If 154kmph was the highest the speedo was showing than there is something wrong. My 05 warrior will show 190's all day on the speedo. My old 03 rx-1 got slower and slower every year. If you seeing 154 on radar then it's not asbad, still slow. The frist thing I would look at is your clutches...

I'm sure there was something wrong with the 03. I could barely hit 10K rpms. The 05 will run up around 10800rpms. The road wasn't all ice. There was decent traction with little resistance. How much is the speedo off? 10%? 20%?

I sold my stock 03 Rx-1 during the summer and picked up a 2005 Warrior. I finially got out for a ride yesterday. WOW, what a difference. Usually I'm hurting after the first ride of the year, but I feel great. My Shoulders are a little sore from hanging on. There's no sled engine out there...

All engines make some noise, it's probably normal. But if you hearing a loud distinct ticking you may want to get it checked out. At 2200 miles you shouldn't have any problems. What oil are you using? The clutch on these sleds do rattle. The noise will go away at around 2k rpms. Are you sure...

I think that's about right for the mountain. I don't think your going to see much more than that. 150km/h is 93mph. Your just getting use to it!

You only need to drill four holes to install the brackets. After that the seat can be installed or removed in less than 2 mins. VERY easy.

Just cut, weld, and go. Your not really doing anything other than changing the sound. Maybe a little better air flow, but not enough to justify changing the jets. 4 strokes are forgiving in this area compared to a 2 stroke. I don't see how this would cause any problems. Would a better flowing...

Yes, the two top pipes in the center. I cut as much out as I could. I used a reciprocating saw, and a grinder to smooth the rough edges.

Here's a video I found, I believe this guy is on here. I believe he only removed the center pipes. I did the same to my 03, sounded just like this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCVowFS_chg

In this thread there's a picture of the inside of a stock exhaust. http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php? ... ht=#266501 I removed all the pieces in the center.

Gut the stock exhaust. I did it with my old RX-1 and I'm doing it again with my warrior. Cost me about $20 to get welded. Sounds great, and cheap. More of a deeper sound at idle and low RPMS, screams at WOT.

How did you blow it up??? Come on, tell us.

Thanks Apltx08!!!

Is the suspension the same as the 04's? Can you rebuild the shocks?

I had the same problem. Bought a "short" flap from my dealer. Problem solved!
