    05 blaster has no power at all

    Welcome. Some things to check. Check compression, with a tester, not a finger. Disassemble the carburetor and completely clean it. I mean really clean!All jets & passages! If you use search you can find a description of the TORS system, or Throttle Override System. A sometimes problematic...

    Another homemade swingarm

    A arm is a bit heavy but won't break. The bike is heavy at 350 lbs with liquids but has a buncha junk stuff that wouldn't be on a competitive bike..

    Plastic fit

    The rear hood holes match the front tank cover holes. You'll need to make/fabricate a front mount on the shock mount cross member. The black trim piece mounts on the front bumper assembly ... I think 🤣🍺

    Awk08 Rear Hydraulic Brake Kit

    This is an old thread. Don't think Awk08's been on in a long time and he wasn't making his brake kit anymore. You can prolly find a kit online but not cheap. If you have a welder & some fab skills you can build one. The Blaster rotor floats so it's not so difficult. Something like this will...

    Otis' Hot Rod Blaster build

    Oh, it runs! 2nd heat cycle. I'm too old to kick over that extra 120cc's but my son can do it without a problem. 🤣 Short video. I don't have a editor yet so it is what it was. He's a bit heavy for the suspension.

    How to rebuild rattling kickstart?

    How to rebuild rattling kickstart?

    How to rebuild rattling kickstart?

    This is from our 33yr old guest Blaster. Hope it helps. Use a impact driver to loosen screw, if you strip it your screwed. 🤣 The spring is prolly full of rust. I spray penetrating oil on the ball & work in and out with pliers. It should come free. Might need to scrape the rust from the end of...

    Otis' Hot Rod Blaster build

    Nice lookin Blaster ya got there! Are ya sure ya wanna change its motor mounts.😁 What I know about suspension is what I read from Phragle and my own imagination. Not too scientific. 🤣 If I read too much I might just build someone else's opinion. Don't care what it looks like sitting around...
