My plastics were badly faded and marked where the original stickers were removed, I did the usual googling and found something of Youtube using 60% paint thinners (white spirit) to 40% boiled linseed oil. The materials cost me 8€ and I cleaned and dried the bike and rubbed the solution in and...

Thanks Awk08, I've checked the link you posted and it says 'this kit is external/exposed bolts only - no internal motor bolts' I appreciate you've used these before, and I note that some of the quoted quantities seem incorrect, are you sure the spec' hasn't changed? I need the 'internal' bolts...

I did an earlier post on this subject but couldn't get the information I needed so here goes again! I need to split the cases on my blaster and want to replace the original crankcase bolts so that I can torque them effectively on rebuild. I need to know the actual bolt sizes that I need to...

Thanks for the prompt reply, I should have been more specific, I need the quantity and lengths as well as thread size and pitch, I'm assuming that, as the original are screw head, they aren't high tensile.

I'm preparing for a rebuild and need the sizes of the bolts holding the crank case halves together so I can replace the crosshead screws and torgue it up properly. I live in Portugal and getting the parts from eBay in the US isn't an option as the shipping costs are horrific, also packages from...

When I got my 2000 Blaster it had white smoke, I read the forums and replaced both crank oil seals. I gave it a while to burn off any oil in the crank case but it's still smoking, most noticeably when going uphill. I put the crank breather in a jar of water and revved the engine, a small...

I just found this thread and thought I'd show a photo' of the tow hitch I made for my Blaster. I use it to tow a small utility trailer from my house into the forest above. Towing is no problem, care is needed when braking!!

Hi folks, I've been researching the Yamaha Blaster for a few weeks and keep coming across posts on this forum so thought I should bite the bullet and join! I'm a semi-retired English guy living on a small Quinta (farm) in rural central Portugal and decided to get a moto 4 (as they're known...
