Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Thank you all so much for the continuous support! I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday season! Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE the video if you enjoyed! It really helps me out a lot! Check out my Instagram: 2_vintage_ Thank you all again!
Has become one of my favorite channels. Haven't been watching that long, but long enough to see you've become a damn good ATV mechanic. You've definitely taught this old dog a few tricks. Feel pretty confident on a few builds i have recently started. Thanks!
yeah but if it for the garage, a gaz or gasoline heater would be better in the way that u can turn it on and off with a click, since u arent in the garage for all day, and night
God blessed you with a great wife that doesn't mind you spending so much time in the garage. Remember to thank Him daily for her. Keep up the good work brother.👍🇺🇸😁
The Yamaha Blaster is one of my favorite ATV's made. I never got to own one but remember test fitting one back in 95', several years later there was a Honda 300 utility sitting in the driveway for my birthday, I loved that ATV but every time my buddy rode his Blaster and rode circles around me, I wanted that Blaster. haha!
I miss my 2000 blaster. It had fmf fatty pipe on it and my ex rode it with ease. Now my 97 banshee was my baby, ported, cool head, fmf fattys and screamed. I did also used to have a kfx 400, so smooth and just fun and easy to ride. Just discovered your videos and will be watching from now on. Oh yeah also had a kawasaki Lakota. Solid fun sport utility quad. So miss it.
Same 😂 , but I don't blame him , when you're in the element you need to think and check the dumbest stuff as sometimes you miss on the dumbest simplest stuff .
i tried a propane heater but it didnt last long, and for the money of each propane tank its not worth it. also love the vids man ur encouraging me to get into buying broken machines and fixing them!
Glad to see you got the DVX and the blaster running again. Before you sell or keep the DVX check the underside of the swing arm because they are notorious for getting stress cracks above and below the welds
Your vidéos are awesome!! You're making me live a dream through these videos that I couldn't realise due to the fact that I'm young, I live in a city where there is no where to ride and because I have no garage to work in. Also I learn a lot of things from you so thank you! Keep up the great work!!
it sounds kind of like the cam chain is warn out i dont know if you noticed the slight rattling sound at low rpm, it sounds like a ripper though good job! the idle seems a little high too
Thx for the Christmas gift have a good day. Asking for you to get a kfx450r would be a great gift to all us lol have a great Christmas with your family.
Safety first Sergio here, but please don't risk freezing to death in that garage. I know you're in Wisconsin, which is a different kind of cold than what we have in NC, and I don't want you to get hurt making these videos! Now my plea without a valid solution would be incomplete, so I would guess one of those construction type blower/heater combos or a propane heater with blower (these may be one and the same not sure) would work. I would also suggest a thermometer to know what you're up against, as that unheated garage due to lack of insulation can paradoxically be even colder than the outside air with the doors shut.
We've always used torpedo heaters in our garages. Which one torpedo heater would heat up a whole 5 semi wide garage in about a hour. Ur shop maybe like 10 minutes. Keep ya warm for a couple hours
I wanted to buy a 400EX to add a sport quad to my dirt bike collection but I think I have to find a Blaster instead. Love my 2 strokes. So easy to work on too.
I have a torpedo heater and eletric in mine. I used to torpedo to heat it up and then an eletric 7500 watt to keep it warm. A decent torpedo for $150 would work just fine though. Easy to use and heats up an area quick! Only downfall is the noise.
Propane wall monitor heater at Home Depot is a good option. Set the thermostat for whatever or just heat it each time u go in. Relatively cheap and lighter that heating oil.
Hard starting is from low compression from a worn top and rings, or a messed up cylinder. The wrong jetting will also contribute to a bike that wont start easy in the cold, change the pilot jet (this controls your idle to 1/4 turn throttle range) and adjust the screw accordingly (1.5 turns out as a base line with most bikes). Small adjustments 1/4 turn at a time make a big difference. Once you know your compressions not the issue, your getting spark, getting fuel, and your jetting is dialed in, the bike should start on 1-2 kicks everytime regardless.
Hey I’m sure you got rid of the blaster but if not would like to see more blaster videos. Meaning like riding and ripping blasterS. Banshees are cool too,lol
I’d put a mini split in that garage. They make them in 115v and 240v. I have a Fujitsu 115v in my 400sqft garage and it keeps it at 72 in the winter no problem. I was going to put a gas heater in like a hot dawg by modine but this mini split works very well.
Merry Christmas! You shouldn’t use a super long extension liek that when torquing down a head. The extension can twist. I get it was only 20 ft but still try to avoid it
well done for christmas day vid...... i hear florida has. ice weather, that snow and rain would drive me mad. it’s like you had 3 weeks of decent weather for an entire 12 months.... that is grim
Merry Christmas now get ready for some positive criticism i thought you was supposed to buy junk and fix them up not fix them for one ride if the wiring messed up fix it correctly and that goes for everything you can do it you got the know how I've seen you do it right and that blaster need some tuning but good job working on the getting them to run and great video
Ebay sell the portable diesel heaters bout $150 and cheaper just search "portable diesel heater" on eBay and they they don't burn diesel fast so it's good on fuel and you can look at reviews on youtube about them ,just make sure to have the exhaust on the outside and the vent to for heat run to inside and get a carbon dioxide detector for safe keeps also I heard it's best to run the machine on half or full power
dude get a torpedo heater from lowes if get a regular kerosene round heater,the torpedo is better cause you can point it at a motor when its freezing and warm it up before you start it,Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Thank you all so much for the continuous support! I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday season!

