My '03 Blaster Project

Looks like you need to adjust your tie-rod ends man

everything is adjusted. +3 a-arms tend to look like this. even warrior +3's will sit like this.

I thought the shocks look a little long for the a arms. Got a question here for you. I know your having the top end redone for this, and don't know the cost but prefornace/cost wise do you think a yz250 motor would be cheaper and have more power. Or maybe even a yz490. Just wondering what you think

 

[JonS]

the shocks are actually yfz triple rates. they would be too long for regular travel arms, but these arms are long travel.

either the yz250 or yz490 would be a damn good swap for a blaster. the performance would be a world of difference. however, they are not a direct bolt-on. so i really don't know the cost. it could differ. i would opt for one of those engines, but i don't wanna cut the frame or anything. just not practical for me either.

 

[hawkster0001]

you should powder coat the frame and swing arm black while its apart, that would be slick. and with the size of the cooling fins on the 200 you should be able to fit a 250 two smoker in there pretty clean. and where is that guy located that you were talking about kinda curious for my 440 (polaris snomo) maybe

 

[JonS]

a yz250 would fit in nicely, but you can't just bolt them in and go. what guy are you talking about? i'm lost...

 

[hawkster0001]

i was reading through this and you ,entioned someone you were going to take it to do porting and work

 

[JonS]

oh, you mean Ken O'Connor.

give him a call. he does it all and is fair on pricing.

My bad man, it looks like it would wear the inside of your front tires down bad lol

my +5 adjust at the upper ball joint to fix that

Holy crazzap dude. Makin another bad ass quad egh?

I think is your shocks. Tad to long, looks like you can drop the load on them.

its called camber adjustment, theoretically the top should be in 1" farther than the bottom

trying too. the shocks are fine for the arms. it's adjusted like i want it, but i may move the upper heims out just a bit more before i'm done.

Dude that thing looks great. Ive seen a few blasters with this setup and it looks fine to me. I bet she's got all kinds of travel too.

 

[JonS]

one step closer

before:

after:

gotta give a big thank you to Ken O'Connor. his work is amazing as you can see. i can't wait to get this installed.

next on the list is to get an exhaust ordered.

 

[elwood]

nice!!

 

[87warrior917]

Damn his work looks perfect! Looking good.

 

[JonS]

yeah, ken is the man.

 

[DeadLastRacing]

Holy yeasus. Supa clean!!

 

[JonS]

so, i made some more progress today. really just mocked these parts up before i do a leakdown on it.

i think i'm gonna have to go with a different airtube/carb coupler too. don't think this one is going to cut the mustard.

now, you guys can give me some suggestions. i didn't get any mounts with this airbox. how can i mount this side? i was thinking maybe a metal strap wrapped around the down tube w/ a bolt through it.

oh yeah, look at what the brown truck dropped off today.

a full set of dunlop kt390 series tires. 21x7x10 fronts and 20x10x9 rears. f**cking badass for dunlops imo. my gold warrior wheels will be fitted with these. got them from RMATV for mad cheap too. check 'em out while their still in stock.

 

[elwood]

I agree with your idea to mount the airbox, use the strap and put the bolt though the hole that is there already. Then I would do the same on the other side.
