Hi, I recently picked up a couple of blasters (1996 & 2005). The '05 seemed to be idling a little low, but otherwise running well, so I had a look for the idle screw where it is in the manual (and on the '96) and realized it wasn't there. I did a bit of reading here on the forum and realized it...

I have a 2001 yamaha blaster, it’s a little difficult to start at first but not to bad, when I ride it in first gear it’s fine until I shift into second gear and give it full throttle it kinda sputters, as if it’s misfiring. It will take off then die down for about a second and keep doing that I...

So in my continuous struggle to get my blaster working again, i have run into yet another problem. I have fixed the start up problem, i ended up ruining the key switch. But now my problem is when it is running. when i start it up and give it gas, the engine bogs out, and if i give it full gas...

So my buddy Dillon and I swapped frames so he could have one that's titled without going through a bunch of legal BS. I'm getting his frame, which the previous owner lost the title for, but wouldn't apply for a new one. Now, New Jersey is easy to get a title for if you can prove ownership, this...
