Pull the airbox lid off.
Find an FMF pipe (or you can spend more on a Toomey or something better)
Rejet your carb.
+4 timing mod (requires special tools and wouldnt recommend it if you arent mechanically inclined)

Just doing that will make your Blaster feel WAY faster than stock.

how do i take the airbox lid off....i tink mine has a modded air filter sorry i no nufin bot them iv only had 1 a week

 

[blaster01]

blasters can be made pretty snappy machines with only a pipe, and airfilter

just remember. ANYTIME you do something for performance you WILL need to go up sizes on the main jet. when you take your lid off you should go at least one size up , but i would go 2 sizes up first.

i understand how carbs work! but do u mean buy new bigger jets?

 

[Luni]

You dont understand how carbs work if you have to ask what do we mean by bigger jets.

In your carb there is a Pilot Jet and theres a Main Jet.

Usually when you do a modification like described above, you have to raise your Main Jet to one size bigger.

Airbor is under the seat. If you a lid there will be a flat cover held on by four screws. If you can see your filter when you take the seat off, then it's already gone. First thing, replace the air filter with a good aftermarket one, K&N, UNI, No-Toil, etc.

A good aftermarket pipe will do the most for your performance after opening the airbox, but as others mentioned, don't forget to put in a larger main jet. There is no better way to seize a good engine than leaning it out with go-fast-goodies.

The best way to sieze a blaster is to make significant changes to airflow, and only think about the main jet. Most siezures occur for 2 reasons...

1. airleaks

2. lean mid throttle position

think about everyone you know that has seized a bike.. they are screaming along wide open, they let off for a second and screech. if your needle is lean and your running wide open, the main jet flows the fuel, but as soon as you back off, the needle causes a lean condition and can cause an instant and radical temp spike. If the main is jetted right you only have about a 100~150 temp range before you melt the piston. so when you back off and the piston temp instantly jumps 200 degrees, bye-bye.....
You actually want the needle a little rice than the main, so backing off cools the motor slightly.

so what needle position do you prefer phragle? ive got mine on 2nd clip down now.

You make an excellent point, phragle. I guess I was trying to make the quick answer. There is no way I would ignore the mid, I just adjust that last, after adjusting the idle (pilot) and top-end (main).
