In gear on hill and every like 10 seconds it moves back 1 inch?

[05BlasterManiac]

Hello! I have a 05 Yamaha Blaster and I notice that when I have it in gear on a slant or a hill, the bike will make like a air compression sound and shift back like a half a inch and stop and 10 seconds later it will repeat the process. I am clueless of what it could be. I'm thinking it could maybe be the clutch, not sure? Please post up of what you think it could be.

Thanks!

That's perfectly normal. It should do the same thing forwards or backwards. It's just the engine turning over because the wheels are turning in gear. Your set!

That's normal. When you put it in gear, you are loading the drivetrain against the engine. With the engine off, it's effectively a brake. However, the compression rings are designed to seal under high speed and pressure, not low speed and low pressure and "seep" the trapped air by them. The engine is actually being turned over by the wheels about once every 10 seconds as the air seeps past the rings. Perfectly normal!

I recommend repairing/adjusting the rear caliper and using the parking brake feature instead of trying to use the engine to hold it back...

What he said^^^^^^^ the engine is turning over and you're hearing it pump air through it.

Here's a better idea, screw the sissy parking brake crap. Just don't park on a hill.

Sometimes that's not always an option, and you know it! I:I

park brakes never work like they should. i have taken all the funny things like that off. park brake, key, headlight, oil light....

my rules:

BRAKES:stop at an angle on a hill/find a rock to chock a wheel (preferrably leuco gabbro )...or dont stop at all (my personal favorite)

HEAD LIGHT: only ride while the sun is up, if you have to ride at night where the hang are you going in the first place!??

KEY: park where skebangers cant steal your bike, pull off the spark plug lead or dont stop at all. Beside if someone wanted to steal your bike they will spend 20min looking for the key which you removed and so you will have the opportunity to bash them over the head with tree.

OIL LIGHT: premix...why do you need a light to tell you the oil is finished anyway? that light should be in your brain and go on before you even start the bike

Quite funny hey, blasters are sparsely vegetated with "civilized goodies" and then we go and rip them off anyway...

Sorry i guess this doesnt really help you, i just felt some inspirational thoughts coming on

Great analogy! I too use a brick/tree/root! Not just for holding the blasty back for bashing too!

Lol funny stuff. Even though it didn't help me, I had a good laugh out of it. I did also hear about taking the whole parking brake system out, but I forgot the part that i needed to add on the handle bar and what other parts needs to get added to the rear? Thanks for the reply guys!

Hill parking is pretty easy, one way a hill goes up, the other way the hill goes down.

90 degs away from both up and down a hill is level.

Park on the level, problem solved!

Not such a great idea, in my opinion. Hills are just part of the everyday riding terrain, and only a sissy would avoid a hill . Also the parking brake helps secure the quad while using ratchet straps when trailering. Just say'n.....
