I have never had an ATV and know very little about them... I recently got a 1999 Blaster. It seems to run good, and seems strong. But I assume that the maintenance is not up on it. What should I do to catch the maintenance up? Sparkplug? oil? filters? Thanks.

Change the oil, check and clean air filter, new plug, check the color of your old plug , check it over real good to look for missing/ loose nits and bolts. Check all bearings, check your chain for wear and looseness. It would be well worth learning how to do plug chops and leakdown tests.

in my oppinion there are 3 important things to look at if you buy a blaster
1 piston
2 clutch basket
3 big end bearing
if your piston is worn it breaks and peaces of alluminium can make a hole in your cases seen it happen at least 4 times also if your clutch basket is worn it breaks in to peaces and again can make a hole in the case seen it more than 3 times
to check these things out you only have to buy 3 cheap gaskets
if you remove the cylinder you can check the piston wear and the bigend bearing and if you remove the cluch cover you can check on the wear of the cluch basket if it has deep dents where it touches the cluch plates it is worn

Tires, suspension, and brakes always come first for safety.... Use common sense, check bolts make sure they are tight, not stripped or missing. After that check the motor out like mentioned above...
