[@ronklimantas4226]

Thanks for the video , been having a hell of a time, then I finally figured it's the damn original cable was the problem , so I ordered the new cable today.

[@charlesbitherjr5895]

[@beano52]

[@johnjohnakakuaho1637]

[@RoccoMPify]

Great video! I read in a forum somewhere that the "shorty" cable solves 75% of the Blaster cable brake problems. That and keeping the caliper clean. Thank you for this "how to" upload.

+Rakesh Patel The shorty cable is the way to go with Blasters!

[@djxmdnfbfjcjdhdhd4504]

What part # is the ring that lines up in that slot in the caliper

[@Scoops61]

This helped me so much

[@zachgarnett]

Been using this video for a while. The parts that came out before the pads took a year to soak. Been using no brakes for a bit. Lmao 😂

[@Noslo_559]

Great video. Thank you.

[@jjballestrini]

Thanks for the help!

[@stephengalvan7722]

Thank you perfect video

[@morrow49]

Thank you !!!!

[@johnnyg5129]

Thanks for the video, just picked up the blaster and am in the process of fixing the rear brake. My question is the rubber boot covers on the sides on the rotors are they greased at all? Or are they just on the axle dry? Probably a dumb question.

[@atvmongoose]

Been fighting with this shorty cable set up for awhile...had it working for one day and the cable snapped so I got another one and now the pin inside the caliper doesnt line up with the hole so I'm assuming I need a new caliper as their is no way to adjust. Any advice ?

[@Toxic5.0.]

Do these blaster have a break fluid tabs

[@joshwalker1195]

Thank you.

[@dannellerademacher7963]

can you do a video of taking apart the caliper. me and lots of people need to see how to take it apart.

[@gerryballuta]

Hello ,,, I need your help. I can not find that same rear break caliber. Where and what part number or any information can you help me. I orded what I thought was the correct caliber and it was wrong. I have the exact same as you....

[@plllaylisttttt]

13:10 what the hell is that called I been trying to figure this out all night I need a new one of what ever that is mine is missing a ball bearing

[@rickbrodovsky9304]

Nice vision thanks for the time nice job

[@beano52]

No problem 👍

[@joelboyd8302]

I was taking my caliper apart and a spring fell out idk where it goes can u help I can't see it in your video

[@aclouds8709]

i have a 2001 blaster and bought new shorty brakes and when i hit the back brake it brakes but then it stays braked

[@carlosfontanez2798]

Can you send me a link to the bearing carrier ?

[@ianainsworth7]

Hello. at 9:56, that metal threaded bit which connects the cable to the caliper snapped in half and part of it is stuck in the caliper. I've removed the rest of the cable but I cant put a new one in with the broken piece there. What can I do to remove it?

[@beano52]

You might try "wedging" some needle nose pliers or maybe a screwdriver in to twist it out, Good Luck !

Where to find a new caliper

[@chance7536]

thank you thank you thank you

[@beano52]

+chance7536 You are Very, Very, Very welcome !

[@jasonwiley685]

i was rebuilding my rear caliper and shattered the plate guide, they dont make or sell that part anymore. how could i get one fabricated or what could i use to substitute for this part? this was the part # 2xj-25689-00-00. its # 16 in a part diagram. i cant seem to find a blue print or a schematics for it to even take into a tool and die shop, or a machine shop. are there any substitute parts or an alternative part# to order from?

[@Ruben-vo5sp]

I have a faulty identical brake calliper to the one In this video, I can’t find a replacement anywhere and the original blaster callipers don’t look like they’ll fit neither

[@jasonwiley685]

@@Ruben-vo5sp i did manage to find a working complete caliper replacement. best is to upgrade to hydraulic brakes....they will work much better than basic cable brakes...they do cost more and are an easy enough to install

[@plllaylisttttt]

8:30 I just got done doing this to replace my pads and I was ready to cut the fucking cable and go no back brakes finally after a long soak in oil mixed with carb cleaner it came free with some vigorous force

[@beano52]

+tara shay It can be tough, they have a tendancy to "seize" up! Glad it worked out for you !

