1987 Yamaha Warrior Build

[Ba9801]

ok so I am building an 87 Warrior for my wife.
It was in running but poor shape. It was smoking like crazy and after disassemble we found .008 wear in the cylinder. So a new Weisco .020 piston is going in. The plastics were all cut for racing so we took them off and I have plastics from a 90-up style we are going to use. Also the headlight and taillights were gone so also we will use the 90-up ones. I know I will have to make a bracket to make the headlights fit but everything else looks like it will fit pretty well. The bike frame was blue, with blue & white plastics. I really should have taken a before picture. Anyway I will post up some new pics of what it looks like now.
Hopefully to be finished up in another week. Just waiting for some last parts to come.
I know it is not a Blaster, but at least it is a Yamaha

Looking f*ckin sweet.

 

[Cochise]

Looks good! Except I would ditch that carb and get one of a LTZ/KFX/DVX 400. Also the Raptor 350 Foot pegs are a nice upgrade, they are 2 and a half times the width of the stockers.

Bad ass warrior bro. I have a 2001 im gonna start doin stuff to.

I know its off topic but can we get some pics of that red porcshe in the background?

 

[Ba9801]

Thanks alot guys. I am hoping to have it running this week. As for the pegs I dont think I will really need to worry much as the bike is for my wife and she has small feet.
As for the carb, I will see how it runs and go from there. I was also thinking about running a Mukuni TM flat slide if the VM does not work so well. The front shocks are off a Honda 400ex and gives the bike alot more travel. If you are interested look into Diamond J Customs for a shock conversion kit. I am not sure if it will work with the stock width of your bike though, you may need to do a widening kit or longer A-arms.

As for that Porsche is actually a very old kit car (57 replica). It is built on a VW frame and does have alot of real parts on it. It is in need of a redo as well.
I think my friend is going to sell it.

awesome job on it, my buddy has 1 that isnt half as nice as that lol

 

[dirtbikeboy23]

dude that looked like a lot of work i know that wold of drove me nuts

 

[Ba9801]

I am just about completed, I am only waiting for the push button start and I still have to modify a headlight bracket on it. Hopefully it is running by the weekend.

Shifter Pics - IMS Flightline YZ250
I had to rebend this shifter in my press to allow it to clear the recoil pull starter. Fits perfect now.

 

[Ba9801]

OK Finally some finished pics. It still does not run but at least it is a complete bike now. It looks as though my cdi box is bad so I am waiting for one to come. Then I hope I will finally be able to ride this thing.

 

[hvpunk62]

time to widen the back now hehe =] are u painting front rims to match the rear just wondering looking sweet man raptor 350 plastics bolt right up too if u are interested in buying them

 

[dc5dave]

nice bike man. looks sweet!

 

[Ba9801]

I will be replacing the rear axle & carrier as soon I have some more cash, Also I will replace the front wheels with matching ones. I wanted to make sure the bike ran good first before spending more money on it. I will probably get a Dura Blue Eliminator 2+2 rear axle. I will also probably get a billet double bearing carrier from RAD. I already put on the different offset wheels to help compensate for the wider front suspension. They are 6x3 offset, so that gives me another inch on each side. I also want to get a different front bumper and some steel braided front brake hoses, then I should be all done. AS for the Raptor plastics, I dont think they will bolt right up as the 87-89 frames are different than the 90-04 ones. I had to modify some stuff to make these fit. The headlight assembly is from a 90-04 and I had to weld the headlight bracket assembly to the frame. I got the bracket from a guy with a bent frame, He cut it off for me. Also the hood does not bolt on the same I still need to make a bracket for that. I will finish that up tomorrow morning.
