    What size nut is used on kickstarter?

    I was working on my girlfriends quad the other day and had to remove the kick starter in order to take the oil/case apart. The threads on the nut holding the kicke start on completely broke free from the nut. The threads came out perfectly leaving the nut bare. I was thinking I might be...

    out of control idle

    Try this as I had the very same problem. I tried everything I could think of and find on the forums. Start up the engine and grab your throttle cable by your handle bars. Move it around and see it your throttle changes. I had to back the little adjustment out a couple of turns by my throttle...

    Need some help, extreme revving

    Ok so I just wanted to follow up on what the problem was. I finally was able to work on my GF's blaster today. I started by taking off the Tors unit and instantly noticed that the engine idled much more stable and reliable. I was able to lean out the low end again and then set the idle with...

    Need to soften ride for girlfriend, ideas?

    Does the year of the 250R shock make a difference? Should I be looking at a certain year range? Ya she is extremely fit. Use to be a gymnast and cheerleader. She loves the quad so far but because she was in a serious accident two years ago she has some unwanted back pain. So making this...

    Need some help, extreme revving

    Hopefully tomorrow morning when I get home from work I can put a few hours into tearing everything down and cleaning. Ill take the TORS off as well. Seems to me that it would not be an airleak as the engine can run for two hours straight with me hammering on it through the dunes and it never...

    Sweet! Ill start looking for the shocks on ebay and see what I can get. Does anyone have any pics of the fab work its going to take to mount the rear shock? Ill pm phragle to get some help as well. Will the Banshee front shocks bolt right up or will the suspension need to be modded? Thanks...

    Ill start looking around for shocks. Think the 250r rear shock with banshee front shocks would be a good start? Here is a pic from her first trip out on her Blaster. She was in love with her new fox pink/white/black gear. Garrett

    Need to soften ride for girlfriend, ideas?

    I can fab no problem. What is a 250R? Is it a quad made by Yamaha or a dirt bike? Because my dirt bike is a Honda crf 250R. Do they make a coil spring for the front and rear shocks that don't take as much load to compress? If I added wheel spacers would that help as its now giving the...

    Need to soften ride for girlfriend, ideas?

    I bought a 2001 Blaster for my girlfriend. She really likes the quad but its ridding way to rough for her. We went down to Pismo this last week and it just beat the living hell out of her. She only weighs 113 pounds but even with me "165 pounds" its still pretty rough. I had the front tires...

    Hello everyone, I bought a 2001 Blaster for my girlfriend a few weeks ago. I cleaned it all up and got it looking very nice for my lady. It has been running great while teaching her how to use the clutch out at our vineyard. We took a trip down to Pismo Beach this past week and everything...
