Build my motor!

[BigCassell]

I have a completely stock motor and next winters project for me is going to be to build my motor. What all steps have ya'll done to build your Warrior motor and is it even worth it to build it? And how much extra speed and power was added after you built it?

Don't bother, spend the money to get a good suspension

Suspension is a major down fall of these bikes.

 

[BigCassell]

So upgrade the suspension. Gotcha. What's the best suspension setup?

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Yep it's money better spent, I would've left mine stock but the valve seals needed replaced and the exhaust stud broke off so I just threw on a ported head with cam that I had and figured while that's off ill throw in a je piston that I got cheap. Overall I've got $450 in my flatside carb, ported head, cam and piston with shop work. Though the 500 I spent on my shocks and a arms where way better money spent

What shocks you run?

+2 a arms and works shocks are a great combo if not try some banshee shocks

I run works fronts with banshee rear

While we're on the topic, what's the cheapest route to go for good shocks for the Warrior?

I'm assuming used banshee fronts and a used 660/banshee rear is pretty good for the price?

Only way other than works

The progressive Banshee shocks are good, just make sure that you get the progressive ones.. like these.

There are just strait banshee shocks out there as well. They look like this.

The fullflight arms are pretty decent for the price.

But ASR arms are the shiznit IMO. (bottom of the page)
