It's been a while since I've been on here but I know I have always gotten great info from this group. New Project: My boss gave me his 1989 Yamaha Radian 600. It was parked 7 years ago due to gas being blown out of the airboxes. Carbs were professionally rebuilt, I believe the issue was a...

1999 Yamaha Blaster ---> 1986 Suzuki LT250R ----> 1974 Honda CB450 Quite a jump, aye? I picked up a 1974 Honda CB450 from someone on CL for $150. He had purchased the bike originally as a parts bike & now I have it. $150! I brought it home and my neighbor immediately offered me $350 for...

Anyone know anything about a YZF600r? Looking at buying one, the bike is a 1996. Seller said his cousin had taken it apart & somehow he got it & never got around to putting it back together...it needs a "thrust block" and a choke cable according to him and he's asking $500 which isn't bad...

Just got an offer to trade my blaster for a LT250r. I basically jumped to the offer because my engine is blown up and I don't have much time to get it back together (but I have the parts) and the 250 needs a full exhaust and wiring harness. I feel like I'm stealing this thing (1986 btw, mines a...

Hi, I have a Honda Foreman S 450 and while riding the other night the lights & speedometer just stopped working. I was thinking I had a bad fuse but they were all good when I checked, any other ideas?

Sitting on the forums, kinda bored...not sure what else to do. Asked for an Eastwood powder coating system w/ a lamp. Although I prefer mechanics (after cracking my cases tonight I may not so much) I have always had this interest in painting. What do you guys got? Looking to see some...

Okay, I'm still stuck on my clutch. All my parts are in, the engine is sitting in my (warm) bedroom, and for the first time in weeks I have time to play with my engine. I can't get my pressure plate off, I've spent probably 2 hours trying different methods & researching ways people did this...

Anyone riding the Jersey area? I live in South Jersey and I used to race in AGP (Atlantic Grand Prix) a non-profit organization that ran hairscrambles all over the tristate area (NY, NJ, PA) but since I stopped racing they shut down the program. The only parks in New Jersey that I even know of...

I didn't see anything about clutches really so could someone resurrect a clutch page or put some info in here? I was tearing my quad clutch down and started wondering how to tell if my clutch is good or not, what are the things I should look for? At the very bottom there's a ring under the...

I'm a bit nervous, I can't lie. I've done projects before but this is my first engine overhaul and I don't wanna waste more money. I bought my blaster used with fried rings for $450. I bought a Namura top end kit for $80 I believe and after a tank and a half one of the skirts on the piston...

Typical aye? I'd say one of the most obvious problems with Blasters (especially the older models, which I have...mines a '99) is the brakes. Especially the rear ones. I've noticed some people will do hydro conversions and I've heard of conversions to the newer style of brakes which are (from...

I'm looking to get into powder coating for my blaster parts & anything else I can use it for. Anyone familiar with this process? I've been doing some research on it and it doesn't look too bad, Eastwood has a nice starter kit & powders and I would get a sandblaster as well. I have a small...

Hi guys, I just purchased a 1999 Yamaha Blaster for $450, it has no title & it needed a new top end. I grew up with a wrench in my hand so I ordered a Namura stock top end rebuild kit (rings, piston, gaskets...btw, knew it was the top end because had no compression...rings were melted) and I...
