Have any of you guys gone in for the 16k service? Looks like I can do most myself. Just not comfy doing the valve adjustment or repacking bearings. Actually, repacking the bearings sounds strange to me. Never had a problem with stearing or the pivot joint. Just wondering if its worth the cost...not even sure what that is just what folks have posted on here.
What do you think?
Coming from many years of dirt biking, bearing re-packing and packing is vital to ensure a long life of trouble free riding. While you have not had any issues up to this point, it is recommended to get the old grease out and get some fresh grease in. I am sure there are many people out there who will brag about X miles and they haven't repacked their bearings - but why take the chance?
Not sure on the valves, but after working on a new 450cc 4-stroke motocross bike (55+ hp), I am guessing the Warrior will be a walk in the part considering the valve train is from the 1950's LOL!!
My bike has got 15K miles on it now, so I was just looking in my service manual to see what I should be doing. After our trip to Utah, my steering stem is feeling looser than I would like so I am sure I will be tearing off the front end, changing the fork fluid and repacking my bearings... soon (which will probably turn into this winter)...
Or I will just sell the Warrior and pick up a ZX14 so I can beat Mike at the dragstrip by sandbagging in the 12.5 second bracket muhahaha!

Remember that government spends money only by taking that money out of the private economy. Put another way, when government taxes a dollar to “create” a job, it has taken a dollar out of the private economy that is no longer available to the private economy.
