What have you done to your blaster today
- Thread starter Blastie240
- Start date
Changed oil, new plug, cleaned carb, oiled filter, greased bearings, washed and then air dried it
Finished it (almost) it's all set except the shocks have to recharge them with nitrogen.. I'll have pics soon
Continued waiting for my nice powder coated frame, axle, hubs, heel guard mounts, steering stem and rear brake lever.
Neil and I had a BLAST out in the slush and mud.
Temp warmed up to +5c or so and he drug my butt out in the muck.
Both of us with poor tires, hard to hook up. Our favourite sand pit has been dug out deeper.
The big boost ported Blaster rocks at top rpm but we both feel it gave something up at low rpm.
We both feel the little 6mm x 19mm boost port was better than the big one.
The KTM Blaster's 2" extension is enough on the flat but still a bit short on hill climbs.
I like it for trail riding.
+5c yesterday and -6c this morning headed for -15c this afternoon, our crazy weather.
Heading out camping next weekend, here is some picts from last year:
Hiking into the woods:
Building our Hoochie:
Morning after coffee after a -15c night, that was home in the background:
Bacon makes everything better:
Cranberries and Jello, drank warm, lots of energy to keep you warm:
Why are these folks smiling? It is freaking cold out... They survived!
I am a Search And Rescue training officer and instructor.
I get to share survival skills learned from the Army with my co-workers who may need them on a long search.
Not only can you live through a cold winter night in the woods, but you can actually have a good time.
Oh yeah, Blaster related...
It is confusing weather, do I take the Blaster or the sled?

Looked at the old girl and drooled over the HP gain I WILL get when I fit my new rechambered head that is being shipped from US.
What did I do today? Drool over parts, think about what's the best way to go about mods, mull over information I run acrossed as to porting, engine mods, head mods. And lately lots of thought about suspension.
Most important (IMO) is helping someone else with their Blaster !!

Started tearing into my rear end to install bearings. Took front tires off to get my new holeshots mounted and put shoes on front.
http://www.blasterforum.com/do-yourself-20/wheres-grease-40007/ Or consider putting a grease zerk in carrier. Coat axle where sleeve goes and hub splines with anti-seize or at least grease. I:I
