What do you guys think?

I agree with Twistedtrik, I mean even if it IS something major, it ain't gonna cost THAT much to replace. I have one my son outgrew and it's hard to part with because it's a tough little bastard heh, like a pit bike (or a 50cc dirt bike compared to a 250cc) almost anybody can throw a leg over it and tool around. For $500 I'd look at it too, with a compression gauge and cash in hand...BTW I'm pretty sure the front wheel bolt pattern is the same but the rear isn't (unless the previous owner swapped the rear hubs, it's the same splines and you can actually swap a Banshee axle directly for the Blaster axle to gain 2", then use either Blaster or Banshee rear hubs).

Thanks for the feedback, all of you.

I think im going to go check it out anyways, I went and purchased a new compression checker.

Is there a good guide on this site for testing compression correctly?

All I was unsure about is if I need to cap off the intake while doing a compression test?

No hold the throttle wide open, gas & ignition "off", kick it hard & fast until the needle stops moving on the gauge...
