wake up x2 people!

[wadman]

anyone doing any riding? got pics? if not sell me some of your parts.

[WFO Speedracer]

X2 is apart for newer and better stuff,I am riding the 650sx conversion ski at present,I hate to say it but it rocks!

[cattledog]

hey wedo lets see some pictures,i love the x2 i wish i could adjust my water screw on top of b pipe headpipe the screw is right under the brace , i have a blaster limited chamber i do not need i bought it for 125 never used it its mint with stinger outlet i would sell it for same price to any x2 guy who needs it i will post some pictures, i hope somebody makes the engine bedplate that will allow 701 on to stock x2 hull and pump

[Vumad]

I finally got to touch my X2 for the 1st time in 4 months. I posted a tad in the build thread. I am only getting to do so much while I am in Paramedic school.

[cattledog]

good luck with school , go riding after school, we ride after work a great releif

[wadman]

finally some action over here.

wedoseadoo cool i hope it's sick when your done.

cattledog a blaster limited chamber? will that be better then my mariner pipe for my 800 x2? will i need a different gas tank?

Vumad school comes frist. when your done you will have more money and time to do what you want.

[madscientist]

get a hull brace from jetskihaven, then pull the rear brace from that side.

wedo said that rips and was a blast to ride.

i'm glad i thought of it and had the hood 75% done before i gave it to him. we are going to do ours next

are you saying yes get the blaster limited chamber? what would be the best pipe for the 800 in a x2? if this blaster limited is high on the list then i cant pass it up for the price! what else will i need? hull brace and what? thanks

[shawn_NJ]

My lightweight's motor rubbed through one one of the plug wires.....turning my ski into an electric chair. I rode back 1/4mile getting shocked REALLY bad through the throttle cable. My arm was tingling for an hour after...LOL Gotta install new coil tomorrow. I spent the 2nd 1/2 of the holiday weekend ripping on my bro's X2.

[cattledog]

you know shawn i have seen that so many times the wires rubbing on something and then going right thru, the yam coils are great but the wires they break

isnt the mariner headpipe the same as a b headpipe? if so, id say that the b1 fpp ltd chamber would be a much better chamber for an 800 than a 650 mariner chamber.

i had a bad bilge switch once and when ever you touched the bars you would get shocked. it sucked.

Vumad school comes frist. when your done you will have more money and time to do what you want. the chamber needs a factory pipe head pipe to use and the tank has to be melted , check the other builds,like crabs , or search blaster limited pipe in x2

[wadman]

isnt the mariner headpipe the same as a b headpipe? if so, id say that the b1 fpp ltd chamber would be a much better chamber for an 800 than a 650 mariner chamber.

i think the b is a lot bigger. what you say dose make sense. any one else have some input?

[cattledog]

i will take it if its not to hard for me to get in and if it is a good up grade.

[wadman]

there is more action in the post then there has been in the x2 section on xh2o in the last 2 months. lets see some new pics. or brain storm some new ideas.

[X2Pilot]

Sorry I wont sell you parts but heres some pics :-)
Yep, I was out riding with my kids and grandkids Saturday! My grandson LOVES riding with me on the X2...I started him on the SXR standing in the tray in front of me and he was never scared, so I put him on the X2 and I think he may be a litttle crazy fearless because no matter how fast I went, powering out of corners he loved it he kept telling me YEEAH! woohoo! He seriously threw a fit when it was time to stop lol

[cattledog]

nice pictures, i love the look of the new x2, is the lake mead

[X2Pilot]

Yes Lake Mead, at minus 110' of elevation. The launching has become limited, its way too crowded to go to the main launch areas and marinas, plus its dangerous...too many people in too small spaces.... so we go out to primitive sites. Its alot better riding, very few other people and the areas are very clean. However, there are many pitfalls to primitive launching on a lake with constantly declining water levels (my younger daughter testing the limits of the 4X4 lol):

[cattledog]

we were in vegas last week for my big 50 birthday we took a boat cruise on lake mead and hoping to see a x2 , since you guys seem to have a lot of cools x2s down their , it was so hot in vegas never mind the dry heat stuff, its hot , i ride kids on my x2 all the time, and kids love the looks of the x2

[X2Pilot]

The weekend before we were in Blythe, CA for the IMPROS sponsored BBSD III Jet Ski gathering. The event drew50+ boats from all over the west coast for some good times and great riding on the Colorado River. I will post some fun videos, but seeing as this is the X2 forum, I begin with some pictures from that weekend...

[w-nut]

its the middle off winter here and had snow last friday , so not to much happening here . if the weather i fine next weekend we are planning a mid winter surf trip for a hour or so. i have orderd a set off 840 pistons to build up a 840cc sxr engine for my other x2 . duel 46sbn carbs 800 programable ignition set up as a total loss v force 2 reeds and a blaster limited chamber . bring on summer

[superx2]

i hope somebody makes the engine bedplate that will allow 701 on to stock x2 hull and pump

i am hoping some one makes this too. the 701 has so much more low end hit then the 750

[WFO Speedracer]

Here are a few pics ,its still in the rough at present,I was more worried about getting it ridable than looks,it will be slowly coming along in the looks dept. http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=39215

[Vumad]

good luck with school , go riding after school, we ride after work a great releif

I'm in the last week of this semester. Then I have a month off... but I start my new job driving the ambulance as an EMT.

