After some research I come to the conclusion that it might be possible that a Yamaha Raider starter could work on a Warrior.
I ordered on from DB Electrical for $124 part number 1D7-81890-01-00
It arrived today and I set to work. First thing I noticed is the shaft is different but over all it looks like ours.
So I took it apart and once apart I see some differences that the brushes are different and the starter housing has the same magnets as ours but only 4 instead of 5... (I didnt get pics of this but will)
What I did was take the Warrior armature and put it in the Raider starter body along with the warrior end caps. I and bolted it all up. I put the starter gear back on and it spun like normal by hand.
I put the starter on my warrior and bam! Ignition! It spun the bike over just like my normal starter!
So if you want to do this as long as your armature is good it appears it works! I am going to leave the starter on my bike for a while to verify and report back.
FYI I thought I was taking video as I did this but somehow that didnt happen so all these pics are from after I reassembled the starter thus why I am using a burned up warrior armature to show you the differences.
Pic 1 Warrior starter on the right
Pic 2 old burned up warrior armature on the left (no I didnt use this armature) Armatures are overall identical with the exception of the end of the shaft where our starter gear attaches. It appears the raider starter directly engages the engine aka there is no starter gear that attaches to the shaft.
Pic 3 close up of the end of the shaft, warrior armature on the left
pic 4 & 5 the end caps warrior on the left. Its hard to see but they are slightlly different. The bearings are different between the two with the Raiders bearing set way down in there. otherwise the knob sticking out is the same length and diamter.
Pic 6, 7, 8 this is the brushes end of the starters warrior on the left. Again this pieces are similar. The raiders has a different offset for the bracket though. The brushes are different also
