Johnnnnn I don’t wanna have to come back and beg for another videooooo, I want to see you with the sleeveless polo on kicking banshees over in sandals !!!!!
Now I'm a two stroke guy but I've always had a soft spot for these warriors. They were great machines. They were no TRX but you didn't have to spend TRX money to get them. Warrior and blaster don't get any love because of the raptor and the banshee but I've had more fun on warriors and blasters than you could imagine. Yamaha always made great machines.
It's good seeing Wes on his own sports quad n looking happy as hell with a big smile on his face to...I think u made his day helping him with this brotha...this is why I like watching u n Wes on ur channel ...u help others with out asking for anything in return...ur a good person john....and ur just two normal guys doing normal stuff n having fun while doing it...another great video John...keep em coming n have a good day brotha...
I took my warrior’s seat to an upholstery shop and had them add two inches of foam and re-cover it. Was tired of how you squat so low when riding these things. Feels great now and my knees aren’t sore as hell after riding it.
They are already too top heavy. The low ride helps with handling as it's a trail quad. Your knees may not hurt, but it definitely doesn't handle as good.
Little trick with the warrior when shifting to and from reverse. If it don't go right in and out just keep a little pressure on the reverse shifter and let the clutch out slightly and it will pop right in.
@@StupidFastJohn awesome dude. The linkages are weird on the warriors. Unless you can get them adjusted 100% prefect which is damn near impossible on old beaters. It works every time just make sure the reverse lever gets pushed down and fully engages the dogs. Otherwise it could pop into natural unexpectedly. Takes a little to get used to but once you got it you can shift between drive and reverse almost as quick as up shifting lol.
Nice... I have this kit, for my 99... Just haven't put it on yet... 🤗 You gave me some inspiration. I haven't fully figured out all the do what's with the carb & the BB kit. Glad you talked about that also 😁
Great video and contact I would also like to add you put some good modifications on this bike however let’s be clear about the Yamaha warrior it is notorious for having problems with the boot it connects the carburetor to the actual motor the manifold typically it’s made out of a rubber and hard plastic material with some metalSo once you get to riding this heats up and slowly has a gasket leak you went with the metal titanium manifold which is full proof against this problem you’re making me proud guys
I like the looks of the yellow hubs with the white rims. It definitely gives a late 80's early 90's performance quad feel to it. Maybe down the line you could paint the nose shroud/hood a similar shade of yellow to match, possibly find some yellow vinyl and redo the seat as well? Just a thought. :)
Loved the video, looking at quad to ride because I lost my leg and can’t motocross anymore. You guys are fun to watch, but gave me a good idea about what used quad to find that is inexpensive but rips
I still don't understand why Yamaha used linkage on the Warrior and Raptor shifters; that one you made is probably so much better dude; sounds good too 🤘
Thanks dude shes def a very healthy powerhouse, i am very shocked how responsive and how much torque it makes, 2nd gear wheelies were easier then i expected with the low warrior gearing 👊🤙
Hey guys is gd to see more people bringing them warriors back to life... a big question hom.. where can I get the case and front sprocket guard for 97 warrior... can't find it.. I'll appreciate your help 🙂 and thanks
Those Kenda Geckos are gonna be okay for the first couple trips, but most people outgrow them quickly. They just don't have the hookup of modern tires. But otherwise, great job guys. Should be a fun machine.
BOOM goes the dyomite! That's a sweet quad Wes, u ride it get good on it. Then go big TIME! I love that case 580 I think, maybe 680 but I love that old backhoe. John u, take care of Wes, good help is hard 2 come by.
Torn a bunch them apart and the shift fork in side ware out from people stumping on them because of lose shifter found worked on them more then road it .
Ps. I have the black insert for his warriors bumper that an Alba right? Mine came with a black and blue one and I used the blue I have the black one still if you guys want it I’ll contribute to the build lol
I sold my $450r not long ago because my wife is getting in the riding and the 450 with me on it doesn't seem to like the Chug slowly through the woods. I pick up a nice warrior I'm working on now I'm not good at carburetors and nothing but I guess I'll learn. My other one is a 2021 Honda Foreman which she loves now so I had to get me the warrior so we could have trail time together
Although not the fastest.. warriors are honeslty some kick ass atvs!! Top end is great, light sport feel with reverse, 6 speed trans, and these things will take a damn beating and keep on going. I rebuilt mine at 5 years of owning and bought it used! It didn’t even need a rebuild. I just did it as a learning curve and she was starting to smoke a bit. Runs amazing and relatively easy to work on!
Mine started blowing white smoke out the exhaust a couple days ago and it had never done this before what do you think that is ? My top end or is it something not as serious
Yeah dudes!!! At the end I was waiting to see if it shifted good and right before the vid ended he popped it in 2nd, and I was like phewww lmao 🤣 may need freeway adjust on the pressure plate maybe? How's it shifting now and did u guys run it through all the gears down the road?
hey man did you end up finding fender flares? if so how did you get your hands on some? i’m needing some for mine and i can’t find the things anywhere.
I love watching grown adults spending their children's college tuition on toys .................. AND riding ATVs in the yard WILL create drainage problems !!!!
College is overrated anyways brother and i have a french drain around the bacj of my house and my polebuilding. Work smarter and plan for your childish fantasies 👌👊🙌🙌🙌💯🍻
There's absolutely no need to do that. When shifting in and our of reverse just keep some pressure on the reverse shifter and let the clutch out a bit and it will pop right in. If forward warriors can be tricky trying to get in neutral especially when they are warm.
@@roguepowersports3576 I’ve come to the point that when it’s warm I will hold my clutch, get off the quad and with my right hand lift it into neutral. I look dumb doing it but I look even dumber when I sit there trying six or seven times to foot f*** it into neutral.
I've never understood why people tried painting plastic ATV fenders yeah it looks good until you really start riding it and then it makes it look horrible I don't know what's under that paint but stuff scratches and fading is very easy to fix on plastic but paint does not look good for very long
Johnnnnn I don’t wanna have to come back and beg for another videooooo, I want to see you with the sleeveless polo on kicking banshees over in sandals !!!!!
I think this comment won my heart the most dude. Ill make a video just for this one alone broski 👊👊👊
Hell yeah 👊🏼

