What is involved you ask???
Lots of work, parts and maintenance. Methanol is for pure race machines or hill shooters, not for play bikes. Why? Well, every day you get done riding, you will need to purge the motor of any remaining fuel. Methanol is corrosive and will eat your motor up if left sitting in your crankcase. It also attracts water big time, so you have to drain your fuel tank when your done riding. Then there the fuel usage - you'll burn twice as much methanol as gasoline. That means half the riding time on a tank, and fuel costs that will roughly equal race gas. All for about 10 - 15% more hp.
Considering you own a Blaster, save your money and buy a faster quad. I think you'll find that running methanol is out of the question.
