I picked up a 2005 blaster sunday for $350 with a title. The Kid told me it just quit running. I got it home, and started breaking it down. No spark. So I eliminated the TORS and the Parking brake and I got it. Then I did a compression test on the cylinder, 35psi.
After taking day off of working on the bike, My friend and I pulled the head and cylinder to find a blown ring and a damaged piston and very, very slightly scored cylinder.
Im ordering a ring / piston kit,and a few other goodies to get her running again.
I have not rebuilt a bike in years, and I forgot how much I love doing it. My wife even said I've been happier the last few days! Im going to try and upload a few pics of the bike now all broken down, I wish I would have got one when brought it home, but I just found this site and I love it so far!
