literally bought it an hour after I posted this.

Thanks for the offer but I just bought on craigslist a 2003 blaster for $450 running and the brakes work! just needs carb work and I have a new carb in the basement so I'm going to swap the brakes then sell it to a buddy who want it lol.

Does someone make extended front brake cables for drum style front brakes? I want to use the front brakes without going hydro and get extended a-arms since I blew a ball joint.

It depends on so many things depending on mods and your location! I did my plug chops and came out a nice tan color and ran perfect so my information is correct to MY blaster! I agree start with a fat jet and work your way down but every blaster is different. Basically the exhaust didn't...

That sounds right. Like I said, I never did measure mine. If this is at all any help to you, I took this picture when I had it apart. Still aren't able to tell how long the rod is but I'd say between 4 and 5 inches. I thought I broke mine when I took it apart because when I put if back together...

that's with it on I would go 250~260 with it off. Do a plug chop to get an actuate reading. My plug chop with the fmf and air box lid on was best with the 230 main. when I ran an open air box it was a 250 main. I did my plug chops and that was where the best plug chops landed. i'm at about 850...

What exhaust system are you running?

I'm taking a guess since I had mine apart about 3 weeks ago but I think it was about 4 inches each. There are two push rods with a bb between them.

I would run a 240 main to be of the safe side but I have the same exhaust system and it ran the best with the stock jetting (230 main)

The boots need to break in. I had the same problem at first. Took about 8 hours of ride time to finally be able to shift comfortably with the boots.

I was planning on 1 or 2 degrees. I want more mid range power so that's why I want to change it.

thanks! I was worried about blowing it up with a compressed head but I will give it a try this afternoon!

I had Ken port and compress my head on my blaster this past February and was wondering if is still ok to advance the timing a little bit? I have been looking over the forum and have seen that advancing the timing about 2 degrees will give you a some extra horse power but that was with stock...

Sorry for being months late on this report but the elkas are unbelievable! you literally can hit any jump or bump and it soaks it right up. I had some bad landings with them and they saved me from going over the handlebars many times already. Highly recommended suspension!

Tomorrow I am planning on Dropping the needle down to the 5th slot. I ordered a 48 pilot jet and got a 158 main. my WOT plug chop looked a little rich still so I'm dropping it a little. Hoping to get it up and running really soon. I've been dying to ride!!!!
