ok i own a 2001 kaw. mojave my two other friends have a blaster and a 300ex. the blaster has a silencer and thats it the 300 ex is stock and my mojave has a white bros pipe. every time we race blaster wins and beats me by a length. So how is kaw. top speed better than the blaster?

 

yamaha blaster is a 200 2 stroke so its power output is equivelent to a 400 4 stroke because the piston only has 2 strokes to complete before it fires. Its not much of a comparison.
I thought someone on here would of been smart and already reminded everyone that a 2 stroke puts out twice as much power per cc than 4 strokes and your comparing a 200 2 stroke to 300 4 strokes and 250 4 strokes ?? argument finished [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

fyi to you all, the mojave has more horse power than the 300ex and the blaster, dirt wheels magazine did a comparasin between the blaster and mojave and said that the kawi was just as fast as well as having more torque, the 300 is a good bike, but its an AIR cooled TWO valve quad... i dont even consider it a race quad anymore.

 

i can beat all 3 with my 230 s

 

out of the ones you listed i would have to go with the 300ex but if i was you i would look at the Raptor 250. those things are straight bad!!!! awsome qauds!!!!

maybe the tires were no for snow/ice

 

blaster is tha cheapest. 300ex is faster and better in tha trails trust me i had a blaster with so many aftermarket things on it i couldnt even list them all and a 300ex still beat me.

 

This thread is pretty old, it was started 4 years ago.

 

i have a 93 honda 300ex with hmf slip on and aluminam rims, my friend has a blaster with full dg exuast and ported and polished. He gets me out of the hole but i pass him at top speed<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Originally posted by: Raptorlegs

The average rider can easily get 5+ years out of a 2-stroke between rebuilds. If you ride everyday, then maybe not. But most people don't. I had one dirt bike for 8 years that still ran good. Just use a high quality oil and fresh gasoline.

Besides, 4-strokes have maintenance issues too, like checking/adding/changing oil and adjusting valves. It's 6 or half a dozen the other imo.</end quote></div>
