    LED Tail Light

    This is what I bought - http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062584 - and that is all that I bought, nothing more, nothing less. Tap into the yellow/red wire going into the headlight switch and the other post will go to the chassis. The other two posts are your 12v +/- leads...

    Bottom end noise...big end bearing?

    tore it down tonight. clutch cover off, everything was tight and looked real nice. no noise in there. got brave and took the top end off to check for play, nothing out of spec in there. the guy i got it from said it had a recent rebuild and he was being honest. wiseco piston, .050 over...

    Bottom end noise...big end bearing?

    No damage to the cylinder - both the bore and the top of the piston were beautiful. No scores, no excessive build up, nothing. I did a plug chop over the weekend and I'm fairly happy with it, I think I may still go up a size or two to be safe. Am I going to have to pull the entire clutch...

    Bottom end noise...big end bearing?

    I wondered about that, actually. I've got an FMF Fatty Gold Series mated to a Turbine Core 2 silencer. K&N filter, stock airbox w/ snorkel removed. 280 main jet, needle clip is on 3rd spot. I turned the air screw counter clockwise and it started running wayyy better after making the above...

    Bottom end noise...big end bearing?

    On another note- I pulled the head off earlier thinking it was piston slap, but it's good and tight. And relatively clean even. Also drained and refilled the gear oil, didn't help. Again, not a constant noise, just when it's in the wrong gear and gets bogged.

    Bottom end noise...big end bearing?

    Finally have this thing running good after jetting... but! If I am in too high of a gear and give it plenty of throttle and put a good load on it, I get a rattling/clunking sound until I let off the throttle- I can immediately hammer the gas again and it won't do it again unless I start the...

    Blaster power seems weak until top of each gear

    Here's what it currently looks like. I'm an IT guy and have a graphics business on the side - did all these at home.

    Blaster power seems weak until top of each gear

    So I finally pulled the carb off last night - the needle clip was at the very bottom and the main jet is a 230! Very probable why it's not running 100%. I just got done tearing the whole thing apart and cleaning, painting and tightening everything for the last 2 weeks. Got a 260, 270, 280...

    LED Tail Light

    I see that most of them have 4 leads. Two, I presume, connect somehow into the headlight switch wiring and the other two are 12v+/12v-? Thanks!

    LED Tail Light

    Please don't hate me for asking this! I have read thread after thread about the electrical system on our bikes and there is a ton of useful information, but I wanted to see if someone could tell me specifically what I need. I won an LED tail light on eBay - (99 cents shipped, winning!) I...

    Blaster power seems weak until top of each gear

    And can you point me to a thread about the needle setting? Not sure what you mean by the middle clip. The only clips I'm familiar with in an ATV carb is in the float.

    Blaster power seems weak until top of each gear

    Not my first 2 stroke, and I've had tons of quads/bikes. I'm most familiar with 4 stroke Yamaha's and Suzuki's. I've cleaned many a carburetor but never played with jet sizing. I have scoured some on here, but didn't realize the float could affect it in that aspect. Will definitely tear it off...

    Blaster power seems weak until top of each gear

    Just picked up a 2000 model, supposedly recently rebuilt, who's to say. Anyway, whenever I take off, I feel like it doesn't have much power until I get up in the RPM's towards the top of the gears. If I pin it, it will pull the wheels through 4th gear, so the power is there, it just seems...
