ATVs are Cool
July 17th, 2006 at 7:34 pm by Bob Weber (Warrior)
Finally bought an ATV this spring. Not anything too exciting, but a good starter bike.
It’s a 1988 Yamaha Warrior (YFM350). Not sure yet if it’s a long term machine or not. I like the Warrior for a variety of reasons and it seems to be a good trail bike, but there were some design changes between 88 and 89. I’m thinking about selling it and getting a newer one. If anyone out there has links or information on what changed with the 89 models and why, or what parts swap between Blasters, Banshees and Warriors, let me know - it will make my decision easier.

Warriors are the best bikes on the planet. I had a 1988 warrior. Never had a problem with it. Super reliable.

I put a set of Banshee shocks on mine this summer. Made a HUGE difference.

warriors are one of the best 4 wheelers i have had a warrior is wat you need but if you are selling a warrior get a 2000 or a 99 they are faster and handle better on trails and blow past the others
