i just bought an 04 blaster after running it for a while it shut off and would not restart any ideas.

 

Is the fuel valve on reserve? Check that it is set to on and that fuel is flowing through it. Also put fresh gas in it. if nothing works, get the carb cleaned.

 

the fuel is on and i took the carb off and apart and everything is clean and moves like it should nothing is clogged. that was the first thing i thought of lol. its only when ive ran it for awhile and i down shift is when it has shut off on me.

 

Got spark? Did it just die or act like it was running out of gas?

 

its getting enough spark. ill be riding and down shift or pull in the clutch and it just shuts off, doesnt sputter or anything just dies and even after i cools down it still wont start. if i push it and pop the clutch it will start then i can shut it back off and then it will kick start again

 

intermittent short/open somewhere..... (probably the stator)

Mine did some of this crap and it eventually turned out to bad a bad Stator. I changed the cheapest parts first.... of course I went through the entire electrical system first and verified all the wiring was in good shape and insured no shorts from worn through stuff, and the ground up around the coil was solid and clean.... I changed spark plug, plug cap, coil, etc..... the last thing I changed was the Stator, and it quit failing on me.
