    Dies after reach about 170 degrees

    Some of you may have seen the rebuild I'm doing to my spare parts blaster. I got it put together enough to start it just now and I went to do the heat cycles on it. All was going well. It was a little blubbery off idle but good enough for heat cycles. Now here's the problem. It just out of...

    Anyone know what size o-rings for the fat bastard pipes?

    Like the title says, I'm looking to see if anyone knows what size o-rings the Vito's fat bastard pipe takes. They are the o-rings that seal the expansion pipe to the cylinder flange. They usually disintegrate when you remove the pipe so you have to get a new one each time you remove your...

    Turning my spare/parts blaster into another rebuild

    It's been a while since I was last on here so I will give a quick background again. A few years ago, I bought 2 blasters in pieces from a family friend for $200 and a brand new, in box vito's +3 crank for $100. To my surprise, one of the torn down blasters had a 240 BB cylinder. So I decided to...

    So I picked up this 1986 TRX250R yesterday. I've always wanted one since I was younger so I couldn't pass up a decent deal on one so I could eventually put in the work to make it the best looking and driving 250R I can build. So here are the pictures of how I got it. The plastics are...

The pipe on this 250r I bought is a sparks mx pipe and is apparently THE pipe to have on a 250r but mine is cracked real bad near one of the mounts and causing a severe exhaust leak.

    We got GoPros! Check out our rides

    Since they are HUGE files, I will have to post the rest after they upload but we got some video of riding in a park 40 miles from where I live. The first video is what my cousin got with his GoPro. He rides a z400. He gets a few shots of me going up some hills on my blaster. In this first video...

    Bearing rollers vs stock style rollers

    I was just wanting to know what the pros and cons are of doing the bearing roller mod.

Worked for my ride I went...

    LED Tail light problems

    I ordered this tail light last week to put on my blaster: http://www.ebay.com/itm/311528827850 I wanted an LED tail light because they are bright and don't take as much to power them. My blaster is an 04 so it has the problem where my lights dim real bad when trying to power the brake light...

    Will LTZ shocks bolt up front to long travel a-arms

    I am about to go look at a kfx 400 for damn cheap and it has stage 4 elkas that he said were from his buddy's ltz.

    Looking to buy right foot peg 03+ and tail light

    I am in search of a right foot peg for an 03 or newer blaster. Mine is bent real bad and will probably never mount back on my heel guards. I would also be interested in buying the plastic guards that extend down from the rear fenders if sold for right price. Still in search of a tail light as well

    My 240 with stroker build

    As some already know, I've talked to KOR about getting my 240 stroker build set up. I am going to be doing some of the work for it soon and thought that while I'm waiting on some parts I would ask for some advise on other parts I'm looking for. After the stroked 240 is built, I want to run the...

    Ok I finally went out and got a blaster I can officially call my own. I got it for 100 from a friend who just wanted it gone. Apparently he bought it not running and put a working bottom end on it and tried to rebuild the top end himself. He said there was scared and tried to hone it out but...
