hi there i had a question for you guys. when i start my bike, at idle, there is a sort of grinding sound coming from the motor. i can feel it when i touch it. it goes away when i rev the motor or drive around. it only does it a low idle. any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have a blaster that i was thinking of putting a yz250 motor in it. i was wondering if anyone has done this or something similar. how hard would it be and would it require a lot of fab work. lemme know i would greatly appreciate it. thanx

hi there, i was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best performing paddle tires are for a mostly stock blaster. how many paddles are the best to use. and what kind. v-paddles, hauler paddles, etc. thanx

the silencer would not change anything, sounds like you might have an airleak somewhere. my blaster did that it had an airleak around the reed cage. if you spray some carb cleaner around your carb, if the motor revs up you have an air leak. that was my experience, i didnt seal if enough. but no...

i just noticed my output shaft seal was leaking, are they easy to replace? if so how would i go about doing it?

thanx guys that was the info i needed, my neighbor told me it would help but he doesnt ride and i didnt trust his advice. thanx again

i was wondering if race gas was ok to run in a stock blaster motor. would it even help at all? i only have boysen power reeds, dg exhaust, 270 main, kn filter no lid.

i was wondering if anyone can tell me if its ok to use spacers on my front wheels or if i should get longer a-arms? for the cost i would like to use spacers but if its going to be bad for the bike i will get a widening kit. thanx

i take back what i said about yamaha's. didnt mean to affend anyone. I GOT IT GOING THOUGH!!! it was the crank seal, it was putting oil in the tube so it wasnt able to fire up. i cant explain the no spark.. but i kicked it about 50 times and got it to start and then rode it around for a bit and...

well i done with yamaha's, no offense to anyone but im going back to honda. they have never failed me. i have had a total of 6 yamaha 4 blasters and they always go to sh*t. i still have a 82' piece of sh*t honda 200s and its still running strong. to hell with yamaha's. nothing but bad...

i dont know the problem either, this bike has been really pissin me off. as soon as i touch the stator the motor, it loses ohms. it should be at around 24 and 256. when i touch the stator to the motor it drops to 4ohms. this bike ran fine when i test drove it and bought it and as soon as i took...

so upon installing the stator in the blaster, i noticed something weird. when i seat the stator the ohms drop. it tests 256 and 24 and when i try to put in place, it stays at 256 but drops to 4. when i take it out it goes back up to 24 wtf is going on. i have check all the connections on the...

no spark, it was random starts now no start. i think my stator might be fried, i tested it and with the meter on 2000, it tested 172ohm blk/red blk wire source coil and 24ohm blk/white red wire pick up coil. would that mean its done for. i put the plug up against the head and i see no spark. the...

ok, so finally got my blaster to start, i just kicked a lot and it randomly started. then nothing and 15-20 more kicks it started again and now my kill switch wont work and it wont start anymore. so i tested the coil its good, tested the stator and it tested 173 ohms source coil and 24 pickup...

i am pulling my hair out with this bike. it ran beautiful when i bought it until i took it home and now it dont start. had the coil tested it good. trying to test the stator but dont know how to do it, i have an olhm tester not sure how to hook it up and i dont know the specs. if anyone has...