[@caleb117devries]

What kind of oil did you use to coat around the brake pad to keep it from sticking?

[@beano52]

Lithium grease, just a tiny amount.

[@IceStone69]

Can you send me a link for the brakes? And any other good place to buy 2000 blaster parts

[@beano52]

I used EBay for the cable and pads

[@petosantana7770]

What is the brand of the caliper I can’t find it anywhere

[@2stroketyson79]

Nissin vitosperformancedotcom has them sometimes

[@connorcook4073]

17:47

[@junior7608]

My brakes get really tight with just me tightening down that cover with three bolts... are my pads to thick or any other issues that can cause that? Please need help. Would really appreciate a reply

[@beano52]

See in the video 17:45 and make sure you have this adjusted out so everything spins freely, then slowly work it in, tightening the brakes. Good Luck !

[@junior7608]

beano52 yes thank you took me a while to get thee concept of it but got it down thank you! Really appreciate it💯

[@Tibbz1997]

what can i do if i need the o-rings? cant seem to find them anywhere?

[@beano52]

Ouch, my pads came with new o-rings. Honestly, I'd check a plumbing supply house (or maybe an automotive), they normally sell individual o-rings in a zillion miscellaneous sizes. Best of luck !

[@PizzieLaPriz]

Is that the original caliper for that blaster I have an 01 but when I search up calipers they don't look like mine. Mine looks exactly like yours

[@beano52]

+pizzie Lapriz That is the original that came on a 1999

[@jjmccloud]

Aftermarket calipers will vary from manufacturer to manufacture but they all pretty much are the same with a couple housing variation s

[@snyderkurtis]

Does motion pro make a short cable for the blaster? i found a motion pro one but im not positive about it being a shorty

[@beano52]

I did a quick search and didn't see one made by Motion Pro. Honestly, I don't remember which brand I purchased. Ours came from EBay and was aprox. $20-$25.

[@jjmccloud]

If it wasn't for the damn loud as hell static and scanner noise this would be the best how to out lol still pretty damn good though

[@beano52]

Yeah, in hindsight I definitely should have shut that off, hope you found some pratical use regardless 🏍♥️

[@elvy3236]

What's the difference between the old cable and the new one u put in?

[@beano52]

The "old" or factory original cable runs from the handlebar brake lever to the rear foot brake pedal to the rear caliber. The "new" "shorty cable" eliminates the cable between the handlebar lever and the foot pedal, leaving you with just a cable between the foot pedal and the caliper. This cable for the front handlebar is used for the parking brake.

[@thewhitekid8139]

You didnt watch the video.

[@billyaddelia4330]

Where did you get the shorty cable?

[@speedfreak8200]

$16.75 Amazon .... I love yamaha,but why didn't they go with juice brakes from the beginning ? Talk about your design flaw ! So many kids riding around with sheety binders

[@traildigger204]

Do you have a link for the cable?

[@beano52]

I got mine of EBay, search Blaster rear brake cable. Between $20-$25

[@Grip-n-Rip-It]

Why oh why is the effing scanner on?!

[@klutchkitty2114]

What brand cable is that,

[@beano52]

I got mine on ebay, Search "Blaster Shorty Cable", should be able to find it pretty quick. Good Luck !

[@elvy3236]

Ok but that cable is gonna get worst after a while cuz blaster from 89 to 02 cable brakes are suck.. 03 are hydraulic brakes

[@2stroketyson79]

so just put 03 hubs on it & now its a 03 not a 89 to 02

[@Johnny-ts3eo]

Great video, i know im 10years late. However to find the pin # “ 2xj-25734-00-00” It’s hard cause the kit don’t come with the pin smh… I have everything except the pin..
