    I'm rebuilding the engine on my blaster and at the point where I need to install the crankshaft onto the crankshaft bearings which have been sweated into the crankcase. The problem is the crankshaft slips into the bearing, it's a very good fit but not a press fit that I should it was going to...

    01 Blaster Build

    It's been a few years since I've been on here, I picked up a 2001 blaster for $300 that I'm rebuilding and want to show my progress and get some help from all you experts.

    my life is over

    I got another dwi saturday night, and this means it's a felony and I will get my license taken away for 3 years while I'm on probation. This also means that I'm going to have to sell my blaster because I just paid a lawyer $6500, and if I got caught riding my blaster on the streets I would go to...

    Jet needle question

    My blaster is running very rich and bogs down when I give it throttle. Air screw is 1-1/2 turns out and a 320 main jet (came with my exhaust and filter). I removed my jet needle and found that I'm missing the 2 plastic washers that my manual says go on both sides of the e-clip. The clip is...

    Blaster jerking forward

    During breakin, my blaster seems to be jerking forward and I think it might be a clutch issue. Clutch feels fine, but it might be too tight. Not sure how to tell. When I let off the gas it starts to jerk forward as the engine slows down. Anyone have any tips?

    Black wire coming from the flywheel

    What does it connect to? I was trying to clean up and get rid of unwanted wires after removing my TORS and now I've found myself with a mess of cut wires that I don't know where to put. Schematics don't help me much as I don't know much about electricity but does anyone know what this wire...

    Don't buy pro aluminum pro lite nerfs

    Just got these in from bike bandit and they don't fit my blaster... Box says they are for 88-06 blaster but they will not fit. They don't even come with instructions. My rear brake pedal doesn't fit once they are installed as you can see in the picture, and when I tried to mount my new b-1 pipe...

    My wonderful swingarm bearings (or whats left of them)

    Finally took off the swingarm today to find that the bearings are toasted and I'm pretty sure they have siezed right to the housing. I've tried using a bearing puller to get the bearing cases out only to chip and break off pieces of them. I guess my options are to try and mill it out and...

    Would I ruin my car trying to tow my blaster?

    I have a 2005 dodge stratus and anyone who knows dodge knows that they have not so good transmissions. I have a hitch on it for when I used to tow my dirt bike but the blaster is a bit heavier and I'm wondering if I would be hurting my car towing it around town.

    Blaster service limits

    Hey it's me again, wondering if anyone has access to a manual so they can give me the service limits for my cylinder. I'm honing the sh*t out of it to get some scratches out and don't want to take off too much stock. I don't have the money for a bore job right now nor do I have the tooling to do...

    Cracked clutch basket

    While in the process of tearing down my engine for a rebuild, I cracked one of the legs on the clutch basket. If I understand correctly this just functions as a guide for the clutch plates so would it be OK to JB weld it back on? It's a clean break and would glue together good but I don't want...

    Finished honing, should I bore?

    Here is my cylinder that I just finished sandblasting, painting, and honing. This area didn't quite clean up and I'm worried it might cause problems once I get the motor back together such as low compression or the piston having a short life. When I run my finger across the area, I feel very...

    Kickstarter bolt

    I've been trying to get my kickstarter bolt off and was wondering if anyone knows if it's reverse threaded? My next option is going and buying an impact wrench. I've tried every way to get it off and it will not budge..

    Blaster under construction

    Here's a 1999 blaster I bought from some kid for $500, needs a new piston and rings and maybe a slight overbore. It's funny he told me there was no compression so he installed new gaskets.. I took the jug off only to find a chunk of the piston missing! How did he not notice that when he put the...

    Rear axle bearing replacement without rear brakes?

    Hey all, I currently don't have rear brakes installed on my blaster but want to remove the back axle. Isn't the best technique applying the brakes while loosening everything or is there an alternate method that would work for me? thanks
