A Nightmare Come True....

[2000customwarrior]

Its official. I have finally figured out the source of my problems.....A bent valve, But something else was discovered when it was taken apart...a scorched piston and head...the dealer I took it too to have it bored out, parts and labor was gonna cost me $626. Dont ya just love irresponsible people who dont take care of their quads.

yeah, i love those ppl. that's why i look for those types to get great deal's when they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

 

[2000customwarrior]

it made me mad because Ive already got around $800-900 in it and i find this out. its killing me because ive had it almost a year and its been just problem after problem.

**** thats bad man!

 

[2000customwarrior]

no kidding man. its just been rough

 

[96yamahawarrior]

my buddy works at a dealer and he says 90% of the repairs he does are from lack of responsibility on the owners side so this kinda stuff isn't uncommon...

 

[JonS]

oh, i didn't realize you had it that long. i thought you meant you just bought it and found someones negligence. that does suck. that's when i like to make my problems some elses problems by getting shed of it lol

 

[2000customwarrior]

the funny part, the person who had it before me was wayyyyyyy younger than me, so that was kinda the stuff i was hoping wasnt gonna happen, but was preparing for, but owner neglect kills it for the rest of us.

 

[2000customwarrior]

i cant get rid of it. its my first quad, my first baby. I wanted a project, something I can play with all the time and tinker with it, and be able to keep it running for a long time. im only 19, but i wanna have it still running when i turn 25 or so.

 

[DeadLastRacing]

You can fix that for way less the $626. Keep calm and warrior on.

Lets see, 60-80 for boring 45 for head work, pluss valves and piston and gaskets

theres a guy on ebay that sells bore jobs for $40 up to a .040 anything over that cost a little extra. it save alot of money rather than going to a shop. i had my 400ex done by him and two of my old warriors he is doing a .060 for me next week. if you want his info let me know. he also does P&P for $200. im redoing mine now i bought a $100 piston kit, $100 head rebuild kit and this guys work for $260

 

[2000customwarrior]

well its mostly labor, but I do get a warranty on it, and parts and all cost $260, but its gonna be bored over 20 to 40. Also saw a sad site today, the dealership I went to had a warrior there, white and black, and it was rough...i wanted to take it out back and put it down because i felt bad for it, but it did have a super trapp slip on exhaust on it that I may pick up for the cheap-cheap . I know its a lil pricey, but with the kind of resources i have avaliable to me, its all i can manage right now, and im driving an hour to get to the dealership, because the closest dealership is reallllllly iffy about working on it, and I know more than some of the employees, so im getting it done right.
