First blaster ever

yeah i dropped the guy an email...the springs are 25 a piece straight from works. and i need to rebuild the bushing which i expected. hopefully i can get a partial refund to cover it. guy has almost a perfect feedback score so hopefully he makes it right

seller claims that he didn't notice that the springs were broken and wants to work something out. we'll see what comes out of it.
 
more parts! got front brake cables with a perch and shorty lever (thanks super noober!) and got my 05 bearing carrier....and the mailman is still scared sh*tless of my dog hahaha
 
thanks man.....gonna try to finish the wiring tonight, fix the exhaust bolt holes on the jug for the exhaust and then polish up that FMF silencer
 
ok, put time serts in the exhaust bolt holes, and did the ghetto bar raise....i can't believe how much different that made it feel now i'm just waiting on a few more things from the yamaha dealer and members on here...but its coming along pretty well, need to polish up my silencer and paint the pipe to make that look as good as that yz85 one came out. can't wait until i can just go rip on this thing....i'm itching bad bought it in october lol.

moveing right along man!! sucks about the works but thats the joy of egay, at least it sounds like the seller is going to do something for ya. i hear ya on the itching, when i first got mine it was november and i didnt get it all ready to ride untill june..... that first ride when you realize that what you built from nothing actually works and is fun is a awesome feeling lol.
 
i think i'm gonna run out and get a gas can and some oil today and put the motor back in it and see if it'll start :D don't have a chain on because i havent been able to swap the axle carrier and get my new chain adjusters yet
 
well......tried to start it and i'm getting absolutely no spark...time to try to trouble shoot with no test light or ohm meter
 
i'm gonna go over them again, but i got it to fire, but the killswitch doesnt work, i think that might be part of my problem
 
IT LIVES GUYS!!!!! it sounds really mean....gotta adjust the clutch now tho, when i pull it in the sprocket doesn't stop spinning...
 
ok thats good to know. can't wait till next weekend when i can rip it around my parent's place. gonna try to bet a banshee or other wider axle this week if i can
