Will This Really Work? Fixing The Yamaha Warrior 350cc Quad (Engine Knocking Fix) 

What quad should I race with this Yamaha Warrior? Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE the video if you enjoyed! It really helps me out a lot! Check out my Instagram: 2_vintage_ Thank you for all the support!

I have one and it is a beast on the trails! It's got torque, reverse, electric start, the 1st gear is perfect, and I love it. They're awesome quads.

Nothing better than smoking a blunt and watching some 2 vintage lol

If ever a one way bearing is out you can always replace just replace the sprag to save a little money. Keep up the great content. I’ve been learning a lot from you.

Never change 2vintage. Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for all your time and effort to show us man. It’s a big help for the atv community!!!

I have the same quad an in the process of my first rebuild on a four stroke myself thanks for going in the engine at just the right time

I picked up a warrior a couple months back I only got to ride it once now it won’t start I’m glad I found your channel.

I want one of these! I have a blaster now that im fixing up. I hope this is a great upgrade

Engine looks nice inside (besides for the shredded bit). Enjoy watching you master mechanics

I love your vids man. The sound when you start the machine is from the clutch of the starter

Dude you make fixing bikes look so easy

I had a 99 warrior for a couple years that I spent quality time with in the garage and on the trail! I might get another some day. I liked it but I needed a 4x4 so a kodiak it is!

The Honda 350 sure looks good sitting in that garage. You should do a some more riding footage on that old Honda. Also, you should look for an old Suzuki 230 quad sport. Those were fun little machines back in the day.

I don’t comment much on videos but your stuff is pretty good. I like how thorough you are explaining stuff. I have 2 dirtbikes and 2 atv’s so im always tinkering.. Do you keep most of these bikes or sell them when your done?

Making me consider one of these for a trail machine. Nice work.

Nice. You could black tape a extra wire running along the outside of the wiring harness for the neutral safety light. Just by pass what is there. Starter is weak like you said. Works good enough though.

I just bought one of these. I got a 400ex I was told this is faster than the ex or my blaster. I don't have the 350 running yet waiting for a cab in the mail I already replaced the starter clutch. You should use copper coat spray on all your gaskets that stuff is amazing

Love that you mention the prices of tools you buy

You should check and make sure it has good oil pressure, that chewed up plastic would easily clog and ruin the oil pump if there was anything small enough to get to it

for the neutral and reverse lights i replaced the bulbs and i replaced the cdi as well and that worked for me

I love warriors there nice quads, awesome video man should do a race between the warrior vs. 400ex

Hey, I love your vids! You do great work! Keep it up!!

(sorry for my bad english) hi @ 2vintage I think it's a bit late for this question, hope you can help me, I have a warrior 350, and 3-4 years ago it stopped working when it reached a high temperature, unfortunately a bad mechanic replaced the original CDI for a generic one, forcing him to change the position and length of the metal strip on the flywheel, then my dad saw that the original CDI was great and the real problem was the "" main coil "" or the stator I bought a new one, installed it, everything great except the metal strip on the flywheel so we tried to fix the timing and make it stock but it was impossible, we changed a lot of things, even a very good Mechanic who prepares cars for racing and repairs quads tried to repair it, clearly he could and the warrior ran perfectly, even better because he left it a little bit too much advanced (spicy but problematic), and now, after another 3 years, the warrior has the same problem, he cannot start. easily due to **counterfires*? (like trying to start in reverse) so I don't know if you can find a photo of the original flywheel, or any help because I really like that warrior and I don't want to give up. From already thank you very much Happy 2022

I like the yamabond idea on the head gasket to help hold it in place some don't use it that way but I will now Thanks

it sounds great ive owned a couple of these they were pretty reliable a little under powered but fun trail quad

I love this channel been here for a while i watch all ur videos

Good job fixing it up but I think the head is kinda wore out I’ve had warriors and they don’t tick that loud, keep it up buddy!

Do u have videos on replacing brake shoes on a LT 250 .2000 suzuki quad?more so fitting the drum back on

Fantastic job thank you 🙏 how many people you have inspired to do just the same as.....👌🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Looks good, does your brake light work?

that slight tick sounds like the header needs to be snugged up to the head or its exhaust gasket is wore out. as always nice job and keep on wrenching

Where do you search/get the needed components? Like how do you know what the correct OEM part to order is and where do you mostly order? Or how to know for example that de wistec timing chain is the same as an OEM? Thanks!

Great videos bro. Hope I see more on the yfz450. 🤙

Did u check the nutral bulb?

Always buy the best tools you can afford! My dad’s advice from my younger years

Hey man that neutral light went out on me too ...its an easy fix....on side of transmission, left side when sitting on it, there is a green wire,take it off the post and clean that post up...mine was all white with scaling,anyway an easy fix for that neutral light.

When you time it does it need to be at TDC on the compression stroke since it's a 4stroke? If so how do you makes sure it's on compression stroke, check for valve play? I've seen 5+ videos and all have just lined up the T and then the mark on the sprocket with no other explanation. Thanks!

That's identical to my parts bike colors and all. Still has good motor in it. Parts o plenty.

I have the exacted same 4-wheeler as you, but i need help to change out the rear breaks and the brake line

The slight ticking that you’re hearing might have to with the starter. I have an old sportsman that I did the starter on when it quit and right before it quit i was getting a super weird ticking like grinding type of deal a lot like what the warrior sounds like.

any advice for a guy wanting to start flipping bikes and atv's in todays market? Ive watched your video from over 2 years ago where u did exactly that...but in my area..anything under a thousand is absolutely junk, incomplete missing several parts, not running, torn apart, etc..etc. It's disconcerting when I find what appears to be a decent atv..for a decent price...but has been up for sale for sometimes months on end. Is there any updated advice you could give for todays volatile buying/selling market?

