Blaster .vs. 250ex

[BaD_250ex]

I have a 250ex!! Whats the better quad, 250ex or Blaster? I say 250ex, I have sent many Blaster owners home devastated with defeat!!:devil

Whats your guys and gals opinions?

[CHAUNCY]

If I had to choose I would take a blaster. I had one and it was pretty well modded and it was fun. I would port and polish, put on a pipe, a 240 kit, carb, axle, a-arms, and some other goodies. I might get one to modd up one of these days cuzz they can be really good bikes. O ya I also like how the blaster is 2 stroke nad has a clutch. Thats just my opinoin though.

[BaD_250ex]

Bro!! But even with the 240 kit wouldnt a 250 be faster? Or since the blaster is a 2-stoke it would be faster. I still say 250ex would decimate all!!! If you bore the 250 to a 270ex it would slaughter the blaster, as it already does.

A 240 blaster would beat a 250ex. Kinda in the same way a 250r will beat a 300ex. it is smaller in cc's but it is 2 stroke so it has more power. A 250ex might have better handlin but in a drag race a 240 blaster would win. I had fun with my blaster on trails that had a port and polish, pipe, and othe goodies. What do you mean you slaughter a blaster ??? Is it in a drag race ???

[300EXer]

a 250 ex will not stand a chance againts a blaster. if bore it to a 270 or w/e and do everything to it, i still dont think it would beat a stock blaster. those things have such a good pwer to wieght ratio. it will kill a 250ex anywhere. but in the end the honda would outlast the blaster. unless u drive like me and rat bag everything u owe.:blah

stock for stock, a 250ex has 14hp and a Blaster has 15hp but the 250 has more torque. Well if you bore a 250ex to a 270.pipe, port, filter, jets etc it would have 24hp give or take a few but if u do the exact same thing to a Blaster (240 kit,pipe etc) and have it done by CT Racing with new cylinder the hp is almost double that at 40+hp plus you can do gearing changes and everything.

i read a blaster has 18 ponies. But either way you can make a blaster fly.

Dirtwheels said it had 18hp but the dyno was wrong I have emailed Yamaha Corp. and they said "it just depends on sea level and the dyno setup" but 14-16 is stock. I have 3 guys that go to my school who have them and i have raced all and beat 2 and lost on top end to the more modded Blaster. They are sweet bikes for the price.

Yeah, they make quick little bikes and the mod's arent that expensive xompared to some other bikes. I had fun on mine and still owuld have fun if I still had it.

[Sportrax10]

I never heard of a 270cc bore for a 250ex. Even if it had that I doubt it would stand a chance agaist a stock Blaster. If the Blaster had a 240cc bore there is no way you could EVER get a 250ex to stand a chance. BTW, this is all drag races im talking about.

[MSL]

a stock blaster would kill a stock 250ex no problem.

Been there done that many times its not even close..

Powroll is the only company I know who makes a big bore for a 250ex and that only goes from 229cc's to 280cc's. I guess it's a big difference and the power would be more noticable but w/o the right gearing and chassis mods, it wouldn't add up.

[honda270ex]

i have a 270ex. it pumps out so much torque i had to buy new bearings. anyways, it doesnt go fro 229-280cc's.. the powroll kit is only 20cc's upgrade. i wish i was that much but its not. where did u get it from?

wait......how do you have a 270ex then? 229 plus 20 is 249. so you still have a 250ex. just because the kit adds 20cc to your quad that is advertised as a 250 doesn't make it a 270. dont get me wrong, maybe you dropped in a .40 oversize piston and dont have it in your sig, but you're misleading alot of people by saying you have a 270ex.

we'd all appreciate it if you cleared this up.

[300exracer]

The 250ex wont win. A stock 300ex cant even beat one and it is super close like side by side.

[BaD_250ex]

$H!+, Well you guys sure shut me up, but i have still beat 3 blaster, not knowing what they have on them.

Yeah, I believe you because you might have been a better rider than them

I found these stats for anyone who doesn't know.

Blaster=15hp: 56mph
250ex=13.5hp: 50mph
300ex=16hp: 56mph
Warrior=18.5hp: 62mph

I found these out from calling some local and nonlocal places and are suposed to be accurate. All of these were taken at sea level and BONE stock.

I have riden all of them and the 300ex is the most funnest to ride. I never rode a stock Warrior but when mine had just an air filter and jetting and stock pipe, it felt like it had more torque then all 3 quads. Sorry for bringing the Warrior into this but it's part of the dispute that's been going on with all these quads.

we'd all appreciate it if you cleared this up. the Powroll kit is a .080 not a .040 piston

[BaD_250ex]

With all the stuff my 250ex has on it, the speedometer says 63.2!


a 250 ex will not stand a chance againts a blaster. if bore it to a 270 or w/e and do everything to it, i still dont think it would beat a stock blaster

And if the stats are correct Blaster=15hp: 56mph
250ex=13.5hp: 50mph
300ex=16hp: 56mph
Warrior=18.5hp: 62mph

Then it looks like my 250ex would beat a stock blaster, just to clear that up.

[300EXer]

if u can just spank a 300 i will believe that u can barely beat a blaster but i know u couldnt beat a 300. so, just trust me you won't beat a blaster. threads like this are on here all the time just bkuz some kid with a blaster is runing his mouth. i totally agree that yammys suck but u wont beat a blaster!

