I have a '98 Warrior with a blown motor. Been halfway poking around for a used motor for it. The other day I found out a buddy of mine has a Yamaha 400 Special I can get for a good price with low miles. 400cc twin, nice compact motor. I'm thinking of poking it in my extra Warrior. This could be fun. Anyone ever do this? If so, how did it turn out? The fabrication and stuff isn't a problem, just want to know if it is worth it in the end or if I should look more seriously for a motor.

If it were me i would go for an older 2 stroke motor... a yz490 motor is ideal... tons of power and aircooled therefore you dont have to mount any radiators.... the hardest part would be routing a pipe.. the motor mounts would be cake to fab up... im looking for a cheaper yz490 motor to dump in my bent frame as a project..

Dude! What did that thing top out at? Looked like fun to hold on for dear life on though.
