New To Yamaha Blasters

[brichardson]

hello,
im new to all quads and i have only rode ATVs twice, and i am trying to sell my gokart on craigslist and one guy offered me a Blaster for trade its either a 200 or 250ccs (dont remember which) and i might do the trade, but I dont know if the quad is going to be good for me, so i was jus wondering how fast they go, seat height, and maintainence I am 16, 5'11" and 200 pounds i will be doing trail riding and not racing, but there will be some mud and water (about 1 to 2 feet deep) and some small hills, and also alot of farmland. So if anyone can fill me in on this quad it will be really aprecieated.

i would trade a blaster for a go-kart. I gave up my go kart for a blaster. I am 5'11" and 250 and my blaster hauls me around. I do have some slight suspension mods to my quad. Take a look at my signature. cost me about $600.00 and makes a world of difference.

does anyone know how to go about painting my frame. I want to paint the frame metallic red and the skid plates, a arms, swinarm black both glossed and i wanted to know if i gotta sand it down first or sumthin

ya you could hand it, but with all the shard corners and places for botls that would take a while. im gonna paint my frame soon, and i was gonna use paint stripper to remove all the paint down to the metal.
