Yamaha warrior 350 build (part 2) tear down

[@tsmith578]

Hey man nice project . warriors are great machines , its always good to see someone enthusiastic about fixing one up. I have a 1987 myself . if you would like a little good advice , get yourself a bladder kit for that rear shock and a quart of some Belray 5W shock fluid oil for it . if you need a seal kit for the piston on it they are available also . when I repaired mine it didn't have any pressure left in it so it was easy to compress the cap on the end of the resovior and get out the circlip. But if there is pressure in yours be careful or it'll give you a big kiss !.. my shock piston seals weren't leaking any oil so After I got the cap and old seals out of the resovior , I just took the lock nuts and spring off the shock body and pumped the shock a few times to remove the old oil , then flushed it out with some fresh shock oil through the resovior . then I held the resovior up with a piece of wire suspended from the ceiling in my garage , filled it with shock oil and slowly pumped the shock piston to get all the air out , while keeping the resovior full of oil . then I installed the Bladder and circlip . after I got it finished I took It to the motorcycle shop and had them fill it with nitrogen for me , the standard pressure for a warrior rear shock is 170 psi. make sure if you work on that shock to wear some good rubber gloves and some really good safety glasses , and a good face mask is also advisable , and have good ventilation,. the fumes from that shock oil is some potent stuff . good luck with your project , and if you have any questions , give back a holler on the comment returns , . maybe I can help ya out with some answers , I've had my warrior for several years and done several repair projects on it , and I have a shop manual for warriors . Keep up the videos . Tim from Wisconsin .

Hey there Tim, thank you for watching the video and for the insight, I do appreciate it greatly. Unfortunately most of my attention is turning to the motor, found alot of problems but never the less she will be back ripping the trails shortly. New video on the project should be out either Sunday or Wednesday where I'm installing quite a few new parts on to get it back to a rolling chassis. Hopes to put new shocks on next year all the way around but motor is my main priority.

You should put my 82 650 yamaha turbo in it lol

Just wondering where you found the visor for your 6.5? I’ve been looking and can’t find one that doesn’t cost a fortune.

I had to look in salvage yards for awhile to find it. They are getting harder to come by
