As some of you may know, I've been working on my blaster for a couple of months. My blaster was starting very hard, didn't have any power and was vibrating pretty bad. I called up Mr. Ken Oconnor and he said he'd fix it. So while he was doing the motor I stripped it down, blasted the frame, repainted the plastics, added a 4 inch t rock swingarm, Awk's gsxr brakes, Factory 7 air box, F 7 pipe, v force reeds, intake, Keihin 35 mm pwk, and 400 ex rear shock. Ken found some problems with my engine and corrected them . Now I've got a +3 stroker , head mod, aggressive porting, lightened flywheel and a new clutch. I used a temp gun to show how easy this thing starts when cold ( the first time starting it today was in the vid ).

Sorry bout the music , I didn't think the camera would pick it up .

sorry bout the music??? that was pantera. no apologies needed.


and that was me that replied on youtube. lol
 
Thanks guys, I'm hoping to get it broken in this week and dialed in by the weekend so I can really ride it !
 
Just a little update, I'm still breaking in the blaster and it's killing me having to pussyfoot around on it. I've forgotten how light and nimble this thing is ! I'd gotten used to the banshee and it feels like driving a bus compared to the blaster. This is not a knock on the banshee it's just that it's a heavier quad and not as easy to flick around ( at least for me anyway ). I was a little concerned that I might have to flip the back rims around so that they wouldn't stick out so much but after riding they don't hinder me and actually make the blaster less prone to tip over. Sorry , no vids yet but as soon as I get the motor broken in and have it dialed in with some plug chops I'll post up some vids. My buddy is itching to run me in his 400 ex, he'll prolly win but it'll be fun anyway !

You should be able to take that 400ex.
 
i just got off the phone with my buddy with the 400 ex and there isn't going to be a race. He said his motor blew up. I feel bad for him, he just bought the thing for 600 bucks, went thru hell replacing the swingarm bearings, and got to ride it for 1/2 and hour before it locked up. At least he's still got his trx450 .

Tell him I'll give him $150 for it.lol.
 
He admitted that it didn't feel as fast as my daughters blaster, I'm pretty sure it will turn up on delaware's craigslist in the next day or 2
