- The day the Yamaha Warrior 350 left the Banshees behind. That day it was all about traction and the 22" Spider Tracs were hard to beat in the melting snow and mushy muddy layer over the rocks.

I have a 2002 warrior and it loud asf and it’s spits flames, warriors are great
Nothing like a fire breathing warrior!
Nothing like a fire breathing warrior!
Nothing like a fire breathing warrior!
Same I have a 98 warrior and I leave 450s behind
Warriors are great but slow
I have an 06 banshee but always loved the warrior. The Raptor 350 is just not the same. Yamaha, Bring back the warrior. Best 4 stroke thumper ever.

Warriors have a special place in my heart,look at the link (THE UNFINISHED) she’s a beast👍
czcams.com/video/cSGfdDULfjE/video.html
The warrior and raptor are identical. Different fairings is all. Only difference is swing arm and gearing besides plastics
Didn't they change the carb on the raptor 350? (Never owned one, just 3 warriors)
Love my Warrior!
@@prospenda same I have one but I'm only 11 I've been riding for about 6 years
that terrain is four stroke country
those banshees does pretty good on the snow with the right tires but both of those guys were running track style tires. Normally I am the one struggling to keep up but I was smart and bolted on the winter tires before this trip. we don't get snow here very often and it is usually just in the mountains above us
Ugc1911 nah that is full send 100% pinned 250 two stroke country
Spiders putting in work! I used to run Interco super swampers on my warrior, great pattern very similar.
Wish they still made the spiders. Bear claws are pretty close
Yamaha warriors are my favorite
Cade Carter and probley riding skills lol but then banshees have a lot of torquethey just want to spin
Cade Carter
Mine to
Here’s THE UNFINISHED,You won’t be disappointed
czcams.com/video/cSGfdDULfjE/video.html
the one i ride is crazy i have e white brothers pipe on it its so loud i love it best exhaust ever made but they went out of business
They break too damn often😂 I have a 350 warrior and it seems like every week I have a different problem. I have a Polaris predator and it never has problems, never has problems out of my can am 650 ds neither. Only the warrior.
@@Nobody-jv9lz opposite for me
I had two banshees throughout my years, and can tell you without a doubt the warrior is much more user friendly, and less manual labor compared to banshees.. way more relaxing and enjoyable on tight trails
we have similar warriors. I've got a different rear end. but same tires. this is a badasssss video.
nice man love the spider tracs. I actually have them on my banshee now but they are getting bald. I found another set on craigslist but they are for a 8 inch rim instead of the 9s like my quads all have.
Just got a 2005 Polaris predator 500 and I love it!!👌💯
That’s a clean warrior
Years ago I had a warrior, great machine......ever hear of Maxxis surtraks? I had 3 sets of those. They worked awesome in mud and snow. I enjoyed your video.
I've seen pics of them but never tried them
Looks like an awesome place to ride quads. Beautiful country.
I have a 2000 and a 1990 Yamaha warrior 350s they are both great machines but I want a banshee
Someone spilt shaving foam all over your trails mate.
it was a sloppy melted mess out there!
lololol true true
+TrailBlogger u shpuld have put in 1st gear then in 2 gear. it would have poped a weeley up
sometimes standing on the wheelie bar rocking front to back helped me before i dug in too deep.... 04 warrior
Had a raptor 350 definitely had fun on the quad but traded that for a Lt250r and when i felt two stroke i couldn’t go back to four stroke then after i got a banshee and definitely cant go back lmao
Cameras never do justice when it comes to showing height
Or how slick rock and clay are below melting snow
I had a Raptor 350 with a stage 3 in it. Test Hill at Silver Lake and Choke Cherry at St.Anthonys done.
st anthony looks legendary
good video man as always
I like riding with paddles when the terrain is like that it’s basically impossible to get stuck
i had spider tracs so i crawled along
You should get a Scrambler or a Renegade for this kinda riding! Put like a 6in lift on one of these babies and you are set for ANYTHING!
ViceVersa Musik automatic transmission is not good for hill climb u feel like u have less control over the bike. just in general that is
If you know how to ride it you can take a 350 warrior anywhere you want to because I ride one. I've been up worse stuff then that on mine. There good for hills but I use mine for mud.
