    1999 Yamaha blaster won’t start

    I’ve got a 99 blaster that sat for awhile at my buddies house, before it sat it ran perfect and usually started up on the first couple kicks. I took it out to my dads lodge to start it up and we tried for hours to get it to start with no success. It has aftermarket Toomey exhaust pipes, 310...

    Blaster runs fine idling, then turns off when riding.

    So i just checked my top end out and changed all my gaskets because my base gasket was bad. When I was putting it back together I forgot to put the clutch arm on there so I had to take one nut off to get the clutch arm back on and I think that took pressure off the gasket and that is why it...

    Hi guys - A couple weeks ago I bought my kids a 1996 Blaster to run chores around our farm. We tested it out, bought new rear tires and sent my son out. About 30 minutes later he comes walking back and says, “it is making a weird noice and it stopped”. I grabbed the tractor and towed him back...

    I think I broke my blaster

    I bought a 1994 blaster from a guy I met online. He told me, that the bike ran, which it did, but it didn’t idle because the air hose wasn’t attached. So I attached the air hose, cleaned the carb, and adjusted the idle screw. After researching, I found out that it could have been the TORS...
