I have a 1999 Yamaha warrior 350 and it’s a great machine. Y’all did a very good job at your restoration. God bless and remember never surrender

Amen brother!
Man, you can really tell that 4 wheelers are Charles' bag. He just looks so confident on that thing
The plastics restoration blew my mind! Can't believe how well this quad came back considering how bad it was!

Better method is to use a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and acetone, clean the plastics and once dry just rub on let it soak in and the acetone evaporate, depending on how bad it's oxidized reapply a second and if needed third time. Lasts 2-3 years. No sanding or scrapping. Heat is best for small scratches. Make sure to use BOILED Linseed oil, if you use un boiled it will leave the plastic sticky and not absorb as well

@stoddern I came to say the same thing. Heat pulls the dye and oil out of the plastic, not to mention doesn't last very long

Try some SC1 by maxxima, the stuff works amazing. Its basically a plastic polish

Novus plastic polish, been using since the 70's on all plastic and rubber .. even puts a shine on powder coated parts.
Man, we needed more charles on atvs content while he was on the channel. He looks so much more comfortable going fast on atvs than mini bikes and gokarts
You can do the plastic resto with a Heatgun as well. Did it on the plastics of the trunk of a Ford Flex I inherited.. I used the flat end of a paint can opener to smooth out the big scratches. Worked well enough to get me $12k in a trade-in.
Ike is great but Charles leaving is a huge loss to this channel

No disrespect to John and Ike, but Charles Surely added a cool twist to all of your episodes 🤠 Maybe you should include that Big mullet in one of those Chuck Pac donations,,or maybe raffle it off 😎😆
Always a good time working with you guys! See you on the next one!
Holy Cow man. I LOVE my little old Warrior! I did a full restoration on it a couple years ago!

Hey just heads up dyi for holes in seat foam. If in warmer clinates hot glue and heated putty knife for smoothing purposes works great. For climates that see colder temps you use tube of clear silicone and a plastic putty knife.
My first quad! Those old warrior 350s were indestructable!

They sure are I have my reliable old 87 warrior that I just literally got done rebuilding to run on VP C9 race fuel an 14:1 compression, stage 2 hot cam, weisco oversized piston, niche billet cylinder and billet cylinder head, weisco stage 4 crankshaft, bike is an absolute beast now and it handles it perfectly with no issues whatsoever even with me having blown it up 12 times prior in the 6-10yr time frame of me owning it with like less than 48hrs on it from the time of each rebuild with pump gas all stock lol now it’s running low 9s in the 1/4 mile
Don't use better help. They sell your information.
Great job guys! I love restoration on a budget. Gives me ideas for some of our toys. Can’t wait to see Colin rip this thing around. Awesome score RCC!
Gonna miss Ole Chucky. Good luck to you Charles, much love and respeck. I've been a fan for 7ish(??) years, I've loved to watch this channel grow and become what it is today. I'm lookin' forward to see how you guys decide to proceed w/o Uncle Chuck!! Thanks for all of your hard work and time that you have given to us making this beautiful content. Much love from Pittsburgh!!!!!!!