Dietoday5 yeah I got 2 I wanna use one for mid and one to keep nice
If I got a sport quad it would be a Warrior. I have a 2008 Grizzly 700 and it is awesome. I also have a 98 suzuki king quad and it's a little tank. I think it would be cool to have a sport quad too. I used to ride dirt bikes as well, had a few good ones.
Worriors are awsome the back lash they have is there carburetoration is very technical along with the inners of the engine...but still I love the worriors I have a few of them.
Dude that warrior Is sick I had one but it was a lot older and didn't have those plastics keep up the good videos and all the work
mine had old black and white plastics, I took them off and put a full set of maier fenders on.
That's sweet I had big mud tires like those on mine I think they were the dirt devils mud/all terrain and it had a filter and exhaust and I put a 7inch led bar on it I sold it and got a new bike recently but they are one of my favorite bikes Are you gonna come up to oregon to go to the dunes this summer or any of the trails
now I can prove my point to my dad that his 4 wheeler is amazing
Sorry to burst your bubble but it's mainly because of the tires and the drivers. Put those tires on a blaster and it will go up the hill as well Warriors ain't that amazing especially compared to a Banshee or Raptor LOL maybe you should go and look at some more comparisons instead of this one. With some bigger tires on that banshee it would have ate the warrior and shitted it out
I have a blue Yamaha 350warrior and they rock

Spider tracs are a force to be rekond with. We use to run them on our 200xs and they would goooooooooooo buddddyyyyyyyy
I was trying to remember the name of those. Spider tracks. Had them on my lt250 . They really where great tires. Mud or hard pack they did great.
I'm sure I missed it somewhere, but where are you guys riding?
This is in northern California at a park called Shasta Chappie OHV Area
Simple torque band comparison. I banshee needs the revs for it to bite on soft deep pack trails. The warrior do to being a 4 stroke has lots of low end torque so it has a better chance of digging through soft worn trails
it was really all about traction. I have seen both of these guys ride right up stuff I would not even attempt on my craziest days. I cheated and was there the day before, I laced up my half paddles (spider tracs) and was the only one that day that had a half decent tire. I almost thought the polaris guys were going to make it at first but they were just too heavy and then the one guy threw a tire off the bead and they were done.
I have a dg exhaust on my warrior and if I was revving it that much all day I would be deaf lmao😂😂
I had the DG megaphone on my old warrior I know what you mean :-D
+TrailBlogger heck yeah dude! Great vid btw. Imma start uploading soon!
tires and sprockets have alot to do with it as well
I'm 51 y/o, and had my 99 Warrior 20 years now!!! Still ride with my 16-25 year old sons all the time, with his 09 450r, my Polaris 4x4, Raptor, and Yamaha Breeze too ( If wanna check my vids out ) !!! But I'd loveeee to crank my Warrior up that snow hill !!! Love the Banshee's... But B (broke) A (again) N (never) S (showing) H (how) E (every) E (event) !!! 😂😂🤣🤣... Good try tho, But AGAIN, Me on my 99 Warrior would have walked up that snow covered hill !!! L.L.T.W. ------ Long Love the Warrior...!!! 😁😁😂😂🤣🤣😍😍😊😊😉😉
Warriors are a great bike.
cool video, ive heard good things about spider traks, but ive found 6-ply tires to be too stiff in the snow. 22'' ChengShin 2-ply knobbies were an excellent snow & sand tire on my 400 EX. they punctured easily, but if u carried a plug kit, they were a kickass tire to run in the winter. maybe ill try spider-traks next time? awesome trails you guys got!
I can't find those spider tracs anymore. Closest I have found was the Kenda Bear Claws. If you do find a place who actually sells Spider Tracs then please give me a heads up. The rears are 22" x 12 - 9s I can't run 2 ply tires here because there are a lot of areas where we have to cover rocks and sticks just to get the to snow. The snow is usually at the top of the mountain or on the backside in the passes. I do try and carry a plug kit but forget a lot. thanks for watching!
