Hi guys, im totally new to the forum, but am slowly figuring it out. Anyways, i bought a 02 blaster yesterday for $500. It does run, but needs a lil work. I have driven it around the cul-de-sac for a test spin. It will start and run, but bogs down without the choke being on. Carb problem? This is my first project bike, leave any info reguarding things i should look into and ask questions. Thanks!!!
New project: 02 blaster

i think that means you need a carb cleaning but not for sure on that
EDIT: i see you have flipped the front wheels for a wider stance already, nice!!
Welcome , first order of business would be to pull your carb and figure out your jetting numbers , Figure out what mods you have and what you should be close to on jetting and research plug chops and also Leak down tests , Best advice is to read !
the front wheels are flipped to give a wider stance therefore a sturdier safer ride. clean the carb aand check the jets
check the jetting before you ride it. a leak down to if you really wann be safe, and get some front fenders if you ride a lot of mud and dont wanna get muddy. i have no fronts but i ride alot of sand dunes
edit: get a clymers manual forsure!! and cleaning the carb is a breeze just read up on it before you do it
Sweet, thanks. Once i get the thing running, i plan on maybe boring it out. I do a lot of trail riding, but also a lot of riding around the farm really fast/stunting. I was wondering what list of mods you guys would recommend doing. Keep in mind i have about a $500 budget
Well you could Talk to someone about getting some port work done , or a Redesigned head for More power and better torque curve !
Alright cool and thanks. Another question that has kinda been concerning me is do you think the guy scammed me? Ive read about things to watch out for and a few things that seemed abnormal was the air intake hose being off, and the clutch cable missing. Once i got it home i powershifted up to 2nd gear, so at least i know the tranny is working properly. I just hope the clutch isnt going out. I guess ill just have to wait and find out wed. when the new cable comes in.
Ill look more into that when i get the cable. Also this is my first two stroke. Just curious this thing does have a rev limiter right? i just dont want to end up blowing the engine. Yes, i have ridden my friends cr85, but this is older and i just want to be sure it has one before i go off and over rev it and blow the engine.
its the tors your talking about, throttle over ride system. its shuts it down if the throttle is stuck wide open i believe