Respeck? Like daddy long neck?
This was one of my first 4 wheelers, I tortured it every time I rode it and it never failed me or left me stranded, Definitely a great beginner quad…
It is always a highlight of my week to see a new Cars and Cameras video. Collaborations like this are even better. I love the rustoration projects too. Keep bringing us more great content please.
Aluminum foil works to clean chrome/ nickel its abrasive enough to remove the rust and softer then the chrome so it doesn't scratch it up.
Gonna miss that boy. Have a great life Charles.
And then BETTER HELP well sell your private info to the highest bidder, STOP ENDORSING, these crooks, you guys are too good for this
great stuff guys thanks
I love your videos! Just bought a welder today because of what i get from watching ❤ from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Another good tip on restoring plastic and helping clean mud from the plastic. Use mop and shine / mop& glow floor cleaner.
Man yea, even that sledge hammer wouldnt get that front wheel off with the brake caliper holding the disc....wow. If you wanna pull the wheel and hub off you might wanna remove the brake caliper first.
northumberland UK tuning in todays episode looks like a good one
Hey guys, just a heads up for the future, you should never use aa blowtorch (or a heatgun) to restore plastics like that. Heat cycling them that aggressively causes the plastic to turn brittle and it usually gets really fragile and prone to cracking. Ideally you'd want to use something like a buffing wheel to add heat gently with friction. You'll get the same effect, but a much more durable end result.
LETS GOOOO YALL GOT A WARRIOR, I fully rebuilt my 1990 warrior as my first “restoration” project it was dopeeee, this is sick!!!!
I really enjoyed the plastic restoration. Sometimes ya just cant find replacements. Sad to hear Charles is leaving, the onscreen chemistry is so good. Good job on the fix-up.
Absolutely would love to see some complete restorations that look nice as they did on the showroom floor and Would love to see a shop tour with a tour of all the rigs
I had a 2004 350 Warrior!! It was a Beast of a bike!! Made it thru 3 boys !! 🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
Dude... 8" ACTUAL wool buffing skirt with medium compound will BLOW YOUR DAMN MIND on any of those old plastics
Yamaha's are the best. My buddy has a banshee and that thing is a beast. All you can do is hold on and pray. Stupid fast.
Good to see your "Crash Test Chuck" in action 😊
21:26 Shoe goo works really well for fixing the boots to 👍
Damn, why didn't you use a longer pipe to hammer through that 10 inch frame tube with the dent, imagine how much better it would have been if you could've been hammering it on the other side of the shop.
My dad had a '03 warrior 350 6 speed with reverse that I rode all the time I loved that thing, had so much acceleration cuz of the 6 speed and the accelerator pump in the carb, it would throw rooster tails in 3rd, and it sounded like a absolute animal just loud but deep tone this warrior seems alot slower than the one i rode......but had to sell it due to needing money
Nice job leaving your mark on the top of the charts Charles...and as a bonus you widened the road in one spot. ;) Kinda of a shame to see that bike go, it rips. You guys should buy an air hammer to help remove stubborn things off shafts and axles. If you grind a curve into a flat chisel you can hammer on the hub without damaging the axle, and a thousand hits is better than 5 any day. That being said, a $400. dollar air hammer is 400 X better than an $18 dollar air hammer so I would recommend the used Snap-On or Ingersol Rand. There may be some good cheaper ones out there now I had my Snap-On since I was 19, but the best one I ever used is the IR 121Q Super Duty with .401 shank my friend has. We call it THUMPER.
This Old Man from Washington NC always enjoying your videos 👍. Love You Guys. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
This looks fantastic!
That blowtorch method's gonna be back to baby blue in a month.
I have the same quad !! Gotta replace the coil or cdi don’t know yet haven’t had time to mess with it bc of work lol wish y’all wasn’t far away from West Virginia I’d sell it to y’all for 1000 lol has a big bore kit too
To restore platic,,HEAT GUN,,works amazing,,safer than a torch for overheating
I had 2 warriors 350s great quads and my first one had the 390 stroker kit an that quad ran awsome lol it had all the good parts on it .
Love the collaboration between you & all your mates..should get together & build on new course no.1 vehicle...would be awesome..
Also, I would definitely break out my buffer with a wool pad and buff those plastics, but y'all did a great job on them!
17:05 tha look he gives his mate while in tha background XD Ah died laughin HAHAH cheers fae Scotland
@CarsandCameras Pour cold water on plastics after they are melted it will be a bit shinier
You got to weld a to hitch bar on the bottom of that engine hoist. Back the truck up into the garage, tip the engine hoist to the hitch, put the pin in, then go pick up the bike next time or any other object. 1000 times easier with those casters on gravel...
I have that same warrior. Mine is an 05. Its an absolute beast. One of the torque'ist 350cc quads ive ridden. It has a jetted carb and white bros tunable exhaust with header. Its loud as all get out. Sounds like a peed off grizzly bear in the woods 😂. But i love my yz250 swapped blaster a little more😊
Had a blue and white one,exavt same one as this,and i ran it under water at least 20 times,hit the starter and blew water out of the tailpipe and started EVERY time lol abused it on motocross tracks all over texas, and the only things i ever had to fix were carrier bearings and brake pads from constantly running in muddy water...
Love the videos man
The warrior was a powerful and popular machine.A classic for sure,I would have kept that myself.For 50 bucks you can afford to fix it up and still not have allot in a decent machine.Seems to run fine the exhaust is worth the purchase price easy.
Love these old machines! I learned to ride on one of them, my dad still rides his that he bought new in 87!
Ive used spray foam to fill holes in a 82 yamaha seat once. Worked good.
Been doing the blow torch on the plastic trick since the early 80s and it works awesome

