Just an update. Found a tank on e-bay for $9+9 shipping, what a great deal. Thanks for the advice. In the mean time I epoxied it so I could still ride. Epoxy worked! So now I will wait and see if it starts leaking again, if so I gottem the part on hand.

I also have a Supertrap, it was on there when I bought it, it has 10 disk in the stack. Mine is an 2001. More disc = louder. On my past bikes that ran Supertraps I ocasionally had to remove and clean the disc. This cleaning can affect how it runs. You may want to clean them, then jet the carb...

Sounds like great advice, thanks alot. Ebay here I come. Shure seams cheap compared to other parts I have bought.

Wow that is cheap, I thought they would be around 75-$100. Thanks

The fuel tank on my 2001 Warrior developed a small leak where the back of the right front fender has rubbed thru it. I checked the left side and it is worn too, but not all the way thru. I will place some sacrificial wearing hard plastic over these areas after it is fixed, I just don't know what...

I thought we weren't supose to run synthetic oil in the Warrior because of the clutch. Apparently it doesn't hurt anything.

Wow that was a good deal. I am pretty ignorant about the differences between a Raptor and a Warrior. Looks like the Raptor has a little more rear suspension travel and is about 22 pounds lighter. That is a big difference in weight. Where did Yamaha trim it from? Here is a comparison chart I...

I bought a 1977(?) Yamaha TT500 new, and back then SuperTrapp was the only aftermarket pipe available. So it was the best by-far over the original pipe.No body did much with 4-strokes back then. It just so happens my 01(used) Warrior had a Supertrap on it when I bought it. What is the general...

Just wondering how/why members here bought the Warrior over other quads. Here is why I have one...I did not know anything about quads and was just going to buy the wife and I a couple generic Polaris Trail Boss's, something to learn on. Luckily for me a co-worker asked about my past riding...

First time I went to change my oil, I found that the drain plug had been installed by a gorilla. Even using a good quality 6 point socket, the corners just crumbled. A member on another forum suggested using the Sears Bolt-Out. I was sceptical but it worked great, it took over 95 ft lbs before...

Thanks fer the welcome. As far as questions...i keep forgetin what I was a thinkin whilist starin at yer avatar. I will give this site a thorogh read before i duplicate a past question, thanks.

46 years old, live in AZ, just bought my first quad; 01 Warrior. Great website you have here. I stumbled acrossed it while looking for a way to install an oil cooler. Can't beat the info here. Thanks! ;D
