The blaster isnt so much of a mudding qaud

[UniRacing]

I went through a couple of deep holes and a ditch,seems watter and sand got in my airbox. my uni filter kept alot from getting to the motor but it was still bad

So truth is you shouldnt ride the blaster in mud.

 

[darealblaster]

WRONG!! If your gonna ride in mud then you should have an airbox lid and the little bag that goes under the stock airbox where all the dirt collects.

If you didnt have an airbox lid then its YOUR fault. I ride alot of mud and rain and ive never ever had that problem. Never.

I use my lid and my drain plug is tight,it seeped through the crack around the lid,
and also maybie where the rubber boot meets the plastic.

and no water got high enough to go into the lid snorkel

then maybe you shouldnt blame the blaster right?? would that have happened if that crack wasnt there?? Not trying to be a dick lol i kno it can piss one off if that happened to me, all im saying that with everything nice and clean it wont happen.

Im still blaming the blaster cause its not cracked,there is a crack where the air box lid meets the air box all the way around the top.

ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT NOT LEAK IS TO USE SOME TYPE OF GASKET MAKER FOR THE LID AND BOOT.

So without modding it will leak..

make sure the screws are on tight cuz i have no leak! i have pressure washed my blaster and taken the seat of and pressure washed where the airbox is to get all the mud there off and no water whatsoever.

Im going to try modding it with gasket maker since yamaha didnt use them there and water goes under.

I disagree with u man the blaster is a great quad for mud, I have even gotten in deep rivers with it and have had no problems u should check ur setup and tighten everything.I:I

 

[blasters/banshees]

well you also have to rember a blaster is a SPORT ATV for a reson utitly quads are build for mudding, a blaster is ment to be a nice trail machine not a mud machine

who said sport quads cant mud??

 

[Awk08]

sounds like the rubber o-ring is missing from your lid, there should be one on the under side of the lid that seals it to the box

You just disproved yourself with your own vids. They suck in mud and they arent made for it. A utility quad would put through that with no problem.

[UniRacing]

Yep afterall the blaster isnt for mud,but i am indeed missing that o-ring

 

[Caterpillarmech]

So you would have been fine with the gasket? Just messing with you

 

[super noober]

hmm, ive never had a problem but i know i dont have a gasket on mine..... time to head to bikebandit lol I:I

 

[samolia]

the blaster will go threw the mud just as good as a 2wd utility will..

 

[super noober]

mud dosent bother me its straight up water that i hate. whenever we have to cross a deepish creek my heart starts pounding and i dont want to do it lololol i know it sounds funny but i hate crossing water
