My cousins Blaster only smoked when it was cold... We played with his Blaster for 6 years and that thing never skipped a beat ! And we gave it hell and it took every ounce of it ! The memories on this thing are just going bonkers seeing your video ! Thankx man !

[@763GanderGuys]

I used to have a 2006 blaster, when we bought it it had zero compression, you could push the kick starter down with a single finger. But some how we got it to start and it ran for 3-4 more months with no compression, then we rebuilt it. But she was a beast

[@CarlosC77]

Blasters have compression release (I think) so you can kick start it very easily

[@dennis82468]

I had a blaster with a vitos racing 240 big bore with a 20 thousand milled head, Boyesen reeds, 30mm carb and dg pipe. The thing was an absolute Animal. I would squish on the throttle in 3rd gear and it would wheelie effortlessly.. although it only had the top speed of a stock 400ex after all these mods. but it was a very fun little bike

[@crboi6440]

very nice mods 👌🏻 did you change gearing? that helps with top speed

[@2vintage]

Wow I bet that thing had some power

[@jaywhy302]

@@crboi6440 yes i think it was geared 14/38.. the gearing was maxed out with the factory rear sproket hub I remember.. the bike would Rev to the moon unlike my 85 lt250r

Nice Joe- cool trick you can use carb cleaner or brake cleaner and spray around the area that you suspect is leaking and the idle with shoot up

[@samanthalocklear5745]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@titletownclowns1545]

Good job on the Blaster, you know I love those little rockets!! Just a small FYI the air filter on it is very restrictive, I had one for about 20minutes on mine and threw it in the pile, I put on a foam cleaner and it was back to ripping hard. The tops of the TORS carb is loose and is an air leak, the flat rubber washer in the cap can't seat because the threads get stripped on the cap making it impossible to get it air tight. I have hundreds of free "go fast tricks" for Blasters if you want or if you find a project Blaster. Pops

[@datsun_network7988]

What's your tricks

[@nickcrye5585]

Can I contact you sir? I just picked up a blaster and I'm pretty sure it's just the carb but I'd really like any help I can get. First 2 stroke I've owned

[@dustingilsrud2317]

Mine won't rev up sounded like same issue with this one but gone thru carb 10 times no difference any ideas?

Hey Joe. Hope all is well. Love your videos. I have a tip for you for the float bowl screws get a JIS screw driver . Japanese industrial standard. You will never roll or round off another one. The fitment is just way better

I read the title, I had a 2000 blaster, that I rebuilt when I got it. It had a blown top end. I had tge head machined and a new piston kit with rings. and it worked great. It wasn't as fast as hoped, but ran good one day it started acting weird, same symptoms. I was about 15 and decided to look at the Reed valves? They were broken and ended up being the problem, sorry for the long story, but I'm about to watch and think thats what it is going to be wrong with it! Lol

[@kenjohnson5498]

Watched one of these beat everything it came across in Missouri one summer.

[@joeyholthusen6495]

. I installed a 10.3:1 piston in my daughter's Yamaha blaster and did a port n polish and also did a little head work. Installed a 34mm carb and throttle body, went a tooth taller up front, put 22 inch tall rear and 23 up front. Also machined the air intake to accept a YZ250 reed cage. It will eat a Polaris scrambler 400cc 2-stroke on take off and top end. It will do over 70mph stock was just 55mph.

I’m sure you have herd this before but it’s the gospel truth… The best mod for a Blaster is a TORS and oil injection eliminator kit. I got both of mine dirt cheap off Amazon and they both helped a lot!!!

[@kartracer5g229]

Exactly... the oil lines almost always get ripped off by branches or harden and cracked and broke and the tors always caused engine performance issues.. first thing I did when I got mine was the tors delete and the oil line delete and mixed at 40/1 and never had an issue with the performance the longevity of the engine or fouling plugs

[@silkarsten2748]

What is a tors ?

[@kartracer5g229]

@@silkarsten2748 it's basically a throttle position sensor on a quad .. if it doesn't read the same at the carb as what the throttle input is telling it or any other thing is wrong it won't let the engine run or if it does run it will run like garbage

RTV on a Reed cage oh my!

[@kernelbadness]

Unfortunately it's necessary with the oem cage due to a common issue with air leak at the intake. Yamabond or threebond is the sealant of choice with blaster guys. Also not over torquing the cage bolts prevents warping.

@2vintage I have a 2000 yamaha blaster I think I may have a good quad for a video for u so when I first got it its wouldn't stay running I cleaned the carb of what I thought was a good job but when I go thru the gears and go to pull the clutch to downshift it wants to shut off

[@matthewschlegel22]

I am considering buying one of these from my sisters fiancé. I saw it run once years ago, it’s been sitting outside for a while now. It has low compression, about 70 psi. It has good spark and that’s about the only thing it really has going for it. He also has a “parts” one that has a seized motor. He wants $100 for the two of them. Should I take them? Just from quickly looking at it today It’s going to definitely need a top end at minimum, tires, fuel line, seat, clutch(when I pull the clutch in it gets stuck), exhaust boot, and the brake lines/ master cylinder has no fluid at all. Any fed back on it is greatly appreciated!!

[@CodyM_]

$100 for both? I wouldn’t pass them up for that price, shoot if you get them and it begins to be too much or maybe your not comfortable fixing the one you could part out the good parts and probably get your $100 back fairly easy

[@matthewschlegel22]

@@CodyM_ yeah $100 for the both. The parts one isn’t complete. I saw it run probably 10 years ago for a few seconds then the motor locked up. Yeah that’s what I was thinking, I could always get my money back especially with used market right now. I don’t know how it is out your way but you can’t find any deals. For dirtbikes you can’t find and 250’s that’s are under 3 grand, and they are 1998-2002 that need work

[@CodyM_]

@@matthewschlegel22 I would snatch them up and see what you can do with them, try to put 1 together with as much as you can from both and see what else you would need to make 1 good one, if it looks like it won’t be worth it start parting them out. Yeah I’m in the mid-south, Tn to be exact and prices around here or within driving distance are crazy high.

I got a question for u my blaster was out of nowhere lost spark took me a while to figure it out I changed the coil and spark plug and cdi and fixed it but then after rideing for 20 mins and parked it I wouldn’t kick start but was still getting spark and fuel and has compression so I removed the carb completely cleaned it put it back together and I took the reeds out put new ones in and new gaskets put all back together and still won’t kick start but it will pull/push start and runs great got tons of power but wouldn’t stay running unless I keep giveing it a little throttle so I turned the idle up I think this may be cause the tors system has been removed so it stays running but when ya shut it off after being pull started it still dose the same thing it won’t kick start no matter how many times I try I’d kick that thing till my leg about falls off lol and it’s not the kicker leaver eitherr I checked or crank case seal I did compression test but I can pull start it in 20 feet easy and like I said run and rides great I just can’t seam to figure out what the problem is why it won’t kick start have u ran across this issue before ? Got any advice on how to fix it I’m a mechanic myself own run an small engines shop and I got to say I’m stumped about to the point where I’m ripp the motor off it and through it in my used parts storage and build a death Machine put a gsxr 600rr motor on it I got laying around
