Very true! I'd hate to run a whole xc race with the stock shocks. Thats why Im waiting on the other ones to come in before I even think about doin a race. lol. Quick question from me tho.... On a stock width blaster but with some goood shocks, like works piggyback rear and works piggyback fronts set up for my weight. How would this do in xc?? Should I widen it some more with a banshee axle and +2 arms or keep it stock width?the first thing you will want to work on is the suspention.. You can do all the motor work you want and have one kick ass motor BUT you wont be able to use all that power if you can stay on the bike b/c of the sh*tty shocks. The stock shocks will beat the hell out of you so power is nothing it you can't keep it on the ground.
Just keep them clean, and lubed... They will be fine... yes they aare more maintenance than Hydros, but they work.
Hello
if you guys need Banshee brakes for the blaster, I sell TONS of Banshee parts
eBay Store - Banshee: Yamaha, parts, used
rear banshee sealed caliper/master - $120
rear rotor/hub - $20
rear swingarm - $35
rear carrier - $60 with bearings
It should work on the blaster then b/c the dual gasser I had was for both 400ex's and 450r's. The ends of the throttle cable's are identical where it connects to the thumb throttle assy.Ah I found it but it only works on yfz's and 450r's Moose Easy Pull Throttle - DennisKirk.com I've felt the pull with one of these on my friends yfz and it is considerably better, it's nice but for $125 it's not worth it for me
