I don't have the most for a full 240 big bore kit so I found an vitos 240 sleeve and want to know if it will fit in my stock blaster cylinder. I have a good local cycle shop to install it. They have done plenty of work on my banshee and yz 250so I know they can do a good job. Also will it give me plenty of power and can I bore the 240 sleeve? Thanks for your responses.
vitos 240 sleeve?
- Thread starter blasterfinatic
- Start date
well yes and no,the vitos 72mm sleeve is for the vitos cylinder jug because its 12 ports,as far as boring the 72mm even more thats a yes i think up to 73mm max,now im sure its possible to install a vitos 72mm but thats going to be big time work seeing that the vitos has a triple exhaust and intake boost ports so there might be welding required on a stock blaster cylinder now dont hold me too that but im pretty sure,as far as power yes on torque no on top end lol,id just send the stock cylinder to ken and about $150 plus the shipping to him its hang on time ha ha,hope i was of some help to you bud.
This : Yamaha 200 Blaster Big Bore Cylinder Sleeve 88 06 | eBay would probably be better as to ease of install. LA Sleeve and Pro-X probably also have them.
I'm all for supporting local business, if you don't, they might not be there when you need something quick, such as jets, gripes, etc. You've been satisfied so far. This isn't rocket science.

But if you bore out the sleeve even more doesn't it make it less reliable...
Isn't that why they stopped making the 260bbk? Because it was so thin it would crack easily...

Would a 240 sleeve give me a lot more power because I've heard that it doesn't really help much unless you port and polish it? And would my 30mm carb be big enough? It uses a lot of gas
Yea but the cylinder would be so thin that you could ride it for maybe an hour then it would blow up... correct me if im wrong
The cylinder wouldnt be any thinner. You put in a new sleeve with eack bbk. You can NOT bore a stock to anything above about 202cc.
You basically cut out the current cylinder, drill out the jug so it can hold the new sleeve, and press it in. All requires special tools
Detonation is what happens with the 265cc bbk's. That can happen with any size, just happens more often on the bigger ones.
Your wrong they have heat issues so main jet needs to be rich. I have a 240 sleeve and it has a lot more on the low end.
Hey sandking, what size carb do you run with your 240 sleeve and what brand do you use. Also does it make it alot faster?
Stock carb, top speed is based on geering, but ya gets up to speed quick. Pulls 8 paddle haullers in the sand with no problems.
