Hey man, its been a while. Curious what kind of progress you've made with your build. Any updates? If you still have them, I think I'd take your OEM Blaster front shocks off your hands. I figure I'll swap them & see how they do. Seems like its worth a shot. Im also still having problems with the...

Im glad your project is going well. Out of curiosity, how much would you ask for the front shocks & what color are the springs? I've got to find something so the front end isn't so incredibly stiff. I've heard that Blasters all ride stiff, but these are ridiculous. Proper functioning OEM shocks...

Hey, I went out to Porcupine Dam today just to get out of town for awhile. I remembered that you said you live out that way & I thought I'd check how your project was going. What's the latest news? I also wanted to see if you had a few parts you'd be willing to get rid of. I need a new "hood"...

The problems I'm having with my sons bike are the transmission kicks into neutral in 4th gear and the flywheel is binding the crank. So bottom end parts is what I'd be looking for. Let me know if you think you have anything that would help me out. Thanks.

Here is the fastest. I found a local shop to look at the Blaster & the guys all seemed nice & friendly...until 1 of them noticed the outline of my big, thick......wallet through my jeans. After that, I had no hope. Even if I yelled out for my friends, "Benjamin! Mr. Jackson! All of my friendly...

I will be taking the Blaster in to a local shop for a leak down test & a compression test on Monday. I haven't had great luck finding a mechanic that can get it in, get things tested & get me pointed in the right direction, regarding repairs. I have even looked at buying a complete, running...

I've been reading your posts today & just saw that you're in Utah. I live up in the Logan area. I just bought a Blaster for my son & have been trying to get it running properly. If you are still planning on selling your Blaster engine, or parts of it, I might be interested. Let me know what your...

Read your post & I'm currently in a very similar sounding situation. My sons Blaster is running exactly as you described. I'm curious what your final jetting setup was & what mods have been made (pipe, air filter, porting, etc)? Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do Blaster engines not like running a pod style air filter, direct to the carb? I purchased a Blaster that had the airbox fully removed & a small k&n style filter hooked direct to the carb. I'm trying to get it jetted properly & not having any luck. I replaced the filter w/ a Uni 2-stage...

Thanks for the info. I knew that there likely wouldn't be any benefit, but I never knew that it would actually cause a loss of power. In my area, ethanol-free pump gas is typically 88-91. I run the 91 & add Klotz octane booster @ 4oz per gallon & Klotz Nitro @ 2oz per gallon. It will be easy...

I have a Banshee & my son has a Blaster. Neither of them require fuel with an octane rating of 91 (pump gas). Are there any downsides to running high octane (100+) ethanol-free unleaded in a motor that doesn't require it? The cost is obvious, I'm referring to performance or reliability...

I managed to pick up a clean little 2001 for $800. Gave it to my son for his birthday. The owner couldn't figure out the electrical. It had no spark & the owner was convinced that was the only problem. I rewired the entire harness one evening & everything now works great. However, it did have a...
