Rear shock replacement options 04 Warrior

[Silver]

What has everyone else done when there nonrebuildable shock went bad. Will the shocks from a Viper work or any of the other RX-1's for that matter.Thanks

I was blessed to find a ty member getting rid of an ohlins for a warrior. What a difference that shock made in performance! The spring rate is much more progressive throughout travel and it is stiff enough to take "reasonable" trail ruts. I would have spent the money for a new one if I had known the change was that significant much earlier.

warrior shock

I bought a KYB alum shock from pioneer performance for my warrior and have run it 3 yrs. It works great and they will set it up for your weight and riding style when you buy it. Any long travel shock for a yami will work. The warrior shock is slightly longer but you will not notice any difference.

The 04 RX-1 shock will work in the 04 Warrior. However, the RX-1 shock does not have the Compression adjustment. I think the earlier Viper shocks are the same as the RX-1. Probably, the 03 RX-1 shock would fit also. But, when you find one out there, give Bruce a call at Pioneer Performance. He was willing to talk to me about all the possibilities. If this Warrior shock I have now goes bad, I am going to pick up one of Pioneer Performance's replacements. It is cheaper than the OEM, it comes set up for your weight and it is rebuildable.
