sorry, I joined the US Air Force and I have been in Basic Training. I'm im going to tech school I i won't see the blaster until May. That said, its a pretty easy mod to do, and the stock spring is designed for the blaster whereas the 400ex spring was not. I think it's worth the time to try it...

+1 Don't know about you guys, but if I even touch the throttle when I start it, it floods. But if I leave it alone, it fires first kick - every time.

I just took my infrared sensor and checked the temperature on my Yamaha XT250 after it had been ridden for about a half hour and the head was around 220-230, while the exhaust header was beyond it's measuring capability (430+ Fahrenheit).

I was thinking of getting this Trail tech GPS computer with an engine temp gauge built into it and thought it would be a bonus if it could help me with my jetting, too. They also sell a computer that is strictly a temperature gauge: Trail tech temperature gauge The temp is taken between the...

I used to own a nitro R/C car (before I realized it was as expensive as owning a blaster ;). The standard jetting procedure for a nitro car was to drive it hard and then take the temperature at the head of the engine to see how hot it was. I would shoot for about 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Has...

I hate my stock brakes, but I love the parking brake - I use it every time I work on the quad to keep it from rolling and to keep the wheels locked. I also lock the breaks every time I transport it or park it on a hill. Putting it in gear just doesn't cut it for me... is there any way to convert...

Thanks for the reps! and I appreciate the clarification between dual rate and progressive wound. I didn't realize the difference, but this makes sense. I want to get out riding really bad. I've got finals coming up and I know I won't have time until like the second week in December. I just...

I am a light guy and wanted a softer spring in my 400EX shock. So I decided to try and install the stock blaster spring in the EX shock to see if I could soften it a little. I was able to install it and it turns out the blaster spring is a little softer... to figure this out, I set the 400EX...

If I understand your train of thought, You are saying that by hitting the power band sooner it will constantly want to climb out of the lower RPM's, right? And that if I get a Toomey pipe, the lack of power in the low end will allow me to lug it around without accelerating? I guess that makes...

Sorry for the double post, but... What exactly is a Dial-A-Jet supposed to do? How does it work? I've done as much research on them as I can and it looks like it just takes fuel from the float bowl and routes it up to the air intake of the carburetor, correct? Do I have to drill a hole in...

I think I want to go with the fatty now. I just feel like it will keep my RPM's lower and prolong my engine life... And I think my girlfriend will have an easier time with a lower power band. So what sort of jets range should I buy for the fatty? Leaner than the Toomey?

Yeah, I've seen those on ebay... I just didn't want to buy something if I could use something I already have. For now it's not worth the money. I'd rather spend that money on a ride or another upgrade. I'm a poor college student lol. It seems like blaster shocks don't really go for anything...

Yeah, I've kind of been on the fence with the type of pipe I should get... Although I will do a lot of mountain riding, I also like to play in the sand. I feel like I'm hurting for power a lot more when I'm in the dunes than when I'm in the mountains. And I think if I get into some tight...

Wow, lots of useful information, thanks! I've done the 4,000-10,000 foot climb a few times now with no problems other than idling issues at the peak. (It's about a half hour ride). I think as I climb in elevation, the temperature drop reduces the amount of richening I experience, though...

Got the 400EX shock in and went with stock OEM banshee fronts... the 400EX spring is a little hard for my liking (I'm only a 130lb guy) and I don't really like how it lifted the rear - although it is still better than stock. Has anyone ever tried putting the blaster spring in the 400EX shock...

What do you think about using one of these air density guages to help with jetting?

Thanks. I know I'll need to use different jets depending on conditions, just needed to know where it should be around the included 310 jet (bigger, smaller, by how much). I appreciate the quick response. I'll be sure to get more on the leaner side then...

I want to get a toomey pipe but I don't want to buy a bunch of jets that I don't need. Can someone give me a ballpark range of jets I should grab so I don't have to buy jets as I experiment and as conditions change? I'm running 32:1 between 4,000 and 10,000 feet of altitude (sometimes in...

Ever since I was a kid, I would always ride my four wheeler when the roads snowed over and I never had an issue with the police (even though I would pass them from time to time) and I always wondered why. So here is my best guess as to why. In the Utah law code 41-22-10.3. "Operation of...
