I was tippin back some Long Islands all day. I think it makes me sluur a little. Hahaha. I did get out and hit some small trails. WOW, top end is definitely there now.....top speed, I'm gunna miss it. The added pep is a much welcomed change. Cant wait to really get out into a bigger area and really rip into it. Coming out of corners now is a ton of fun. Kicking the back end with the +3 swingger and the bite of the engine work. Fun stuff. Not gunna win a drag race, but fast slow tight trails, this thing will dominate! More reviews and video to come.

Nope, bolted to the stem and then clamped to one of the front frame rails.

Well guys, I tore **** up over the weekend. Spent 4 day riding in Wayne National Forest. Put around 70miles on it. Super happy with the madcow. The thing RIPPPSSSS. The new cam and head work was WELL worth it. I need to up my front sprocket to a 14 thou, rev out in 1st to fast and the top end isn't there like I'd want but 2nd 3rd and 4th are spot on. The gitty up is wicked fun to rip when in the tight stuff.
Did some all out techical stuff, a few hill climbs and it all left me with a smile on my face.
Sadly, I hate the engien thou......hahah. My LITTLE brother have a 450r and a outlaw 525. There quads are stupid fast. Once you feel that quickness, you realise how limited the 350 is. But I'll still beat the snot out of it.
ALSO, It burns oil like a ************. I went through adding a quart over the days. I have a small leak on the stator cover side (as It always finds a way out, my engine sure loves to bleed) and I belive my rings need replaced, which I should of done when I had it apart.
My question now is, just replace the rings? Should I up to a 85mm or does it need re-sleeved? Lots of headscratching going on right now. Kind of pissed I have to tear into it again. The Fiancé isn't gunna be to happy either as I promised her I'm done with it. Hahaha
Go-pro action video I'll post up soon. Got some really good/cool footage. Sadly thou, I filled the memory and killed the battery before I got to any hill climbs. I'll get some of those soon enough.

Sucks don't it?! I really like the warrior. It would be nice to step up but I'm not impressed with the 400ex (even though I like Honda), I'm not a Suzuki guy (so doubtfull I'd get a z400), none of the 450's have reverse (except Kawasaki, again not a big fan), and the raptor 700 is just too much bike for my trails. The warrior suits me and my needs just fine. Got it tuned great right now, can't wait to get the stroker done!

Was the cylinder in good shape when you had the head off? If so, hone it and replace the rings. That's what I'd do.

yeah, the cylinder seemed just fine, even still had some honing marks on it, thats why I thought It would be ok. but, its smoking bad, really bad. Just want to make sure just rings will fix it so I wont have to tear into it for a third time.

My rule of thumb is, if there is healthy crosshatch left, just hone it and rering it, or new piston and rings. Pull it down and run a bore mic down it and see what it says. If you don't mind 12:1, '00 WO YA! has an 85mm JE forsale.
