My 1st Blaster
- Thread starter Markblaster
- Start date
Spent some time in shed today putting parts on the bike to test fit and check what bolts, nuts, washer, spacers I need.
Swing arm plate needed a little work to make fit perfect. Hole not lining up because of welds on swing arm.
So got file out.
Fits perfect now.
Mounted up other parts.
Need to clean the pipe up more.
Need to drill out the bottom shock mount holes.
Brought a master cylinder cover / guard. Just waiting for it to get to me.
Do some more on it tomorrow. Steering stem and clamp should be here by the 19th April.

This seems to be the problem with the aluminum skid plates. You may of been better off to grind a little off the weld on the arm.
Didn't do a lot on the blaster today but made a start on the rear end.
After the 1st ride when I was washer the bike I found out that some one had broken or cut the end of the axle done and replaced the washer and nut. They also drilled a hole in the nut and axle for the pin.
Stock hubs. Thinking about changing them to a better stud pattern for more wheel options.
Stock nut and washer on left, Wrong nut and washer on right some one installed.
End that is broken or cut end. Going to be replacing the axle.
Stock axle end.
Found out its running a 40 tooth sprocket on the rear. Front is a 13 tooth.
Test fitted the stator cover. BLING BLING.

Was thinking orange frame and CF fenders but not sure now after surfing net and seeing lots of orange frames. All I know at this stage is the frame will be BRIGHT.

Looks like the end that axle is broken where the hols for the cotter pin is? Never seen that on a blaster before, NOT safe replace it!

Yes it did , not funny! lolI didn't want to open the bag of bling bolts yet.
I really dig the orange & stator cover Mark! looks like you're making some good progress and doing it RIGHT
Mark. I love following your posts. Great write ups, great work, amaizing fab skillz. I do want to tjank you for some help with getting frame gussets available in the states. I think you should start making some stuff available in quantity! Love the clear pump cover idea, your outlined cover, and the idea to shoryen the pump tube! The gussets look great installed. Your like a never ending robot pumping out impressive stuff!
No problem dude happy to help out. Yeah the clear cover is a cool idea and would be mint out of some 10mm thick acrylic with a polished edge. Shortening the pump tube was 79 broncos idea and has a thread about it, Is a nice simple thing to do to tidy it up.
Thanks will keep it coming.
Striped the axle tonight.
Got my steering stem and clamp today. Ordered a OMI Greaseable Steering Stem Mount.
Also rear end is stripped.

Been in contact with ASR about A arms and I'm getting: American Star PRO X Long Travel Racing A-Arms
They are upgrading the tie rods for me to the: American Star Yamaha Blaster 200 MX PRO Chromoly Racing Tie Rods & Ends! They are the 12mm rod ends.
Need to get brake line clamps also.

Just ordered brake line clamps from Alba, I personally thought they looked the best
Remember with new arms you need me brake lines that match the length! I also ordered the speed lines that ASR sells
