Sick video

Dude, your videos is really top quality! I wish I can find a good video, where someone fits a 2004-06 Blaster rear hydro master cylinder and caliper to a 2002

This is my all time favorite video, I’ve learned so much by watching your videos! This quad has to be the most awesome looking, imaginative, and darn near close to perfect that I’ve ever seen!! Great job!!!

Yo bro!, how did you make that picture on your phone of the quad?

Hi, my name is Mike 53yrs old, auto body and painter. I don't know why I haven't found your channel earlier. So far I've watched your banshee, tri Z, and blaster builds. I must say I love your work. Love your attention to detail as I'm that way as well. I couldn't believe the spring on the kickstart, that idea was genius, there's no way that will come out, it would have to come straight out of it did. My history of quads my first was the Honda 250r that I was in love with and like to have one today. Only mods I did was a muffler, radiator airs scoops, nerf bars, rear grab bar. My second was a Suzuki 250, only mods was I painted the plastic yellow with flex with pearl blue and looked incredible, made my own decals as well by hand, I used to work at a sign shop. Third was Polaris predator. Only mods was red neon/ led lights all up inside the plastics and headlights. I miss them so much. I always wanted a blaster for fun. One with built motor and wider rear excel front a arms and longer swing arm. I was hoping you where going to do that on this build. Anyways keep up the good work and I look forward to catching up on your videos and future ones as well.

Which rear master cylinder did you use? The one on your description is for the Lakota or works for both?

I’m currently rebuilding an 06 blaster. Thank you for this man!!! If I had more I would send it but I’d like to support however I can!!! You’re the fucking man, dude!

Thanks!

Where did you get the graphics kit I have a 03’ blaster and I’ve been looking for a good graphics kit and I thought this was really funny and I’ve been looking everywhere and I can’t find it. Could you help a brother out and let me know whether it’s custom made by you or if you found it off of a website?

Perfect ii

W video💪🏽💪🏽

vent the air box???

You don't actually need a separate engine hour meter with that trail tech computer. It measures ART (accumulated ride time) the same way that the KTM family of brands do. It's not actual engine hours. Which I initially thought was an issue, as you probably do. But the difference is insignificant. Both in terms of the engine hours vs ART and the wear that is occurring during the time you're not moving. Unless you're spending hours and hours revving the shit out of it in your garage.

🤟🇯🇲

Why not buy a Banshee?

Ill stop. The Chinese. Juck.

Hello, I just picked up a 2004 Warrior for my son. The guy said he believes that the engine locked up. I could definitely use your help

Hey Mike, what main and pilot are you running with the lid off and the fmf pipe? Im getting a fmf pipe and i have the fully stock carb and lid on. I want to have the lid off for power when i will have the pipe, so should i change the jets? Btw love your videos

got my first quad at 18 and it was a blaster. it taught me soo much about small engines and i rebuilt that thing after blowing it to high hell

If you don’t mind me to ask, did you resell this machine? What did you end up getting for it?

That’s a girl four wheeler. All my girls friends had them. We had a club that was for 4 wheeler and most girls road them. The rest of us had banshee

gjupski e nogo

I had a blaster when I was about 14... it was probably a 93 model. Fun quad.

Jeeeeesus that thing sounds crisp!!

I like the intro to your video ☺️
Very cool build. Looks like fun 👍👍
(makes my videos look lame 😢 ) lol

You did such a great job turning this crusty quad into a beautiful trail machine

Awesome !! What size tires are those and brand ?

Nice touch with the smoke machine😅

What kind of lighting in your garage... so bright

You are awesome bud! You build some amazing stuff. Can't wait for your next project! I'm also from PA,.And I like EVERYTHING you build! And I've learned a few new things thanks to your great skills! Take care and great work! Kevin

Hi, i have a 2001 yamaha blaster and i change the stator and now is runing only in reverse...why? Need your help

watch this video just for the carburetor part 😭😭 and didnt even get to see how u tuned it

I think that would be awesome if you could do it that would be the 250 2 stroke Yamaha never made brought to life.

Since Yamaha never made a 250 2stroke quad I was wondering if it would be possible to convert a 250 Tri Z into a 4 wheeler.

Tiny means lighter I wish Yamaha just would have made a 250 2 stroke though I know they made the 350 Banshee but still.

Hey! Just watched your blaster vid. Great work on the quad! Just wanted to make a comment about the air box with the faux K&N filter. You can find a waterproof sock for the filter so that you won’t have to run the box lid and worry about the water issue. Understand that is one of your stipulations for the contest but something to consider. Thanks for the great vids.

From a man that get paid for fixing heavy machinery all the time, working long hard years on very demanding projects. Desparation has brought me to a place of cleaning up my life taking God in account and having a relationship with Jesus brought me to a place where at 57 I can truly say everything I do I complete successfully. If you get to a place of desperation try Jesus.

Is there anyway i can get in touch with you id like to show you a yz 125 build im doing i feel like you would he slightly impressed im going all out with it not for resale but for pure satisfaction of doing it man i have been stuckkk on your videos its all so freaking clean man down to the finest details much love from dahlonega ga man you are an awesome role model and a really cool guy for sharing your gift with the world!

This is awesome, Mike. Thanks for sharing. Could use some advice if you're reading these. I have an '89 Blaster that I rode as a teenager sitting in my mom's shed untouched (minus mice eating the foam) since mid nineties. The carb cap stripped on it and I gave up trying to fix it. The shed has to be cleared out and I'm now 2200 miles away. Is it worth getting it out where I am now and fixing it up for my kids to ride?

Why do I get Doug Heffernan from king of queens little brother vibes from him haha

Ever considered building yourself a media blast cabinet? For as much as you do, i think its a worthy upgrade. I have wanted one of everything ive watched you build so far. That aint easy to do lol. Thanks for your efforts.

Great video

Mychron makes really nice engine data monitors I guess that's what you call it I see them used on racing karts but they can do rpm speed engine temp egt I believe really nice pieces

I have a blaster to I’m having trouble with spark issues

Hey Mike... Marty McFly's Toyota truck was not a Tacoma. Toyota trucks from 1984 to early 1995 were not called Tacoma's, they were simply called "Pickups." The Tacomas came out in late 1995. Prior to 1993 Toyota trucks or called "Stout"... and Toyota is about to release the Stout here in America in the next year or so.

How much would it cost for someone to do all this to my quad? Need to know if it's worth it or just a new quad would be better at this point lol

Amazing freaking work man and some good laughs along the way. Make me want to either get a new quad or rebuild mine from scratch with powder coat and all but the garage I work in isn't organized at all. Plus I don't have patience or motivation to do some things in general lol. Amazing work man. 😮😮
