    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    sorry for the delay. Life got hectic and also got a new truck and a new to me crf450x. But I finally got the clutch mod wrapped up. I had to take a little off of the adapter I made because it was just barely pinching between the center hub and the pressure plate. And my notches for putting a...

    Reeds

    I know that with the carbon fiber reeds boyesen says to not use reed stops. And also when my old pro series reeds blew up I threw some stockers with reed stops in there and it needed tuning. This was a while ago and I cant remember if I changed jets or not but it will need a little tinkering.

    YFZ 450 spindles and brakes on a blaster

    I have the same a arms, you just need a set of 03+ blaster spindles. Also you need a bolt to go in the bottom of the pinch bolt adapter like so.

    best gasket kits top end

    if you look around on ebay you can find a guy that makes custom copper gaskets. Do yourself a favor and get a copper base gasket. You have the piece of mind that it cant blow out and you can reuse it over and over with a little copper gasket spray. Actually I recommend the gasket spray from the...

    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    slowing down really fast and dropping a lot of gears quickly. It's only happened 2 times in the many years I've been riding this blaster, but it's extremely inconvenient when it happens.

    oil leak from vent tube.

    if you didn't overfill it, it might be a leaking crank seal blowing pressure into your transmission

    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    not welding anything together. The adapter I made sticks out .150" past the pressure plate, so once a jam nut is on there it will be out that much further, which may be more than can be fixed with the adjustment. I will either make a longer rod to fix this, or make a short shaft that has a...

    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    Thinking about it I might still need to make a longer rod for my current design. It sticks out .150" further than the stock setup. I'll find out on thursday when the bearing gets here. Or I could make a short rod and grind radii on both ends to replace the ball and make up for space used by the...

    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    the nut that fits in the octagonal hole on the pressure plate has been eliminated, the adapter I made is a cylinder that can rotate in the pressure plate, I milled some material off the end for a 8mm wrench so you can hold it still (like the pressure plate would have before) to adjust it. This...

    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    when my ball fried it also jacked up my clutch arm. So I tig'd it up with some A2 tool steel filler rod, so it should be indestructable now.

    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    yeah, it will still have the ball in there, but will also have a bearing to help with the load. This is what the bearing looks like

    Blaster pancake bearing mod

    I fried my clutch ball again. This stupid design has been an annoyance for a long time and always seems to screw up at the most inopportune moments, like when you're miles from camp, or when police may possibly be pursuing you. I've seen the banshee pancake bearing mod and wondered why no one...

    Sticky transmission

    My transmission is feeling a little rough when shifting between 1st and 3rd, 3rd-6th feel fine. When shifting down from 2nd to 1st I can feel neutral catch a little bit between them. Is this bent shift forks? Not long before my blaster was torn down I got some water in the tranny doing wheelies...

    If the cylinder isn't scored too bad you can go .25 mm bigger, if it's heavy gouging then get .5 mm bigger

    Rebuilding.... again

    Finally took it out for a ride. Runs great and its jetted way rich. The a arms and spacers on the back make it feel so much better. The ITP GNCC tires are so grippy its ridiculous and are amazing in the mud. On the way back from the woods there were a couple of cops waiting for us, lol. In the...

    Custom swingarm on my CRF450R motard

    Winter is coming, and with it comes boredom. So I decided to swap a swingarm from a 2008 Aprilia SXV. Same geometry as the the honda, but it offers 3 benefits. allows you to fit a wider rear tire & rim much more rigid than stock and it looks bad ass the Aprilia swinger is just a little wider...
