Say what? I'm confused here. :-/
Stock for stock the 300ex is a lot wider than the narrow Blaster. If you are racing both are going to need extended A-arms in most cases. What 250 4-stroke engine is making 35hp stock? The 300ex only makes like 16hp stock. I've seen a few 40+hp 300ex engines, but they had major $$$ into them. The 300ex I rode rides WAAAAY lower than my Blaster does as well. Maybe the preload was just turned way down.
I call BS. Stick with the 300 man, more reliable, more torque, better quality (HONDA).....list goes on and on. All a 300ex is a 250x with a larger head.....
let me correct myself, 300ex has a different stroke, but same bore....piston cannot be used though because of the way the pin is.
i call bs on 300ex being more reliable and better quality........
a 300ex is realy only 285cc'ss i believe??
You wanna argue that a trail 300cc 4 stroke quad is less reliable than any other 2 stroke. I think not! 7000rpm vs. 10,000.....
i just looked it up there realy 282cc's....
never said it was less reliable but imo its not more reliable then a blaster.
people who say that realy just dont know how to maintain a 2 stroke
Lets put something to test as an example.....
Take a crf250r and a cr125, on a 125, you may get a full year of racing, on a crf250r, you may get 2 years.....
any 4 stroke is more reliable than a 2 smoke....dont wanna start stuff......just stating my facts. proven fact straight from Mickey Dunlap (FST) that 2 smokes arent as reliable, doesnt matter if its maintain perfect, any 2 stroke you ride to its full potential, will go within a year....so if you are gettin more than 2 years out of your blaster, you're obviously not riding it hard at all..
i agree that is why you rarly see a 4 stroke with a blown top end blasters its hard to find them actually running
id like to go on first by saying i do ride my blaster hard, screaming everywhere i go ive got a year on my pistion in great shape.
you can go on and say whatever you want about 4 strokes being more reliable.
when not maintained like most two stroke because people dont know what there doing will go just as quick.
im realy geting tired of the 4 strokes being more reliable stuff being preached latley.
im not going to crowd up this thread anymore with this say what you want about 4 strokes being better imo that is bs
Truth is, its not just blasters, it most all 2 strokes...and i dont hate 2 strokes by anymeans, i am actually trading my blaster for a 91' suzuki lt250r....
like i said 4 strokes are more reliable and will last longer 2 strokes are rpm happy but 4 strokes are re torqey that is why i am switching my motor
if a 2stroke is jetted right and looked after it will last many years ,if a 4t is running even a little bit lean its not half as bad as 2t as on a 2t it will effect how much oil gets to the piston and 4strokes will last longer on a top end but are alot dearer to fix when break ,oppsite on 2stroke though with bottom end,2strokes will last way longer on bottom ends then 4strokes!
