Blaster 200 YFS200 1988-2006

Replace in Pairs: While you can buy just one, suspension should always be replaced in pairs. If one shock is new and the other is 15 years old, the ATV will pull to one side and handle unpredictably during jumps.
Grease the Bolts: Before sliding the mounting bolts through the new shock eyelets, apply a thin layer of waterproof marine grease. This prevents the bolts from "seizing" to the metal sleeves inside the bushings—a common headache on older Yamahas.
Jack Placement: Lift the front of the Blaster by the frame until the front wheels are off the ground. This unloads the suspension, allowing the old shocks to slide out easily without the A-arms falling.
Torque to Spec: Tighten the upper and lower mounting bolts to approximately $32 \text{ lb-ft}$ . Over-tightening can crush the mounting tabs, while under-tightening will lead to a "clunking" noise when hitting bumps.
Check Your Bushings: While the shocks are off, inspect the A-arm bushings and ball joints. If there is "play" in the front end, a new shock won't fix the vibration; you may need to replace the bushings as well.

🔍 Troubleshooting Guide

Issue	Possible Cause	Solution
Suspension "Bottoms Out"	Weak spring or heavy rider.	If the shock collapses fully on small bumps, the spring preload may be too soft. Note: These are factory-spec; for riders over 200 lbs, heavy-duty springs may be required.
Squeaking Noise	Dry mounting bushings.	Remove the mounting bolts and apply waterproof grease to the inner sleeves. Most squeaks come from metal-on-metal friction at the mounting points.
Oil Leaking from Shaft	Blown internal seal.	If you see oil pooling around the bottom of the shock or on the spring, the internal seal has failed. The shock is non-serviceable and must be replaced.
Uneven Ride Height	One shock is worn or bent A-arm.	Measure from the frame to the ground on both sides. If they differ, ensure both shocks are seated correctly and that the A-arms are not bent from a previous impact.
Harsh/Stiff Ride	New shock "break-in" period.	New shocks can feel stiff for the first 1-2 hours of riding. Allow the internal valves and seals to seat before making final judgments on the ride quality.
