what quad is more relible? I am looking for both quads and I think I will go with whatever i find a better deal on. which one is faster?

thanks for the help

kept in mostly stock form the warrior motor is very reliable. Aside from some bolts vibrating lose the quad as a whole is very reliable. and once you find the bolts that tend to vibrate lose you learn to check them or loctite them, its no big deal and only takes afew seconds. they can keep up with mostly anything in the trails, and does pretty well in the mud, Ive seen some warriors in water up in the seat area and they came out just fine. I dont know much about the 400 so i cant talk about it.

the 400ex is a lot faster with more possibilty of modification and as, if not more reliable...and much easier to work on should operator error cause something to malfuntion/break

I personally like the warrior, but when stock, the 400ex is faster. with enough money dumped into it, either one would be a super quick machine. i've got my warrior running good enough to beat a mostly stock 400 ex, but i cant beat the guys running the 440 big bore kits on them. i do like the plusher ride of the 400ex, but i like the handling better on the warrior.

warrior is the heater the 400ex only goes 3mph faster both stock and warrior is more reliable lighter and has reverse

it isn't even close the 400ex has almost double the horsepower. The warrior rides like a couch the 400ex rides like a sport quad

well depends on whats done to them stock the warrior just needs the shocks adjusted and its just as good as the 400ex ive got only a dg pipe and an airfiler on mine and i smoke my buddies 400ex were side by side until we both hit fith and he's done but im not sayin i can beat any 450's or anything like that but i say the warrior is better in the long run both stockers the 400ex is better but just a few mods and no 400ex can touch it

cowboy...the only thing that be smoking is you...there is no comparison between a 400ex and a warrior...the ex walks all over the warrior in every way...

case in point...about 3 years ago...i had my 200ex out with a new warrior/raptor 350...it was a month old and the guy had the same mods as i did performance wise...exhaust filter properly jetted...

i was leading the pack down one of the few atv legal roads and was just cruising in 2nd gear as we had some slower utes in the group. up comes the guy on the warrior at full run...i turned to see him coming up beside me...he was about 4 bike lengths behind me and he pointed ahead...a sign to take off and run...he had to have already been in at least 4th or 5th...he never pulled beside me and i when i hit top speed, he was still trying, but losing ground fast...

well im gonna call bs on both you guys as the proud owner of both a 400ex and a warrior and say that both of you need to stop bashing the other quad and try to lay out some helpful information. they are both awesome machines. every opinion is bias here and instead of just putting down other people and their machine, just make your point and leave it at that. there is no need for malicious arguing here.

there are lots of 400's that will eat warriors, just as there are lots of warriors that will eat 400's, that not the dispute. it seems that you each have your own opinion about which one is better. fair enough. whos to say though? so i like the warrior better, so you like the 400 better. give the reason and leave it at that.

ah, and have a good day guys.

tha warrior is a trail atv, and tha 400ex is more track w/ alot more mods to offfer and Ive owned both. But i like my 400ex a lot more than tha warrior. Tha warrior is bulky and harder 2 steer. And a lot of my friends ride warriors sum as old as 89 and they are still running fine. But a lot of them leak oil. It all has 2 do with where and how u ride.

yeah sppedy quad first of all there is no such thing as a 200ex second of all i havent found a 400 that could beat be third of all your lil warrior buddy prolly dosent have a 12-1 piston like i do and he prolly has a lotta hours on it ill post some videos just for you!

Posted by: speedyquad

1st off, the 200ex was a typo that that should have been 2000 ex...the 400 part is a given since that is the subject...and...
2ndly, your warrior is not on a stock motor...so you are comparing your "built" motor(apples) to a stock motor(oranges)...give the 400exs that you are tying the same motor work and see the outcome...lastly...read it again mervin, the warrior was a month old at the most...it was the 2nd or 3rd time out after it's break in...and you said it...lil warrior...

you're still a retard, theres again, no such thing as a 2000 ex either and you still have no idea what you are talking about. its really irritating when little kids get on here and try to act like they know something and want to brag. if you want to do that, fine, but we'd all appreciate it if you'd just stick to helpful advice that is actually true instead of making up stories and pretending you have any idea what the hell you are talking about. most of us here actually own atv's and or know something about them, so dont BS us kid, we arent as dumb and you pretend to not be.

let me explain further since the iq level is low...a 2000 400ex...since we ar e talking about 400exs, i figured i could leave it out...i guess we aren't that smart though...check my profile for my age too...
i bet i have had more macines than you and have been riding longer than you have been alive...i am not going to post pics, there are enough of my 2 bikes together floating around here...

I wouldn't even compare a warror(or raptor 350) to a 400ex it is a 300ex class bike.

I have a 400ex and have spend a lot of time riding a warrior both pretty much stock. The warrior is a great quad. It has a real big fluffy seat and is good to cruise around on. When the speeds start getting up there is where it lacks in handling performance. It is more of a sit back cruising bike. I enjoyed riding it but when we took off on a race I was wishing I was on my 400ex it has a lot more power and works better for aggressive riding. The guy that owns the warrior I was driving also owns a 400ex and agrees with me. The warrior chassis is no match for the 400's for aggressive riding. Im not saying some people can't ride the wheels of them warriors and beat there buddies on 400s but if you have rode both I don't know how anyone could disagree.

i dont care how old you profile says you are, you act like a cocky teenager and it pisses me off, dont insult my iq either, you still dont know what you are talking about.

yeah look at my myspace profile its says im 99 that sure explains a lot the 400ex is a piece of **** i love hondas he11 thats how i got my warrior i traded but the 400ex is smoked by all other 400's STOCK the warrior is no were near the 300ex class aparently youve never ridden one or the other and the 400ex has just recently got reverse? what is that do you even know why honda came out with the 400ex? specificly to compete with the warrior ! o ur name is gay quad means 4 not atv not 4 wheeler just 4 and your gonna talk about people being "not that smart" so before you and your dumb northern go say what u "THINK" is beter key word THINK learn to shut up when u dont know what your talkin bout.
