Is $600 a good price for a 96?

[Decal-Pros]

I have been out of the blaster scene for a few years now... I'm thinking of buying another one.

I have come across a 96 with a 240 big bore kit & needs tranny work.

What would you pay?

Thanks for any info.

go take a real good look at it. And what exactly is wrong with the tranny? if it doesnt look to bad sure go ahead. But i used to have a 96 with a tranny issue. in 2 years the tranny had to be rebuilt twice. So i sold it. but its up to you but yeah if it is truely a 240 bbk go ahead

You have to check closely that it is a 240. To many think a .040 overbore = 240cc. Also depends on condition of rest of it

Any tips on what to look for? Thanks everyone for your input so far.

if it is a true 240bbk, with life left on the cylinder,(you only get 3 overbores on the bbk's) compression is good and the rest of the bike is in good condition, i wouldnt let a lil tranny problems worry me, thats all fixable

here ya go eric..................

Exactly how the video says it, look for either "Y-1" or "Y-2" on the outside of the intake port. If you see them, that means he's a liar. If you don't see them, it is a 240 BBK.


Also, check to make sure he didn't grind it off himself!

600 bucks isent too bad for a blaster and the tranny issues are not much work
parts bikes are dreams

paid 700 for my 96 needed a lil carb and reed work had ugly tall tires on rear and spray painted plastic but in good shape other wise so about the same

If it come with the bbk 600 bucks isnt to bad...

I say go for it. Maybe you will get lucky and have one of the top line BBK's.

I have one thing to add. My friend used to have a blaster with a true vitos 240 bbk but sold it. While riding i had my stock 96 besides his bbk 240 and his cylinder and head had this greyish color while the stock is all black. Another thing to look for. And usually blasters with big bore kits have a bigger carb to.

Is or was there ever a BB drop in liner for a machined stock cylinder?

Thanks for all the info guys! I'm going to try & get out of the shop early on Monday & go take a look.

It is only about a 2 hour drive from here.

He did say: The last time he was ridin' It just locked up & would not shift...
Sounds like the fork to me.

Any thoughts?