Check out the ITP Holeshot HD (if they still make them...I've been out of the ATV scene for a few years). I had those tires on my modded Raptor 700R-SE and they were fricken amazing! I rode the Hatfield/McCoy trails with a group of 4x4's (I was the only sport quad) and kept right up with them without trouble. I chose the HD's because they were 6-ply, as I rode in the woods a lot (rocks, tree stumps, and sticks)
Kyle M I have the ITP Holeshot HD on my 450 and they have lasted a long time but they don't seem to grip as good as the ITP Holeshot GNCC tires I have on the Banshee. The Bear Claws are a totally different type of tire though, more of a mud and snow. The Holeshots do handle a lot better on the rocks.
love the video I have a yamaha warrior 350 too but I had my 1st sorta crash. was riding with my cousin and he stopped and I rammed into the back of him destroying the backlight
Do you guys know that they actually make 4 wheel drive bikes nowadays? We use them all the time now down here in Louisiana. They really work, especially Hondas and Kawasakis.
"You'll be fine.".... "His rim and tire are screwed." Lol
:-D I was just trying to cheer them up a little but yeah, unless they had a helicopter that rim and tire were toast, brand new looking too.
+TrailBlogger lol yeah, I just thought it was so funny. That always puts a bummer on any ride. I also have an 87 warrior, leaking oil out of the head, but runs great!
time for a rebuild!
+TrailBlogger yeahhh sucky thing is, we just spent a couple months rebuilding it because it was smoking so much. With the money we put into it, we could've bought 5 of them
Banshee not great in super loose terrain - unless you have paddle tires.
Awesome warrior, I'd like to find one and a blaster. Two classic Yamaha quads.
Chris Brewer
Like warriors?if and when you get one and need a hand,give a yell👍👍
Here’s my beastie THE UNFINISHED you’ll enjoy. Custom all the way

Get a blaster they’re awesome to work on!
Had a 07 raptor 350 se2 with mods and ran 22x12x9 bearclaws it went places my 800 renegade struggled in (2wd) lol
bear claws are great. we have those on our raptor 700 now, this was quite a few years ago lol. I posted the footage in 2016 but I think this was actually from back in 2013. I got my bear claws shortly after that when the spider tracs started to go bald and I found they were no longer available anywhere.
TrailBlogger I have a few vids of my raptor on my channel. Check em out
I just bought a 1999 warrior and it doesnt have a bottom chain roller on it....is this going to be a problem or nah
i would put one on it, helps keep the chain from jumping around and they are fairly cheap. recommend the sealed roller bearing style
Dude this is chappie i love chappie me and my dada go here all the time😱😱😱😱😱
yes we love chappie, one of the best places to ride. a little rocky but still fun.
I can't believe those Polaris trail boss 325's made it that far up my dad has a Polaris trail boss 325 with a Polaris Indy 400 twin snowmobile engine we have a Yamaha raptor 660 with a Yamaha Vmax 600 twin snowmobile engine and my Suzuki Quadrunner the Polaris trail boss Indy 400 is a lot like a banshee wicked our Yamaha raptor Smokes Can am renegade 1000's all day
i bet they would have made it if they got a better run and went full ham on the throttle all the way up
@@trailblogger probably what tires are you running
in this video i had the famous spider tracs
this reminds me of me and my cousins one of my cousins had a Yamaha warrior 350 the other one had a Yamaha blaster 200 and I always beat them on my Honda 200s three wheeler and they hated it
I loved the 350X, awesome 3 wheeler.
I got a 1987 worrior and I ride it all the time, im only 13
awesome!
Love my warrior
what year?
+TrailBlogger 2003, got it about a month ago, made custom engine mounts and air box spacers because it kept ripping intake boots, runs perfect now
+Tyler Davis take that back just got back from a ride, and my intake boots has another crack in it.
Tyler Davis ahh bummer, well get it fixed up. dont want to run it with an air leak, good way to burn a good motor up. at least you were on top of it and found it right away.
+TrailBlogger yeah, i didn't realize it till I pulled it out of my truck and felt it shoot out air, it sucks but oh well, you got to pay to play lol
Just a curious question, would you benefit from running sand paddle tires on the Shees to help in that type of terrain? I realize they would get ruined on anything harder than melted snow / Dirt.
sometimes we will paddle up for snow but if we have to cross the rocks first like you said it tears them up. I run a tire called Spider Tracs which are a mud and snow tire (probably the only reason I made it and they did not). Kenda Bear Claws are also good.
