21.-Meir NumberPlate
22.-Meir Numbers
23.-Renthal Bars
24.-Brand New PillowTop Grips

I went to go see the quad today and it looks nice and everything but I have 2 problems. One is that the kid said he drained it of gas and oil for the winter so he couldnt start it. I think this is a little fishy, although it seems reasonable to do, but if you're trying to sell something usually someone would want to see it run. It has compression and all but I'm still iffy about buying something I never saw run. He said it also needs to be jetted, but he showed me he has the jets already he just didnt get around to doing it. My second problem is that the frame he said is a "custom motoworks racing frame" and it does not come with a title. So please give me advice as to what I should do.

if you want to register it you need a title, a bill of sale might get it done youneed to check local laws. just take some gas mixed up at 32-1 and tell him you want to see it run. if he says no pass on it

 

[brandoz28]

ask him if you can bring some premixed gas out so you can fire it....if he says no leave it lay. don't know about the custom frame thing either. do you have pics?

 

[blastermaster01]

Well you could take some pre mix lol. and jetting isn't that hard at all and Im sure if you got the receipts or some thing the proof of purchase of the frame u could get a title

 

[npan1029]

yeah thanks guys. i was thinking about bringing some gas there on friday, which is what i just emailed him saying. he answered and said thats good with him so i feel kind of relieved about that issue. Here are a few pictures of the quad. Sorry you cant really see the frame that well.

 

[tyler1blaster]

looks like the stock frame...... i say if he writes a bill of sale and it runs go for it!

 

[npan1029]

yeah i thought it looked like the stock frame but it has some kind of supports on it (you can see them in the 3rd picture right above the footpeg) and more motor mounts in the front that you cant see. its weird but overall it looked nice to me today. im not a mechanic or anything so thats why i wanted to get some opinions on it.

 

[brandoz28]

yeah, it might be that it was just gusseted up. looks like a pretty nice bike tho man.

 

[npan1029]

thanks a lot for the help. i will post on here on friday to let you know how it goes (hopefully it goes well).

 

[npan1029]

i bought the blaster today. started it up and everything. it didnt idle without the choke on cause it needs to be jetted. i got it home and put my hand under the motor and there was a lot of oil. i asked the kid what it was from and he said it spilt when he drained it. i dont know about that i hope theres not a crack in the case or something....

keep us posted!!!

Clean the oil up from underneath. You can stand it up on the grap bar. Than check to see if you get any more oil drips.

nice quad

[npan1029]

well i looked at it and saw the oil was dripping from the exhaust and running down under the motor. im hoping that's the only place the oil is coming from and there is no actual crack so im going to clean it up and check it out. i wanted to know what i should do about jetting too...he gave me jets for the quad but they are the ones for if im running it without an air box. if i did hook up the air box i would need different jets right?

If it is leaking from the exhaust I would check the exhaust gasket.

If you are going to run the airbox you will have to jet down.

With the FMF pipe they call for a 260 main and a 32.5 pilot with the needle on the 3rd spot from the top. They also recommend running with the airbox lid off.

I have another question does it smoke bad at all and are you losing gearbox oil?

 

[npan1029]

ok so i cant use the jets the kid gave me when i bought it. i dont think it really smokes that bad. im not sure if im losing gearbox oil because he said he drained most of it so it wasnt sitting all winter. im going to go buy some and put it in. what kind of oil do you recommend and how much do i put in?

For the oil I use Pensoil 10w40. I change it after every ride. Cheap insurance. But guys use ATF, Belray gear save and so on.
for the amount there is a sight glass on the cluch side of the motor. You should fill it up to the lines on the sides of the sight glass. It is between 650 and 700ml.

As for the jetts I gave you the stock carb numbers I forgot it had a bigger carb. Do you know what it is jetted at now and what are the jets he gave you?

 

[npan1029]

i have no clue what its jetted at right now. the jets he gave me is a 140 main jet a 40 pilot jet, but he said those are the jets for if i was running it without an air box and i really do want to run an airbox. i need to get the boot first and a different air filter.

 

[fioz600r]

You should take the carb off and check the jets. But once you get an airbox you will have to jet down.

As for an airfilter I recommend Uni dual stage.

For the intake tube you can look on here in the forsale thread or put up a wanted to buy thread in the wanted to buy section or check eBay.
