    Metal shaving

    The aluminum shavings are probably from your clutch basket. As for a "chunk" goes, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Is it a chunk of aluminum or steel? If it were me, I would start by removing the clutch cover (which sounds like you have already) and looking for visual damage to the...

    Metal shaving

    No, It shifts great. Plus the bike starts on the first or second kick Everytime when cold. I did a compression test as well, and it's right on the money.

    Metal shaving

    Went to the local atv dealer to test drive a used blaster. While riding, the bike wouldn't shift out of first gear while running. Upon further inspection I found I could manually shift through gears while rolling the bike with the engine off( I figured bad clutch). Because of this I got a great...

    Sand paddles

    My motor is built and I have alot of performance parts into into it. I was looking at the skat trak 8 paddle. Do you think the one extra paddle would make much noticble difference in weight?

    Sand paddles

    This summer, I've got a trip to silver lake sand dunes planned and want to upgrade my razr holeshots to paddles. I've searched the internet high and low for paddle brand/recommendations, and can't seem to find much information on them for the blaster. Was hoping someone with experience in dune...

    Hard shifting

    After making the mistake of letting my friend who has no idea how to shift, ride my spare atv(99suzuki 250quadrunner), it now will hardly shift. I literally have to stand on the shifter to make it change gears, and sometimes it won't shift at all. I think it may be either he burnt the clutch...

    Best all around swingarm

    I never really noticed that, good catch. The main reason I was gonna go with Tyson is became the guy who fabs them has a shop not more than 20minutes from my house, so If something were to go wrong with it, I was told he stands behind his product. I've also been told that by using the Tyson, I...

    Here's a pic of my last ride at a Sandy Hill climb. I still have my stock swinger and I could make it up the hill. However, there was a few times my bike would want to lift, and other times it didn't float like I would have liked it to. With my style of riding, ive decided to go with a +2...

    Front brake problem

    To adjust the idle on a blaster, remove your seat and look at the back of the carb from the top. You'll see a big flathead screw, twist it. (FYI the adjuster will only be in this location if you still have the tors system.)

    Front brake problem

    Pull your plug and take a look at the color. If it's got an air leak, your electrode will be a glazed white. If the plug is burning as it should, it will be brown. Next step is to let it idle and spray starting fluid around the base of the head, jug and intake flange. If the engine speeds up...

    Frozen hydro brake

    My piston is definitely still good, and functions as it should. It's definitely my slide pins that are dry

    Front brake problem

    For problem#1 what do you mean by it gradually got higher and higher? Are you referring to the rpms increasing on their own? If they are, you've probably got an air leak that needs to be fixed, or more simply your idle adjuster may just need to be fine tuned.

    Frozen hydro brake

    I've tried heating the pin up and sliding it out and it, still won't budge. I'll try soaking it in oil and see if that helps. If I can get it out, I'm just going to rebuild the whole caliper and re grease it every season and hope that prevents this from happening again.

    Frozen hydro brake

    During the process of changing the rear pads on my 05 bike, I went to install the new pads and couldn't get them to open wide enough to fit around the rotor. After inspection, I noticed the slide pin that mounts the bracket to the caliper had froze up. Anyone got any advice on how to free it up?