TrailBlogger Ok gotcha. I only ride the sand dunes. (Banshees) I dont even own knobbs. haha. I also dont have a place like this to ride. Its absolutely gorgeous where you are. The grass is ways greener right.. haha
xxINTOXIFADEDxx actually in the summer the grass is pretty darn brown here hahaha it get's like 110 F in the summer. Love riding the sand but it is 6 hours away from here for us so that is a once or twice a year kind of thing. most of the time the nobs stay on, and we rarely get snow here either it was kind of a cold year that year this video was recorded.
The Warrior 350 is obviously just a better quad XD
Especially the 360cc
Yeah if you like slow and crappy handling. At least the Banshee is fast with crappy handling.

It sucks my warrior won't get fire.nice video looks like fun
Coil?
@@trailblogger I've done replaced the coil cdi box and magneto
@@montaerobbins2229 when you replaced the stator did you make sure to leave a tiny gap between it and the pickup? Yamaha parts?
ok thank you thats exactly what i was wanting to know thanks for your help
You were trying to get his advice? My advice is better use sand paddles and don't slip the wheels
Yeah good job
sand paddles? In the middle of the mountains? Do you even realize you have to cross 3-4 miles of rugged rocky trails to even get to this spot? You would destroy a set of paddles before you even reached the hill. If you look you can see I am running Spider Tracs, which are a kind of a half paddle 6 ply tire specifically for mud and snow. You might also notice I am the only one out of 5 ATVs to make it to the top? Where is your hill climb video there champ?
I love my warrior
I'm thinking how ?? Then I see snow and remember how my quad racer would hit it's power and just spin the tires too fain fast. Like it had tiny bald tires. Miss my 2 stroke but not in the snow
keithcerce got em with the spider tracs. I was there the day before and didnt get any further even on the warrior with my regular tires
TrailBlogger still watching. Had too pause a few minutes
some old tires called mud claws are some great tires.
I run Kenda Bear Claws they are great tires.
What kind of plastics are thos??
Maier fenders
Whenever ur climbing a hill always lean forward
Not on a 2wd with limited traction. Then you hang your ass off the back to put the weight over the drive wheels
where did you get thoes plastics
What gas do you put in it 93?
premium pump gas but it is only 91 octane here in california :-/
Bro u gotta give that shit some gas if u want it to go
Where was this at? Looks like the Little Belt Mountains in Montana.
cyc25ruffneck this is northern California
What bars are on the warrior?
Doesn't warriors have reverse ?
Yes
What year is that warrior?
What plastics are those?
Maier warrior fenders
Is this in northern California? Looks like the place where I go in Alta
Robert Boone. This is up by lake Shasta in norcal yes
Why do you let go of the gas every time you're about to hit the snow? You need that momentum that's why it's so difficult for your four wheeler
what do you mean, i rode right up it
@@trailblogger just watch the video and every time you're about to hit a patch of snow you let off the gas then give it gas when you're in it. And the only reason why the other guys couldn't go up is because of their crappy tires there's no way in heck a 350 Warrior is on the level of a banshee or a Raptor tires make a big difference. You practically pushed it up that spot where everybody was getting stuck the rest of the guys didn't they would turn around and try it again that's the only reason why you made it up so your title is pretty much a lie
lol ok man sure
Was he in 2nd gear the whole time?
No he went down to first like the 1st time he stopped
You would get more traction if you let some air out if the tires
they were just bald lol
Looks like fun
Perdona una pregunta por qué montas esas cubiertas traseras ,parecen muy grandes y poco tacos además da la sensación de que debe rebotar mucho ,buen vídeo
The tires are for snow and mud. Did you notice I was the only one who made it to the top of the hill? The taller tires provide better traction and clearance. I have smaller tires that I use in the Summer. Thanks for watching.
Los neumáticos son para nieve y barro. ¿Se dio cuenta de que yo era el único que llegó a la cima de la colina? Los neumáticos más altos proporcionan una mejor tracción y despeje. Tengo neumáticos más pequeños que yo uso en el verano. Gracias por ver.
TrailBlogger era por curiosidad por que en el banshee verde y el raptor 700 también las montas yo nunca e pilotado en esas condiciones tiene que ser diferente .antes tenia el kfx 450 .y un trx 450 pero aora no tengo quiero comprar el yfz 450 nuevo o el 700 yfm nuevo nose cual .gracias por responder y aparte traducir 😂😂🖒
the 450 is lighter and more maneuverable. the 700 is a heavy tank but massive horsepower. they are both great machines.

