Author Message   Jimduncan69 Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 09:51 am:        i have been looking for a blast for my girlfriend. we found a couple 2000 blast's for around $2000. is there any thing that we should look for? or should know before we get one. this will be her first bike. i think a blast would be perfect for her to learn on. thanks in advance for any help!   Steve_mackay Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 10:06 am:        I've got one I'll sell ya, near Milwaukee http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/171722.html?1138429657   Jimduncan69 Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 10:19 am:        thanks Steve. that is a good deal. but milwaukee is a little to far for us. is there any mechanical issue's we should be looking for? thanks again!   Ulywife Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 12:34 pm:        Gary - there is one recall that a friend had done to their Blast! Seems like it had something to do with the wheel or sprocket...... Of course, everyone is out riding and I can't remember what the affected part was. When they return, I'll ask them and have my husband (M2nc) post the details. I think you can have the vin number run on any Blast! you find to see what, if any, recalls have been done. You may also want to read on the Thumper Thread, it's dedicated to the Blast!

I have just enough information to be dangerous. Best of luck on your search. What part of OH is Piqua in? We moved to NC from Cincinnati and still have family there. Kristi   Jimduncan69 Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 02:52 pm:        thank you ezblast. Kristi we are about 1 hour north on I-75. what part of NC are you at? we moved from Rocky Mount NC to Oh when i was a teenager. small world   Ulywife Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 03:33 pm:        OK - this world is getting smaller and smaller as I type. We live in Grifton, it's between Greenville and Kinston. We are headed to Wilson right now for my son's 2 year pictures! Let us know if you're ever in the area.   Jimduncan69 Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 03:52 pm:        we sure will.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, May 20, 2006 - 09:41 pm:        The 2000s have a paper rocker box gasket. This will eventually start to leak and need to be updated to the metal gasket used in the 2003 and later models. It's not really a big deal, just something to keep in mind.
