We Rescued a Yamaha Warrior 350 from the Crusher! Will it Run Again?

  • The Yamaha Warrior 350 is one of my favorite sport ATVs! They're equipped with a simple and powerful 350cc air cooled engine and 5 speed transmission. They're not as powerful as the Raptor 660 or Raptor 700, but they make up for it in agility and playfulness. Charles owned a Yamaha Raptor 350 years ago, and I've been looking for a similar quad ever since. Today, I bought a clapped out 2000 Yamaha Warrior for $50! The previous owner told me he couldn't get it running and he was going to haul it off to the crusher if I didn't want it. Miraculously, we got this old sport quad running again!

    Can’t steal parts off of it now. You’ll have a blast riding that at the off road park! They have tons of torque. 3rd gear is the sweet spot on these for trail riding. Plenty of low end torque and top speed cruising in 3rd.

      Otherwise, you probably get $1000 bucks for it, +/- at the very least I'd think.

    Back when I was racing enduros I made my own brakes. Take an old set of car/truck pads and hacksaw the remaining pad off (3.00 to 5.00 mm thick). Shape with bench grinder and use 5min JB Weld. Helpful hint’s rough up the backings and pads, install in a vice for an hour or so to let dry. store bought pads would last one race (150 miles or so) and I could get two races with my set.