You need to get paddle tires for all of them and then you will not get stuck
Nice video, i'd love to get my 'R' on those trails.
We have an R but I need to go through it, do a little work on her. Has not been ridden in many many years. Front fork seals are blown and there are no rear brakes currently
Cool. Worth fixing up. Hope to see it out there someday.
Them guys look like they know how to ride. Set'em up with the proper tires 2nd gear balls to the wall he'll get her up there
They are both more experienced riders than me, I just had the better tires that day.
the Warriors are only 2wd right?? or nah? I'm looking to get a new quad and I'm doing research
yes the warrior is a 2wd, Yamaha also made a Wolverine 350 which is really similar but 4x4
Andrew Hall I have seen guys with some pretty bad ass yamaha wolverines, you can chop the front driveline and then install a Warn locker kit so you have on the fly 4x4. rest of the time you run around in 2wd. would be a great trail quad if you ask me, especially with a set of good shocks to smooth out the ride.
skankhunt fourtytwo its only 2wd
a Yamaha wolverine would have hauled ass up the hill
i should bring my honda 450ex out there with yall and have a good time
banisher 2.0 preach. Honda ftw
What trails are those
This is the Shasta Chappie OHV Area near Lake Shasta in Northern California. Trails are open to the public, you just need a registered ATV to ride there.
what size and brand rear tires? I want big tires on my raptor. mostly trails and sand in ocotillo wells. scared of hitting things underneath
they are 22" spider trac tires. not longer made. Checkout kenda bear claws
thinkin about getting a banshee 350 or a yfz450 witch one trailblogger shout i get
All depends on which one you like more! I would go sit on each of them first and buy the one you can't live without.
it was those tires
What’s the front plastic?
maier fenders. i think i like OEM more though...
How do you guys compensate for the elevation difference without running to rich or to lean? Or is it not that much of a difference?
it does make a difference, the quads run a little rougher at higher elevations. We just go for it and hope for the best. With the banshee I keep two spare plugs under my seat in case I foul them.
+TrailBlogger oh ok cool man yea I've never experienced anything like that i ride on the flat desert with the occasional hill climb, good to know tho!
ok thanks. how do you like it power and suspension and reliability wise im thinking about getting one instead of my 250
its a good trail machine, not going to win any drag races on it but they are a good solid reliable trail machine that will climb just about anything you are brave enough to try and will run almost all day long on a single tank of gas. The 88s and 89s were great because they have a pull rope start for backup just in case the battery goes dead or something shorts out. Nice to have both electrical and pull rope start when you are going way out in the woods. They are also pretty small and light so easy to roll start or drag back on the trail if you do wreck it.
TrailBlogger where in Cali
Where did u get those plastics for that warrior?
Maier
@@trailblogger thanks
Man it would be awesome to ride up there someday. Im in Central California
If you ever want info on the spots here just give me a shout I will line you out to the spots I ride.
+TrailBlogger Yeah man that would be awesome! Hopefully sometime in the near future I can make it up there. Looks fun! Where in California is your favorite place to ride?
***** probably wildwood up by platina.
+TrailBlogger man im jealous. The closest place to ride near me is pismo and its like 2 1/1 hours away. Or California city which is like 2 1/2 to 3 hours away
***** when I recorded this video that trail was only about 10 minutes from my house, now I live more like about 20-30 minutes away. TONS more riding up here but they have closed a lot of the closer spots I used to ride like the along the river where they paved the trail to make way for the pedal bikes and pedestrians.
Whey do you pull the atv backeweds
to get another running shot at it. I don't have 4 wheel drive so you gotta make a run at it
Was this seriously in july? It gets so hot here
no this was in december a few years back, I reposted the footage without music due to popular demand lol
where is this trail located??
MT Durant 35 o northern California
what kind of pipe is on that warrior
White Bros pipe on the warrior
i find that the warrior is better on trails than the banshee. i have a lightly modded banshee but sometimes you need bottom end torque...and rarely do you get to go 70mph on a trail
exactly! one reason I haven't gone to crazy on the engine mods for the Banshee, she is already pretty scary out there on those cliffside trails as is.