I'll have a bit of time soon. The hull is a hold up. I can pay Tom to install the engine (as the new pipe needs to be finagled in and tuned) and his sponsons but I can't do anything until the nose is done. I have a great deal of faith at the moment in the benefit of reshaping the hull.

[Motorheads5]

i will take it if its not to hard for me to get in and if it is a good up grade.
wadman I did a blaster limited chamber on a small pin and no gas tank mod's and it fuggin ripp's however I had to build a custom 90 deg. s/s elbow

[x2skier]

Iceracer posted a nice step by step thread on pwctoday for installing the limited chamber. I'll try and locate it......here you go: http://www.pwctoday.com/showthread.php?t=162136

We just installed one on my friend's 750 and had to:
1. cut the lord mount off the stock exhaust manifold
2. clearance (dent with a hammer) the chamber near the exhaust manifold
3. add a 3/8" water nipple to the stinger to keep the hoses form melting
4. installed a 4" ID x 3" long silicone coupler with T-bolt clamps for chamber to headpipe connection.
5. drilled 1.5" hole through both baffle plates in the stock waterbox. Doing the 1 big hole versus several smaller increases the noise considerably over stock, but does sound good to me.

We were able to use the stock 90 degree elbows and shorten the hoses but is a VERY tight and ugly fit. Getting a pre formed radiator hose with a 90 degree bend in it and then cut it to lenghth would be a better setup.

Major difference over the POS Westcoast pipe he was running. We're now putting in an SXR prop to take full advantage of the power.

[X2guy]

i am hoping some one makes this too. the 701 has so much more low end hit then the 750

Maybe in stock form but I think a modded kawi motor is the way to go. Kawis already have the stroke the yamis are looking for...I've only ridden my race ported stroker 785cc yami but I think my 800kawi is just as good and cost much less to build than a stroker. My X2 rips my arms off

For topend power, I agree with you. But bottom and mid....Yamaha wins hands down. My little limited setup 701, blows my freestyle ported 800 Kawi away on low-mid. The kawi does pull harder up top (alot harder). And thats just a 701 with a pipe. I rode my friends team scream 4mil 803cc(?)....no kawi I have ever ridden has come CLOSE to the low/mid torque power! I HAVE to have one.

[Motorheads5]

I have wondered alot about the claim to torque the 701 has. I am not in any way a veteran in the pwc era however stroke and bore along with port height's are what the two stroke are all about and I personally alway's had kawi dirt and street bikes they were the dominator's lol they were also the kx-250 and kz-900's
the crab sez the 701 is the bad boy that man is someone that you need to listen to however I still am the diehard kawi fan.
send me a yami to ride for free for one year and I will give you my honest opinion haha

Just go ride OZ's 701, then you will understand.

[wadman]

the 701 has mad torque. shawn_NJ's threw me right off the back and i own a moded 800 x2.

[Motorheads5]

I am buying another boat from the crabster and am trying to decide what to put in it we'll see I have nothing against yamaha at all. I might have to go that way.
a buddy of mine is toying with a 3 cyl. 40 h.p. four stroke tohatsu outboard motor in a js 550 hull right now and it is cuter than hell.
I'll try and get some pic's there is going to be alot of fab involved in dry sumping it and building the exhaust manifold.

You getting Crabs X2?

[Motorheads5]

You getting Crabs X2?
not the red one I am buying a x-2 hull he was thinking of building up this winter and decided not to.

[cattledog]

i wonder if any of the japanese x2 guys , have a bedplate that would allow a 701 in old x2 hull?

[Motorheads5]

I don't know the 701 motor has a different type of bed plate that is for sure.

[RAGS]

i wonder if any of the japanese x2 guys , have a bedplate that would allow a 701 in old x2 hull?

ive been thinking about this. why the need for a bed plate? (for us)
why not grind the bottom of the hull figure out any alignment and or issues. and glass in 2 10mm thick aluminum details one per side. tapped for sj mounts and spacing. once you put a 701 in there you are not going to go back.

Yeah it sucks that John won't send me a blank bedplate so I can whittle on it and make a 701 fit!

[x2skier]

I seen a couple pics of the Jap boats that used the Kawi bedplate.

BINGO, this is the right way if your going to do it.

[Motorheads5]

yeah well I think the crab has the right idea use the alum. mounting from the 701 minus the rubber mount's and then build an adapter to the stock x-2 rubber!!
I think he is onto something.

[Motorheads5]

wow where are all of you guy's thing's have been quiet ? if you are at the rock-n-ride I am jelous