They were good machines for what they were and reliable I've always been a honda man but those old warriors were built tuff

Thank you for the kind words Shane! 👊👊👊
Yep no problem man it's just the truth..
👊👊👊
I wouldn't necessarily call a Warrior a sport quad. It's a bike you bring so the girlfriends can ride too.
I took my warrior’s seat to an upholstery shop and had them add two inches of foam and re-cover it. Was tired of how you squat so low when riding these things. Feels great now and my knees aren’t sore as hell after riding it.

Appreciate the info brother 👊 always trying to keep learning!
This is correct always worked on my warrior
John and Wes good job guys im glad to see you got that warrior back to life. I would make a cheap seat cover for it before hitting the dunes good luck

I put a yz250f shifter on mine
Hey guys is gd to see more people bringing them warriors back to life... a big question hom.. where can I get the case and front sprocket guard for 97 warrior... can't find it.. I'll appreciate your help 🙂 and thanks
Front sprocket guard from drw performance! The case not sure, facebook groups and ebay!
Its wend sept. 29th and you are all currently at little sahara! Cant wait for that content!
Hell yea bro! Lets goooo
So exciting, just got my 1st ride last Saturday. So sweet!
Im glad im not the only one that has issues with the reverse 🤣
You can buy a shifter for the warrior to eliminate the linkage. Modquad I think.
Good to know, my linkage is 💩
Dually noted, we are strapped for time so just making due 😅
Use a yz250f shifter that's what I used
came from Sabo and quad wars... what a duo!
I had a warrior took the linkage off the shifter and just bolted it straight to the transmission it worked fine
The linkage is fucking junk
You can get some cheap fabric and make a seat cover to hold ya over until you get a permanent 1
That wobbly shifter is a common problem on warriors/raptors. Just witnessed one break last Saturday on a 86km funduro
when shifting outta reverse you have to release the clutch fully then put it in first
Those Kenda Geckos are gonna be okay for the first couple trips, but most people outgrow them quickly. They just don't have the hookup of modern tires. But otherwise, great job guys. Should be a fun machine.
Yeah I think they'll be ok just on a warrior. If u were sand dragging a banshee u wouldn't want those.
Yz250 2 stroke shifter works too replace the shifter to put it directly on the engine insted of the linkage
The magical sandals fixed the gearbox that wouldn't shift🤣
BOOM goes the dyomite! That's a sweet quad Wes, u ride it get good on it. Then go big TIME! I love that case 580 I think, maybe 680 but I love that old backhoe. John u, take care of Wes, good help is hard 2 come by.
BARRY!!!! Its a 1977 john deere 410 👊 also i try to take care of em 🙌
Thats sweet . I was just lookin at a few on market place. Thinking about getting a warrior project .
You guys related to 2 Vintage? Just kidding, maybe...Wes looks so happy, nice job hooking him up with his own ride!
Ya gotta make coustom a-arms makes a world of a difference 👍🏽
Torn a bunch them apart and the shift fork in side ware out from people stumping on them because of lose shifter found worked on them more then road it .
Ps. I have the black insert for his warriors bumper that an Alba right? Mine came with a black and blue one and I used the blue I have the black one still if you guys want it I’ll contribute to the build lol
What size jets did you guys go with on this set up? Getting ready to do the same build
You can use a yz125 shifter

Showing off those sandals again on that power slide ehh?!?! 🩴 😳😉🤣
You could go buy some vinyl from a fabric store for fairly cheap and redo the seat how I do mine
Good job didn’t think this quad would amount too much lol