Merry Christmas to you n your family..
I got a fox racing hoodie that I wanted and I love it, merry Christmas to you to man, I am learning quite a bit from your vids
Same too you and your family.
Merry Christmas Buddy!
I have some thoughts on that tri-moto if you still have it around.
Has become one of my favorite channels. Haven't been watching that long, but long enough to see you've become a damn good ATV mechanic. You've definitely taught this old dog a few tricks. Feel pretty confident on a few builds i have recently started. Thanks!

We want to see artic cat dvx 400 vs honda trx 400
Wood burning stove almost free heat if you cut your own wood. Merry Christmas
yeah but if it for the garage, a gaz or gasoline heater would be better in the way that u can turn it on and off with a click, since u arent in the garage for all day, and night
You fixed the trans now you got to take it all apart again and fix the kicking gear. GENIUS

Dude I give you a lot of credit for attempting that job. You are becoming a pretty good mechanic.
That kicker needs some love

First of all, you need to get the garage insulated. After that, you can start looking at how to warm it up.
I don’t think it would take a whole lot and it would change his working condition a lot in the winter
So you tore a motor down and didn’t do a leak down test upon assembly?
Ikr dughh
@@Libertymongoose420 to much egg nog bro
@@TheJesusno2 lol hell yeah merry xmas
Doing that little test could save you money in the long run.
@@nathanm.3713 Very true
Thanks for blessing my feed this morning! I always love your videos and getting one Christmas morning is amazing!
When it starts revs out, but u still check spark to see if its the problem

@@carguy1013 exactly
Great content! Merry Christmas to you and everyone else!
Would have loved too see you put the trans back together and press the cases back together ! Great video
i tried a propane heater but it didnt last long, and for the money of each propane tank its not worth it. also love the vids man ur encouraging me to get into buying broken machines and fixing them!
Keep up the work mate teaching me a lot of stuff over here in Australia

How about the head light? Riding blind in no good man. Thnx for the video
Comparison between it and the 400ex? Speed run? Wheelie contest? Really curious to see how they stack up side by side.
i think you need a new kickstarter spring! noticed when you first fired it up it started to bounce around and not stay in place
You fixed the transmission but not the kickstart gear. Come on Joe...
Thx for the Christmas gift have a good day. Asking for you to get a kfx450r would be a great gift to all us lol have a great Christmas with your family.
Kfx450r vs tecate
@@coreysworld433 that would be a good race

6:21 for what was this oil?
And how do i know if i need to change the oil
transmission oil, i change mine every 4 rides on my cr
Merry Christmas 2vinage the blaster sounds great 👍👍👍🎅
A diesel cannon is a great way of heating a garage quickly. There are versions with or without exhaust
I wanted to buy a 400EX to add a sport quad to my dirt bike collection but I think I have to find a Blaster instead. Love my 2 strokes. So easy to work on too.
Nice video and Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
how does he still not know how to start a cold 2 stroke.
Everything he does he learns from watching other UA-cam videos lol
Tell me how
@@carguy1013 choke up no throttle
Merry Christmas your my fav channel and I have watched you ever sense I got my first phone💪🏻 keep up the good vids
Merry Christmas 🎄
You should do a three wheeler next lol
I use a small propane heater when I sit outside during the winter. Maybe a stove would be a better solution for you.
How did u fix the wire going to the battery
Timing chain tensions sounds bad on the 400, I had the same problem on my LTZ
FINALLY, SOMETHING THAT'S NOT CLAPPED OUT!!!
Nice man what a Christmas present 😂
Merry Christmas .. as always another great video happy holidays to you and your family please stay safe
Get a propane heater. They sell the attachments at harbor freight
Hey bud did you say no issues the kickstarting gear not catching is a huge problem
Do you not have to hold the clutch in to start the dvx?
What happened with the low compression on it?
I have a torpedo heater and eletric in mine. I used to torpedo to heat it up and then an eletric 7500 watt to keep it warm. A decent torpedo for $150 would work just fine though. Easy to use and heats up an area quick! Only downfall is the noise.
Awesome video man! I really appreciate the walk through.
When are you going to do the blaster build
Awesome quads & awesome video man
Merry merrybchristmas snd very nice build
Propane wall monitor heater at Home Depot is a good option. Set the thermostat for whatever or just heat it each time u go in. Relatively cheap and lighter that heating oil.
Ventless wall heaters work great the 5burner wall heater at lowes work with propane or natural gas
Hard starting is from low compression from a worn top and rings, or a messed up cylinder.

