1. what do reed spacers do, should I put them on my Blaster, I already have Boyson power reeds

2. what is the "coolest" sounding pipe/silencer combo for a Blaster, what will make it sound like a suped up dirt bike or a little more perfomance than stock (which is what I have now, stock)

3. I can't afford the Trenga kit for putting hydro rear brakes on my Blaster, does anyone know if I can do a complete bolt on swap from a Warrior, Banshee, or even another brand?? Has anyone done this?? I put new pads on the rear, I also put a caliper and new cable on, the first time I used them they locked the wheels up, now they don't work at all. My front brakes work ok, but the right always seems to lock up before the left, I can't seem to fix this.

4. the top part of my carb where the cable screw on appears to be stripped, ot I just cant get it to stay tight, how can I fix this besides a new cable or carb?? could this have something to do with sometimes the trottle sticking almost wide open??

5. anybody wanna buy this Blaster from me??!! Besides the above problems it runs great, we ride it almost every other day. It is an 88, it has Holeshots on the rear, a seat from a 2000, brand new Weisco piston, rings, a Uni filter, and Boyson reeds, all new gaskets, new front brake cables and shoes, DG nerfs, skidplate, a few other things, It does have 1 problem I will tell to anyone if they are intersted. I wanna get another Warrior, a trade is also a possibility. Any offers!!

I added a Pro Circuit pipe and silencer to my son's 2000 Blaster. It sounds great and the power increase is noticeable. Also added a K & N air filter. No rejetting required. FMF and LRD also make great exhaust systems. Checkout motoman.com for good prices and service.

You might be able to use a bit of teflon pipe fitting tape on the threads....worth a shot.
