I found the problem with my 01' warrior. I had replaced the pickup coil to no avail. Then I ordered the stator assembly which comes with the pickup coil, source coil, and the stator and now my warrior starts every time you push the button... If you are having problems with starting, try the stator assembly if possible. The costs is around $150 then add shipping. Search online for the best price. Check EBay or other sources. RMStator out of Canada was my choice and a good one, price and product with a 1yr warranty. Good luck...

I also have a 2001 warrior. I had the same problem so I pull or push started it everytime. While trying to pullstart it the last time, the rear end wouldn't turn over. It was locked up, so I kept trying. Finally the rear end broke free but when the axle turned, it didn't turn over the motor.The rear axle just kept spinning without the motor firing at all. l'm pretty illiterate when it comes to bikes and how to fix them. My wheeler has been sitting since 03. I'm now returning home and gettting out of the army. I've been in Afghanistan and Germany for the last three years so I'm ready to frickin ride. If anyone can help me figure out what's wrong and how to fix it it would be greatly appreciated. Just an old country boy who wants to ride! Thanx
