Welcome aboard, great bunch of guy's here. You will get better technical advice
here than you will from Yamaha.

 

I think you'll find the Warrior somewhat accodating in the fun department compared to your roadracing bikes. It is not the same mind you, but I dont think you'll be dissapointed. Congratulations and welcome aboard.

 

I was fortunate to be able to get about 2 hours of seat time on my buddy's identical '05 about a month ago, so I knew what I was getting. I'm all grins so far. I am just really at that stage where I need something that is still fun, but a little less intense. I really got out of riding sportbikes on the street when I started racing, and the KTM is a little too small for riding any more than 200 miles - and definitely not on the highways.

Hey Kbracer where in sacto are you? I'm up in Placerville. We got a sacto area thread around here somewhere and a northern california thread.

I'm actually in Roseville, west side over by HP and NEC if you're familiar with the area. I go through Placerville pretty frequently on my ride loops. My buddy lives up near Georgetown, so we usually make a big loop of Wentworth Springs, Ice House, Hwy50, and through Placerville on our way up Hwy49 to go back to Cool/Georgetown.

I'll check out the Sacto and NoCA threads.

Welcome, Can I borrow the Duke??????

 

Welcome kb! Nice choices in your garage!! Aaah, variety!!

 

welcome aboard kbracing, let the modding begin , so whats your first mod going to be ?

 

i recommend churchkey vbak for the first mod.
Congrats on the new ride, get out there and let er eat (the rear tire that is)

 

I spent quite a bit of time lurking the forums leading up to my purchase. Based on what I've learned so far, a Churchkey VBAK, PCIII, and Speedstar pipe are in my near future.

I have seen people reporting mis-aligned clutch cables and such on delivery of their bikes. I noticed this morning that the sensor lead for the clutch inter-lock was not connected. It was actually more of a "what's this connector hanging here on the bar" kind of discovery.

I also believe the belt may be a bit on the snug side, but this is my first belt-drive bike and I'm not sure how it should "feel". It's taught, about no give at all to hand applied pressure. I think I will pickup the proper tool from the dealer to check it.

The Warrior was the only option. I think it might be more truth to say the Warrior picked me than I picked the Warrior. I first saw one at the International Motorcycle Show in san Mateo in 2003 and it just left an impression on me that never went away. I guess I finally matured enough to have one.

Congatulations and welcome aborde.Yes the Warrior picks his riders,when it lays eyes on you,you are done,he knew you have a good stable and want it to be part of
it...

 

Welcome to the forum!!

Actually, there is a small window cut into the plastic of the upper belt guard to show you how much free play you should have.

 

Welcome Black Cherry did you say Sweet! Of course you know that is the fastest color! ENJOY!

 

I too have a black cherry warrior. AWESOME!!!! Welcome and congrats on your purchase. Have fun with mod madness!

 

Wait til the mod bug really hits. In the two months that I've had mine I added a lowering kit, radius bars, ais block, PR BAK, PC3 and a laptop to go with it so I don't have to haul the desktop outside. Waiting on the Holeshot header system to get finished so I can add it to the list. I'm gonna try to wait til Xmas for a 240 kit but probably won't make it that long. The wife thinks I need therapy.

 

Welcome to HEAVEN on wheels! Black cherry is the fastest. I'm new to the group since March. GREAT place to hang out. Keep it UP and SAFE!

 

Congrats on your bike. I have a source of contention though. You were misinformed, it turnsout that the titanium is the fastest color (although I am starting to think that my support group for this color is fading as the years go on). [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

Dave

 

many congrats on your new purchase. I'm with Warrior Dave, the Titanium has always been the fastest (now, how much were those Turbo kits?)
