hey guys i have a stock 05 blaster and i need a new top end and i got 1000$ to spend what should i buy?
ok now first off if you need a new top end i would send the cylinder out to one of the builders and have them bore it .001 over then after you get the machine going.
the very first mod you should get should be an exhaust now i know you have a grand to do stuff with but if you buy everything new youll blow threw that very fast so try to find a used pipe, depending on where you ride your going to want a different kind of pipe..
heres a couple examples::
IF YOU RIDE IN TIGHT/ TECHNICAL TRAILS the pipes i would choose would have to be "pro circuit, shearer, toomey, and FMF, i know im ganna get thrown under the bus for mentioning the FMF but it is deffinatly better then stock"
NOW IF YOU RIDE IN WIDE OPEN TRAILS/ SAND the pipes i would choose would be "power pros, LRD, fat bastard pipe, dyno port"
now after the pipe youll want to get a good quality air filter you usually have 2 choices either a UNI or a K&N.
now if you want a nice low maintenance, cheap air filter then get the UNI
but if you want to buy only one air filter the entire time you own the blaster then get the K&N but when you run a K&N you also have to run a prefilter to filter the small dust...
now the next thing i would get is a new set of rear tires cause those stock baloon tire just suck, alot of people get the holeshot's, maxxis, or kenda brand tires.
and finally you might have enough money left over to get the suspension worked out what i would do is get a different rear shock:
now if you weight around 175lbs or less then get the 250r rear shock
if you weight more then 175lbs then get the 400ex shock
and then for the front i would just get a set of used works shocks either for a blaster or a banshee pretty much the same...
and after you do all this it will get ride of most of the blasters weak points and youll have a GREAT all around machine
