First Blaster rebuild!

[BlasterR1]

Hi BF, this is my first time starting a build thread and I am kinda new to the forum. I now have 2 blasters since my recent purchase. I plan on starting another build thread of my other blaster with a r1 engine, but that's another story. I:I

I bought another Blaster a few days ago and it ended up having a blown motor. I then decided to do a complete rebuild of the engine and strip down the frame for some new color. Wiseco crank and piston set has already been shipped out.

I pulled the motor and tore it down the night I brought it home and was in too much of a rush to take pictures. but this is how the frame sits now. Planning on a cherry red frame.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with the build!

As always, pictures I:I

I hope i can powder coat my frame soon, adding gussets is my main concern. I want to do a base coat of chrome, then a translucent red on top.
Basically it will be a red see through chrome frame

Looks good so far. I am not a fan of wiseco cranks. I know multiple shops that won't even install them. If possible send it back and get a stock stroke hot rods or a Vito's 3mm stroker.

I will have just under $1000 into it once I am done with this build. Just going to be a trail bike.
Whats wrong with the wiseco crank?

Found some pictures I had, what it looked like before tear down...

 

[harley1-5]

not bad if you don't mind how much was the bike?

Wiseco cranks are made in China. They are known to break soon after they are installed. They will take a completely new motor and turn it into scrap. I will not run a wiseco crank. I have had one come apart and read many horror stories. Even seen one break in half. Do yourself a favor and have your stock crank rebuilt if you want to go stock stroke.

The stock Yamaha crank is the strongest you will find.

Welcome. Your build looks good so far! It's fun to build them how you want.

Stripped it down to bare frame this morning. Going to do a little shaving of un used tabs. After I have fun with my grinder I will sand it down and get a few coats of paint on it.

Will update later today with pictures.

 

[BlasterR1]

I will call the company and see if I can return the crank. I wish I knew that before I ordered the set. Where can I get a stock crank?
I have always had good experience with Wiseco and I use their parts in all my other toys.

 

[Blaaster]

Why not have the one you pulled from the blown motor re built by a reputable builder.

Or was it damaged beyond repair?

 

[BlasterR1]

It is kinda bad, piston skirt broke off and had fun in the bottom end. Case is good though.
I will just run the wiseco crank for now and be the test subject on how they last. I don't plan to keep the blasty motor for too long. I like hybrid swaps.

First layer on

 

[Blaaster]

Nice colour, remember, just enough paint to cover, rubbing back between dry coats to promote adhesion, will help avoid chipping.

 

[BlasterR1]

Final coat is on.



this picture really shows the color

 

[Herpderplol]

New method of braking? lol, i would chit myself if this happened on a ride...


I would like to do a swap, but i figure a bike 250 motor to be enough.

 

[BlasterR1]

Quick question. Does anyone know what shocks these are? I am guessing that the yellow ones are stock blaster shocks?

I have a swapped blaster already, but I was thinking yz250 or similar
