    newbie From South Africa....Help needed

    You can check it in a dark environment or at night with nearby lights switched off just to make sure that there is no spark, also just a reminder to make sure that the kill switch is in the run position and that the key is switched on.

    newbie From South Africa....Help needed

    I would first start by removing or bypassing the TORS system, there are several threads on here detailing the procedure. If there is then still no spark you will have to trace the fault through your wiring with a electrical tester.Good places to start would be to check if your kill switch and...

    newbie From South Africa....Help needed

    Hi, the easiest way is to remove the plug from the head, keep it plugged into the plug cap and let it rest against the head or any convenient metal part on the bike where it would be visible to you (it is easier if someone else helps you by watching the bottom part of the sparkplug). Make sure...

    Hi Mzminty, it is nice to meet another member from S.A.! You can PM me if you need any help in Afrikaans, I may even give you my telephone number if the need arises. I am somewhat a noob when it comes to some Blaster specifics but I have 15+ years experience on various other 2 stroke machines.

    Shock oil leak?

    Thank Thanks Awk08, it seems like it could be the gearbox overflow, I wasn't aware of the gearbox overflow at the front! I just checked to find that the glass is completely full. Would it have done any damage? I am just going to drain the fluid and replace with the correct grade and volume...

    Clutch turning itself loose?

    Hi guys I just replaced my clutch for the second time. The adjustment nut on the pushrod keeps on turning loose resulting in no clutch after a kilometre or two and I'm starting to get pissed of at having to do the same thing over and over. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

    clutch

    Look for the two dots when assemblying the clutch they must be lined up. The first one is on the clutch hub(the one that fits inside of the basket where the plates fit over) and the second is on the pressure plate. It took me two nights of swearing, assembling, disassembling, assembling...

    Lucky kid in SW Ohio

    Hi that certainly is a nice freebie! The best part is that you can built it with the best from the start, this way you will have a beast for the price of a stock blasty- if not cheaper! My guess would be '95-98, but if I had to say my guess would be '96. Good luck convincing your folks!
