Finally (after 2 years of sitting) I've got my 2001 Blast up and running. But have an issue- after I bought it I had to rebuild top end due to a bent valve and damaged piston. I've got it put back...

So after messing with swivels, different extensions, etc. pulling the shock made getting to them very easy. 3 minutes to remove the shock is well worth it.

I"m trying to pull the foot peg Y brackets to start working on my rearset. I've seen somewhere a post talking about a trick / technique to remove them but can't find it now. Any suggestions? I can...

There is an exhaust stud that is broken so pipe was not seating well. My theory is that caused the valve to burn/stick. The pushrod bent pressing against valve.

Would this issue damage lifters or...

So I bought a 2001 Blast Yesterday with 6k miles on it.
