    2002 Blaster

    Pennswoods.net Classifieds: 2002 Yamaha Blaster I posted this on pennswoods and then figured I'd link it here rather than try to repost everything. I lost interest when I bought my Jeep. Asking 1000, make a reasonable offer and we'll work out meeting up.

    yfz rear shock: pics request.

    Ok, I got a YFZ450 rear shock and drilled the lower mount so the blaster pin slides through, but WOW is this thing long. I'd really like to see a few pics of a Blaster with the shock installed, and a few pics of the mounting points so I can see what everyone's doing to get this thing bolted in...

    Do you ride with a backpack or emergency kit?

    After reading awk08's thread HERE about his riding injury and being in a remote location, it inspired me to get started on an idea I adopted from my days hiking. I was curious if anyone uses a backpack when they're out for long on trails? The inner survivalist in me tells me I should have a...

    Tire recomendations for woodland trails

    I'll be replacing all 4 tires soon, and I'm looking for advice on which tires to choose for woodland trail riding. I won't be doing any sort of racing or huge jumps. I will be on woodland trails in western PA with the occasional gravel pit. Also, to open up my rim options, can I swap the...

    Anyone know how to rebuild 02 rear brake?

    Is there a noobs guide to rebuilding the rear brake caliper? I bought the e-brake eliminating cable, and when I opened up the rear caliper it felt like a spring unwound or something, and there's no movement in the pads after I reassembled it. I should note, the previous owner had the caliper...

    Project Zombie Quad

    Ok, I've been looking at my beat up plastic and contemplating a change of color. What do you all think if this?: I want to paint the frame, a-arms, swing arm, tank cover and hood flat black and the front and rear fenders olive drab. (BTW: if anyone's decent with photoshop, can you render me...

    New to quads, Where to start?

    Ok, here's the challenge. My 2002 Blaster is stock, and I wanted to add a few mods to make it more suited for woods riding, but my budget is limited to say $750. (Less if possible) Here's the run down: My tires are ok for now. Right rear has a slow leak, but I think it's the bead or...

    I've got a screw loose. Missing counts as loose, right?

    It's always the little things that get to me. Like missing screws or bolts. Having just purchased my first quad ever, I started going over it to see what all I have to repair or replace to make it a reliable ride, and I've noticed a trend the previous owner had. Maybe you can guess his...

    Beadlocks?

    I know a lot of the Jeep guys I wheel with run bead locks to keep the tires on the rims at low air pressures. Anyone ever seen a wheeler with beadlocks? Would there be any benefit for woods riding?

    Lighting ideas/questions

    My blaster had some sort of motorcycle headlight/number plate assembly on the front when I bought it. I've removed it and decided to add new lighting to it. I was wondering if anyone has used LED lights up front, and if so, what were your end results? I figure since the LEDs have way less...

    My first wheeler, 2002 Blaster

    Hello everyone. I just got myself my very first wheeler. I figured at 33yo, it was time to get myself a nice toy to hurt myself with. (joking, I don't wanna hurt myself) Anyhow, I picked up a 2002 Blaster from a guy I work with. He was going to trade it plus $400 to a guy for a 350 Warrior...
