How is the blaster in low speeds? Does it always have to be riden in high revs? How about for slow to moderate trail riding? Just wondering!!!!

 

mine is just fine in slow speeds, I can let the clutch out and putt at about 2mph w/out stalling. Why are you wondering?

Not a problem. I run one at horse shows all the time. That's mostly low RPM in a high gear.

It does, after a while, bog down as extra gas builds up in the engine. Not really bog, but if you have not pushed it past 1/3 throttle for hours, it will sputter if you try to go past 1/3. Pulling in the clutch and as quick rev clears it out.

You will never see this problem when sport riding.

everytime i run in low rpm's for any period my blaster runs like crap, but i have a rad valve with valve covers made for better top end so that might be why, but 2 strokes aren't made for low rpm's and i was told never to run at low rpm's for a period if possible

 

The main problem with running a Blaster at slow speeds is the fact that the motor is air-cooled. The motor will not get the airflow needed to cool properly if it is ran too slow for long periods of time. As far as bogging, the engine from the Blaster originated in a '70's enduro bike and has the best low end power of any of the two-stroke bikes.
