Default It's a sad day...

I BLEW MY MOTOR! My blaster isn't even a year yet. Figured I'd get it out today. Just a little ridin. It was a 24 degrees out. I got it out. Half-choke got it <U>fairly</U> warmed. So I put the choke in, figured it was alright. So I started openin her up. Did a couple donuts. No big deal (there's been a rattling noise in my head for a couple weeks now. I didn't think anything of it). Got her on a big patch of ice, reved her up and started to spin when I heard this CLANK. Then I just stopped. I was like no big deal, I killed. WRONG! Seized her up big time.

Got her back in the garage. Got the head and cylinder off. It grenaded the piston. One whole side just broke off. P**sed me off so bad.

Now I'm lookin at a CT 240 Big Bore Kit. Haven't really heard anything about them. If it really puts out what they claim, I'll pay the 1000$. Just wanted to share my loss. And yet at the same time a kind of gain.

I just rebuilt a balster that did the same thing, but the intake side that broke off went through the buttom of the case. Big hole.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

yamaha4life, have you ever seen the white blaster at LA Dunes, fast one maybe a +six swingarm and drag pipe?

Thanks for your help
