    Blaster info

    Hey fella's,

    I'm curious about the blaster. Are they power valve motors? I like the way the look with a longer swing arm, wider axle and longer a arms. I also like the idea of the air cooled simplicity and parts support. I'm not looking for the fastest I just want something that handles well. Will the little 199cc motor pull my 220 pound arse. And how well do they perform with some motor upgrades like the Vito's 240 kit?

    Thanks for answering all my Q's

    They are non powervalved motors. Make sure you sit on one first and see if you still like them. They are very small in realation to other full size quads. I see your 220 lbs so i'm assuming your a bigger guy. They aren't very fast stock but after you mod them a bit they can be made to run quite quickly. There is a blaster build up thread somewhere on here I saw not to long abo that was quite informative. Good luck with whatever you get.

    when my blaster was all stock it would go an alright speed but after i put the fmf sst pipe and powercore2 silencer and the jet kit it works wicked, with the 360main jet when ya start shiftign throw gears fast the front end pops up untell 4th gear and beforei put the jet kit in the only way i could stand it up is if i held in teh clutch and reved it in first and poped the clutch, i can stand it up in 3rd now and keep a good cat walk goin.
