Hi I recently purchased a 98 Blaster which is in great condition and got it for a very good deal. It has 240 kit on it i am not sure from who. It also has khelin carb I believe 35mm, k&n intacke, oil block off kit, fatty pipe with silencer. I must say the bike is pretty quick. I acutally go riding once a month if that, and yes i have been told if i want a faster bike go with a bigger bike, but i must say for the money i bought it for and i know they are not expensive to work on it is worth it for me. With that said i saw some post on the internet saying the were blaster bored to 265 even 280. I can tseem to find any kits like that. They were also saying how with the 265 kit they were keeping up with banshee.. I wouldnt mind being the guy pulling up with a blaster and giving the bigger bikes a run for there money. Basically I am lookign a an experience person on 2-strokes/ blaster/ yamaha to tell me how to get this done, If it can even get done. My next question is what is the maintenece with having a big bire kit?( How often do you need to rebuild it such as pistons rings etc...) Again I really want to make this little bike a big beast and yes i am sure some of you may be laughing but that is ok, If so you need not to reply!Please understand I am the type of person that likes to work on projects, taking things apart and making it better. I could go out a get a brand new bike but to me that isnt fun to me I am very mechanical. All you do in ride it and put it away. I prefer working on the bike and little by little making mods to it. Just like getting an old beat car and turning it into a hot rod. I put a ohlins shock in the rear which needed mod to the chassis and mounts, bikes rides like a charm. Bought the shock for 250 and is worth 725 not a bad deal. It also has extended swingarm+4 and +2axle. I put on 20 tires adn converted hub pattern to 4/115 in rear for ground clearnce and 21 in front.(The terrain could get really rough where i ride in PA too bad they just shut down, it was a great place)
So again if anyone could help it will greatly be appreciated. Please let me know if anyone has heard or even knows who carries a 265 kit or is it custom. Also give me your feedback, I am sure with the info i provided you with, you can now paint a picture of what i am working with
Thank you for reading my post

My personal opinion is: I think there is no way to get a Blaster to keep up with a banshee unless you put a banshee motor in a blaster frame. As far as a bigger bore....you will be losing lots of reliablitly with such a big bore. Not something I would recommend. I personaly got over trying to be the fastest man out there once my friends bored out quads kept breaking down. I value having a quad that starts everytime and is fun to ride! my 2 cents
