Right....... That aint sh*t either. I can ride a wheelie for 10 miles with my eyes closed, hands behind my back AND in the snow and then I can jump over the Grand Canyon. Good videos everyone. Those pits look like a lot of fun.

I got my blaster in May and have ridden all summer without doing anything to it. Seems in good shape. The only noticeable problem is a tendency to not want to idle down right away unless a little bit of load is put on (like letting the clutch out a bit). It kind of surges a little (maybe I need...

Yesterday I was riding and my brother noticed that the plastic drain cap at the bottom of the air box was black. Enough oil had accumulated to fill the plastic cap and coat the bottom of the air box. I assume that it came from the carb but am not sure if I should be concerned. A few days earlier...

I was under the impression that the clutch was only NEEDED for starting and stopping. Everyone I ride with including myself have shifted clutchless up and down. Its the way we were taught by fathers and uncles who rode for years and years. I clutch when riding casually but not when riding...

i had this happen when i first got my blaster and it went away when i turned the air/fuel screw to make it richer. maybe you're lean?

We did this to an 01 blaster so I tried when i got my 03 and the valve stems hit the brakes.... Guess I'll have to build/buy some spacers

****sorry**** I should have specified that the pilot air screw is not all the way in. Stock is 1.5 turns out. Now its approx. 1 turn out. This, in conjunction with adjusting the idle, is what made it run better but start smoking more. I dont think anything is all that wrong with it, I was just...

I'm trying to print this and the pdf is password protected. I tried a few things but with no luck. Does anyone know the password or a way around it (without buying any software)?

I've had that wide open cant shut off thing happen before too. Its random. Other than that the quad seems to ride alright

I have an 03 and was wondering if, while keeping the new plastic and light, could add the old handlebar mounted light. I always like being able to see where you steer...plus the extra light would be good.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check for leaks. As for the kill switch not working at WOT...what the hell? Wouldn't that be a PERFECT time for it to work? What if your throttle stuck? Update: I read up on jetting in DIY and turned the pilot air screw in and now she runs ok. No random WOT or sputtering...

Thanks for the replys. I thought of dieseling but it hasn't ever run for more than 5 minutes or so at idle or a low revs until it goes wide open. I suppose its possible. Is there any way to tell (would the spark plug look different?) As for the cable, I'll look tomorrow but i don't think so...

I'm new here so I apologize if this is a repost. I've looked around here and seen so many potential causes so I thought I'd post about it. I just bought a 2003 that I believe is stock. I start the engine and get the idle adjusted so that it sounds right (the pilot air screw is out 1 1/2 like...
