The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

Hey All,

So here's the deal...  I have no expertise with the Warrior; I just bought mine about 3 weeks ago. I don't have any deep questions to ask, mine's running just fine. But nothing's had me as jazzed as this thing! I just find myself wanting to hang and bench race with other Warrior enthusiasts.

So with nothing to really contribute, I pound out this post, wondering what it is about this bike that's got me so hooked. And also, am I the only one, or are there others lurking on these boards who really have better things to be doing, but can't get their Warrior off their minds?

Peace out,

Steve

I think you hit the nail on the head - Had mine sine 03 and i still catch myself looking at it like it was the first i seen it.  And i know I'm not the only one - mine caught plent of looks and pics at the rally toight

+1. my warrior/speed addiction just hit me up for 3grand in mods. i hadnt even gotten it back together and i am already thinking of ways to get money to get more. by the way anyone want to buy a wife or trade for a turbo..

Me thinks we are going to need some pics of the wife first!

Wait for it...its gonna get better.

I love when I walk out of a store, head down texting and walk by a bike. I notice it in my peripheral and check it real quick. Look back at my phone then damn near break my neck thinking "that was a nice bike" as i glance back. Then you realize, THATS MY BIKE!

Love that!

I bought mine all black with lots of chrome and not a name badge on her and people always have to ask what it is, usally because their H-D looks kinda pee-u-knee  next to the awesome Warrior. I love it. sometimes I just sit in the garage and star at it,(i disappear alot)   

Hello, my name is Ed and I'm a Warrioraholic. Actually I have been addicted to many things, the last thing I kicked was Red Bull. When I first got the bike I told myself "I aint gonna dump a bunch of money on mods, I like it the way it is" That didnt last long. Maybe someday I will quit modding but I dont think I will ever be able to quit admiring the bike. Im going to the garage right now to check it out.

I set up a "smoking section" in my garage, so I can sit in there and look at my Warrior, while I  relax with a cigar.    Yes, I am a Warrioraholic.                                                            And can anybody say "Yager Bomb"  . Sorry antitech, I'm not off of the red bull yet.

I know the feeling. I have had my 02 since 03 and have pretty much held off the mod bug until this winter. Mine is sitting in my garage without a tank, so all I can do is look at it and think of more stuff to add to next winters mod list. It's driving me nuts! More so than I allready was. LOL Just like a kid with a new toy.

Ive had mine for over a year now and every day without fail i find myself daydreaming about riding it at work. When im at home i go out to the garage every hour or so to have a smoke and scrutinize every inch of it; walk around it to find the perfect viewing angle (for me its if you stand directly beind the bike, then move to your right about 2 and a half feet and back 1 ft. then crouch down and behold the glory that is bub jugghuggers.)  I could honestly say i think about my warrior more than i do about women.. maybe thats sad.. i dont care. I hope my obsession with this beast never dies.

I've had my Warrior for 4 years and done a bunch of mods and still more to come. I can't think of any other bike I would want to replace it with. It's too darn good.

I had to let my one go and I miss it! 

Next time I will make an even better job of trying to turn it into my dream bike

Well, great...

I'm not alone.

 So the mod obsession issue came up ... while I was busy installing my NEW PCIII USB! And new K&N's

What a great mod. The previous owner was supposedly told that the Bub Jughuggers would be fine without it. Did it run? Yea. But with a lot of backfiring, and a hollow exhaust note that sounded more like a rod knock than anything. However nutZ I was about the bike before is nothin' compared to now! What a difference. And that's just with the downloaded map. A complete dyno tune and I might just move into the garage full time.

Well, great...

I'm not alone.

 

It's not getting any better...

My garage, oh baby. I used to feel this way ... a little ... with my sport bike. But now I walk into my garage and there sits:

RF900r Suzuki
Wife's S50 Suzuki
Daughter's KT100/Arrow Kart
My 125/Tony Shifter Kart
93 300ZXTT 485HP track prepared two seater ...

and all I can look at is the Warrior. I tried to start the Z and the battery was dead! What is it with these things? I'm thinking of having it painted the color of crack cocaine.

Peace out,

Steve
