    New rear tires

    I'm going to need new rears soon. Blaster came with Maxxis razr 18 rears. I get hung up on trail debris if I'm not careful. I've looked for rears by make/model. The only thing comes up is a 21 Kenda tire. How tall a tire can I run with the factory rim? I have stock sprockets and rims...

    Gas cap vent fyi

    Just wanted to pass my screw up on to others. I put one of those nice stubby vent hose with check valve on my blaster. I really like the looks of it. Problem is it can cause engine to run lean. I was venting the tank with two check valves. I don't know if this could ruin a motor or not...

    Riding the Blaster in the sand

    I got to do some sand riding last weekend. It was my first sand riding. I thought the blaster would do better in the sand. I had to run it hard and got the motor warm. I'm running Maxxis Razr tires front and rear. Fronts are 19 and rears are 18. Maybe I'm expecting to much out of my...

    Banshee front shocks (Sigh)

    I ordered used shee shocks for my blaster. Shocks fit nice and look ok. Problem is there doesn't seem to be much rebound damping. The shocks pop up really fast compared to the factory rear. I had to twist the preload to 4th setting. I should have listened and spent more $ and gotten...

    Clutch basket problem

    I just spent an hour filing the notches down on the clutch basket. Went to install it and found small amount of play between the basket and drive gear. This is rotational play. I found the full assembly from RM ATV for 150. That is clutch basket and gear. Will this new gear mesh with the...

    Tapatalk problems

    I use tapatalk for this forum and many others. When I get replies to my topics I never get any notification. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.:confused:

    DRC clutch install?

    I just got a new EBC clutch kit. I'm confused with the order of parts. Does this kit install the same as the factory clutch? Do I need to install the old cushion ring? One clutch plate is smaller than the others. No instructions came in the kit. I do have a clymer manual for reference...

    Tusk Clutch any good?

    It's almost time for a new clutch. I noticed it slipping in 5th and 6th gear. I'm going to see if I can do the freeplay adjustment at the clutch handle. Are the Tusk clutch sets any good. My blaster is stock motor with full FMF fatty exhaust. Air box lid is removed. I read a few reviews...

    Think I ruined my engine.:(

    As the title says. I finally figured my problem out. I sealed the reed cage and old intake boot with threebond. The boot gasket was either bad or boot warped. It leak tested correctly when cold. When warm and doing a plug chop run it would leak from the top of the boot. Mind you I did get...

    Threebond Intake sealing issues

    As the title says. I got a leak tester from Awk and found my leak between intake boot and reed cage. I used Threebond 1184 to seal the leak. I've run it about 1 1/2 hours with a break every 30 minutes. I have a temp gun and decided to check the head temp. I noticed little bubbles popping...

    Chain adjustment

    I'm adjusting the chain on my blaster for the first time. I've searched this forum and come up with several different answers to chain slack. Right now I have a half inch when sitting on the bike. I can pull the chain up half inch and that is it. It seems to tight to be correct. The manual...

    For the plug chop guru's

    This is my most current plug chop. I'm not sure why it's so dark on the tip of the plug. Float is set correctly and motor is leak free. I'm running full fmf fatty exhaust and no air box lid. Currently 280 main jet. Engine is stock otherwise. There is a light cardboard ring that maybe...

    My jetting fun

    I'm still working on getting my Blaster jetted properly. I have a full FMF fatty pipe system installed. I tried a 260 with the snorkel removed. The plug was wet. I removed the air box lid and leaned it out to far. At the time the biggest jet I had was a 280. I did a plug chop and it was...

    Silly FMF install ?

    Tomorrow I'm going to install my full FMF exhaust kit. I noticed that the new kit has an exhaust flange that mounts to the cylinder. I didn't see a place for my new exhaust pipe spring. There are a couple of spots between the cooling fins to hook the spring. I'm guessing that is what I'm...

    Are all blasters cold blooded?

    This is my first quad. I've owned 2 stroke bikes my whole life. They would always start when it was cold outside. Even on a 60° day it still takes messing around to get it to stay running. I do have a full fmf pipe kit and new jets on the way. I don't know if this is a jetting issue or not...

    Well I cleaned my air filter?

    I got around to cleaning my Blaster filter. I didn't read up enough on how to properly clean it. I didn't twist the filter but rubbed the foam against foam. The filter is nice and clean now. There isn't any rips our tears either. If I hold it up to the light I can see a few tiny pin holes...

    New FMF fatty pipe to stock silencer

    Short story. My stock pipe has something rattling around inside of it. I'm not sure if there is a baffle inside that came loose or is jammed sideways inside. I ordered an FMF fatty pipe. My question is will I be able to use the stock silencer? I used the search function but couldn't find...

    Jokers Racing (What a joke)

    I'm very angry right now. Do not do business with jokersracing.com. I was looking for a full toomey exhaust kit for my blaster. As far as I could tell they had it in stock. I called and actually got someone on the phone who said ( I should be good to go) not that the part was in stock. I...

    Can I use K&N air filter oil on a uni filter?

    I'm curious how some of you clean and oil air filters. I'm getting a toomey pipe kit that comes with a new uni filter. I figured that the filter will need to be oiled before installation. I used to be able to air filter oil in an aerosol can but I can only find K&N filter oil. I'm curious if...

    Toomey B1 Pipe Kit (Worth the price?)

    I have an 02 blaster with stock motor and air box. Will the full kit with air box mod and jets be worth it or a waste of money? I like the toomey sound as good or better than other exhausts. This machine will be used for trail riding, no track riding. I have the stock exhaust on right now...
