    Wheel spacer bolt pattern?

    It depends on whether you want to do things the cheap way of the right way... The right way would be to replace your axle with Banshee one (straight swap if its the newer 03> blaster, but still doable on the older years) - thats an easy 3-4" inches. Then fit some Banshee/Raptor/YFZ 4x115 hubs...

    Check: Compression For air leaks -with a leak tester Spark - maybe replace the plug? Jetting - what size pilot and mains, what clip position on needle? Reeds - check that none of your petals are broken!! Exhaust - nothing blocking it? Air filter - is it clean and fresh? Float level, if its too...

    Bad idling!

    You will have to remove the bottom of your carb to pull the jets... they have numbers stamped on them to indicate what size they are. Have you got an aftermarket exhaust fitted? The carbs are jetted lean from the factory and need to be richened up if you have aftermarket exhaust, reeds, air-box...

    Aftermarket carb trouble

    Well thats clearly not the same as a standard Blaster carb - its close but no cigar. From the eBay pics, it is a 2 stroke carb though (usually the easiest way to spot the diffs to is check the position of the air screw - 2 strokes have an AIR screw before the slide, 4 strokes have a FUEL screw...

    Anyone wanna try to fab up some billet or poly sprocket and rotor guards

    If you are serious about hitting rocks, these type of guards are not sufficient, rather fit a proper heavy duty skid plate. Coming from a YFZ450 backgroud, these are however very popular with the MX guys who ride on a nice predictable, dirt track who don't need heavy duty protection and just...

    Blaster leaking gas

    There are some seals in there that perish or just stop working after while (fuel ruins them). Open it up an replace the seals. Here's a pic:

    Thumb throttle vs twist throttle???

    Agreed - I have one of these on my bike and is the only answer to this age old question - I would say it is one of the best accessories I currently have fitted to my bike. Both forms of throttle have advantages, I use the thumb for the technical sections and where control is needed and swap over...

    yfz foot pegs

    The heel guards will bolt up no problem... But the ideal way to make use of the YFZ foot pegs and heel guards together will require some fabricating - you will have to cut off the YFZ and blaster pegs from their bases and then weld the YFZ pegs to the blaster peg bases. I think AWK did...

    CFM Airbox + TRX400 rear shock

    Yeah, you can easily have them made by a local engineering shop. Send Blaner a PM, he's got a 400EX rear shock in with custom bushings and is also here in RSA. Only diffs between the 450R and 400EX shock is the location of the rezzie (slight offset on the 450R) but pretty much the same...

    Advice on YZF450 Rear Shock.....

    You'll have better luck fitting a 400EX rear shock in there. The YFZ one is too long and will jack up the back of the bike too much. Only way to correct this is too shorten the shock itself. I think Pickled Beats did something like that on his build... For the 400EX, you just need some...

    yfz 450 front arms on blaster

    Unfortunately none of the other Yamaha sport quads' a-arms can swapped onto the blaster. Only way is to fabricate new mounts onto the frame: http://www.blasterforum.com/suspension-14/guide-fitting-yfz-450-complete-front-suspension-blaster-36120/

    I broke it AGAIN!! >:o

    Some good advice from Brraaaptor and others there... but from what you're telling us its seems you might have seizure/bearing failure in the carrier there. In this case your best bet would be to remove the entire carrier from the swingarm (remove the 2 long bolts, the chain adjusters and...

    There's nothing wrong with the FMF's - we have never had a problem with fitment of them and the offer good bang for buck. Don't slate the product before you've checked out your facts first!:) You're obviously missing this part - if u fitted the the Fatty yourself, it might still be attached...
