is this worth my time?

[rocky_mtn_honda]

first off please dont delete this thread...the blaster thread doesnt move hardly at all compared to this thread. http://cosprings.craigslist.org/mcy/1550887621.html
i think i can get it for $500.00 maybe less, because they said right away they'd take $500.00 in the very first email. im still trying to squeeze more mechanical issues information out of them before i drive the 80 miles to go see it. what should i be looking for on the blaster...i know nothing about yamahas...lol but i think the wife would enjoy it. arent they known for rear caliper issues? anything else besides the obvious (frame, swinger, oil leaks, cracked cases, chain damage on cases) that i need to watch out for?
thanks guys

well i was gonna sell my blaster for 1600, and then i saw this kid in NC that would trade his 400ex for a smaller quad... and i jumped on it.....drove well over 100 miles to trade.....that blaster is in good condition, and it says it need 2 carbs? blasters only have one carb.....carbs are only 60 bucks for a new used one.....but anyway...go to this website

blasterforum.com


im on that site...its awesome....very nice people, i still get on every day and chat just cause im friends with most people on there....sick site, sick people and more info then you will ever need.......lmk if u sign up there

and more stuff......blasters are very fast machines for them being 200cc air cooled....only a step slower than when my 400ex was stock......there little wheelie machines......and very easy to maintain!

theirs nothing you really need to specificaly look at because its a yamaha. just check the breaks out because their known for front and rear mechanical breaks sucking *** just as mine did. as stated they have only 1 carb are super easy to work on and blasterforum.com is the best place to go for help.. they have a forsale section lmk if you make an account ill give ya a good rep
