Default Yamaha Blaster: Good and Bad

I am looking at buying a Yamaha Blaster. It has a brand new rebuilt engine in it. What are some good and bad things about this quad?

The bad= The brakes are garbage on them depending on the year. I belive it was 2003 they put good breaks on them. They are a little small on size if you are over 5'9" Other than that I really can't complain about any thing.

The good= There are a ton of aftermarket parts to make it faster when you want more. PArts are a dime a dozen on ebay. There is more but thats the main stuff.

The Blaster I am looking at is a 1989 and has a rebuilt motor in it. I am hoping to pick it up for a few hundred bucks.

Yeah lots of ruts and mud up here on the trails in Ohio, but always away around them.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

at 6'5 the blaster will feel small to you. but they are good little quads and a ton of fun, and if you can get it for a good deal then i say go for it.

Having a quad thats too small is better than no quad at all.
