Blaster200Boy's Re-Build!

[Blaster200boy]

As you may know, I am going to be doing a rebuild of my Blaster for Winter! I had blown it up because I was in too much of a rush to ride on Christmas with the new Toomey pipe installed! I was jetted too lean on the main and the result was the rings just seized to the piston and I lost too much compression! So i pulled the head and jug off and found what happened! Decided I needed to replace some parts anyway on the bike and went for it.
I'll tell you guys and gals what I'm doing.

Painting Main Frame, I was thinking a Gloss Black?
Painting Swing-Arm and A-Arms Gloss Aluminum
Replacing Chain and Sprockets, Renthal Sprockets and chain 14/40 gearing.
Wiseco Piston .40
Cometic Gasket Kit
New 2in. Rear Wheel Spacers
and finally, I'm gonna repaint my Rims (don't know what color to pick) suggest one members.

Got one quick question guys, How do you know if your swingarm needs new bearings?

I will get pics of my stripped down bike as soon as I can get to my bike. It's at my grandparents house due to me riding fast through the neighborhood. LMFAO!

if your swingarm has play or your chain comes off alot

 

[yb200]

if your doing a rebuild its a good idea to get a rebuild kit for the swing arm and bearings and seals for the axle carrier

Ok Thanks Dude! Looks like I don't have to replace them! Sweet! Any other mods guys? I don't wanna get a p&p til i can afford a carb too! and dont want vf3's either. Maybe I should get some Tag T2 bars?

You wont actually know how good your bearings/seals are till its all apart. Personally when i take my swingarm, axle out, I always replace the bearings/seals just to be on the safe side. Its apart so why not take care of it while its apart right?

$50 a piece? Idk where your getting those numbers from. I got my pivot works swingarm bearing kit for $85 shipped complete with everything. You might want to rethink that statement too. Bearings and seals are a hell of alot more important than and a/m parts.

You dont need the whole kit for the a-arms. In fact you dont really need anything for the a-arms. You need to the axle and swingarm though. At LEAST do these to the a-arms
