i picked up my 01 warrior a few months back. i got it from this kid who seemed to care more about painting things on it rather then fixing it. i wish i had paid more attention to that when i bought it, but in the end im happy with it. its a great bike, even though ive spent more on it then i probably should have.
when i picked it up, it was pretty much stock except for a dg slip on, dg front bumper, and full dg skid plates. first thing to go were the garbage original tires that were absolutely useless in any amount of snow. i replaced those with 21x7x10 and 20x11x9 GBC XC masters. it also needed a arm bushings and brakes all around, as well a a full tune up. after that, the mod bug hit. i got my hands on a raptor 660 rear shock, raptor 350 fronts (its amazing how bad the stock warrior shocks are) a set of pro taper bars, tusk nerfs, new chain and sprockets (JT steel 14/40 and RK x-ring chain), raptor 350 clutch cable set up w/ moose ez pull levers, parking brake delete. the dg slip on was def not for a warrior, as it was mounted with small brackets, but i ended up scoring a white bros e-series of craigslist for stupid cheap, just needed to be re-packed. also found out my axle was slightly bent so off with that and got a tusk adjustable, and replaced the carrier bearings while i was at it. im pretty happy with it as it sits, but im sure ill be adding more stuff.
