Hey all, I am new to the warrior scene. Just wanted to say hi and say that I have already learned alot about my bike from this site. I have been riding sport bikes for the past five years, and decided to trade sides about six months ago. I do have an exhaust question for anyone who can answer it. I am looking to get an aftermarket on for my 05 midnight but am curious how it will run without a chip or power commander? Also where is a good place to find a custom looking one?
Thanks all, and hope to keep in touch in the future.
Welcome Debo , .
A power commander is not necessary , just adjust the ECU and take a look in the venders forum and member dicount section for after market pipes. Phats is a great place to start and thier customer service is #1
Welcome to the site Debo. You can easily have custom pipes made for your Warrior if you like as I did, just find a local fabricator and let them know what you want. There are guys on the site that make pipes also and there's some pretty good aftermarket stuff out there too, have a look around the classifieds & the forums for info.
Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new Midnight Warrior...Well...May be it's not new, but it's new to you...
I also own an 05' Midnight Warrior...You're going to love it once you mod her like you want. Not saying that you don't probably love her now...[/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]
As for the exhaust I'd just go with an aftermarket pipe...Samson has some pretty nice pipes...I have the Samson Short Slashers on my Warrior. And personally I think they make the bike look good...They sound good too...
You really don't need a Power Commander, but I would recommend one since it makes it so much easier to tune the bike.
Anyway welcome to the forums again and be proud that you're an official member of the exclusive Midnight Club, as well![/emoticons/emotion-1.gif]
I ran my bike with Vance and Himes BigShots. The bike ran fine with the exception of considerable amount of backfires. I installed a Power Commander III with a map from DynoJet and the bike ran much better, it had more throttle, ran much smoother and the backfires almost disappeared. You may not need the PCIII, but it is well worth it. Plus my bike was ready for the next mod the Churchkey VBAK. After installing the VBAK I remapped the PCIII. My bike is running great.
You can run the aftermarket pipes without the PCIII they will back fire some until you remove the AIS.
Now when you start getting in to modding the intake that's a different story.
Hi There,
I am new to this forum and also new to the cruiser world. Since 1996 I have been riding motorcycles but mostly sport or sport touring category and never had Cruisers.
Now after turning 50+ last year, I decided to give cruisers a try and found a great deal for 2009 Warrior in Red...
Just scooped up a bone stock 04 rs warrior with 1000 miles on the clock, thing looks brand new. Been about 10yrs since I first rode one and fell in love and finally bought one. I just ordered a Churchkey V-BAK, coil relocation kit from Akitadog, AIS delete from Pacific Coast, V&H big shots and a...
I just bought a 2006 warrior a few weeks ago. I am very impressed with it i have had harleys forever but my body couldn't take the vibrations & I didn't like the prices for what I wanted. So far I love this bike. It's stock with a dynajet controller in it. I don't think the dealer new it was on...
Help me decide...
1. 2006 Blue 18k miles, Sissy bar, Engine guards, new tires, recent oil change, small windshield and Vance and Hines short shots (super loud) I would definitely put quiet baffles on it. Has no fuel controller. Just under $4k Owner has had it for 2 years.
2. 2002 27K miles...
So far im loving it! It already had 18" ape hangers and loud Vance and Hines pipes, and a corbin seat with backrest. I took the backrest off, ill prolly just use it for longer rides. The bike is my daily. I know sure i want to get a fender eliminator and move the license plate to the side. I...
