    Riding gear

    What gear do you guys usually ride in on trails? Also, do you think it's better for fuel economy to be in too low of a gear (high rpm, good throttle response) or too high of a gear (low rpm, slower to respond).

    Gladwin

    I took the blaster and my friend had his drz-400 up to Gladwin this weekend. We initially took the southern loop from the parking spot and it was pretty sandy and it was 80% whoops. So it was cool on the quad but the bike had some troubles. We hit some really deep puddles and got pretty...

    Popping Engine

    I took my blaster out for the first time this weekend. It was running pretty good but had a couple of weird things happen. Most I will probably ignore for now, but after getting it a bit wet I am hearing some bad noises. When idling it sounds ok except every maybe 30-45 seconds there will be...

    Rose Lake

    2000 Blaster from MI

    Just bought a 2000 blaster a couple of weeks ago. It's my first quad, but I have a 2005 XT 225 (dual sport dirt bike) and a 2004 Wrangler. I live in East Lansing, Michigan and looking forward to getting on the trails ... once I fix this clutch issue (general support forum).

    Shifting from neutral stalls engine

    I bought a 2000 Blaster a few days ago, it was running fine and had fun riding around the yard. I cleaned the carburetor, changed the oil, changed the spark plug, and cleaned the spark arrestor. After doing that, I can no longer ride it. When I shift from neutral into first or second, even with...
