Default blaster for hillclimbing?

i have a 02 blaster, stock. and Ive heard that the blaster LOVES to flip when climbing a hill. im terrified to death of the quad flipping on me, because i dont have the money to fix whatever would break. how easily does the blaster make hills, and how easily does it flip conditions depending?

They do flip easily but its not like your just going to instantly flip over everytime you ride up a hill. JUst make sure you lean forward and you should be fine. The only problem I have had is when you climb a hill and there is a small tree in the path it flips right over

yea thats because there so light weight and short, you just gotta stay on top of them real good and you should be fine, lean forward real good with your stomach above the steering stem and let it eat.

I have no issues with flipping on mine,... course I weigh 205 and I'm 6 foot tall,.... I move up on the tank really tight and put my head above the bars.....and lean in...... I climb some pretty steep stuff with it and have no problems..... Flipping a Blaster is a rider issue, not a bike issue.....

Wear a helmet...at least your head won't break if it does flip!