How much did u buy that for?!
I would recommend a torpedo heater. Mine works really good. Merry Christmas
How long did it take you to fix the blaster
Merry Christmas jo and family from the uk hope you had a great day
Hey I’m sure you got rid of the blaster but if not would like to see more blaster videos. Meaning like riding and ripping blasterS. Banshees are cool too,lol
Get a salamander with a thermostat. I live in maine and cant go without one. It will warm your garage up quick
I’d put a mini split in that garage. They make them in 115v and 240v. I have a Fujitsu 115v in my 400sqft garage and it keeps it at 72 in the winter no problem. I was going to put a gas heater in like a hot dawg by modine but this mini split works very well.
buy yourself a salamander. they have ones with thermostats now.
Absolutely second this. For the heat output, price and ease of use it's the best bet.
When your start a dirt bike or quad after a rebuild should you have the choke on or no?
Whatever works lol
Good to see im not the only one who has a ice box as a garage 😂
Really good video keep on going
Is the dvx 400 a good quad
Why is the kick starter still acting up?
Merry Christmas! You shouldn’t use a super long extension liek that when torquing down a head. The extension can twist. I get it was only 20 ft but still try to avoid it
Merry Christmas. Do you neighbors ever get mad about riding up and down the road and for making alot of noise?
well done for christmas day vid...... i hear florida has. ice weather, that snow and rain would drive me mad. it’s like you had 3 weeks of decent weather for an entire 12 months.... that is grim
Is ebay the best place to find new parts ?
@2vintige you can buy an electric heater off Amazon
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Thts awesome looks super fun, happy holidays, enjoy
Merry Christmas buddy, always enjoy the vids. Personally wood stove would be best. Low cost and great fast heat. Happy new year aswell
i love your videos
where can i buy parts for honda mtx 125
do you have anything for sale? i live in Minnesota
You have some serious issues with the kick starter on the blaster... That is not normal..
I was wondering why it had nothing there one minute then compression the next
It was frustrating watching him try to kick it over.
Get a jet heater to put on the floor. You can run diesel fuel in it also. It’ll get warm quick
Merry Christmas everyone
That articat was idling way to high when you 1st started it
Any ideas as to why I cant get my blaster to idle runs great when ur on the throttle but I cant get the thing to idle for nothen
simple carb clean, adjust idle screw, jetting could be off, clogged gas cap vent, all simple things
Done all of that even put a new carb on it. Was thinking maybe crank seals
Merry Christmas all .. just have to say u have idle set way to high on both machines lol love videos though
I just got a ridged torpedo heater. It is propane. I’d recommend. 60k BTU and $150 from Home Depot.
merry Christmas joe hope you and your wife have a good Christmas . also i’m kinda disappointed in you cheating out on getting a gasket kit
My 1997 Yamaha blaster ran and drove for the first time in 16 years
Maybe Santa will bring u a shop heater for christmas
Will you sell the dbx400
U gotta use Yamaha bond on case
Do a vid of the Dvx vs the trx400!
I know that there wicked finakey when the battery starts going bad
I believe to turn on the lights on a Articat 400 you need to turn the key all the way to the right.
You really should drill small holes i that battery lug and torch solder it. But other wise sounds good
Merry Christmas now get ready for some positive criticism i thought you was supposed to buy junk and fix them up not fix them for one ride if the wiring messed up fix it correctly and that goes for everything you can do it you got the know how I've seen you do it right and that blaster need some tuning but good job working on the getting them to run and great video

Grab a small burner that works on a propane tank they work great and cheap
