First let me say y'all have a great forum with a ton of information. I really didn't research the Yamaha Blaster before picking one up, I was just looking for a bike that my son (12) and I could rebuild but I have been pleasantly surprised with how much of a following this model has. Its a 1998 and Im sure I will have a mountain of questions in the coming weeks and months but just wanted to join up and say hi before I started bombing the boards with ludicrous questions. Thanks for reading my post
