Doesn’t matter how many 2 strokes I’ve personally build throughout the years, if Michael sabo uploads an hour and a half engine build video, I watch. I don’t even own a blaster. Thanks a ton mike
@@MichaelSabo Think one day you'll do a superbike swap? Those get me drooling. I'd love to see one get done in detail like this, it would be awesome... Maybe someday?
THE best and most in to detail blaster motor tear down/ rebuild, I’ve been needing this video for months now.. all my worries if not knowing this engine like the back of my hand has went away, other videos don’t go into detail like you do, and show you every possible way to do things.. you actually explain what your doing and tell us what and not to do… which is really awesome great job mike, you really killed it with this one!!
I just watched it and then sent it to my daughter so she can go through the video when she gets out of school. We are tearing her blaster down this coming weekend and making a parts list so we can start getting her rolling. I’ll probably use the parts you have in the description, I would rather her learn with cheap parts so she doesn’t destroy something expensive. After that I’ll probably pick up some +2 alba arms and some wheel spacers in the back to give her a little more stability. Throw on some nerf bars, kill switch, and hand guards and she will be ready to go for now. I’ll upgrade shocks and stuff for her as she gets faster at riding.
Mike I just want to say I appreciate all your vids. Well done. U a good teacher. Experience shows. Your humble. Has got me looking for a project. Bought my daughter a four wheeler about 15 years ago. Was fun getting it running good and looking good. Sure u inspire everyone of all ages that love 2 cycle 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. 👍
I love the detail mike I love how you said not to take a hammer to the crank cuz you're right one little blow can knock the crank webs out of whack so much so to where you wouldn't even notice it until it's too late awesome work man as always🤘‼️
I love the blasters they are light fast and fun and the sound they make is un forgettable you are also a pretty decent rider to I love how easy it is to whip these things around.
I know these 200cc Yamaha Blasters were very underrated for there power I've seen some of these make crazy power for there size plus a 6speed transmission made em insane fast and I always thought the chassis was a little small they were awesome Quads
@@MichaelSabo yeah I ain't rode one since the late 90s and it was a weekend racer and my trail quad to through highschool and it never died on me I didn't even rebuild it like a lot of the track guys did every weekend I ran mine until compression dropped about 10-20psi and I didn't even run the single ring weisco like a lot of the competition did I used the weisco but the 2 thin ring dome top setup I did add a milled Curtis Sparks Head and a reed cage they offered for em and it was a beast plus I went to a 30mm Mikuni carb cuz mine did have the big bore jug like my warrior had one thing about every Yamaha I ever had they all came with Mikuni carbs Honda always came with those Khein or however you spell it but you have got me itching for a KFX 450R now I heard Suzuki made a 450 to and In North Alabama everyone always ran Honda or Yamaha quads and Polaris mostly but I always liked the Quad Racers I had a 250 QuadRacer 250 later on and it was awesome I wanted a QuadZiLLA so bad but nobody wanted to sell em if they had em lol kinda like 250R Honda's id really love to see A Yamaha Warrior or YFZ chassis with a YZ 250 two stroke on it I think Yamaha really missed a opportunity with a factory 2 stroke 250cc Quad
These video's are quality. People all over the world will be referencing these because you are explaining brilliantly. A variation of different engines/manufacturers and you are onto a winner. Nice work 👏
My son just traded for a blaster that supposedly had about 20 hrs on a full rebuild and it locked up after about two hours of riding. This will be perfect to help rebuild!
You are the highest most real RU-vidr I have came across. I’ve learned to much from your videos and I just wanted to thank you for all the engine knowledge you are not afraid to show if something goes wrong
Im going to need to take apart one of my spare blaster engines in a bit for a motorcycle project. This video is something ill watch a few times before i reassemble it. I have a 1972 ct175 that the engine was shot to pieces in. I decided to take a spare blaster engine and put a vitos 244 stroker kit on it with a 38 mm high velocity lectron carb on it just to see what its like. Im going to make a custom scrambler out of it. The 12volt system will be a nice upgrade from the old 6volt.
Just when I was going through withdrawals you dropped this one in. Nice. So awesome watching these well done vid's. Plus I'm an engine nerd so this one is extra good.
love when you do full rebuilds like this very helpful information i wish you had a full rebuild video on an ltr 450 im going through hell with mine right now
I just picked a blaster up last week the clutch cover was loose and could move the gasket the clutch was frozen up and the tors has now been deleted properly but it needs reeds and the head was loose as well as the chain and basically everything on it😂 I really should have gone over it better I had to rebuild the carb they had the overflow hooked to the crank breather the oil was a purple and blue milkshake color but I got it running just needs a good rebuild. Great video btw just what I needed!👍
@@MichaelSabo it definitely helps thank you I try to watch every video when it comes out love the content I also have a 400ex I've watched your 426 build a couple times now your videos help a ton!!
I I were to rebuild a video and at least know how to fix things decently and achieve great satisfaction from doing things yourself this video would be more then perfect to walk through each step just like sabo said the manufacturers ATV book is a must usually cost around hundred bucks for a brand new one I would invest in one.
Awesome video, very glad I found this. I have a 1984 Yamaha DT200 dualsport motorcycle which uses the exact same bottom end. (The DT used a liquid cooled cylinder+YPVS) and eventually I would like to rebuild it...
Biggest time saver would have been heating up the crank bearing and freezing the crank. It will literally drop in…..no need for the crank puller. Love your videos! I’m the owner of a 50+ hp drag blaster on methanol lol they can definitely be little rippers!
We need to find someone to build bilet cases for the blaster saving money up now for cnc to bring parts to the community we need to make sure we can keep all these great machines running for year to come
Awesome video man! Just wished you would have shown removing the bearings and installing new bearings oil seals. That’s what a lot of videos skip (for any machine)
This may sound funny, but one of my good friends swears by ford motorcraft rtv. Even though your surface prep is crucial to rtv performance. He said there’s something about motorcraft rtv that seems to out perform others. Funny thing is, a GM mechanic friend of his told him about this. And he’s used it on everything including his quad cases and snowmobiles. He’s had yamaha rtv fail and leak but never an issue with motorcraft.
Also any diagrams of wiring for 88-02 blasters without tors system?having troubles and watched your videos over n over again hours at times your the atv God to guys like me....thanks for your awesome videos keep them coming!!!!!
Just wanted to update my comment kinda funny after building my engine it started right up and ran great but only in reverse so now I'm back here trying to figure how what I fooked up 😅
