I have been interested in bikes for a long time but this is my first one. I just bought a 2005 Yamaha Warrior 1700. I look forward to tapping into the years of experience of people on this forum.

You will have quite the challenge on your hands with a Warrior 1700 as your first bike (did you dirt bike before or rode before?). To be honest, I had a Magna V4 as my first bike (it was much less of a bike that your 1700) and it was too much for me, in fact, I stopped riding for a few years due to a low speed spill with it... if I started on a 500cc or smaller then I would have rode those years... so becareful with the 1700.

Welcome to the world of riding and ask any questions you want, we are all here to help.

yeah, the 1700 is definitely ambitious, but take it easy and you'll do fine. My brother started with a Harley Davidson Dyna and he did just fine. It isn't recommended, but it can be done, just know your limits.
