Hi, I've had my Blaster for a year now, selling it and getting a car.
Overall it has been a good little bike. Bought it for £1500 on a 07 brand new. Got it de-restricted when I had done 500 miles.
I was getting 50 all day long, and 40 up hills, and the occasional 65 on a carriageway when it wants to move, but due to my research I have discovered a few problems...
The mudguard screws tend to come out very easy, so you find yourself constantly replacing them.
The exhaust gets very hot and rusts extremely easy, which is an eyesore...
The mirrors come slack very easy; you may as well not have a boot, it is that small; just enough space to fit a box of cigarettes, and when you first start it the acceleration is red hot, but tends to die after about 15 minutes of driving it.
Like someone said, not a scooter for the wet; I found myself coming off doing 50mph round a roundabout (lucky to come away with a few bumps and scrapes), but all in all it's the best scooter I've ridden.
It just has its minor faults, which ges on your nerves, and performance wise I would recommend putting a Doppler Powerpipe on; you can get them from www.adrenalin-pedstop.co.uk, but make sure you de-restrict it before installing it. You can also get a Doppler chrome air filter from there, which looks very sporty and increases the performance and stops the bike sounding like a hairdryer.
You can purchase a boots bottle, which increases your fuel to air intake, giving the scooter a little boost at the push of a button, and I would recommend getting Lexus rear lights installed instead of the standard; they're a bit plain. Also carbon fibre look alike indicators, and a pair of Michelin tyres.
After tackling the Blaster's minor faults, and taking time and effort to purchase the right performance upgrades, the Blaster is definitely the one to leave your friend miles behind and turn the heads of others. All in all, not a bad little ped ;)
Hey, I am interested in getting an RS12 Blaster in a few months as I'm still only 15 years old, but a few of my mates have peds and said you can't ride them on dual carriageways? Is this true or are they just mad :S.
Thanks.
Greg.
This is a good scooter but waay to expensive:| I've got 4000km on the clock and my rear lights don't work, my indicators don't work, and my exhaust is the rustiest thing I've ever seen.
And the closest garage to me is about 50 miles away :|
Still to get it de-restricted, but I get 40 easily :)
MAIN JET PLEASE HELP.
I love this bike, been on the road with it for a good 4 months now, haven't fallen off it yet, and is so easy to ride! Beats all my mates mopeds in acceleration by a long shot every time, and still fully restricted but does 40mph.
I was wondering if anyone could help me... if you know what size the original MAIN JET is that comes with the moped? Just that I'm looking to get a new air filter and exhaust for mine... and it says upgrade the main jet by 10-15mm. Would help if I knew the actual size of the original. If anyone knows the size of it please get in touch at : georgeyreyn@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks.
Great bike.
Do not need to get it de-restricted; mine does 40 restricted.
Good acceleration; beat all my mates.
Very good bike; worth its money.
Help. I have a ex paddock RS 12 Blaster with 200 miles on the clock. It's restricted and will hardly touch 35. How do I make it go faster?
