I love my 2003 Warrior, however, I have had numerous problems since I bought it used. The main problem has been with the starter. It makes a grinding sound occasionaly and I have to roll it in gear and pop the clutch. Then I am able to start it without the terrible grinding. I replaced to starter and it still has the same problem. Any suggestions? Another problem is my tank. It has a small leak. I need to have it repaired and repainted. Who did the paint job for the bikes? Also, A mount broke on my pipes and the vibration created a few cracks in numerous places on the pipes. Any suggestions on new pipes? Lastly, the original owner purchased it in texas and the vin number on the frame and the vin number on the sticker on the frame are off by one number. AAA, allowed me to register it. Will I have any other problems down the line. I know these sound like a lot of problems, but I do love the bike. Thank you
On the grinding issue, the jackshaft may be sticking. Have your tech check it and make sure its properly aligned and lubricated. If the starter is a Spyke they are pretty much bullet-proof and if they fail they will rebuild yours cheap. (Anyone who puts anything but a Spyke starter on their bike should have their head examined.)
