Ok so I’ve posted different questions in a few different places and figured it would be best to consolidate everything into one build thread. First a little background. I sold the Blaster in my Avatar a little over a year ago and finally had the time & money to start a new project. I found an 06...

I got my 06 Blaster dirt cheap. Well, I’ve started to see why. Lots of stupid stuff missing and incorrect parts. So at some point, someone lost the master cylinder and put on an 88-02 rear carrier and used two pieces of 1/8” plate to make an adapter to an unknown rear caliper. I’ve removed the...

So the 04 Blaster I picked up turned out to be an 06. The PO removes the on/off switch and the key switch. I don’t need the key switch, but I would like to install a kill switch or tether lanyard. Does anyone know what the factory wire colors were for the factory on/off switch?

Is there anything “special” about the Special Edition plastics? I mean it’s just purple flames. Would I be committing a Blaster sin by removing and replacing them? Didn’t know if they might be worth something to someone.

Just picked up an 04 Blaster. Have some big plans for it, but need to take care of maintenance stuff first. One of my issues is the rear brake master is missing, including the reservoir. Does anyone know what masters are compatible? I’ve found the OEM replacement, but Yamaha wants almost $200...

Does anyone have a photo of how the factory lines are run? I'm having trouble figuring out how the hardline goes up by the steering stem and where it bolts to. If anyone can take a pic of there's, I would appreciate it.

I have a used, but excellent condition OEM stator. I bought it for my rebuild after initially testing my original with a multimeter. Upon pulling my stator for replacement, I found it was a bad solder joint at the coil. I fixed the joint and all is well. So now I have a spare. If anyone needs a...

I have already asked questions and even started a build thread. However, I never properly introduced myself. My name is Tom, I'm from Pa and enjoy all things with an engine. I previously worked as a Parts Manager at a local Bike/Atv shop and my riding experience goes back about 20 years. I am...

I just picked up a 2000 Blaster. My wife and I are going to be doing a full frame up rebuild. As it sits it is in sad shape. I started tearing it down today, just to find one problem after another. Good news is, it only cost me $250 and came with a new FMF Fatty Pipe. I'll post pictures as soon...

I just picked up a 2000 Blaster for $250. It has a whole host of issues that I'm working through. However, the worst so far is the carb body is stripped. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to repair the threads? If not, where can I find a replacement carb body?
