wheel looks like it has camber

[brianfulcher15]

so my 4 wheeler has been rolled before i got it, and the front wheel is slanted like a car with camber.

the frame has a slight bend in it, but it should make the wheel go mroe to the left, or rigth, not make the top lean in more towards the frame.

Pics to come shortly.

 

[brianfulcher15]

ok here are the pics.

the first pic shows the bend in the fram behing the a arm bolt

the rest are various views of its stance. and the a arms.

any ide whats causeing the massive camber?

cant really tell, but the plate that the ball joints are attached to is pretty thin, one of those could have bent. try and compare it to the other side and see whats different.

The top leg of your spindle is bent up. Real common. The spindles from the late '90s were the worst.

where can i get the spindles at cheap?

 

[scotj77]

I think if i were you i would be looking for a cheap rolling chasis. that frame bend is not good.

 

[brandoz28]

i'd say your camber is coming from the bend in the frame that's moved the a arm over

i agree the bend is not good. you can see your bumper even looks slanted in the same direction or maybe its the rum speaking lol

yea, i think after i get the new motor, and get it all back togather im goign to start first by replaceing the frame. I can get a good one off ebay for less than 300, it sucks that no one local on craigs list is listing any blasters with a blown engine.

anyways is there any difference in the face lift blasters from the 88-02 blasters? i'm looking at geting a red 05 frame.

 

[brianfulcher15]

or is there any years that had a better frame?

 

[brianfulcher15]

here's the frame im looking at now.
2005 Yamaha Blaster YFS200 NICE Complete FRAME OEM: eBay Motors (item 190373327261 end time Dec-12-10 08:38:25 PST)

its got the rear hydro barke mounts which is a plus....u can get cheap hydro setup on ebay that will bolt right on

 

[scotj77]

yeah the 03 plus frames have all the tabs for the hydro brake setup on them already. I think it would be easier and probably cheaper to find a broke blaster for 500 or less. i see people pick up running blasters for that all the time. no way i would pay 400 for just a frame

 

[brianfulcher15]

so the will the regular brakes still work on it? untill i coudl get the hydrolic brakes?

here's a 4wheeler i found that i might just buy, i also might just stick the moter on it, and say forget it and drive it like it is.

02 yamaha blaster

holy long swinger!

I don't know... I'd have to see about one with an oil leak. The only place it could be leaking oil and it not potentially be fatal is out from under the clutch cover gasket. A visible oil leak from anywhere else is a dire emergency.

i think im just going to go with the ebay frame. im planing on rebuliding from the ground up with extended a arms new plastics, struts etc. and this frame is the color i wanted to paint my stock one. I might get a cheaper stock one though that looks decient. but most of them have alot of rust

 

[con8quest6]

That's hobbyhorses old swingarm he made....well the whole blaster was his but he sold it then that kid traded it. I called the kid up with that blaster and told him I wanted the swinger for drag racin...offered him a +4 with cash and he wouldnt do it. He doesn't know anything about that blaster. Or four wheelers in general it sounded like. Anyways that swinger is a +12".

 

[sheeblast]

where you live dude? i got a frame you can buy for cheap.
