no powerband?

[haydstah]

ive had my blaster for awhile now and it has never reaally seemed to have the powerband people talk about like it has power but it doesnt seem to have that power tht kicks in and lifts the tires up it does in 2 and (3 sometimes) but thats justt from holding it to the bar. so is there anythong i can do to make my powerband more snappy so i can really feel it kick in

What all mods do you have?

 

[Blaaster]

Tyre size and sprocket gearing also come into the equasion.

If it is stock and lifting the front wheels in third, thats not a bad effort.

 

[Blaner]

mmm, do you have a friend with a blaster you can compare it to? its hard to say if there is something wrong with yours or not. Perhaps your throttle stopper is turned in!!! check on the throttle box on the handle bars, turn out the bolt! just a thought

 

[haydstah]

right now all its has is boyessen reeds and a fmf power core 2 pipe

 

[haydstah]

the gearing is 14 on the front and i think a 40 on back and i have 22'' tires

check your jetting, you will need about a 280 main jet in there. while you at it, give the carb a once over and clean it out

 

[88blasterman]

is your pipe just the silencer or do you have a full fmf system?

 

[Blaner]

just read your other thread, if you broke a piston and are hearing pinging noises and you dont know your jetting, that right there is your problem. open the carb look at the vrass main jet and report back. dont ride it untill you jet it!!

 

[haydstah]

the full fmf system qand its been like a year and even befor i blew it up it had that pinging noise so im not sure if it was rebulit befor i bought it. and it doesnt seem to have a poweer loss just no powerband

Maybe it's broken, those bands get brittle with age.

Sorry, just could not resist!I:II:II:I

where would you buy a replacement?

Due to the age of the Blasters they have been out of production for many years, you need to fabricate your own with elastic from your Grannies knickers.

 

[haydstah]

so much for a serious answer haha

 

[Buffalowinger]

I have the same setup in mine, and it has no problem pulling up in 1st. you could have an air leak somewhere. Or like mentioned earlier, you may need a larger jet for that setup.

Purple ones make u faster!

 

[haydstah]

i think it might be in my jetting mine will lift up in 1st 2nd and somtimes 3rd.

The answer fitted the question.

 

[Blaaster]

The suspense is killing me.

What main jet is in there?
