Down hill, LOL. Yea that would suck. But seriouly, i have never had a problem with the stock front brakes, of course im not riding stream beds either so i have to admit i might not be so supportive of them if i did.

I use my brakes the same way. Front brakes only unless the back is needed when im coming into a turn or somehting too fast and need to bleed off as much speed as possible. However, i stand by the fact that my front stock brakes work just fine, they lock the front wheels if i squeeze the lever...

I dont get it. maybe you just want to spend money on your toy. Its all good. But i have to say, if you are just runnning on flat open dirt roads, you dont need that. In my experience of riding mine, just get your rear end off the seat and hang it down by the foot peg, you should be good to...

I thought about replacing my front brakes with hydraulic, but then it dawned on me that they work just fine the way they are. Its the back brakes that suck.

You can find thousands of places on the internet selling yamaha oem parts. Ebay can allso be a treasure trove of needed parts.

Yea, a side by side would be nice. I look on craigslist all the time, but the price is too high for me. Maybe ill get lucky and find a deal of a lifetime. We could have alot of fun together riding thru the woods.

Wow, nice deal. You gonna use all those parts?

My advise would to be "dont ride over your skill level". It doesnt mater if its a race or just trail riding. If you arent comfortable you are gonna screw up on something. The only way to go fast is to learn how by practice, i ride alot faster now than i used to , but my confidence level had...

Let me start off by saying this is in no way a diss to the blaster, if you think it is, reread the post. My first avt i bought was a 2000 blaster and i thought it was the ulitimate beast. I had to be carefull to keep it from standing up on me doing turn arounds under full throttle. Fast...

I dont know what the deal is with that video, but if i had some acid it might look right. Just kindding, i dont do drugs, but that video is worthless. Its just a blotchy mess. Let us know whats happening. and good luck. Is the plug wet after trying to crank it?

If you have a cable and can get the rear brake to work, then go that route for now, because it looks like you have lots of other things that need to be fixed. If it doesnt work, you may want to pm awk. I wasted about 100 bucks on a full cable, shorty cable, new parts for the inside of the brake...

After trying to crank it have you pulled the plug to check if it is wet? I am going to suggest the starting fluid allso. I recently bought a kx60 of a neighbor that had been sitting for about 8 years. After cleaning the carb and putting new gaskets on it, i reinstalled and kicked and kicked...

big hammer time.

i bought a head light off of a unknown year blaster to put on my 2000 year blaster. The headlight interferes with turning, is the headlight bracket bent or are there different brackets for different years. I did have to weld up the inside mounting points because they were about broken off...

If its the rubber pc is coming apart then you could glue a pc of hose on there. Kinda ghetto, but cheap.
