Since our race, the first one of the season was canceled and we were crazy pissed about it, there was only one way to aleve the situation, which was go riding, and drag our dad along so that we had something to laugh about. Exile and myself our on our Warriors and our old man is on a timberwolf, which we spent a majority of the time pushing and pulling around in the snow, its just not cut out for that kind of weather. This was also out dads first "real" ride per-say since he inherited the timberwolf a couple years ago from us once we got better bikes. He just rode it around the yard and up and down the street until now so it took some getting use to for him.







 
it was a blast i ended up getting a lot further on that jump when deano was taking pics and it started hurting from landing soo hard. Not very big jumps but it was fun.

O we also talked our dad into buying my friends polaris scrambler 500 4x4 too so we will be getting rid of the t-wolf but now we wont have to push him everywhere haha.
 
Damn that looks like so much fun. We only got snow around here like 5-7 times this winter and only 2 or 3 of the times did it actually stick to the ground. Those trails look like a lot of fun, you're lucky you have trails, in NJ it's all about the illegal riding lol. It's funny how the stock warrior and that utility atv (sorry don't know the name) took so much longer to get up those hills, and yours just flew right up them, that is one mean Warrior. If you get the 450 big bore I bet that would be one sick ride. Do you know what its' top speed is now?
 
I think mine cooks, but my carb is wiggin out on me right now, the jetting is wack. I had to clutch run the bike up the bigger hill most the time.
 
The one snow we got here, I went riding for most of the day, but the snow turned alot of the ground into much so hill climbs got a bit tricky.

Also deadlast your warrior is mostly stock enginewise? If so then your probably topping out between 58-62mph, I have a pipe and filter and my trailtech has me topping out right around 60.
 
The thing is, though, don't forget the Warrior has very good low end power which really does compensate for the not-so-high top end speed, I guess. What I've noticed a lot of people say, a lot of the aftermarket parts on the Warrior always end up helping the low end and the acceleration a lot more than they help the top speed, but it really doesn't matter unless you drag race, I think the Warrior if done up correctly can actually be a really good quad to compete in trails with. Everyone always talks about how it's a fantastic trail quad, so yeah. Oh and I thought the Warrior did like 58-62 tops stock? Mine is piped(full pipe) and jetted what do you think it is capable of topping out on? Unfortunantly I don't have a way of checking nor have I gotten the opporuntiny yet because it has been mad cold lately and my dad refused to drive me anywhere till it's warm, and last time I rode it he was on back with me and told me not to pass 4th gear or he'll fall off, not to mention that's an extra 180 pounds >_>
 
well i have a bunch of mods on my engine and yeah it really only helps the accelleration. I also geared it differently though. But we go about the same top speed becuase i have smaller tires and higher gearing while he has lower gearing and bigger tires. Ill just destroy dead getting to the top speed.
