In your dreams!! Its really not that much of a hit. An 80cc dirtbike has way more punch than a Blaster. Only way I could pull wheelies was to put it in first, right foot on grab bar and drop the clutch......good bike though. Make sure you get an FMF Fatty pipe and silencer, helps soo much

lol!!

Not hardly, when you hit the powerband in 2nd it will pick the front end enough to throw it over...i did it..

3rd it would get the front end up pretty good, maybe a 2 foot. After that..no

ON MY BLASTER WHEN I START OFF AND IM RIDIN HARD AND SWITCH TO SECOND IT PULLS UP OFF THE GROUND BUT NOT WHILE IM IN POWER BAND. THE WAY I PULL WHEELIES ON MY QUAD IS BY PUTTING IT IN SECOND SLOWING DOWN AND HIT THE GAS AND YANK ON THE BARS THEN IT COMES UP.

You just have to lean way back or sit on the back of the seat. The stock tires sure leave much to be desired. Adding a pipe and silencer will make a whole new bike out of it.

Ive got a '00 Blaster with Ohtsu Pro Wedge II's on the back and with those I can pull it up no problem in 1st 2nd and 3rd. One of my friends who is more experienced than I can pull it up on the 1 - 2 shift and walk it through 4th. I think the key to it all on a Blaster is body english and balance, it seems to me to be real touchy once the front gets more than 2 1/2 feet off the ground. Ive never blown mine over, but it has the power to do it. Overall, its a great bike.

My friend has blown his Blaster up twice, the first time he put a injector block kit and mixed his fuel and the wrong ratio and it got blown up and the other time we had done too much slow driving and when he started to romp on it he rode it too hard and too long, remember thats it air cooled so you have to treat it right you cant expect it to run in 100+ temps with 100% humidity ( thats what it is here in Mississippi ) and run it hard and expect it to last, treat it right and you shouldnt have a ton of problems
