i'm kinda at the same point. i love the warrior and it is a great quad. i just dont know how much money to put into it. i got my 01 for only 1100. even though i've put a lot of money into, if i sold it right now, i could still sell it for blue book and not lose any money. i've held of on any motor work because you cant part out a motor. you can always sell the bolt-ons though. i'm curious to hear what people recommend for you on your question
