New guy from WI

Hi all,

I just found this site this week and so far I am really impressed by it. I posted a few times in other categories and figured I should formally introduce myself now So here's my story.

I live just outside of milwaukee. I got my warrior last year and started riding trails this year. I have an 87 which I got for free from my parents. They had it on their farm for a few years and never used it. Pretty sweet deal for me. Anyways, last weekend was my first time out on the trails with it and I siezed the rod bearing! Not a big deal though b/c its an excuse to modify it. I have it all apart and ordered a new rod and JE +2mm piston 10.7:1 compression ratio. I also have a full cobra exhaust kit and plan on mounting an oil cooler per the tutorial. I will post pics when I am done.

I work as an R&D engineer for a small construction equipment company. I tear down and build prototype engines and equipment every day. Hopefully I can share some of my knowledge and help build up the site. Like I said earlier I am really impressed with the technical knowledge that I have already read. Keep up the awesome work.

The cobra exhaust came on the quad when I got it. Heck, I didn't even know that it wasn't stock until I did some investigating. I'm not into racing, all I do is trail ride, so for now the cobra will do. I'll replace it once I manage to rust a hole through it. Thanks for the advice. Its funny that I could totally understand what you were typing even though most of your words were misspelled. I guess I had a few of those drunken night myself
