project Blastard (CHINA-BLASTER) IT'S ALIVE - Page 2

warrior91 · 04-12-2008, 01:23 AM

Say T.C. Are those yellow shocks dual rate or different spring rate than the white ones...could be a good set of shocks.They look identical to my warrior shocks(pre load adjust?), and probably were some back yard mech's cheap susp. hop up years ago... Is the rear end preload and compression adjustable with a remote rez???

Just wonderin' :?:

They look like dual rate springs and the rear is the same just bigger, no remote reservoir.
I like them and will most likely use them.
The almost complete roller is a 2001 and I need to get it titled or else I'll be stuck using the other chassis.

This project has me a bit excited since it is so close and should be a lot of fun when done.

Nimble blaster with cheap easy to get parts everywhere.
4-stroke (good for just putting around on and torque-E

)
electric start (maybe kicker back up)

I enjoyed the new blaster I bought back in 89 but now I just dont care for 2-strokes and would rather have a bike that can just pull its way thru stuff without having to rev up to several thousand rpms first.

I posted my project plan on ATVfan forums a long time ago and of course there were people just dead set against it like it was some sort of Sacrilege to put a china engine in a jap quad. :roll:
yeah so I'm gonna do it anyway.

I have been out of it for some time, and I have missed your posts I would love to see more pic's just keep bilding them.

msRandi · 04-16-2008, 07:56 PM

PS. No more vivas, but still have 2 motors left over that need a home like a nice honda xr or quid

TeamCheap · 04-16-2008, 08:33 PM

There is a yamaha big wheel 200 you know the ones with the atv tires no engine in it on EBAY just looking for someone who will care for it.

Possibly a fun project.1985 yamaha big whel bw 200/350

WHEW what a day I had to go thru.

I decided to try and get the title for the second parts blaster today while at work.

3 stops later its all set.

The first stop I didnt have ALL the sellers info.(DOH)
The second stop was to drop off the paper work with ALL the needed info.
The final stop had me nervous but I didnt see any sheriffs cars in the parking lot so I went in and it cleared WHEW.

It had to go thru a title search to see it is was stolen which always makes me nervous.I didnt think is was stolen or else I would never have bought it in the first place but you just never know.

SOOOOO let the cutting begin.

TeamCheap · 04-19-2008, 07:02 AM

So I was just messing around on the net looking for sprockets for this project and so far I guess I'll need to look for a #520 size counter sprocket that has a shaft size of 17(maybe 17.5)/5/20 but I will actually have to double check to make sure of what I have.

I guess the engine has a ratio of.....1st gear 2.769:1 (who REALLY knows what the chinese have stuck in there- :roll:

)
and the stock blaster has a ratio of 1st gear 3.091:1

The blaster sprockets stock are 13/40 - #520
I think I'll start off with a 12/40 I could probably get away with 13/40 but I dont want it to fast just fun and reliable.
(This is a friends and family quad 8O )

I want all new chain/sprockets on it and I need them to get it all lined up correctly.

I still need to play with the numbers a lot but I'm rushed this morning.
(got to take mom shopping - she's a riot

)

TeamCheap · 04-19-2008, 07:49 PM

I did some cutting today and got the engine slid in the frame.
Many obstacles to overcome like the carb hitting the botttom of the fuel tank(expected) and the need to cut the two diagonal frame members.

It is going to be a fun, challenging project.
I'll shim the tank up if I need to but first I need to get my chain/sprockets and get the major frame cut done and out of the way since it is keeping the engine from settling properly.

The carb is tight and will give me a lot to think about.

Well imageshack is down and looks out for good so I'm trying photobucket which seems to work well.

DesertDog · 04-20-2008, 01:10 AM

what frame is that quad ?
and engine ,
also what gave you the desire to do a challenge project, you've got alot of work ahead of you.
thanx for the pics

It is a yamaha blaster.

TC, will the kick start still be functional? Looks alittle tight in the area.

DesertDog · 04-20-2008, 11:00 AM

and the air hose to carb looks abit challenging

katoranger · 04-20-2008, 11:02 AM

He will have some work to do, but it will be a fun reliable ride when done.

I doubt it, it doesnt look like it will be useable but it's not really even close to where it will be sitting so I'll just wait and see.

I most likely wont be using the stock airbox but instead a K&N filter but which one?(doesnt matter right now)

I'm looking at different intake manifolds to see how I can reposition the carb.(I may have one that will work but I'll have to measure it out first)

I'll have to make a rock guard for under the frame to protect the engine that will sitting as low as I can get it.

I'm thinking I can use that chain I just need to clean the rust off of it and soak it in oil for a few weeks.

(actually I'll probably have to cut it off with the torch)

This is about how I'll have to adjust the frame to get the engine to fit a little better.
The engine is also sitting slightly to the left but I cant really locate until I have a chain and sprocket set for it and replace the swingarm bushings/bolt.

With a 12T CS I'll have the engine sitting so low to where the chain will just clear the swingarm pivot.
