Can we get a newbie forum?

[PullOvr]

I am new to quads, but have 10 years experience on a street motorcycle. I am working on rebuilding a engine on a 1989 Blaster (was my friend's Blaster). This site is great, but there are A LOT of terms I just can't figure out or can't find the explination by searching. For example, WTF is a "240 kit"? This is just one of may examples.

It seems like a valid request since other forums I have been on in the past always have a newbie forum.

240 kit is a "BBK" a.k.a "big bore kit"...blaster stock is a 200, so adding 44 more cc's is major...just chime in and ask what something stands for...thats what this site is for, to help others bro...

Yeap just ask what you need, but use the search feature first. So many questions can be answered if you search first, but if you cant find your answer just ask were glad to help.

i still dont understand why they call it a 240 kit, when you get 244cc's...

 

[Blasterdude27]

Its actully more like 230 something cc's

a 240 kit will actually give you 232cc if put a +3 stroker then youll have a 244cc blasty

^^^i know less then i though...bummer^^^

 

[yes se-r]

they always round the numbers..the blaster stock is 198ccs no? it would be funny if they wrote "blaster 198, grizzly 658" lol... etc

Hang in there bro, youll catch on quick. I came in here blind and a couple months later have learned a huge amount, from the great and well versed people that are apart of this forum. I been rebuilding my 89 blasty too and have been through about everything on it. Need help just ask. "The only dumb question is the one thats never asked."
Welcome to the forum!!!!!!!!!

damn this would be a good thing to add to my http://www.blasterforum.com/off-topic-7/almost-everything-you-need-know-about-blasters-14622/ thread. i could have a key terms section.

89custom and everybody,
I just found the above thread last night after my original post. That did help a lot.

Newbie forum may have been the wrong term. A "key terms" is what I am looking for. Somewhere a newbie can go to learn what a "240 kit" is, for example.

I know everyone here is very helpful, but I don't want to see every newbie that comes to the site asking basic questions over and over again. B)

Is there a "key terms" floating around somewhere?
