So I bought a blaster for pretty cheap. I’m rebuilding the engine. I’ve rebuilt one before but, this time all of the gears and everything came out on the right side of the crankcase. I can’t get the snap ring that holds the shift forks off. Has this happened to anyone else? And if so could you...

Hi guys. New to this thread and just had a question on my 2003 blaster. So me and my co-worker did a top end rebuild on it tried to fire it up and it took forever to kick over which I expected it to because it sat for 10 years before I picked it up. It is bored 20 over has a fmf gold series...

Well I’m back here asking for help. I was going through the gears before putting my engine back together and I noticed that I couldn’t shift anymore. I opened the right side of my case and found that the shift star is pushed in to the point that I can’t find any gears. The shift knob only moves...

I was cleaning my transmission after splitting my case. I flipped it upside down and sprayed brake cleaner to make sure there wasn’t any dirt or anything in the gears. A rod just fell out of the transmission. I think it’s a clutch push rod but I’m not too sure. I have bored out my cylinder and...

Hello I am rebuilding my blaster after my piston exploded. I ordered a wiseco piston and it had almost one millimeter of space between the cylinder and the piston. I decided that ordering a OEM piston was the best bet. I got it and it was still kind of small but bigger than the wiseco. So my...

Hey, I have a oil leak coming from where the cylinder meets the crankcase. Wondering if I could use some yamabond or JBweld to fix it? It’s a very small crack where the two crankcases meet. Here’s a picture of it, any help would be great!

Hey guys so I’m new in the forum but I have used a lot of information from them to fix my blaster. So I just got it back from a shop with a new clutch case and gaskets and seals. I also had a new clutch installed. But, the guy said that it had lower compression than normal- about 100 psi when it...

So I bought a blaster from a buddy first drive I had it out started making this awful screeching noise which I thought was the clutch. I took the clutch cover off an removed the clutch turns out I think it's a bearing in the transmission that is spun cause whenever I spin the wheel the...

I got a blaster recently and have done a ton of stuff to it, it needed a new piston last on had a broken skirt. anyways the the cylinder is fine but i can’t tell if it is oem or a cheap one. the piston looked to be like a cheap one and it was definitely not oem. but i’m not sure about cylinder...

Hey so this is my first post on the forum. I’m brand new, I have had a blaster for 4 months now. Loved every minute of it till the other day i blew the whole motor.

This is my first time posting a thread on this forum but here I go. My 02 blaster finally seized up after having engine problems. After a month of replacing literally everything on the damn thing it seized up after running it. We cam to realize that it was the main crank bearing. We have no idea...

I have two blasters. Id like to put my 03 240 motor in my 88-02 blaster. can I just swap electric? can I replace the 03 stator and harness and electric parts with 88-02 stator harness and electric etc? basically the 88 is in better condition than the 03 but the 03 has a better motor and engine...
