    Spark plug color

    I just picked up a used yz85. I put a new spark plug in it and rode it around for an hour and then took it out and this is what it looks like. Does it look lean? The insulator looks really white to me. It has stock jetting and the bike is completely stock so i would think that it should be...

    Plug chop pics

    So i did a plug chop with the stock 230 main jet, and then i did a plug,chop with the 250 main jet. When looking at the plugs, i thought the brown ring was supposed to be right on the bottom. But on both plugs, the color seems to be in the middle/upper area of the plug. How does my jetting look...

    Bad bogging

    I just rebuilt the top end on my blaster. It was running good. I have about 4 or 5 hours on it. Then all of the sudden in the middle of a ride, it started bogging real bad if you went past half throttle, to the point where it would actually shut off. The parking brake and tors is already...

    Boggs after rebuild

    I just rebuilt the top end on my blaster, it ran alright before the rebuild. Now it idles fine, but the second I hit the throttle it boggs down and dies. Theres slightly more smoke than normal too. I cleaned out the carb too so that shouldnt be the problem

    Kickstart problems

    On my blaster the kickstarter does not always catch and turn over the motor. Sometimes when i kick, it just goes all the way down with no resistance. I have looked inside the clutch cover and i couldnt see anything wrong. Also i noticed that the kickstart hits the clutch cover when it retracts.

    Toomey vs shearer

    I cant make up my mind between the toomey and the shearer. Which one sounds better? Also is one louder than the other? Im leaning more towards the shearer because of the bottom end power, but I like the toomey sound in the videos. Does the shearer sound similar?

    Blaster sometimes dies when given no throttle

    Ok so I recently rebuilt the carb on my blaster and changed spark plug and it ran really good. After a few weeks, now it drives good, but then when i pull in the clutch to slow down, half of the time it will stay running perfect idling, and the other half of the time it quickly dies when pulling...

When i put everything back together, now the bike starts and everything like normal. It no longer feels...

    Hole behind the clutch basket

    Ok so i have a 2005 blaster and one of the bolts that holds on my clutch plates came off and tore up some stuff inside the clutch cover. It messed up my kickstarter spring, but that's not really a big problem. What im concerned about is it put a hole a little to the left of the clutch assembly...
