Hi guys, i just bought an 03 blaster has extended swing arm, alum wheels, pipe, intake, plastics and seat.. basic stuff.

I just rebuilt it because "it needed a set of rings"

ended up being a broken piston. after about 2 hours and 150 bucks she runs like a champ.

I have some pictures, ill post them later.

I look foward to sharing some stories, buying some parts, and learing as much as possible about these little quads.

welcome...sounds like u bought a nice machine

sorry for the bad pic, i took them with my phone when it was in the back of my truck.

I started pulling the motor apart and found this:

As the pictures show, a huge section on piston was broken off. The crank, rod, cylinder, bearings, head, carb, inside the case... everything had chunks of the piston in it. The case had standing water in it.

Planned for the worst and ordered some parts before I tore into it:
Piston
Piston Rings
Wrist Pin
Bearings
Gaskets
Spark Plug
Oil

Now all I need are front tires ( ~$110 ) and a wheelie/grab bar ( ~$40 ).

For a total of ~$700 I have a freshly rebuilt Quad to beat the crap out of.
