The biggest thing IMO is making sure you don't run low on oil. (this is just what i do) I regularly change my engine oil every month, clean my brakes (I have front drum brakes) when they need it and greese my fittings. I only run premium gas in it, and give it a good detailed cleaning every month, and lube my chain when nesessary. I also clean my air filter every week because it is really dusty where i ride. hmm...i think that is the major stuff i do to keep my blaster running really good. Make sure to check the oil level every time you think about it because you never know when you have a leak and you don't want to run that dry. I have yet to have any problems with my blaster *knocks on wood*. I hope this helps. If you have any questions later on, or now, you can email me at Erickson483@hotmail.com !!!RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!

because they don't regularly maintain them. Most of the time it is from running the injection oil out and it seizes up the top end (i think it is the top end). From my experience that is the most common reason people have to rebuild their blaster engine

Im don't know if there is a way to tell if the injector fails, but some people don 't have enough/any oil to be injected so the piston seizes up. You really don't want that. I wouldn't worry about it though, if you keep it above the recommended minimum line, you will be just fine.

hrmm...i got a 98 blaster with the 240cc big bore kit, everything else stock. except it has the conversion kit to get it off the factory oil mix system. I just mix my own. thing prolly cruises top speed around 45 tops. maybe it goes faster or slower but that would be my rough guess. Its definitely not a blazin fast machine in any case. I have fun on it though.

*S* its really my wifes, but my banshee is kinda in pieces ATM
