I apologize for assuming your age. I just thought I saw a geography map in the background of your profile pic. Ha ha.

O.K. Children . . . First, the EPA has only restricted the 2-strokes that have DOT plates!!!! You can still license (completely restricted exhaust) a street legal 2-stroke in every state but California. And yes the state of California made that rule . . . not the damn EPA. Check your local...

To all the whiny Bitches crying about the supposed death of the 2-stroke, Last month the AMA released the new rule changes to the upcoming racing season. The AMA has taken a position on the growing costs for young, entry level riders. With the appearant large difference in maintance cost...

Puller? Big Hammer? Air Chisel? HeeHee! The bolt that goes thru the tie rod is a tampered Bolt. The easiest way to get the tie rod off is a bit of vibration. Place the tie rod with the bolt in a vertical postion, threads up. Place a 2lb hammer oneside and procede to smack the other a...

Almost have the beast back together! I am ordering a Complete set of Kenda Klawz for stock rims. New Rubber always looks and SMELL great! I have decided to go with the 20's on 8in rims. I like the extra meat for added traction and softer feel in rutted trails. On my bikes I have recently...

If a Banshee axle works . . . do you have to use banshee hubs? I almost bought a banshee axle but had heard the same ol' crap on the forum. Maybe needs different: axle nuts, brake disk, hubs, etc. Then with different hubs, it escalated to different rims. The money was adding...

If you have questions about performance . . . save a buck on me. A guy on ebay sells swingarm extensions. First off, they are bullet proof. Mark, the owner of my local shop, runs a set on his Banshee. He has a +8 swingarm for sand, but on asphalt he adds the extensions. He has 30k in...

Yep! If you have a stock Blaster the pipe alone will make a drastic difference. But as previous post stated, you are limited by your engine. To be somewhat brutal it is as simple as engines get. It is Air-cooled, no power valves and was engineered back in the mid 80s. It was built to be...

I'd check that out. My cr125 and 250 both have fatty with Qs. My cr125 also has a sst pipe on the shelf and I have ran it with my spark arrestor. Maybe different with blaster, but it doesn't make much sense to sell pipes that don't exchange for specific conditions. The FMF website doen't...

Actually you have a special community in Ohio. I have seem similiar riding communities in Minnesota (AMA District 23). It is great to find groups of riders that promote there own local OHV parks and tracks. In the Greater Omaha area we are at a loss.( one track and a deteriorating, constantly...

Atv Plastics get real pricey. I can completely redo a bike for a buck five. But brand-new atv's are at 300-400 depending on what style you want. Maier Plastic basically owns the market and has several different sets. It is a little much for something that will be flipped and bashed often...

Welcome to the forum. Read your engine thread. Made me laugh a little. Lessons learned the hard way always seem to happen to me also. My brother-in-law had a yz250. He tried to ride it at 20 degrees once. Long story short, my buddy bought a 01 yz250 for 800 and a topend kit. I am...

I have to thank you for the funniest half-hour. I have never laughed so hard . . . at work. I work with a bunch of mechanics and we all had a laugh at your situation. Just to let you know . . . 4 out of 7 of us have similiar stories about inflamed balls. The best dealt with paint thinner and...

Happy New Year Folks! May your dirt days be safe and your trophy shelves full!

Hold the hell up! I just got a nut cramp from reading this thread. A kx500 for a blaster? Seriously . . .(insert Lewis Black finger pointing gestures) a kx500 for a blaster? Hell . . . I got a Blaster! My doesn't even bog down! Seriously . . . 50+ hp for maybe 20hp! Momentary pause for...
