Hey, just found this site. Recently moved into the country...finally. I have moderate riding experience. I grew up riding a kx80 as a kid. I joined the Marine Corps after high school, and got out of riding for quite some time. Got married, moved out into the country and recently bought a 2000 Warrior. I bought this thing for 1,200 bucks knowing it would need some work. I decided to join here because I'm thinking pretty hard about doing a huge overhaul on this thing similar to what a lot of guys have done. I don't race or anything, just trail ride.
Any advice or list what big upgrades you would recommend. I'm all ears. I'm still learning quite a bit about quads, so go easy on me. This quad is pretty much all stock with a rebuilt motor. It's a little rough but I knew that based on what I paid for it. I've seen some youtube videos of custom 350's that really have me intrigued. More or less I'm looking for advice on parts or possible links on where to get decent deals on stuff.
What I'm looking into doing:
Powder coat frame
new swing arm
shocks
plastics- looking into color options, hard to find.
tires- I notice a lot of guys using Maxxis, I'll probably go with these.
sprockets, chain, axle- noticed some play, possibly bad bearing or hub?
rims
exhaust- all ears, I've heard HMF is good?
I'm a bigger guy (6'3'' 250) so I don't know what type of shocks or suspension set up would be best, displaying my ignorance here I know.
My goal is to build a custom warrior I plan on keeping. I really like what I've seen from 917jolly. Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
