Default low price blaster

there is a blaster in the paper for a good price 800 dollars. Is this something i may want to look into? I mean everyone says they may be too small for some one my size , 5 10 190 pounds. but i felt comfortable on the one at the dealer. my brothers 125m atc is small!!!! Trust me i'll post pics of me riding it.lol anyways how is the power on these. i've heard alot of people say slow but some say they can be built pretty well but i don't wanna bore it.

i felt that the front end was a little narrow, is it tipsy at all?

they are a little bit tippy but stiffin up the pre-load on the front shocks and flip the rims to where the valve stems are pointing towards the a-arms. this makes a great improvement. and all of the blaster year models are the same besides the the 03 models. the only difference they have is hydraulic disc brakes instead of the two drums up front and the regular disc out back.

I only weigh around 140 lbs with helmet and boots on. the rear shock is way too soft even with the preload on its stiffest setting. When I hop on the rear end drops between 2 and 3 inches. I have heard of people upgrading the rear shock to a trx250r rear shock. the 250r shock increases travel, and is fully adjustable. If I wasn't selling mine it is a mod that I would invest in. the 250r shocks can be found on ebay.

14 and I'm selling it because ever since I rode a banshee I knew I had to get one. the blaster was a great bike. it was my first sport quad. simple to work on, light, looked good, sounded great with the toomey pipe, had a clutch, a six speed tranny, and no electric start. I think the no electric start is a plus. I've never been stranded in the woods with a kickstarter. I can't say that about bikes with electric start. battery failure has pissed me off too many times.
