    Anyone used Caltric flywheels?

    Trying to button us this engine and the flywheel is completely shot. Has anyone here had any success with Caltric Flywheels? I've used their brake pads, but that's about it. I've heard that some aftermarket flywheels cause the engine to run in reverse, but can't find anything on these, and it's...

    Anyone ever do a SR250 swap?

    I know the YZ250 is a common engine swap, but has anyone ever swapped in a SR250? I have an opportunity to pick one up for cheap.

    Can a Hot Rods crank be rebuilt with a Vito's kit?

    Anyone know if a Hot Rods crank can be rebuilt using a Vito's kit? A local shop will rebuild my Hot Rods crank for $80, and I can grab the Vito's rebuild kit for $40, vs $90 for the Hot Rods kit. Only difference is the Hot Rods kit comes with the rod as well, and the Vito's kit comes with the...

    crank install question

    I've seen that the clutch side bearing is a slip fit onto the shaft, but does anyone know of a video that shows this? Reason is I am able to slide the bearing onto and back off of the shaft by hand, and I was told that this means the crank is no good, but if it's a slip fit, then it seems like...

    Crank play after installing primary gears

    Did a leak down test and found a leak where the crankshaft and bushing meet on the clutch side. Also a little air pressure would push the collar out. I got it pretty well sealed by smearing some Motoseal inside the collar and slipping it back over the shaft and into the case, but now I have play...

    Cases put back together. Not shifting.

    I bought a used bottom end because the one that came with my Blaster was in bad shape. I had to spit the case to swap cranks. Got the bottom end back together today minus the clutch basket, and mounted it in the frame. The shift star acts like it's binding up, but eventually locks in place when...

    Cylinder torque ?

    I know that it should be 18 ft/lb, but I only have 2 torque wrenches available. One goes up to 16.66 ft/lb, and the other is 20-150 ft/lbs. What would be my be bet in this case? I worry about using the smaller wrench and having them vibrate loose, but I also don't want to cause a problem by over...

    Thoughts on this bottom end?

    I recently bought an 01. Seller said that everything was there, but had no spark, and should run after diagnosing the problem. It came with 2 new adjustable stators, new kill switch, new coil, new voltage reg, new cdi, new off brand carb (yuk), 2 extra somewhat good harnesses, a few new plugs, 2...

    Having some shifting issues

    Got a 98? Blaster. Sometimes when I shift into 1st it will pop back into neutral. If I rock it back and forth in 1st gear without the engine running it will do it too. On a short ride, and in 4th or 5th, and it started slipping/jerking as if it were in between gears, and not fully catching. Has...

    What all can cause fouling?

    I have a chance to pick up a really nice Blaster today. The owner said that it has no low-end torque and keeps fouling plugs. My first thought is jetting or carb settings, but what else could cause that? Gaskets, crank seals, reeds, or pretty much only the carb? I should add that has an FMF...

    Help with proper jetting

    I just picked up a 98 blaster. It has a full FMF exhaust, and a cone style filter coming straight off of the carb. The air box is not being used. The previous owner said that he just replaced the top end. I want to be sure that the previous damage wasn't caused by not rejetting after the piping...

    Need help super fast

    I'm supposed to be picking up a blaster today. It's about an hour and a half away, and I need to leave in about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Problem is, I'm unable to take my trailer, and I don't have access to a truck atm, so I am left with only my olds bravada to bring it home in. I have about 32...
