So, the warrior has a reputation for being durable, and having done work on a few of them and having ridden hard I'm constantly finding myself saying "I can't believe that still got me home"
I figure everyone has a story or some pictures of similar situations, mechanical failures and trailside fixes, it'd be fun to share! Post your experiences!
 
A fine example... friends clutch cable broke, but it's cool because we made a new one, leg actuated!20230715_142708.jpg
Got us through the rest of the ride!
 
Doing an engine refresh on the same machine... the timing chain guide was bent and worn through to the metal, the jug had a crack in it and the stator wiring was all melted together at the plug... but it still ran fine.
I donated my old carberator to the cause and upon taking it apart the accelerator pump was corroded in place with no spring in sight. Thing never missed a beat while I was using it, ran fine!
