Some long-overdue updated pics

[yamarider]

It's been a long time since i've posted any recent pics of my warrior, so I took a couple today while I had it out working on it. Since the last time I posted any real pics of it a lot has changed. New pep banshee rear shock, new PRM Edge front bumper (finally fixed the frame so I could install it), IMS pegs, AC nerfs, removed the lights, and probably some other things that are escaping the memory right now. The whole thing is sitting lower than it was before due to all new shocks, although the front shocks are shitty suzuki shocks until I get my TCS shocks, which should be here by the end of the month. I'll probably put the stock headlights back on, and the nerfs, wheels, exhaust, and grab bar will all be polished up nice when I get a chance. I might even look into getting a graphics kit from teamexile's bro when he starts making them.

Looking good man - I got a white quad too and know what how big of a pain it is to keep em clean

Hey what happen to the works? Also what's up with the front tires, they look kind of big? Other than that looks good!!! I like the bumber, I'm thinking about selling the AC and getting one myself.

I got rid of the works, actually gave them to my buddy for the back of his suzuki eiger. I never really did like the way they performed, they were just sprung too soft and they were actually too long, so they were killing my tie rod ends. That, and one of them was already starting to leak. I figured that it's not worth taking a chance with cheap stuff again, so I got a set ordered from TCS with a custom length so the ride height will be the same as it is with those suzuki shocks that are on it now.

Yeah, I know, the front tires are monsterous. Everybody notices that. They're really only about an inch wider than a standard front tire, they just look really big for some reason. Either way, I don't have enough of an excuse to replace them yet and they perform decent.

I've got Works on my warrior and I agree they seem a little soft. I put some Elka Elites on my YFZ and compared to the Works it's night and day. I know some people hate Elka, but so far they haven't done me wrong. If and when they do I'll more than likely get them re-built by either PEP or GT Thunder. Any new things done to the VAN...lol That thing is awesome! LOL

yeah my works are set up for my weight and riding so are my friends and both are really soft...i like that though =]

Sometimes it's nice when they're soft, for rough trails and stuff like that. But when they're as soft as mine were they really take away from the cornering ability, and mine were so soft that the suspension compressed way too often. My bumper had actually hit rocks that were sticking out of the trail only a couple inches after landing a small jump. That was my alba bumper, so it is lower to the ground than most, but still the suspension shouldn't be compressing that easy.

how much those TCS cost ya? And what options did you get?

 

[yamarider]

$775, and that's with remote reservoirs and they're adjustable compression.

Im ethier gunna get TCS or custom axis fronts this summer for my EX

You'll be amazed what aftermarket shocks will do for a quad. It's night and day, I was pretty surprised the first time I rode my 450 with my Elkas on...
