I will get more pictures today and post them tonight
The nuts that were welded into the frame for the footpegs the one broke off so we are going to drill out a 1/2" hole through the frame and the footpegs and run a threaded rod through the frame and weld it in place and put nuts on the outside of the footpeg i will get pictures of that when we do it

I got a flat tire halfway through the second lap then a little after mile marker 5 out of 5 1/2 miles on the last lap i hit a rock in third gear it almost threw me over the bars and my head was at the bumper and i noticed the a-arm was in two pieces so i limped her back past the finish line and when i made the sharp left corner to go back to the camp site my tire decided to not want to go straight and it bent my tie rod and shock

Thanks i really don't want to get rid of the warrior because i know i will regret it one day but it's going to a friend who will take good care of it and not beat the **** out of it like I did.

I'm selling it once i get my new a arm from full flight

Nice yfz. Get the oil upgrade from J and T . And it might need the zip tye mod. You got any questions, feel free to ask.



Here's mine a couple years ago.

There are some pics of my new quad
It has elka stage 3's on the front i think they are stage 3's it has 3 different springs on it and it has high and low speed compression adjustment

Houser stock length swing arm
Bigger tank not sure on brand
Belly skid and a arm skids
What to get rotor and sprocket guards

Came with:
Stock tank with tank cover
Front and rear fenders scratched really bad though
Extra set of wheels and tires Itp baja's with itp holeshots front wheels are bent really bad though
Clutch cable

I took off the razr2's and beadlocks because those are only for racing because they are too expensive for how much i ride at my house

And my friend traded his 05 crf450 for a 06 yfz450 with 12.5-1 compression
+2 all the way around elka stage3's older style though pro circuit exhaust on the same day i got my quad lmao but his is beat to **** and i still beat him in a race so i don't think my motor is stock or he has different gearing

Nice. Those shocks look like mine, stage 4 with dual rate springs. I been wanting a Houser swinger to go with my A arms. Nice score on the YFZ.
 
Wow i really miss my Warrior that thing rode like a dream, not gonna lie but the yfz is pretty awesome though and the warrior can't touch it on any type of track, i have a small oval track at my house and since i sold the warrior to a friend we raced and i lapped him 2 times in one race which was about 6-8 laps, but i did like how well the warrior with the +2's all around and the 450 front shocks handle corners

Update on my old warrior: the friend i sold it to me and him were road riding in the rain he was trying to keep up with me he took a corner too fast and spun out and clipped a patch in the pavement with the back tire and flipped it a couple times he is ok the quad has a bent steering stem and bars.

i got my old warrior back from my friend to rebuild the motor again. i took it apart thinking in needed rings but when i took it apart it looked like the oil galley seal failed because i checked the ring gap and it was with in spec and there was a lot of oil in it to just to be the rings. so i don't know if i should replace the rings or not because he wants to spend the least amount of money.
 
Here are the pictures of the steering stem he hasn't fixed yet

And here is the cylinder and head it was saturated with oil
