    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    Haha ya that's a pretty good way to put it. That's what happens when you look for companionship on Craigslist. Bothe the atv's or personal sections.

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    So I did want to leave an update on how this top end turned out. It was bad. It worked great in my garage after I straightened out some minor carb issues. I took it up north to run some trails and ran into 4 problems. The first major one was a tors issue and the second was a clutch adjustment...

    Dyracuse ATV Park In Rome

    I used to race harescrambles in this park. The motocross track is really loose sand and has very few jumps but fun hills and turns. The other one is a "supercross" track. It has some big jumps but it is like riding on clay. Really hard packed and the jumps are all rounded because it is too hard...

    Glory hole?

    I actually followed those exact instructions. I am not an expert on carbs so this did help since this one is payed out kinda strange with the tors. It runs and starts well. It honestly has more power than I expected. I had to sell my Ktm 450 and picked this up just so I could trail ride with my...

    Glory hole?

    So I adjusted the fuel air screw. It was turned all most all the way in from the guy who had it before me. Runs great now, even with the crappy top end kit. Thanks guys!

    Glory hole?

    Haha I was sitting in the garage with a buddy having a few beers and wasn't sure what the hole was for so we just kept referring to it as the glory hole. It is an 1989 and has no mods and still running the injection system. I am just curious if there is suppose to be a screw in that whole. I...

    Glory hole?

    I recently rebuilt the motor on my blaster. It runs pretty well, butt will not operate well at high rpms. I can only run the motor in high rpms while in neutral or riding down a steep hill. I noticed that there as a hole on the right (kickstart) side of the carp that is threaded on the inside...

    Anyone ever use this cylinder kit?

    I also wanted to comment that the customer service through parts ace is very good, but their solution to every problem is to send you a new kit... So now I have 2 of them

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    So my blaster needed a crank also. So the crappy top end was not my only issue. The seals, bearings, and gaskets have been replaced and I am running the new niche top end with the crappy piston previously pictured. It starts and runs fine but I will be removing this cylinder at the end of the...

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    And I'm glad that I now have 2 of these top ends sitting in my garage lol I will probably run it for the summer and rebuild it the right way over the winter. Thanks OConnor for the information on them

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    I honestly do not think it would be that bad to run. I just don't see them lasting as long. I'm sure it's just cheaper aluminum. And my review is not very reliable because I just discovered that my lower connecting rod bearing is bad.

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    Ha that is the kit. This one is not a Niche Industries cylinder, or at least it is not labeled. And I did not spring for the extra air filter. Seemed kinda pointless. But the base gasket is all metal and the reed gasket seemed very thin. I would be curious to see what what an expert has to say...

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    So this thread should be renamed the crappy cylinder head thread. I ordered another kit from parts ace. The cylinder is in much better shape than the last one I ordered. Some of the ports are camfered frm the factory but not well enough. The warranty on this one also sucks. But I thought since I...

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    Sorry I for the delayed response. I did get a full refund for the parts. It took awhile to respond but they gave me my money back and I do not have to send the parts back.

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    I started the blaster again today and the top end is making a bad grinding/squeeking sound. I emailed the seller and am going to attempt to return it. It really kinda sucks because the quad is actually looking pretty good.

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    I have driven the blaster a little bit and it runs. Usually starts first kick but something sounds a little off about it. It doesn't seem loud enough to be piston slap. It drives fine though in comparison to the other stock boasters I have ridden.

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    The oil injection is not blocked off and i have about a half gallon of 40:1 in the tank. Could I just fill the oil tank and run it for a min then fill up with unmixed gas? I am not used to working with oil injection or 2 strokes in general.

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    I really should have looked that up. I still have the injection system hooked up. I'm pretty sure that the previous owner also used premix. Does it the oil pump or whatever wear out if there is no oil in the tank for awhile?

    Niche Industries Top End Kit

    You were right. I had a big chunk of something blocking the front of the header. It looked like a giant booger so I am assuming the mouse died right there and got stuck because it took a pressure washer to get him out. But the blaster runs now. It feels a little low on bottom end though. I...
