im lookin to make my blaster overall faster, and what is there besides an exhaust thats an easy bolt on power adder?
 
K&N air filter, Vforce reeds, are just a couple, depending on what kind of riding you do you could play around with different front and rear sprockets.
 
big bore kit, its all bolt on! bigger carb, but you dont want to get a bigger carb until you have some other performance parts already on like an exhaust and performance air filter. hmmm what else, nology hot wire and coil, ummmm..... well, its not bolt on, but a port job to your cylinder, a port job gives you excellent power gains. If you were to buy a 240 big bore kit, def. get the cylinder ported, and youd have a really powerfull blaster.

either way, the only way id go with a 240 kit is if i planned to port it. a 200cc stock cylinder with a nice port job is faster than a blaster with a 240 big bore. Porting is where its at when you want big power gains!

ive heard great things about a company called flotech, i know they do port jobs, so if your interested in a port job talk to those guys and send them your cylinder.
 
what are "reeds", srry if its a stupid question cuz like i sadi im just getting into this stuff.
 
Reed valves restrict flow of gases to a single direction and consist of thin flexible metal or fiberglass strips fixed on one end that open and close upon changing pressures across opposite sides of the valve. They operate in a similar manner to heart valves.
 
Reed valves are commonly used in two-stroke engines to control the fuel-air mixture that is admitted to the engine crankcase. As the piston rises in the cylinder the resulting vacuum opens the valve and admits the fuel-air mixture. As the piston descends, it raises the crankcase pressure causing the valve to close to retain the mixture and pressurize it for its eventual transfer through to the combustion chamber.[1]

Given the fact that they operate via air pressure alone, reed valves are not as precise as rotary valves since physical inertia causes them to open later than the optimum time. Manufacturers have attempted to address this in part by creating multi-stage reeds with smaller, more responsive reeds within larger ones that provide more volume later in the cycle.

The repeated flexing of the valve material eventually causes metal versions to fatigue and fail to seat properly while fiberglass ones will merely snap off and be digested by the engine.

i've been wondering bout this myself. i'm pretty familiar w/ 4strokers, but the blaster is the only exposure i've got to a 2stroke engine.....took the head and the cylinder off last week to decoke the piston and the head (and i totally reinstalled the rings wrong, didn't have the gaps lined up w/ the little markers right and now i need new rings!) and i got even more confused.....
i know the general function of a 2stroke, but the inside of the blasters top end kinda confused me.....so the piston moves down, shoots the fumes out the exhaust and sucks in air/fuel through the top reeds, then moves up which causes the air/fuel to get sucked into the crankcase via the bottom reeds, right?
so what happens to the air/fuel thats in the crankcase? does it somehow get sucked into the combustion chamber after it's circulated around the crank/rod/bearings?
