My wife has an '04 warrior.. and it is Green sticker and has a Y in the 8'th position... I would guess that if the DMV website says it's RED, they that is what you'll get...
My wife rides, the whole family rides! I made that part of the wedding vows. Street, Dirt, quads, doesn't matter...
IMO - most quad people who crash at 50 on doubles with no helmet are not able to tell the rest of them that they wish they had some gear on!
I bought one for my son (6 yrs at the time) - The only fix I could find was to sell it. Raptor80racing was getting a rev limiter made, but never got it done by the time I decided to sell... the single speed tranny will be the next issue if they get the rev limiter done.
Best of luck...
