Blaster trouble (gears???)

[Kerick]

Another problem with one of my machines...I was riding normal and all of a sudden the gear stared clicking then it stalled. Its starts when i hold the clutch but not when im in neutral...It also only shifts into the first 2-3 gears. Right when i was going to trade a guy it!

[SYKO]

dude you need to save up and buy a NEW machine with an EXTENDED EXTENDED warranty!

cant help you with the blaster but it sounds like one of the shift forks went adios!

[MonroeMike]

Kerick, you broke another one of your rides? You have no luck.

[Kerick]

i have terrible luck with my machines lately i wasnt even riding it hard either just cruising around my dad doesnt let me take things in to the shop right now because we dont have money to fix it really....Is this anything i could fix or is this bad? I it a whole gear or 2 or 3 or??? I dk what it is

[SYKO]

blasters you have to split the cases to deal with the gears....

[Kerick]

i dont even know what that means so i guess im screwed...this is great right before im selling/trading it too:rolleyes:

[rdlsz24]

Split the cases means you take the top end off, and then you take the clutch cover and stator cover off. You're left with the transmission/case assembly. Syko is saying you have to split this in half. Not a fun job.

Oh........Dammit

[scott zimmerman]

you can leave the top alone flip it pull the bottom off and your tranny is right there not that bad fix it yamaha bond it back together good to go about $120 if u do it your self

[rdlsz24]

Does the Blaster bottom end split top and bottom like the Banshee? I'm not familiar with Yamahas or 2-strokes lol. I was describing what it would be for a 4-stroke.

well i dont know how to do it myself lol (im 14) i know how to do some basic stuff but nothing like this...But first id like to know what the problem is...heres what it does...Starts when i pull in the clutch and like sticks when im in neutral( kicker wont go down) It still RUNS GREAT but then if i do start it (in clutch) I put it in gear and it goes rrrrr and dies LOL

[scott zimmerman]

yes it splits like a banshee get a manuel for it and have at it you can do it i have faith in you make it a project for you and your dad to do together

[Kerick]

well my dad has little experience on engines and neither do I but can i leave the engine bolted in and take the right side cover off to look at the gears? How do I tell if somethings wrong? Ill need to find a manual

[SYKO]

your going to have to remove the engine to work on this man.

[Kerick]

should i just try changing the gear oil before i tear it down? It still Does shift into 1st and neutral so im thinking MAYBE(I HHOPE) its not completely screwed. Would this help or would it just be a waste of oil?

[SYKO]

dout changing the oil will help.

[Kerick]

k..............

Here's a thread with a post to a older blaster manual, not sure if that will help.

It COULD be in the gear case, but it could also be the parts that turn the shift drum and hold it in the gear you select. Take off the right side cover 1st and make sure nothing came loose or broke in the shift mechanism.

If you don't have the shop manual, get one and read/look at all the pictures of the mechanisms and then you may feel a bit more comfortable taking it apart.

Far too many people sell machines due to shifting problems and many times it's a loose bolt, worn pawl or broken spring etc etc etc..... :D

[Kerick]

that manual wont work for me...

[MonroeMike]

Check ebay for a manual.

[brapp]

ok first of fthe motor splits down the center verticaly not horizonaly liek scott simmerman says!!! and second to check the rachet mechinisim and shift star/ drum assembely. you can leave it in the frame but if the torx head screw on the shift drum that holds the shift star on works loose you will chip the shift drum and it willonly shift 1-3 i have had this happen on 4 diffrent blasters trough the years. easy way to check is pull clutch cover and remove clut assembely basket and all . then your shift shaft will slid eout and alow you to swing the shift rachet out of the way and check for any sort of play . do not attempt to repair if the drum is chiped it will not work i have tried jb welt , locktite and even weldign and not had many good results.

[Kerick]

ok i will need to get a manual because i dont really understand that but i bet it will be useful when i get a manual...

[Kerick]

Ok my friend and i took the gearbox apart and all the gears looked good...clutch plates are amazing...soo I have NO idea what it is and this stupid repair place put the crappiest gasket in my gearbox thats in pieces so i have to get a new one...Should i part it out? Ill never get any money out of it unless i do

[brapp]

the blasters are the easiet machines to work on . if you want help fixing it let me know i have alot of experianc eint he blaster motors, if you want bring it down soem weekend and well tear into it snd gte it figured out and back togetherin no time!

[Bryan Raffa]

why dont you throw that thing in the car and drive over to my house and Ill take a look at it ..:p

[Kerick]

I just noticed that the one clutch plate(farthest in) Will NOT move when i pull the clutch lever...Could this be the problem?

[Bryan Raffa]

usually you will only see the outer plates move ,checking it that way , thats quite normal

[Kerick]

oh ok...then the clutch plates are good

[philmoore]

A similar incident happened to me years ago. I was cruising along in 6th gear and it locked up tight. I had to tear it down and found fourth, fifth, and sixth gears were broken. Had to replace all three gears.

[Trosar]

waste of oil unless theres nothing in it you should check

[Kerick]

well i traded it for a YZ85 and sold the 85 looking for a 125 if anyone has one near me let me know Thanks!
