Best yamaha out there that I know of lol. Post up some more info like what needed to be made and/or modified to stuff that engine in there. How's it handle all that awesomeness? What year engine and quad?
-
I had to modify the frame. I wanted to make it so I didn't have to chop up the pipe to make it work. Also so I could run a full radiator in the frame. It all fits but is tight. The motor is a 94 kx that I rebuild from top to bottom last year. Than early this year on a ride I hit a tree. Screwed up the bike. Anyway, the blaster is a 96 that was modified prior by me to run a cr125. It ran good but I needed more. Since I didn't have the money or time to rebuild the bike, I sold the roller and built the blaster to hold the kx. I made a 2 piece front mount to make more room to install and remove it. Had my brother in law take it for a shake down before I tore it apart to finish. Said it rides great, lots of power but needs some tweaks to get on the pipe faster. Here is a pic of the modified frame in its current condition. I made all my gussets and have them taped in place. Welding the in this weekend.

I'm also thinking ab out trying some hare scrambles with it next year.
-
Modifying a pipe is a pain in the a$$. I ended up spending a couple months learning the ins and outs of expansion chambers so I could modify one to fit in my K5 LT250 combo also known as "Goatzilla" If I had to do it again I would build a pipe from scratch or make the frame fit the pipe like you are.
Where are you located? I'd run scrambles with ya either on the KDX4 or Goatzilla.
-
I'm located in michigan. I'm going to invest in tooling to make or modify frames to do more hybrids.
-
I'm in the Bay City/Midland area. We should get together for some riding or building. Next project is going to be a long travel suspension single seat gocart with a ridiculous size engine in it. Just not sure what engine I want to go with yet lol.
-
I'm in east lansing. Bay City is a bit far but I do go up that way to ride. I do a lot of riding in mio trails

I spend most of my riding time in West Branch/Rose City area at Ogemaw Sport And Trail. It's a great place and the owners are very nice.
Quad looks excellent :D
Hit me up before your next trip up this way. I'll bust out the KDX4 and Goatzilla anytime.
-
Heck yeah, I'll let you know. I've been to ogemaw sport and trail. Nice place to ride track. I don't ride track anymore but I do trail ride.

Thank you. Working hard on it. Just picked up a kx500 motor to do another hybrid. Only problem is, it needs parts. It's missing some stuff.

I know this is a little bit older post but just wanna say,thats a bad ass Blaster Dave :evil: ..
-
man, I know this is an old thread but this is a sick quad, im doing the same engine in an 85 LT250r frame, did you have any issues with vibration? everyone says it will vibrate too much because of not having a counterbalancer. I was think of using rubber mounts to dampen it, but is that even nescessary? i dont mind a little vibration as long as it doesnt crack the fram like people seem to say it does.
