hello new member here..

This is hard to believe but i swear this is TRUE 100% lol.. i just picked up a 1997 Yamaha blaster bone stock with only 15 minutes run time on the original engine.. my cousin bought this quad in 97 from the dealer where i live on Staten island for his girlfriend(at the time)to ride with him because he had a banshee.. anyway he bought it and the day he got it she drove it in the street for about 10-15 minutes then they put it in the garage and NEVER took it out again.. its been sitting in the garage since 97 and today i finally convinced him to give it to me so i can enjoy it instead of letting it sit another 10 years without being used.. while its been sitting my cousin did in fact remove the gas and have the switch in the off position.. now i have it in my garage what steps should i take before trying to start this.. should i take off the carb and check anything or should i go ahead and just add fresh gas clean oil and give it a-go? REMEMBER its been sitting since 97 so i would like some advise before i mess anything up

This bike is in 100% MINT condition tires plastic everything is mint still has all the original warning stickers even the year sticker thats how fresh this atv is.. i was wondering if i was to sell this how much i would ask or how much i could ask..

thanks in advance for those who helpI:I

check out my pictures.. this was when it was in his garage !!

if it was me i would prolly pull the carb off and give it a cleaning anyway, possibly a carb rebuild. change the fluids and throw some fresh gas in and go from there.

I would pull the carb and just check it for trash. but it should be clean unless he didn't drain the bowl on the carb. change the oil. fresh plug. I would possibly put a little mixed gas down the spark plug hole. oh wait you still have the oil injection probably. make sure it is primed.

1,500 maybe. ...............

I agree 1500 bux,,if it was a 2003+ it would be worth more because of the Hydro brake set up.

i dont wana start mixing the gas and oil i did have a 03 blaster that was worked(i bought it like that) that you had to mix the gas and oil i wana keep this bike mostly stock only looking to get new rear tires(hole shots) an paint the rims black and centers yellow to match the bike and maybe a pipe but i relle dont care about the pipe.. i just wana get it started first so im guessing everything should be fine just remove the carb and check it out? thats my biggest problem if its a problem correct? everything else should be fine after fresh gas oil change and oiling the little things up and new spark plug?

**if you or any of your friends are looking for a fresh bike i may consider selling it im located in staten island ny an would take 1300 for it lol

What a nice score man.

 

[Awk08]

no, no, no
you can't have your cousin give you a brand new bike, then turn around and sale it for a profit, he might as well handed you $1500 cash, or bought you new ghetto rims for your truck and kept the bike in his garage
thats a dirty move in my book

clean carb,and i'm not sure how, but your gonna need to make sure that oil injection is primed and pumping oil into the carb, or your gonna fry it and cut it's "dirty sale" worth in half

condition goes without saying, it's a brand new, but still just a stock blaster
and i can remember when most yamaha dirt machines were yellow, not like the rainbow of skittles colors that happened in the 90's
all yamaha's should be yellow, period, honda's red, kawi's green and zukis'.........well they shoulda been brown, hahahaaaa

I wouldent sell it period but if you were you could get an easy $1000 out of a stock blaster with no problems. But if it were me and I hadto sell it I'd put say $1,300 take care of it not dent the front bumber and let it sit pretty and let all the guys oogle it.(shrug)

All the above and make sure your brakes work good before you jump on it and ride. If he just gave it to you, it would be low to sell it.