+TrailBlogger yj

87-88 are wider than the banshee.
what year is that warrior 350
2001 with Maier custom fenders on it
Atv guys get what many enduro riders don’t, if u cant make it start from the bottom
I had a handful of dirt bikes before this, dozen or so. We would ride up into the deep snow every year, but all the good spots would be 3 to 4 feet deep above the waist, and the bikes would ultimately just sink. The sport quads are light enough to kind of skim the surface if the conditions are just right and not too soupy. This day, they were pretty soupy, but with the 22" spider trac tires, I was able to squeeze by this sloppy steep section. It is dangerous, though, as you can get yourself in trouble if you lose momentum and sink in a deep spot.
@@trailblogger it’s funny you mention skimming on the top and being able to ride that’s the entire reason I googled warrior 350 in snow. Late in the year certain snowmobile trails are so hard packed around here im thinking I could screw around on them a little.
10:35 in the video…my dirtbike spider sense is tingling. Are you in arnold California by any chance? In the trail system behind the neighborhood of rlly nice cabins?
@Mud Creek Photography this is in Shasta County up on the side of Copley Mountain

What part of Oregon are you in? in the video
this is actually northern california
for that you almost need paddles thats some sloppy mess
My spider claws went right up it! Lol
@@trailblogger i love my warrior the only thing is i grip to much in the dunes because my paddles are to aggressive for how heavy it is but i aint got that money for paddles so i deal lol, still super fun though
Do you have yfz plastics on the warrior?
They are the custom Maier fenders that look like YFZ fenders.
+TrailBlogger Nice
So why a sport ATV over a 4X4? I mean you have that clutch system which I don't really see a point to (unless that shifts faster then a regular foot shift). You have to worry about the exposed chain and sprockets, and you only have 2WD. Plus it seems like these bikes are easy to stall.
From what I see I'd rather a Foretrax/Foreman or Kodiak/Grizzly any day of the week.
Really does these quads have any use at all outside competitive racing?
because 90% of the time we arent in snow and the extra 4x4 drivelines and gearing are just dead weight slowing you down. if you watch most of my videos they are on dirt and rocks or sand. occasionally in the winter we have to cross snowy peaks but rarely are all of the trails covered in deep snow unless you head out of town to the higher elevations. the chain allows for more play in the suspension without having to have a heavy driveline system with a U joint that can go out on you. also its a hell of a lot quicker and easier to throw a new chain on (one clip) than bolt a new driveline in. all that being said I do want a Yamaha Grizzly 700 4x4 to add to my fleet, they are fun too just prefer my sport quads is all.
The clutch is for power launching and for shifting under power without having to let off the gas. If you have ever driven a car with a stick shift and revved the motor then dropped the clutch and done a burn out you could see how this would apply to power launching on a hill or off the line during a race.
If you have never heard of outdoor GNCC racing I invite you to google Bill Balance. There is a reason that Yamaha made a Bill Balance edition YFZ450 sport ATV :-)
That's cool. I don't care for racing myself and there isn't many areas around me where you can really get to speed anyway, unless you risk racing down the road. A lot of trails up here are forest type trails, mashes and at winter a lot of snow.
Coming to shaft bikes I rarely see anything go wrong with those drivelines. I guess if your really, really beating the shit of the bike then yea, but in general your more likely to have the engine go before the drive system.
I guess different bikes suits different needs. If your goal is going fast I understand having a race bike. But I meant more just in general, for a all needs machine a Grizzly type machine seems to be the way to go.
fyi: This was the first video I've sen from you as well.
+Justin Lynch (crazyman832) I grew up riding ranch style 4x4 quads. my dad had a big bear 350 i used to crash around on. in general the suspensions are stiffer and the quads are heavier. the big benefit I see in them is the 4x4 for snow and also the rack for carrying more gear or supplies. a spot quad is a lot lighter and more fun to ride in my opinion, even if it is not a very fast model like the warrior 350. it's a lot easier to drag a warrior out of a ditch or flip it back over after a wreck than a 4x4 type quad. oh and if you notice the 2 Polaris 4x4s in this video did not make it up while my little 2wd warrior did :-)
Hahahaha sick video bro lol
