Default Answer roost boost--geeeeaaaawwwwdd

I just bought 2 yamaha blasters 1 as a project and the other for parts....for $125...not bad. Anyway...i was taking the parts bike apart to find it had a "Roost Boost"?? ok....out of curiosity we out it on my friends blaster...and it makes one helluva difference. Im really suprised. Can you still buy these....if so where?

Anybody need some blaster parts?

A friend of mine had a Roost boost on his Banshee, he took it apart out of curiosity, all he found was a loop of wire inside the little plastic box, I think it changes the resistance in the ignition to try to make a hotter spark, all I know is he noticed no difference with it on or off, which is probably why you don't hear a lot about them any more.
