i going to sell my 1996 polaris explorer 300 4x4, and i want to buy a used blaster so i can keep up with my ex. the kbb on the polaris is 2400, but i dont think i cant get all of that. there is a guy that is selling a 2001 blaster for 2000, is that a good deal? how durable are the blasters? pro's and cons please. thanks!

 

well i would think 2000 is a little high but if its in good condition its probably a good deal.

 

havent even checked it out, just saw it in the classifieds. if it is i good condition is that a good deal or should i keep looking?anybody want to buy my polaris that lives in washington or oregon [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i wouldnt consider it i got my 03 blaster for 2000 with mods

 

Mines a 2002 and looks new and is decently modified and I doubt i could get $2000 for it.. Definatley tell him to lower the price to like 1700-1800. Blasters are durable but I would suggest first getting a pipe (LRD or graydon) and a UNI filter. And after that stuff I would suggest new tires such as holeshots and turf tamers all around (Stock tires suck so much a$$) And after all that you can get the LSR +4 axle, extended swingarm (+3 is a good lenth) and a 400EX rear shock and maybe works for the front to keep you stabilized and not flying all around. And if you want to get even more serious you can get HWD porting,larger carb,reeds,lightened flywheels,longrods,wiseco piston,etc. and go all out! It depends on what riding you do..

 

i would keep it stock, cuase i would rather mod my 400ex cuase it is alot faster. And also i would be getting the blaster cuase its hard to keep up with my brother on the ex and me on a slow utility polaris. do you think i could sell the polaris for 2400, it seems like alot. the only thing that is wrong is the foot brake doesnt work. this is the second time it went out.

 

Dude you can mod a blaster to KILL a 400EX (I mean litterly eat it alive) with the right porting,carb,pipe,reeds,flywheel lightening, and sprocket changes..

 

you sure can, my cousin has a blaster that whoops on his cannondale, and my buddy's blaster is just bored, FMF exhaust, Boyesen Reeds and he isn't too far behind my brother's 400ex
