ok my friend has a 1995 yamaha warrior whith some minor upgrades, and we like to drag race in feilds or on the road , i always beat him in 1-3, and halfway into forth gear , but hea always beats me from 4-6 is there any cheap way to give me the extra edge so i can beat him in top end or just get super far a head in bottom end???

thats weird you should be owning him. arent those warriors just 250 4 pokes or something?

and maybe a change in gear ratio. maybe someone else will post, im not to familiar with the sproket ratios but others are.

I see you were wanting a pipe anyways, get the pipe, remove your airbox lid, make sure you got a good clean air filter, and jet the carb after putting on the pipe and the other, thats a good start. Also, make sure your running good gas, I run 91 octane (all thats available here), no ethanol.

Besides the pipe, jets are only $3, and filter might just need cleaned, other than that, a little time and hopefully that will help you out some. Put a fresh plug in too, its only $2, and then you know thats not holding you back at all.

What size tires you have, and do you have stock gearing? (count the number of teeth on the sprockets were the chain is if your not sure)

Does it feel like its reaching top RPMs in top gear, or only running halfway?

Does the blaster seem to run great, or is it boggy, or surging at all?

Hopefully that helps a little.

warriors are 350 4 strokes, and you should really get a pipe and silencer. that will really open you motor.

We have 2 Blasters, and a Raptor 350 (new Warrior), and the Blasters beat the Raptor pretty consistantly. No matter which of the boys rides the Raptor the other beats him on a Blaster. One of our Blasters are fairly modded, but the other with just a pipe was beating it. Now that it has a K&N and jetted/airbox lid off compared the the Raptors pipe/jetted it beats it even more.

So I will go along with the rest and say find a good deal on a pipe, and maybe get a free flowing air filter along with some proper jetting, and you should do much better.

Just change your gearing.

You won't accelerate as fast, but it won't fall on its face up top...

oh its a 350 4 right i forgot that. that sh*ts slow. hows he beating you? are stock blasters acualy that slow without upgrades?

ive ridden the 350 raptor and what a POS, get a pipe and a 14 tooth front sprocket and u should own him!

warriors are so freakin heavy. you ever look at the bottom end on one of those things? almost as big as the bottom end of the integra.

On paper the Raptor/Warrior is only suppose to be slightly heavier than the Blasters, but in reality that thing is like lifting a tank in comparison. It is heavy, bulky, sluggish, and top heavy.

We have to lift the front end of our quads onto our trailer because I never installed ramps on it, and I hate dragging our portable ramps with us. That Raptor seems to weigh a ton when lifting the front end on the trailer. I can throw the Blasters around on it all day, but I dread even touching the Raptor.

My YFZ is only slightly heavier to load than the Blaster, but that is a totally different breed of quad compared to the Raptor too.

I hope to hear more on how your race turns out with a few simple mods to your Blaster... Good luck
