[Blasterdude27]

A a/m pipe and air filter.............

 

[blasters/banshees]

[blasterboy91]

well look at the mods you got. it easily explains why your smoking them.

The exhaust should help, but you are going BACKWARDS with those gears!, run like 13/42 with those tires.

 

[92blaster]

i think he has it right stock is 13/40 and he has stock size tires so he is going for more speed so you increase the front size and in the rear you decrease the sprocket size for speed with the gearing you giving him wrench man he will be more towards low end/ i got 13/39 on mine and it goes faster than before..

well yamaha DID make the 250 to replace the blaster so id hope they would be even stock for stock

 

[darealblaster]

stock for stock they are even!!! it all depends on rider and tuning of the machine....pfft the motor of a 250 could be heavily modified but a mild modified blaster will beat it if tis not tuned right, its all variables. Why does the blaster sometimes beat the raptor stock for stock? simple, blaster has 21 inch rear tires and the raptor has 19's...do the math. I stand that they are equal,depends on rider,the raptor does have ALOT more torque than the blaster.

you live in oregon? sand lake is good for drag racing, pretty small though

Blasters DON'T! have enough power to pull those gears with TALL tires!, I went from 13/40 to 13/41 and now I can use sixth gear!, with the stock gearing it would just bog down!, If you guys had tall tires that would provide traction (PADDLE TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!) you would now what I'm talking about!

Because of U.S. government emissions requirements, the Blaster was discontinued for 2007 and was replaced by the entry-level Yamaha Raptor 250, which uses a cleaner-burning, less powerful four-stroke engine.

you would be abile to get away with taller gears if you rode on hard surfaces like dirt trails.
theres only two possibilitys why you gear like that.
#1 you ride sand and sand makes every machine bog more then hard pack
#2 your a REALLY fat guy

but im ganna go with #1

 

[yfz450bence]

yes at the dunes i wouldnt gear it up any more than stock, 6th just wont pull with paddles.