The reason that gloss is coming back after you hit him with the heat because you're not cleaning I'm good enough. You need to use a cleaner like a glass cleaner with alcohol in it.
Those wheels not coming off gave me horrific flashbacks. I had my old atc that had a slow leak in a few tires. But because you could pump them up and get a days riding they were never fixed. Ten years later the tire wore out, and I literally wrecked the machine getting the wheels off. Both rears seized on and front shaft, dont even talk to me about it. Maintenence your machines boys, and I'm usually one that's on top of that kinda stuff, fell into the ol first pull starter, she's good to go routine
Nice restoration. 🎉
yes sir, 50 buck cant beat it. i got something ive never seen before a real trail 50cc harley dadidson. got great blue tank, stickers on it original looks good. going to restore it for grandbaby but i got time to probaly going sell it its a 1970s model mid 70s believe. mostly all there idk if runs said it did .idk nice looking little bike and its a Harley.
Chuck you are too tough on yourself. You are a great dude full of heart
Those warriors were known for the faulty reverse mechanism, i found this out the hard way on one. I decided to hit this gnarly hill climb on a warrior after successfully doing it on a Banshee, right before the top it decided to find neutral bc of the reverse mechanism, and well they weigh alot so having one roll across you a couple times is no fun. So for any future warrior riders, you dont need reverse just zip tie it tight in the forward position.
That blue spray paint you guys used is very cool I like it
I did the plastics torch repair more than a year ago - got photos too.
My olde bother took his own life 30 minutes after ending an email conversation with betterhelp
Use kroil on the parts that won't come apart. Or rusty bolts. Trust me on this. Kroil is magic in a can.👌
Wow. Your up early or was that yesterday. Anyways, make my day fellas. Dropping tools in South Australia.
Pc racing plastic renew works wonders if you take the time and do the prep it’s only 20 bucks and I got a mirror finish on my 06’ banshee on the 18 year old stock black plastics which had some pretty deep scratches I went from 220 all the way up to 1000 grit wet sanding not missing a grit in between banshees have only 4 plastics so it’s not to bad but I followed that with alcohol to clean the surface and applied about 16 coats of pc racing plastic renew buffing every 4th time and my plastics literally look brand new not bad for 20 bucks and $18 spent on sand paper although they give you sandpaper not up to 1000 tho cause it’s not instructed.

It’s always a good day when cars and cameras finish a project!!😂
I jad a 250 blaster. I loved that unit
LegosandCameras strike again.
Another good one guys 👍👍
Not to shabby for a $50 buy. Super win.
Charles should start his own channel and do his thing. I hope he's not slaving for some company and having a shitty job. What is he fixin to where he is going? For work?
Love the sponsor but I fortunately found a great therapist for myself already.
WARRIORS never die! Best quad, hands down. There's an obvious reason why hundreds of thousands of them were manufactured and sold and are still tearing it up!
Boiled linseed oil mixed up with paint thinner works good on faded plastic.

Never heard of that method where i can find more info
the torch method is killer. You HAVE to clean and spray on some UV protection clear though. or not ;-) Fun project. Them friends know their stuff.
I've had 4 banshees, 2 blasters and one raptor. Always wanted a warrior.
The boot you had put on there for the carb the gasket has a problem getting sucked in
Do the doctors have an estimate on Ike's therapy? Maybe when he finishes, Ike and John will finally come out of the closet? It would be so cute to see them both riding mini bikes into the sunset while holding hands! ❤
Man I wish I could bring my 1987 Honda trx250x and run it around your course and set a hot lap I have over 30 years experience on quads and dirtbikes and 3wheelers I’d love to be the test driver for you guys. 🤙🏻
I had a Warrior 350 back in the day that I got off someone that was in rough shape. I never got a chance to fix her up and I regret selling it. Maybe one day I can get my hands on another one.
Charles made this channel better sad to see him leave hope he starts his own channel and kills it❗ 🔥🔥
I thought that was chuck on there jumping it nice 😊
I see you fellas have some wildfires your way. Stay safe.
I think it would be sick to see a mini bike giveaway…also Charles please don’t leave
What special place you find a 50 dollar atv 😂

Junkers or junkies. One of the 2.
Them carbs are lil tricky to get tuned rite . I bet with the rite jets and a good rebuild kit that thing will rip really hard . I can tell it’s lacking a few rpm’s
That 4 wheeler turned out great and for 50 $ you can't go wrong with a Yamaha 😮👍
I used to have one of those i liked my mojave better only a 250cc but little quads more fun to me. In the woods
We lengthened the a arms on ours. Made it way more stable and easier to drift corners.. nice job
Apply WD-40 for a short soak, then get out the torch and heat the bolt /nut up and then try brake free again almost every time it brakes free.
I'm sorry, but the betterhelp commercial had me rolling! Just thinking what the executives who sit in boardrooms deciding on commercials discuss. Not once in the history of executivism has one of them said; "Now, listen... What I think we need, is a couple of dudes, who build go carts and tillitson powered buffoonery for a living, to be our spokes people." Followed by shouts of hoorahhhh and everyone heads to their crosscarts in the executive parking area and do smokey burnouts out of the parking garage on their way to GoPowersports!
Like a real man FIRE fixes everything
A manual w/ clutch quad would be so cool. All ive got is a crashed car bc a drunk driver hit me
' Chuck, Chuck....Chuck of the jungle...Watch out for that tree..'. Going out with a roar and a Bang? The ,..uh..'restoration' looks good. How the heck is there sand Under the fender with all the cleaning though? I've had people ask why my bikes aren't all clean.I keep the greasy stuff slick,the oily stuff oiled, and the Thieves away from stealing them. Nice meeting the new owners too.
Definitely need to come to Oklahoma and have a meet at little Sahara and ride my 48hp Yamaha warrior I think you wouldn’t know what todo lol
This video was a great one! Cars and camera old style cheap budget, and just cleaning things up, using some rattle cans. Something anyone could do. And look at the results boys? Bet you wish ya kept it lol
The torch procedure
That same procedure works on some old chrome also
