    extended front brake cables for a 1988 Blaster

    Does someone make extended front brake cables for drum style front brakes? I want to use the front brakes without going hydro and get extended a-arms since I blew a ball joint.

    It depends on so many things depending on mods and your location! I did my plug chops and came out a nice tan color and ran perfect so my information is correct to MY blaster! I agree start with a fat jet and work your way down but every blaster is different. Basically the exhaust didn't...

    That sounds right. Like I said, I never did measure mine. If this is at all any help to you, I took this picture when I had it apart. Still aren't able to tell how long the rod is but I'd say between 4 and 5 inches. I thought I broke mine when I took it apart because when I put if back together...

    that's with it on I would go 250~260 with it off. Do a plug chop to get an actuate reading. My plug chop with the fmf and air box lid on was best with the 230 main. when I ran an open air box it was a 250 main. I did my plug chops and that was where the best plug chops landed. i'm at about 850...

    What exhaust system are you running?

    I'm taking a guess since I had mine apart about 3 weeks ago but I think it was about 4 inches each. There are two push rods with a bb between them.

    I would run a 240 main to be of the safe side but I have the same exhaust system and it ran the best with the stock jetting (230 main)

    The boots need to break in. I had the same problem at first. Took about 8 hours of ride time to finally be able to shift comfortably with the boots.

    Advanced timing with high compression head

    I was planning on 1 or 2 degrees. I want more mid range power so that's why I want to change it.

    Advanced timing with high compression head

    thanks! I was worried about blowing it up with a compressed head but I will give it a try this afternoon!

    Advanced timing with high compression head

    I had Ken port and compress my head on my blaster this past February and was wondering if is still ok to advance the timing a little bit? I have been looking over the forum and have seen that advancing the timing about 2 degrees will give you a some extra horse power but that was with stock...

    1988 Yamaha Blaster Full Restoration

    Sorry for being months late on this report but the elkas are unbelievable! you literally can hit any jump or bump and it soaks it right up. I had some bad landings with them and they saved me from going over the handlebars many times already. Highly recommended suspension!

    Tomorrow I am planning on Dropping the needle down to the 5th slot. I ordered a 48 pilot jet and got a 158 main. my WOT plug chop looked a little rich still so I'm dropping it a little. Hoping to get it up and running really soon. I've been dying to ride!!!!

    Yeah I'm going to get a 48 because it still not running right in the low/ mid range. I got the CEL needle and put it in the 3rd slot and had no improvement and so I move it to the 4th and it was better but not perfect. This was the mid range plug chop with a 50 pilot and the CEL needle in the...

    This is what I got basically spending my entire afternoon making the Airscrew/ Pilot Jet spot on. I checked the float level before I started and is was spot on at 16mm. I ordered the CEL needle last night so it will be a few days before it will arrive. when the needle arrives, what slot should I...
