New to BlasterForum

[Nightman]

But not new to Blasters. I bought a Blaster brand new when they came out in 1988. It was Yamaha Blue with white fenders and Yellow shocks. I was 14 at the time.

Fast Forward to the present.

I now have kids (12 and 14) and they are moving up from a Yamaha 4 zinger 60cc. My first thought was a Blaster of course! I searched Craigslist for a couple of weeks, then found one that would work just fine.

I went and bought it. As it turns out, you all may know the machine. It is Herpderplol's old black and red 03.

So here I am, repairing, restoring, and upgrading to suit me and my kids (well mostly me lol). It was fine the way I bought it other than some general tweaks, I just want to make it my own.

So that's my story and I'm stickin' to it

Lol, you do work for yourself on that and your kids are gonna fly off the back I:I

the twist throttle that is on is a brand new one that i sold to him and then he put it on! post some pics of it!

 

[Nightman]

Actually, I swapped it out until the kids get used to the clutch. They aren't experienced enough for the twisty.

But it sure is sweet. Pro taper grips and all! Can't post pics until Sunday evening, as I travel for work and am in Minneapolis/St.Paul until then. But then I have 8 days off in a row to get serious about my tweaking!!

WELCOME TO THE FORUM !
That quad is sexy but the first mod I do to it is throw that twist throttle away and put a normal one because it is better for the kids to learn
GOOD LUCK WITH IT I:I

i learned on a twister, its pretty simple just take it easy at first

 

[Nightman]

Yes, the twister is easy, I agree. The issue I have is that it is a little bit too easy for the wheeler to pull away and your hand to twist further. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking them one bit, just one step at a time for new blaster riders.

 

[Herpderplol]

I agree with that, I got used to a clutch with thumb first... Although I did ride a few bikes before but nothing serious...
