Yz125 Blaster

[dhalezx12]

I went with the yz 125 motor on our bike just to have something different. It was also a project on a budget. The motor runs good in the frame but I lightened it a bunch. I cant say for sure how it would be trail riding, but it is a blast to ride. It has also went a 5.80 flat in 330 ft . And 69 mph in the 1/8 mile. I would go for it and I think you would be suprized.

That is one sweet looking Blaster! I saw the DT200 swap that MacDizzy had on his site, I always thought that would be a great way to do a blaster. 32HP stock, liquid cooled, YPVS.... I was also looking at the Blaster/TRX hybrid someone on here was doing (sorry don't remember who it was) and was thinking the DT200 in a TRX chassis would be sweet too.

BTW, how big is you son? I would say the stock Blaster would be "easier to ride", the one I built for my wife had a 2mm over wiseco, K&N filter, FMF fatty/turbine core II, and VF2 reeds, it would pull my 200lb arse from a dead stop in 1st without touching the throttle, I could lift the front end all the way through 3rd gear and it walked all over my "built" warrior in Glamis, still impresses me how ridable that little motor is. The 85 would be more "fun" to ride, lighter, snappier etc and certainly has lots of potential, (remember only an opinion) tough decision.

My son is 4' 7" 80 lbs. and is nine years old. He has already been riding the Blaster stock. I let him learn how to use clucth on it before he got his KX 65.

keywords were "around 50" and "on gasoline" this pretains to only a bigger bore 232 cc jug ... stock stroke and no methanol ..no nitrous .... only a gas big bore if you see a dyno otherwise that is drasticly higher than 50 it is staged ,a ported 250R would have a difficult time making a true 50 rear wheel horse on gas even with a machined head ,big carb and the perfect pipe

[fastR of puppets]

tripple port 6mm 240 blasters on race gas can make 50 easily

stay with the blaster motor, the liquid cooled yz125 wont make much of a difference, as is the blaster motor revs pretty high for an aircooled, just mod the motor
