    used crank worth it?

    Is there any way to tell how much life I would get out of one. I found a sweet deal on it but am leaning towards rebuilding because of longevity. What do you guys think about it? 50 bucks for a crank that was swapped out for a stroker. Supposedly completely fine. It would save a lot of money is...

    Bottom end rebuild kit without the crank

    I am trying to do a budget build but I really wanna do this thing right. I will be sending my crank to Ken O'Conner racing to be rebuilt.

I have a full b1 exhaust! I bought this from...

    I rebuilt my motor recently. I rode it with the stock pipe for a few weekend and was minimally beating on it. I went ahead and put a toomey on it rejetted and plug chop so it was properly tuned. I was cruising down a trail and she seized on me. Kicked her over to hear scraping noises. I have...

    DNR does not check 2-stroke decibles

    I have been told that they do not check 2 stroke decibels because the frequencies are not the same as 4-stroke so they don't matter that much. I personally think this is bs. My plan of action would be to put a spark arrestor and packing into the stock silencer. Thoughts? In Michigan!

    Tubes in radials

    I just picked up a set of wheels and rims off cl. They have good tread but have slight cracking in some parts of the sidewall. This all in mind do you think it is alright to find a tube to stick inside and use this method? I understand there is heat and friction generated from this but that...

    Spark arrestor for toomey

    I live in Michigan and care about the wildlife and ecosystems of the trails I ride.

    Using water pump on blaster

    I have been told there is an area for a water pump on the blaster because they used the motor that was water cooled. Has anyone adapted or put a radiator on their blaster? Im assuming its not worth it unless you have a big block kit on it or something. I was just wondering about that IDEA thanks...

    Cannot get the damn carb cap on

    As much as I fiddle with it the stupid cap for the carb will not thread on. I can thread it on without the TORS system and spring attached. Anyone have a trick to getting this on? Its literally the only thing stopping me from putting my blaster back together! Thank you guys!

    Both brakes engage

    I am wondering if it is normal for the rear brake to also engage while the front brake is pulled. While one is pushed the other cannot be pulled (by me) I believe they are both engaging though. Will the parking brake block off alleviate this? Thank you for your thoughts! Also unrelated but what...
