+1, the Warrior never breaks, at least not on essential (warranted) parts. Plus, once you get the bike you will love to take care of it, not just ride it. What do you think you will do in winter time? Personally, I would prefer to spend the money on some nice accessories and mods.
parkinglot is right, also. You will find way more information here compared to the Yamaha dealer. The guys on forums will diagnose way more accurate the mechanical problem you experience, compared to a dealer. Plus, there is no mechanic in the world that will do a better job, then you. That is because you put heart on your work, while the dealer puts only cash into his pocket. I brought once my bike to a dealer and they butchered everything. I had to take everything apart at home and redo it my way...
This is when I discovered those forums. No mechanics will ever touch my bike again from now on (unless there is something related to lack of specialized tools or big jobs, transmission etc.).
The amount of information you find on thise forums is simply incredible, take the time to read the technical forum and you will become in no time a decent mechanic for your beloved Warrior. I know I discovered a new passion, since I got my machine. That is not only riding... but also maintaining your bike.
