faeman66 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 I know this is not a blaster site but you all have helped me.....A lot. I found a 2001 blaster that I can pick up for $900.00 looks good,rides even better, new tires! I don't know if its to good to be true or the old man thats got it up for sale doesn't know what he's got! I just was wondering if any of you have any tips on what to look out for. Any Blaster problems that you see all the time Thanks Quote
RoostRocket Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 sounds like a good deal! the only problems i ever had with our old blaster was blown motors because of the oil injection. if it runs good i would buy it and get an oil injection block off kit and just mix your gas. Quote
scooter6101982 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) also the mechaincal drums on the front and rear caliper suck get the newwer hydralic setup off a 03 and newer Edited October 13, 2007 by scooter6101982 Quote
2strokespirit Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 The blasters are pretty bulletproof air cooled motors, I'd say go for it. :thumbsup: Quote
flattrakker Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 the drum breaks purely suck. you can easily mount up hydraulic breaks tho. nice bulletbroof machines tho. they are fun as hell too. Quote
faeman66 Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 Thakns Im going to go get it in a few hours! It will be a early X-mas gift to my wife! Im going to get some tonight! :biggrin: Quote
. Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 blasters are a good starter 2 stroke, main things to look for are the brakes like mentioned, and keep an eye on all the cotter pins, that are holding in the pins for the shocks and such, they can rust out over time and possible bad news afterward. definitely get the injection block off 900 is about average for a used blaster, I'm going to be picking one up that needs tires but has a pipe and carb and a couple other little trinkets that he's asking 700 for it. I'll probably get it for 6 Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 That's a really good deal, assuming all in good working order. Might want to check that top end compression. Look into that Oil Block off kit which is simple & in expensive.. Another thing I didn't like was the rear stock balloon knobbies, they're kinda typsi.. Report back accordingly, let's see wutcha got! My kid got the same Blaster as her early Xmas! Quote
faeman66 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Posted October 15, 2007 OK I picked it up! She loves it! It runs great and it looks great! It has the FMF fatty pipe! This thing is a wheelie Monster....well I havent rode a bike with out a +2 Swingarm for a long time. Not a bad find for $900.00 I already orderd a block of kit! Quote
