    2001 Blaster build project

    It's been a while but lots of new good news. I have been playing with the 01 blaster a lot. The weather is finally starting to get good here in Florida and I am pretty pumped. Along the way a couple months back I picked up a dirt bike ( thinking friends could ride it while i rode the blaster)...

    The compound or hard rock

    Trying to decide between the compound and hard rock off road park. I heard hard rock isn't great for atvs and they only have one track or trail for atvs to ride. Anyone have any experience with either of these places.

    the lt250rs are great too. Also a huge fan of the kawasaki Tecate 4. Any of the 250 2 strokes will do for me and I am a sucker for the green :)

    2001 Blaster build project

    Thanks so much. I really do enjoy the wrenching part. I guess that's the difference. It has been a lot of fun and a lot of learning. But it mostly just confirmed my love for 2 stroke. I will eventually upgrade to a trx250r and keep this little guy for anyone who wants to ride with. I hope with...

    First ride went very well for the most part. She did break down and I did have to walk back to my truck to pick her up. But that's totally my fault. I had thought so many times about getting new reeds (old ones were ok with only a tiny gap on one side, but they were very stiff) anywhere here's...

    2001 Blaster build project

    Figured I would post a quick little update. Lots gotten done but still no ride out. I went ahead and rejetted the carb with a 290 jet and did a couple pulls swapping spark plugs in between. Seems good for now. I also fixed all the exhaust leaks. My head light and on off switch never worked. It...

    2001 Blaster build project

    Really wanted to go with green front suspension but got a good deal on these black ones on ebay. The bike they came off is unknown but they are 14 3/4 long and seem to be in great shape. They are much softer than the stock blaster shocks and actually have some rebound to them which mine did not...

    2001 Blaster build project

    found a leak in the exhaust and around the reeds. luckily no others so i would be ripping into the top end til i blow it up. Put the bike back together even tho I said I wasnt going to. Had to check to see how it was after the leaks fixed. Wow world of difference. The idle before was taking a...

    2001 Blaster build project

    Tomorrows project includes leak down test. Plus I'm going to see what I can do to clean up the old fmf fatty header. The carb will remain off until I get the new jet (damn slow amazon, should have gone with ebay). Rechecked all the bolts to make sure everything is tight. Discovered the lower...

    2001 Blaster build project

    Wellllllllll I couldn't wait for more parts :/ The rear kfx400 shock went in super easy. Way easier than I thought it would. I grabbed the rear shock off Ebay. It was in very good shape. I used two different bits to drill out to the right size. The shock went in without any fuss. Had to get...

    Yeah bummer about the front shocks. Got them as a set so no problem there. I'll still use the rear. I got the bushing kit and will drill the bottom piece tomorrow. Will add pics as it comes along. Waiting on the jet to arrive before digging back into her.

    So I posted in the intro the clifnotes version but I figured I would post here the full breakdown. The help and advice given so far has already been amazing. So here it goes. I was given the chance to snag a 2001 blaster with a title (in florida = big deal). The bike looked super clean and well...
