    If you do decide to get rid of your blast, where are you located? I might be able to have someone pick it up for me, I'm currently stationed in Germany. I have another bike to ride, so I would have all the time to tinker with it, plus I have a few gear heads in my family to help me out.

    I think you should donate it to me. I will hot rod it out, and - well. Maybe I would let you ride it once its done.

    Wait, what do you mean complete tranny rebuild? What was wrong with the tranny? How did you go about rebuilding it?

    Lol. All the gears needed to be replaced. The clutch cable broke inside of the gear case so I had to rebuild it all. Don't ask me how it happened but the teeth on most gears were missing at least half of the teeth.

    I call bull****.

    You don't open the transmission to replace the clutch cable. Even when replacing the entire clutch pack itself, you can't see inside the transmission.

    1. What did you do to the forks??
    2. The belt is nothing to complain about, it takes 1 minute and requires absolutely ZERO tools.
    3. What was "done" to the shock and why? There's several things that can be "done" to the rear shock.
    4. What was done to the exhaust?
    5. What was done to the spark plug?

    Your "list of **** done" doesn't list what was done or why.

    Jet is correct. There is no possible way that the clutch cable could have come in contact with the transmission, unless there is magic involved somehow. Also, why would you mess with the shock and forks? They are both almost indestructible unless the bike was seriously crashed.
