might be starting a build soon

[caseywoods5]

i have been wanting to get a bigger fourwheeler but don't have the money all at once so i have been thinking about building it from the ground up. i found a frame with the swingarm, upper a arms but not lower, steering stem, and back brake caliper. he is asking $50 for it and he lives about 2 hours or so away. i asked him for pics and may be going to go look at it soon. does anybody have any opinions and info on warriors?

i say no to 4 pokes

 

[brandoz28]

say no to that..........................


4 stroke bikes are expensive as hell to go from ground up...

X3 on that....15151515

x4 a warrior would not be my choice to waste a ton of money on. 250r if you want something bigger.

 

[brandoz28]

if you find a running riding one that needs a little TLC, that's one thing, but a basketcase like you're talking about is just a bad idea IMO

well guys everything for a 250r around where i live costs an arm and a leg and everything i see for a warrior does not. plus i've been wanting a 4 stroke racing quad and a 300ex didn't feel right and 400ex was too expensive. i'm going to look around and see if i can find cheap 250r parts because i have been wanting one of those but would still get a bigger 4 stroke sometime in the future.

well a used 400ex would cost way less than building a warrior from the ground up and a 400ex would probably still beat it

a warrior is FAR from a 4 stroke race quad.............................any of those are

having owned a built warrior, i say get something else. they dont make lots of power, they dont handle good. you will find out quick they are not fun to own. i had to work on mine all the time, just stupid little sh*t too. had to adjust the valves all the time.

 

[caseywoods5]

well i looked at some 250r stuff and found a frame that comes with swingarm and steering stem and couple of other things for 150 but not sure how much it would be to ship it. also found a arms for 25 dollars so i will probably try building a trx250r instead. thanks for the input. also if you guys know a 4 poke that i could build from the ground up for not alot of cash i would appreciate it.

 

[sheeblast]

400ex would be your cheapest and best bet for a 4-stroke. then a z400. all 450 will be costly, and other 4-strokes are not worth it.

 

[caseywoods5]

alright thanks sheeblast. so what do you think i should do first? a 250r build or a 400ex build?

 

[sheeblast]

the 250r will be better imo. you can make a badass 250r.

 

[caseywoods5]

alright man thanks. i should be getting started on it soon. 250r's are the ones that were used in atv racing up until 2003 when sport atvs were re-introduced correct?

 

[sheeblast]

they were the race quad till yamaha and honda made the rule change to being able to only race quads that were made within the last 3 or so years.

but in amatuer racing people still race them all the time.

 

[caseywoods5]

i didn't know that, i thought they quit using the 250r because the newer 450s came out. i can't wait to build a 250r i've heard that they are mean quads.