[BaD_250ex]

You dont understand bro, I can beat a 300ex. I have beat one with Razers on back and a K&N Filter. Out at the chats, we found a airplane runway lookn thing, and I beat it.

[300EXer]

k, you might of. but if u did its bkuz he was a horrible rider or sumtihng was wrong with his quad. Because I ride with a 250 and they can barely keep up at all.

[300exracer]

A 250ex is a recon with sport quad plastic and the only way a that you could beat a 300ex would be that the 300exd is a peice of Shi* or a he is a bad rider.:eek2:

[ex kid]

what is this now yamahariders? stop bashin the little EX. it's still a honda and it does what it was ment to do,provide fun for the beginner,but a guy that races an R can still have fun with it in the woods. the fact is stock to stock a blaster beats the ex, but in teh woods the ex outhandle it becasue it's longer heavier and wider. i'll admit i got beat by a blaster in a drag but when we went into the woods the guy didn't stand a chance, i could stop brake later and corner faster. on a mx track my bike isn't a whole lotta fun and if u wanna race mx get a 300ex,but for the 2 times a year i'm on a track i dont care.

Its all about having fun with what you have and having a positive attitude:)

bad_250ex

Grow up and stop tellin all your bull****. a 250ex isnt clutch it isnt fast and it wont beat a blaster. point proven. dude i drag raced a 300ex on a blaster and i beat him. it isnt a racing quad a 250ex is for a kid who just got done with minis. i like honda and i like the older 250xs but these new ones aint *****. this all is becuz a blaster weighs what 20lbs 30?

[brokeitin3]

i thought i would never sell that 90. and it was hard to talk mom and dad into letting me get the 250, they didnt think i could handle it

[honda_250x_87]

a 250ex will NOT take a blaster.. my 250x will take a 250ex & a blaster will take my 250x! there we go.. case closed.. but i wonder why somebody would try to make a 250ex a fast bike? its got a driveshaft! and to top that off, an auto clutch! bah.. waste of time & money if ya ask me..

[BaD_250ex]

Im just going to make it fast for trails and woods, I never ever ever race MX or really race at all, If I do race then im just going to buy me a z400 or a 400ex, but right now im just livin it up and doing stupid ****.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[keith mcdonald]

My neighbor has a '01 Blaster with a pro circiut pipe ,it run ok if you like to tighten everything up daily.He has had 2 melt-downs.The money he has spent to rebuild it I have been able to have tricked my 250ex.I can kill that piece of junk in the woods on hill-climbsor on long distances of high speeds[the later because he is afraid to cook it again].

[Bean]

personally, i think speed isnt really much, how many times in your life will you hit top speed, and BTW, in the drags most of you are talking about, 300ft'ers, its more acceleration than top speed

[sweet300ex]

NO!!!!! a 240 blaster makes around 40 HP! you proabbly think you can take a 250r cause the cc's are close but you got a pipe so you can win:rolleyes:

god this thread is full of a bunch of fing idiot kids who dont kno what the hell they are talkin about, i want to punch whoever said a blaster with a 240cc kit will lose to a 250ex.. to whoever wasnt retarded in this thread and knew what they were talkin about i wasnt referring to you at all.

i agree.. them ppl need a beatin.. a blaster that is bored to a 240 WILL race a stock 250ex.. u ppl gotta realize, its 2 stroke, clutch & chain driven & probably weighs alot less than the 250ex.. & besides, its a 6 speed.. & that helps alot. & a 250ex which is 4 stroke & has no clutch & it is shaft driven with a 5 speed.. sure, the 250ex is a better trail bike but the blaster is faster.. IT IS A KNOWN FACT!! i am a honda man.. all the way, but a blaster is faster than a 250ex. but a honda 250ex will last alot longer than a blaster.. lol.. thats my 2 cents.. & from all the bikes i've owned, ridden & seen, ITS TRUE!!

lol no man i meant that they are retarded for sayin that.. a 240cc big bore kit done by the right company will beat a 400ex with a few mods.

thank you, this madness needs to stop. if you want to know go over to bluetraxx and bug them, im sure you wont get the ansewer you hoped for:rolleyes:

[motoracer11]

I know I'm late postin this, but was there even a question about a 250ex takin on a blaster

the blaster would kill the 250ex

Ive seen a kid on a blaster beat a guy on a 250R(but this guy sucked)

I used to always want a blster, but they are tiny( buts that my opinon)

[motoracer11]

very well said

thank you people, i have alot of words of wisdom that i use only when i kno the time is right:blah :devil :devil :D :blah :rolleyes:

[PismoGuy400]

im no sure if its true, but ive heard that a 2 stroke is equal in power to a 4 stroke w/ 1.5 times the displacement.

sounds about right..but again im not sure... (please correct me if im wrong)


either way id take the blaster.. lightter, faster, racier, manual clutch..etc..

and another thing.. so much easier to hop- up.

My opinion is 4 stroke= to 2 stroke if its double the ccs...example> banshee350...raptor660>>>yz125...yzf250...i mean there is alot diff. fast 4strokes but thatts my theory.

[motoracer11]

I think your theroy can be proven

u r asking wat the better quad is.well faster is not always better but even if the blaster was stock and the 250 was bored to a 270 the blaster would still win you ever notice 2 stroke 85 dirtbikes can stay with a 450 ya 2 strokes make a huge diiference i woukld rather have the 250ex cuz i really need reverse ,but its all personal preference
