the bike kept running after it fell off. i though at first i had popped it into neutral on accident only to realize every gear was like neutral. i looked back and...well theres the chain.....crap

im pretty sure everything is ok with it, minus the chain master link and the sprocket. i guess once i get everything back on it i will find out.

i always keep it lubed, im prettuy sure it was because the chain was not adjusted right. ive never touched it and always though it may be a little loose and i guess it was.

The master link popped out and the chain fell off. While this was happening it shredded the teeth off the countershaft sprocket. Good news is its only $30 to fix. Ordered a new sprocket and master link and i will take the messed up link out of the chain. the chain was real long anyways which more than likely caused all of this.

i wanna say its just a yamaha thing but im not sure. if you look above your carb cap where the cable goes into it, if you see a gian box attached to it then you have a TORS setup. mines been giving my some trouble lately so i ordered a removal kit and wanted to see if someone has done it because im not one for drilling into my carb.

cool, ill check it out

anyone ever removed the tors on a blaster? i ordered a removal kit and want to know if anyone has done this.

just a helmet and gloves for me usually, recently i cracked my rib and sternum though so im getting some chest pads.

i think im gonna try and get somewhere on that list. haha

i was reading all the atv theft posts and it got me thinking. when i got my blaster from the guy who sold it to me, he didnt know a whole lot about what had been done to it and was very eager to get rid of it. where can i type my vin in and see if i have purchased a stolen atv?

Which one are you....?????? Just asking???? Just Strikes me as odd that a Guy would remember that sort of thing....DOWN TO THE DAY?????!!!!

i am the guy. i guess im good at remebering things...plus...im in love...

Weve been dating for 1 year and 3 months this friday.

I rode every day this weekend! Didnt ride in the rain but rode after it was done raining...got all muddy!

no, they are cable. the front are drum brakes and the rear are pads. they are terrible!

I work in the parts department of a heavy duty volvo/GMC dealership.

Has anyone here converted their blaster to hydraulic front and rear brakes from the standard front shoes and rear pads?? if so is it hard to do?

do you have any idea if this is a prewired atv?? im hoping all i have to do it bolt it up and connect the wires and im good.

ya i just got one from there. i posted here then went to ebay which of course...found one.

I have a 2001 Blaster

I want the front light bracket and light, mine has a headlight switch but no headlight assembly. let me know if anyone has one!!

Thanks!

-Mike

well it already has a bills pipe on it. is that a good exhaust?

thanks everyone for your replies! This is the first Quad I've owned. I've been riding my friend's Honda 300ex for a while though, and alse the slow but reliable Honda ATC90! I do love adding aftermarket parts to things especially if it has an engine, so any help with that would be awesome too.

Thanks!

Thanks on the brake info!!

I'm really looking for places to trail ride. A friend and myself have made about a miles worth of trails in the woods in the back of his house, but of course we get used to them. If you know of any good places to go let me know.

Thanks again for the info!

Hi, I'm Mike from Nashville, TN. Just picked up a 2001 Yamaha Blaster 200 and this thing is a blast to ride! just wanted to drop in and say hey. One issue i have run into is the pads need to be changed. What is a good performance company to get pads from?

Thanks!!