How did you put the timing chain on for som reason mine is like off even if i try to pry it

I know this is irrelevant but I have a question. I own a 1993 kx125 and when I bought it it had some clutch damage. I replaced all the damaged parts but still am having trouble. My first question is that I was wondering if the spec 6.5 foot lbs of torque that is supposed to be applied to the clutch bolts is supposed to be met before the springs are fully compressed therefore creating enough resistance to torque them down and if so any suggestions on why my clutch won't work? Sorry for the irrelevance, just trying to save money and figure it out myself.

Run a good clean brake in and do an oil change great job!.

What are you doing with that antique grease gun. Milwaukee m12 grease gun is what you need Joe

Chain doesn’t physically stretch the rollers in the links lose diameter giving you a loose chain. That’s why the sprocket wears also because of the rollers in the chain

Thise warriors all have a tick to them its dont matter if uts brandnew they still tick !!! Also the Yamaha warrior is dang near bullet proof they run forever !!! Keep up the content

Hey could you help me I have a warrior it won’t start at all unless you pull it but we put a new starter and relay in it if you could give me ideas how to fix it I would appreciate it

Hey i took of my stator clutch and for some reason the back gear behind the stator clutch won’t come out? Do u think I need a new stator clutch

Do you know if the warrior 350 and raptor 350 engines are the same cause i have a raptor with a seized engine and the parts are way more than the warrior engine will it work?

A good 400ex or good warrior does not tick the tick is harmless usually just camshaft and rockers

My parts warrior out back is the exact same bike right down to colors.

Did you hone the cylinder or just put it back on?

Do you still have the customised banshee can you read customised banshee with the warrior

I have a 94 warrior that will only run for 30 seconds on half or full chock and shut off, but will start right back up. It runs bad when up rev it up. I has a new carburetor, you have any ideas?

Καλό απόγευμα από Ελλάδα Πελοπόννησο Αίγιο Αχαΐας Αιγιαλείας , Good evening from Greece peloponnese island town Aegio great content quality of video and sound thank you for the information, entertainment and guides some times fun and learning about bikes, motorcycles and rare models of motors, engines .

Almost at 200k subs let’s gooooo!!!

I would have painted that pipe before putting back on, but great job!

Your idea of not too bad is wow really bad, most of the time you say it's not too bad??? But whether it's a car or a bike I think if you're going to change the chain change the gear as well. On camera that timing gear looked pretty Roach. Anyway I know you can do it Joe you always do usually. It's hard to tell what you're getting one it's on the inside that is for sure. Thanks for the videos Man I'm actually learning more about bikes never knew whole lot about him except for the basics but you know how it goes when you're able to share them down you can usually fix them. When it comes to Auto engines that's another story though I'm okay with all of that it's just bikes are a little more complex. I actually own an 82 650 GS G that is pretty much in mint condition, the only thing that I hate about that bike is not that it has a drive shaft and you can't gear it up or down with changing sprockets but the fact that it only has a 5-speed transmission. The selector though on the speedometer Tech shows that there is a 6-speed so they use them in other bikes as well what a shame one extra gear would have been marvelous on that bike.

enjoyed the teardown

wow great video my friend!

All Warriors do have a small tick but that bike doesn’t sound good. Is it the exhaust?

I have owned a lot of warriors over the years and some ticked and some did not. The ticking in your video is definitely not normal though. Your timing chain tensioner is probably bad or not set properly.

i can confirm with my 95 warrior that it has that tick.

never thought i’d see the day you bought a tube of yamabond😀

from my experience those gaskets sets are not very great i usually go with oem if i can

Excellent job, now you can flip this thing and make some $$$!!

U may have an exhaust leak. There’s that copper washer that they put in. That’s what it really sounds like

I try to be fair as I can but this channel was the final straw. I installed an ad blocker because enough is enough.

Great repair👍👍👍

AMAH is actually a pretty cool name for it

Miss my 2001 identical colors etc. wish I’d never sold it. If you ever wanna get rid of it lmk.

Do you like 2 strokes or 4 strokes more

Don't take the wiring harness apart for the neutral light...just run new wires for it and zip tie it along the old harness...lol

would you ever consider getting a kx500 or cr500?

Bro what happened to the customised banshee

Good job buddy

Yamaha Warrior 350 vs honda trx 400 ex vs honda trx 250 . Race them 🔥🔥💪

The starter sounds like a powerwheels

30:20 is it bad starter bearing ?

Good job!!!

My best warrior, my wife laid claim to it, its got an fmf powercore 4 exhaust on it.

Luv ur vids!!!!💯💯💯💯

I think I will try to get an old four wheeler like these so if I screw up it’s cheap

Good job👍

Definitely needs that one way bearing trying to turn it by hand is not the same as trying to spin crank against compression. Not trolling man just hate for you to buy starter and it not fix problem

Hey bro please help me🙏🏿please make a short video on how the reverse switch works🙏🏿🙏🏿😭

Nice job, change the starter it’s bad

Still got mine since 1996

wasn't the stator bad? also if I remember right from the last video the bolts came out and damaged the stator pretty badly or wait I might be thinking of another quad that had the damage. never mind lol it was a different one that had the stator problem

i have a 1987 yamaha warrior 350 and it has no spark, only when you let of the start switch. but replaced the start switch, spark plug, stator, cdi coil. but still no full spark. what could it be

That thing sounds like it’s half dead lol I’m restoring a warrior at the moment on my 3rd one

Number 1

Awesome!

I believe I have an 89 that I need to rebuild

I know there is a accrlator pump issue with these.

U need 2 get u a sand blaster.

Do you still have the customised banshee can you race the customised banshee with the warrior

Sounds like the starter is going out.. Why is it hard to turn over..
