Took the Blasters down to the lake today. Had a nice lunch there with the Mrs. 13 miles round trip.

Another pic down by the lake. This Blaster has turned in to my daily driver lol. I drive it to work and back, to get the mail, cigarettes, pretty much whenever I can.
So I'm pretty sure I have a slight knock or piston slap in my Blaster. My wife's runs much smoother than mine. The tick sounds like it's coming from the top end. Based on what I have learned from reading here I should invest in a leak down tester, and a compression tester. I should probably pull the head and check for slop/play in the piston as well. I am assuming the cylinder needs to be bored to a new piston. Both Blasters are 100% stock, no work except regular maintenance. My wifes Blaster wasn't ridden as hard as mine I'm thinking. Hers does need new front wheel bearingsb, but that looks to be an easy task.
So have I done my homework? Is there something I may have missed?

Its about time someone did!
While pulling the head before a leaktest is technically a no-no. It shouldnt hurt anything.
Wiseco piston kit has been ordered, .20 over stock. Renthal chain and sprocket kit are coming too. Boots and roost protectors are coming for both of us. Her wheel bearings have been ordered plus new handlebar grips for both Blasters. Things are coming together over here. I'll be starting a tear down/ rebuild thread shortly.
