do a plug check to make sure the jetting is right, the guy may not have rejetted for the pipe.

if the price is right, sure. Blaster's are pretty easy to work on since theres not much to them.

sounds pretty minor. a basic top end rebuild; piston, rings, gaskets, wrist pin and roller bearing. new plug is also recommended. we're looking at like $130 or so.
so a blaster for like $640 total. not bad!!
