IROOST1 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have a blaster i am looking to buy. I got it from one of the shops i deliver to, its a friend of his. And its been in his big ass garage for 4 years sitting. I brought it home, and it has no compression, so i took it apart. The piston is totally shot. The rings are smashed in and there was a lot of metal transfer. I think the oil injection failed and the air filter was torn. So it needs a crank and bearings too. Along with various little parts. He doesnt want to give it to me for free. So i offered him 175 with a title and am waiting for an answer. Is that a good deal? ANd to the main question, i dont know what year it is. It has white plastic, pink shocks, and a teal colored seat. I have the engine and vin #, what way is there to tell what year it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaotik1 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I think the pink and purple shocks were like 91-93 Most blasters are the same all the way up to 2003 when they went hydro on the brake system. Even at that the motors were the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPRuck Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Didnt you say with a title? Title will tell you the year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IROOST1 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yeah, going through someone is diffucult getting information. I just need to know if its worth it or not. I was guessing its a 92 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 For 175 bucks how could you go wrong? I have a set of spindles and hydro brakes for the front if you want to make an offer on them. They would be prefect for that project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunyabinness Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 i don't care what year it is... $175 with a title is definitely worth it. you could part that thing out and get more than $175. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IROOST1 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Back 8 spaces in a M. And i have a spare banshee front spindles, calipers, and yfz450 master to do the brake upgrade. Well as soon as i get news on if he'll take the 175, i will start fixing. IF HE DOESNT TAKE THE 175$, WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST TO PAY FOR IT?

jbooker82 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 It should be a 1991 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
