hey,
i was wondering if any one has ever had any problems with their oil pump on a blaster. My brother has a 1994 blaster and since it's oil injected he was told to watch out because of the oil pump. Any problems? If so, what were they, and how did you fix them.

 

i have a blaster and removed the oil pump right when i got it because i heard they can plug up and then ur screwd but my brother has a blaster 2 and he has had no prob whatso ever with his pump. but that is just what i've heard that is not a fact.

 

iv taken my bike through some rogh stuff and my injection is still workin great but it would be best if u did mix ur own fuel cuz with the injection u dont get a consitant mixture and by mixing ur gas will increase the life bye using amsoil or red line synthetic oils, BTW i still run mine with it but will be gettin rid of it when i can afford the block off kit

 

Out of all the blasters that have ever been produced by yamaha I would say maybe 5% of them have trouble with the oil injectors and its usually because of rider error. If you are filling up the tank and dropping all kinds of dirt and mud inside then you can kiss your motor goodbuy. You have to look after it. Just like everything else, if you look after it, it will look after you.

I removed mine for the simple reason that I just didnt trust it. Something about my whole motor resting on the fact that a little plastic gear might spin didnt sit to well

 

so should i take it off and buy the block off kit? how much is it?

 

i and a whole bunch of my friends had oil pumps on them and never had a problem, but a few ppl's pump failed and seized there engines.

 

its only $30 and i hear is well worth it so id suggest getting it, i would have gotten it but im in the hole i owe my mom like $180 cuz of the port work im gettin

 

what about if i just stop putting oil in the reservoir and start mixing my gas?

 

that's something I'd like to know.
If you let the oil reservoir go empty will air get into the system?
and can you just let it go empty and pre-mix yourself?

 

Yes you can. If you dont want to fill up the reavior then just premix it.
You don't need a oil block off kit. You can buy the pieces seperatly. I was unable to get the kit so I ordered a clutch cover gasket, a oil pump gasket, a 1/8 nipple plug for the carb (you can find them at any hardware/auto store) and then had a plate cut from fiberglass to fit where the oil pump once was. It works fine. All you need to do is make sure you use some silicone or glue to make sure the nipple plug dosn't fall off.

That is all that the kit contains, and you can buy the pieces for like 15 bucks.
