anyone who owns or has bought a Baja Warrior should immediately Clean the engine tray off,both top and bottom and look for Stress Cracks.
this so called tray is made of out Tinfoil,erm Tin,it is Not welded Fully all around the frame and should be replaced ASAP with something called Steel.
the other day,my boy was riding it up a steep hill,wayy out in the boonies,it ate a clutch,stripped the teeth right off of the drum,we threw an extra drum on it and got it home.
i was puzzled at first till i realized the secondary chain gear was bent out of alignment.
i couldnt figure out how it bent that huge pulley stand.
when i got that motor off today,i saw how bad it really was.
the Only part that was still attached was the part on the bottom side,you can see where i had to sawzall it off....two welds left...that was it.
the Entire tray area is Garbage,definitely not designed to take stress for a long period of time.
its designed to fail,not to survive,esp with a 6.5 horse motor pulling on it.
( in my opinion )
just looking at How they setup the tab! for the shaft stand is ridiculous..
that chain could just as easily whacked my kids leg,instead of chewing off those teeth.
esp with the plastic! clutch cover....
ut:
again,i know a few of you guys just bought these types to ride at the show,so Check it out! Be Safe!
heres the pics,hope yours doesnt look the same!
