on yamaha's web page for blaster specs, they said there will be a hdy rear brake for the blaster, is this true or is there a typo??

 

TYPO!

 

i just bought a black and white 2001 blaster and it is still the same suckie brakes

 

If you guys want brakes on your blaster, you can get the unit from Kasea, which they sell as a kit for 200 bucks, which is a lot cheaper than Trenga and probably just as if not more reliable

 

I've seen specs for both the hydro was listed around $100 more.

 

for around 400 you can have hydros all around

Just find your self a complete set of banshee or warrior brakes

 

Last year their web site said that the 2000 Blaster had "light weight aluminum rims". NOT on my 2000 or anyone elses.

I called Yamaha and asked them if they were going to ship me the aluminum rims. They redirected me to the bottom of all of their adds that state someting to the effect that Yamaha products can be different (subject to change) than what the specification states.

So I said "Are you going to fix the add? since this is false advertising."

Yamaha's answer: "No, no, no sir. We will not be changing the add untill the 2001 models come out".

 

i just bought a 2001 blaster and i sure dont have any aluminum on mine
