Thanks, its still no where near how id like to be with it. some good porting and suspension setup for my weight and good tires and I feel like I could hang with any 450 in the woods.

Few more pics

Testing the blaster on its first woods race today, been raining for 2 days and it’s gonna be muddy.

So on my suspension setup, I've got ASR +3 long travel a arms with 400ex oem shocks, yfz450 spindles/hubs/brakes and 400ex stock brake line. On the back I've got a "swing arm shop" +2 roundhouse swing arm with 400ex axle/carrier/brake and a 400ex rear shock with a blaster spring (a lot softer...

Couple pics,

im in the process of turning my 1988 Yamaha blaster into a aggressive trail machine/ occasional XC race bike. I started with getting my suspension upgraded and it rides pretty nice now and I can hit the trails hard. I think I'm ready to upgrade my motor now. It's all stock with just a toomey...

I think 04 up to 09, or when ever they changed to the yfz450r, is a little different. my brother bolted on yfz450 calipers on his banshee no problem and is a really nice brake upgrade. I think I bought 06 spindles/hubs off ebay for mine.

ive got yfz450 spindles on my blaster with the ASR long travel arms, with balljoints instead of heim joints. it turns pretty good, but my camber is off quite a bit. I will try and post some pics for comparision.

im looking but I cant see too much of a difference, other than a little ring on the new pair :oops: On a side note, I replaced my heim joints with their ball joints. they are really stiff and turning is alot harder, havent rode enough to make them loosen up yet.

I bought the ASR +3+1 long travel arms and I used stock 400ex front shocks and its a pretty nice setup. then I replaced the heim joints with banshee/yfz balljoints from ASR and bought some yfz 450 spindles and going to get some yfz calipers too and have a good hydraulic brake setup. I also...

Wow. Yea a lot of good reading in there! I didn't have time to read every post, just skimmed through it. He went very in depth with his work, which looked like it came out great. I don't think i get that much involved, but I will be doing a lot of testing with mine once I get started. The Honda...

i have a plan to try out a linkage on the rear suspension on my blaster. I've got a "swingarm shop" +2" roundhouse swingarm with a 400ex carrier/brake/axle. Going to use a 400ex rear shock also. Only mod to the frame should be welding a bracket to bolt the linkage up to. Gonna start with the...

Got my swingarm on finally. 400ex stock carrier and axle/brake setup and 14/38 gearing. A little tall but should work good when I get my motor built up. The 400ex parts work great with with this swingarm shop +2 roundhouse carrier. Haven't been in the trails yet, but it still turns good and can...