Head gasket
@@StupidFastJohn will that cause me to lose some power ?
did you get cast or forged piston?
lookin good son! i very happy for Wes
used to have a 366cc warrior loved it
Would you recommend a 300ex with 40 boarded or a Yamaha Warrior with upgraded pipe?
Looking good!!👍🏻 All ready for Little Sahara.
Ohhh yea!!!
Oh my...a big boy in the background at the beginning.
Yeah dudes!!! At the end I was waiting to see if it shifted good and right before the vid ended he popped it in 2nd, and I was like phewww lmao 🤣 may need freeway adjust on the pressure plate maybe? How's it shifting now and did u guys run it through all the gears down the road?
What carb by chance? I’ve got a cart on zoomzoom now!
When is the next video? Hope you had a good Christmas and new year’s!
which one would be better, a big bore or high compression piston?
Yes
hey man did you end up finding fender flares? if so how did you get your hands on some? i’m needing some for mine and i can’t find the things anywhere.
reply when you get the chance man
Just ordered a carb for my warrior how long does it take them to ship
Looking good boys!
Nice build throw like a 6 or 7 extreme paddle hauler on that with a 8 inch rim that warrior will rip in the dunes. Sick build guys
What year is it? I’ve got one as well mines a 93’.
I used to have to turn my warrior off to go from reverse to forward. Not sure why but it was always a pain
I thought it was just my peice of junk!:d
Very cool build guys!
30 bucks, rocky mnt atv got those atack graphic seat covers, i got one on my yfz, fits great and looks good
Thing is fucking rad dude I love the look
What's up with the talon in the yard?
Good job bro
Hey bud you coming to badlands this year?
Congratulations I hope John rides it like he stole it
shift star mod helps tremendously, would love to put my 366 against this!!!
What's up with the eagle talon?
To fix that warrior properly I think you swap it out for the z400 lol
Where are you guys located?
Is this your 1st quad..🤔
Yoshimura pipe all the way❤
You gonna make us wait another week for a video? 🥺😋
Never realized these had that weird shift linkage setup, makes sense why so many warriors shift like shit lol
That's no excuse.. When I was a young teen, I had a 02 warrior. I never had a problem shifting.
thats just worn parts.....
I put a yz250f shifter on mine
What is a good upgrade in shocks for the Blaster. I only ride mine on ice. Thanks
Elka or fox you wont be dissapointed!!!
@@StupidFastJohn I'm leaning towards the Elkas. Thanks again. You and Sabo have great videos. Keep them coming. ✌️
@@StupidFastJohn I'm leaning towards the Elkas. Thanks again. You and Sabo have great videos. Keep them coming. ✌️
Bad shift forks?
What was the music used around the 1:50 mark
I’ve owned a few it is a problem f then shifters
Top speed?
Nice guys!
Might I be able to know where you got the big bore kit from??
@@LandonBizik zoom zoom performance
The little connector with the bolts on it to the gear shifter is bad
Did your exhaust glow red hot at all im building a 1987 one bone stock and the pipe glows red
Not sure but....are you the guy who brought that quadzilla to Michael Sabo?
Yes
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bikes and shop
The thumbnail is a normal turn at sandlake. To damn bumpy out there.
Hobby lobby has leather to redo that seat
Anybody know a legit site to get parts for drz 125
bend that damn shifter in please
Rear tires r on backwards. Lol. Need d to swap the back wheels. That will put the tires how they're supposed to be. Just saying. Nice bike!!
Hey man love your channel and content! Just please ditch the cheesy justin sturgill style intro.. just a suggestion

Turn engine off when putting in reverse or nuturealn
There's absolutely no need to do that. When shifting in and our of reverse just keep some pressure on the reverse shifter and let the clutch out a bit and it will pop right in. If forward warriors can be tricky trying to get in neutral especially when they are warm.
@@roguepowersports3576 I’ve come to the point that when it’s warm I will hold my clutch, get off the quad and with my right hand lift it into neutral. I look dumb doing it but I look even dumber when I sit there trying six or seven times to foot f*** it into neutral.
Anybody calling a warrior "crazy fast" needs their internet privileges taken away
It has 19 hp stock
Cave man I know what the look is Fred Flintstones
🤣👊
I've never understood why people tried painting plastic ATV fenders yeah it looks good until you really start riding it and then it makes it look horrible I don't know what's under that paint but stuff scratches and fading is very easy to fix on plastic but paint does not look good for very long
haha fuckin reverse is always sticking on mine too
DO A 300EX WITH A 330 BIG BORE!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m in Milford New Hampshire
U running race gas
God I hope he does jump that thing, all that chicken poop will break and he could die. Lol
Your a 🤡🤡🤡 i think you should have your head checked
Just buy a yz250 shifter and go direct
Please tell me you have an air filter on the carb
Clean that air box
We ditched the box for an open filter with outerwears cover because we didnt have the right intake tube
