Good Morning Blaster Community.

First off I have to say I'm thankful for finding this forum and used many of threads for advice and support. I just picked up my first ever ATV which is my 2001 Yamaha Blaster. Just want some advice or more knowledge about a few things from the experts in here. I will admit, I'm a novice and willing to learn more about my blaster. With that being said, Are blasters known for having a weak bottom end while driving up hills or roads (no more than 2nd gear). 2nd question is my blaster is fully stock and was curious what would be some good aftermarket marks to make it look nice and faster (any suggestions just list them out). The 3rd and final question is would getting a 21x10x8 tire too big, has anyone on here ran a set of rears similar?

Let me know and thanks

20/11-10 on my blaster. Lots of room as I'm running a +3 swing arm and after marked heal guards.

Wheel on the left.

Loads of clearance for bigger tyres.

Also read as much as you can on this website.

22x11-8 on mine but they are .5" away from rubbing on heel guard

The Blaster makes it best power up high in the rpms. that is where you will find the power to climb hills.

It also came stock with the balloon tires which have no sidewall so they did not get as close to the heel guards as square profile tires.

One thing you can do to the Blaster is flip the front rims with the valve stem on the inside, it will make the front end wider and more stabil.
