I see whats coming, teeeeheeee!!!
Welcome Tony! Let us know what you need help with and we can help you out!
Well i think it could be partly to blame on sh*tty breaks, i just fixed my rear breaks but now my frount breaks could use some work.
I was following a buddy, with some good distance it was dusty, then a large bump came out of nowhere. The bump was like foot and a half tall with a 45 degree angle or better on it. I was going about 30-40MPH and i didnt see or think about myself stopping. I hit it and the front tires went up no problem but when my rear tires hit the bump it sent the blaster and me fliping forwards onto large gravel rocks... What i kindof remember is i landed on the back of my head (Good thing for helmets) and slide on my back. Then well i was flying i remember my blaster rolling past me and then it landed upside down Now ive had bad headachs my back is all torn up, but yet my jacket has no rips in it...
I drove it back but heres some parts that will need replaceing
Handle bars ar bent
Clutch perch is almost completly broke
Break perch is bent, possible fixable
headligh is swayed off and bent
key ignition got ripped out
The rear grab bar is bent
Either the axil bent, the hub bent or the rim bent but the right rear tire wobbles alittle.
Now i have a question, When i ride the blaster i feel like i just bounce off of everything. Is there a was to soften up the stock shock so they have more give? I rode my buddies 660 raptor that day and i like that the suspension had give to it and rode smooth. I feel like this might have been part of the problem for the crash. And i have parts to fix the front breaks now.

Ugh.... 300 post?!
Yeah, but no pics here. I was hurting to bad at the time to worrie about pictures. And everything is half fixed or been tired to bend back. Thats how i had to limp it home. And i could take pics of my back now, but it doesnt look nearly as bad as it did sunday.
Hey everyone again! Im now a blaster owner again! Since last time ive owned a banshee and a ltr 450. Now im back to a blaster haha. I bought one with some aftermarket parts that needed a top end, its rebuilt now and im in the break in process.
I rebuilt it 1mm over with pro X, rebuilt the carb, ported and polished it, milled the head to 155psi and rebuilt the clutch. Its got FMF pipe and boyesen dual stage reeds also. Should rip pretty good once it fully broken in.
There is some random stuff i need to get it for it to have it fully working. I got this thing mostly in parts, but i still cant post in the For sale threads
So if Herpderplol could text me if he see this, im not too far away from you
763-482-2230
Mostly right now i need a new carb intake boot(maybe both side of carb but forsure the intake side) and my carb cap is semi stripped out
Good to see you guys again!
