Well I picked this blaster up off Craigslist for 450 was told it needed a kickstart kinda knew better then that even tho I knew nothing about 4 wheelers at the time the motor is currently at a shop getting rebuilt new piston,cylinder,shift shaft assembly all seals was told there was a paper clip being used as a circlip for the wrist pin that's what scored the cyl was also told that only thing that was assembled right was the counter balance and the trans which they prob didn't disassemble thank god so I figured while it's in the shop I would break down the blaster and make her look good again cuz I was not riding a orange blue red and gold quad as I quickly found out this wasn't going to be a cheap hobby hoping to have it done by spring so here goes this is what I started with

First off welcome ! Lots of good pple and info here. I will be tuned into your build as well.

(a paper clip for a circlip ? :eek:)
 
Welcome, lots of good people and great advice here. I kinda like that blue frame, but the rest should go lol. Have you stood it up to check out the frame, something looks a tweaked in the first pic, maybe just the bumper

Yea it's the bumper the frame does have a spot where it was repaired but it's on the back if I had to guess with the rear grab bar missing and where the frame was repaired I'm gunna say it was wheelee'd unexpectedly? Lol
 
i suggest cutting your plug wire down a little bit. i see it hanging way down. no need for it to wrap around the engine lol

Welcome
Lol I threw it right in the trash pile cuz it didn't fit the br8es plug and I would rather have a brand new one with a freshly rebuilt motor and the orange don't really go with the red n blk theme I have going any suggestions on a new one or are they all they all the same
