    Headlight cooked!!

    OEM lighting is AC, you'll need to change it to 12v DC for LED lights & accessories. That takes a rectifier/regulator, small battery & float the ground. There are threads here describing this in detail. Also wiring diagrams. Just use search. Happy night rides! 🍻...

    Gncc style yz 250 blaster?

    Welcome, real nice Blaster you have there! Forum is kinda dead but it holds about everything you'd need to know about Blasters. Some nice water cooled swaps. I believe the original engine/gearing is perfect for the small frame & suspension with tons of improvement options .. but .. I've had a...

    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?

    Ok, this is not a recommendation. Just a story. This kicker is from my 89 backup engine. Worn sloppy, rusty, no o-ring and couldn't feel the ball. Cleaned everything up & carefully enlarged the detent with a small round carbide burr in the dremel. The casting is pretty hard but carbide will...

    How to rebuild rattling kickstart?

    It will come out & the new o-ring should help the rattle. Good luck!

    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...
