New dude with a Warrior!

[brook32v]

Whats up guys! My name is Brook, and I just bought myself a new money pit.

I haven't owned an ATV since I was about 12, so I am here in search of some good information about the Warrior. My ATV is a 2001 Warrior, and I love it! I got a killer deal on it, but the only kicker is that it had been sitting for a year or so. The lady didn't have any use for it anymore. It has some issues that I need to figure out, so lets hope I am at the right place.

Looks good. Other than the tires, looks identical to mine when I bought it. It didn't stay that too long though ;D

What are some easy mods for these things? Stupid question I know, but it looks like you've experienced a lot of different things on your Warrior.

If I don't hear of anything, I'll probably just get a different filter setup and a slip on for now.

Depends on if you want a better ride or more power..If I had to do it over again i would have done up my suspension before i bought all that other **** for my warrior..But i dont ride it anymore so it doesnt matter..But for suspension there are plenty of aftermarket companys out there. Alot of guys on here have Works shocks. They arent top of the line but 100 times better than stockers..You could also put banshee front shocks on a warrior. They are dual rate and theres a few people on here that run them. For the rear shock you can ethier use a 2001 raptor 660 shock of a banshee rear shock..Look around on the web and on this forum for alot more information on what people run for shocks..As for power. Start with an Airfilter, Exhaust and re jetting your carb..There pretty basic mods..If you really wanted to get serious there are big bore kits and 446 stoker kits out there..

Yeah i would most deffinitly say go with the comfertability of your ride first before you get into fast mods.

I would say get a-arms and shocks first. Warriors stock are really top heavy and wobbly, i rolled mine quite a few times before i modded it. So i would say go with some used or new +2 arms, i got mine off ebay there ASR's and i love them, and some works shocks. Then do what ever you want after that, i wouldnt worry about an axle becuase i have an aftermarket one, its the stock lengh but its just stronger and it lines up pretty good with my arms.
