    New Bike For The Blaster

    I sold the blaster and got this bike for 600. It needed the case oil drain fixed so I did what pop mech said to do and got a little rubber expansion plug. This thing flys and is a lot of fun. Miss the ease of working on a 2 stroke but this thing has no issues at all. It flys too. Love it. Let me...

    Stripped Oil Plug

    I am looking at an XR250R that has stripped oil plug threads. I talked to the guys at the honda shop and they said that it was tough to fix and usually didn't last, especially in that area because it was used a lot. So what do you guys think? Is it fixable. The guy is asking 750 now as well. So...

    Blaster for a DR 250

    I am looking to lose the blaster and get an enduro bike for on/off road use. Someone is willing to trade me their 1990 DR 250 and give me 100 cash for. Does anyone think this is a good deal? I don't really know what there is to do to a 4 stroke bike besides exhaust and air filter. I'd like to be...

    Stock Jug

    I've got a stock jug that may need a little porting. I can't tell. It looks ok but not sure. I'm going to clean it up real nice. I'll post some pictures when I finish. I'd like to get 80 out of it. Send me some offers though. Thanks guys.

    Is this worth anything

    I've got a cylinder that I got with my blaster. The bore seems ok but he said that it was making sounds like it was catching on the porting. So it might need some porting work. What would the cylinder be worth as is? I'm thinking about sticking it on Ebay because I could use the cash. Maybe on...

    Replaced the clutch, now it won't drive

    Like the title says, replaced the clutch and now it doesn't drive. This means it needs to be adjusted right? How do I do that? is it under the plastic cover?

    Clutch Issues

    When I got my blaster the clutch was crappy. I tried to adjust it and all but it didn't work. So bought a clutch kit and rebuilding it. Ran into some problems... immediately. When I went to take the clutch cover off it wouldn't budge on the right side. Not sure what that part is that is there...

    Rear End Squeak

    I just got home from school. Fired up the blaster and took it for a quick run to get it used to it again. When I got back the rear end started to squeak. It's only when I roll it. Does this mean I need new rear bearings or can I just grease them easily? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks guys.

    Yamaha XT?

    So mid way through this summer I'm probably going to try and sell the Blaster and get a Yamaha XT 250 or 350, maybe trade straight up. Can anyone tell me if they are any good? I don't want it for off road use, I'd like to have it for on road use and maybe some real light trails to go fishing or...

    Reed Info

    I did a search and reeds and didn't come up with anything. My question is what do they control. What do they do? I know that they are a decent upgrade and whatnot but I honestly have no idea what they actually do. Looking to get some new reeds as well. Thinking of the Vforce 3s, or maybe just...

    Cleaning your Air Filter

    Here is another one that I figured might help some people out. There were some links to do this but they were broken so figured I'd do another write up to maybe help out again with new guys, again like myself. This is how K&N suggest cleaning their filters, and I imagine that it works with...

    Installing Grips

    Found this on another site and couldn't find a good DIY on this one so figured I might try to help someone else out. Has some good thoughts and ideas. Not many people consider it difficult but new guys don't know how to do it, like myself. I will cite the page to avoid any issues with not...

    Grill out season!!!

    So who has the best grill recipes? Here's a recipe that my Dad has for onions on the grill. Before you say that you don't like onions you ought to try it. They're good and you know I'm not lying when you see what's in um. And they are easy. 1 onion butter beef or chicken bullion cube...

    A-Arms

    I'm looking to get some new a-arms, the guy that sold me my blaster bent one so the tire is leaning. I'd like a new set. If anyone has some that'd be great. Both sides are preferably because I can't remember off the top of my head which is bent and they were both missing a lot of paint anyway...

    Rims?

    What size rims do a blaster have on them? looking on Rocky Mountain ATV and they say that they have 21x7x10 on the front so I assume 7x10 rims but does it matter if the rims are 10x7? I know it's a really dumb question but I've got absolutely no experience in the area of tires and rims. The rear...

    Vito's Jet Kit, no good?

    I bought the Vito's jet kit from the fella on here. It was only 20 bucks so it really wasn't a loss but still didn't seem to be a great buy. It came with a new needle which was great over stock, imagine the new shape will be better. The jets included are 290 all the way to 340 or 350 which is...

    Clutch Rebuild

    What brand of clutch kit do you guys recommend? Bike bandit sells kits by; Moose, DP, KG, Barnett, and EBC. What is the best brand to go with? I don't race or ride that hard. Pretty easy on the blaster. Also how tough is it to rebuild the clutch with a kit for the first time? I'm decent with...
