FX-1 Registry

[DangerBoy]

Since the Yamaha FX-1 was only sold in the USA for 2 years

Lets see who here has them, and how many you got.

Ill start. I have 6 plus a hull that Im going to use to splash molds off

2 with 144 pumps are my current surf boats and have been thru hell
1 project boat with a 140 mag pump and stroker big bore
1 stock for the wife (but it does have foot holds)
1 surf boat with stock pump for the flat days
1 hull for molds ect
1 brand new, never run or had gas ,was only on display (For Sale)

My brother in law has 2 with basic mods (pipe prop Head)
Special FX you said you have 5

[special fx]

I do have 5, but one is an empty hull.

1 - 650 Kawi pump mod w/61x ported cyl, wetjet intake. (AKA; Frankenstien)
1 - 650 Kawi pump freshly painted and getting a big bore 62T/61X
1 - Old School stock pump boat with fresh wetjet 701 engine......soon to get a Kawi pump and a 900 zxi motor.
1 - Stocker for the Girly.
1 - Empty hull for future projects

I count 24 FX-1s (25 if you count Joe B's half FX/half square nose) at my riding spot, but I'll let those folks chime in for themselves.

[Idok]

I have one as of now....sold one at daytona


also have my f1-pro...its a direct fx1 splash with the body lines cleaned up and a full SJ intake..


I kicked around selling my other fx..but I cant do it

Ill stick it in the shed and keep my eye out for a 144 pump for it..

[Flash-FX]

I've got 2...so far

1-Running test boat (runs really good)

1-Sacrificial Plug boat (for mold creation, real ugly)

Some BIG rolls of fiberglass & carbon cloth (more to come)

[hardcore]

I had 3 and had to sell one, but looking for another one. My friend has 2 and another guy around me has 2.

[rydehard]

I've got a 94' in mint condition. Stock except turf and ride plate.

[hardcore]

I have 2 1994 models.......One is stock and the other has pipe/head!

Hows the turf and paint hold up on the pole and tower?

[dirkdiggler]

really good

[mxr181]

I just sold my Sj & picked up a stock 95' a few weeks back...its all stock and untouched. It even had the original spark plugs with the yamaha grey engine paint on them! I just got an R&D intake grate and Protec Ride Plate, and I am looking to do footholds, turf, bildge, and trying to decide between a better prop or save up for a 144mm pump.

[mxr181]

Dirk...what did you use to paint the plastic pieces on yours?

[dirkdiggler]

I used Black automotive paint from wal-mart!

[tshank123]

I got a 95. Pretty much stock besides the factory pipe and handling mods. I'll get around to a pump mod one of these days.

[LBE]

I have 1.
Built to surf specs with a 144 pump, bpipe/head.

I'm about ready to sell it though, I think....

[infamy]

i only have one. 144 pump, ada head, b-pipe w/fx chamber, 12/17 skat swirl, wcf footholds, lightened flywheel, shortened pole, scoop grate, quadrafin ride plate

[JoeD]

[Odd Duck]

Got a '95 w/B-pipe, 144 pump, footholds/turf, -1 turn plate and quick turn mod, otherwise pretty stock so far.

[Wave Chaser]

I have a '95 purchased it new and have beaten it into the ground. Added protech ride plate and R & D scoop grate when purchased and modified the steering for quick turn.

Last winter added a 144 pump, b-pipe, custom tubbies, milled head, UMI straight bars, and used a Blaster prop for now.

[Wave Chaser]

Yes it did.

Wish I had found the X sooner but better late than never.

[mtedder]

I have one 94 all stock. I have a neighbor who has three and another neighbor who has four. On my small lake in Michigan there has to be 10-15 fx1's.

[m@t]

i'm new to the sport...my first ski! got it stock...fx1 95 stored 8 years

[Lurker]

I have 1-1995. I have had it for four years. The day I got it I did a makeover because it was so ugly and purple :rant:

I did the usual paint, turf ,umi bars, plate , grate and foot holds but then I figured while I was at it I would try some tubbies. I rode it like this with stock motor and pump for three years.

I may have kept it this way but the stock pump sucks, as luck has it my motor took a crap and my midshaft bearing was a ball of rust so it was the perfect time for a redo.

So this year my baby got a new makeover that you cant see 61x ,mod B-pipe,ADA head,wet jet intake,46m carb,Kawi 140 pump,skat prop ,Wet wolf cone and super secret ride plate.

63044

63045

I love this thing and will never sell it.

[special fx]

Looks cool ! I was wondering if you had finished the pump mod and how you liked it.

[Lurker]

Looks cool ! I was wondering if you had finished the pump mod and how you liked it.

Im still fine tuning the new engine combo but I love the new found hookup with your world famous pump conversion. I cheaped out on the pump cone and got a stubbie cone instead of the R&D but it still hooks really well.

Thanks for your write up and research on this conversion and also thanks for your help with the bearing.

[hardcore]

i have 1 like it better than the sq i had

Damn, thats what mine is going to look like when its done. With the side rails like that. Nice job.

anyway, I have one fx-1, and an extra hull that's getting a 144.

[hardcore]

I just got the 144 pump and getting ready to send it off to Bob. I can't wait til summer comes.

[Wetracer]

[seatsR4toilets]

I have two:
1) A 1995, with under 50 hours on it
2) A 1994, surf ski under the knife

[95FX1]

Pic added!!

Love that ski

[sj701]

I've got/had 2 95's

one is bone stock and I'm hanging on to it, may put a 650 pump in it someday. I mostly ride flat water.

the other one I had is sold to another member here on the forum he just hasn't picked it up yet.

[Algonquin]

Have a '95

It currently has a 650 pump with 13/22 dynafly, waterdawg hood and pole bracket, group-k ported cylinder, wetjet intake, 46 blackjack, mrd girdled head, factory b, rev footholds, r&d intake grate, protec rideplate, billet couplers, msd enhancer, blowsion one way valve, reinforced bondline with glass and carbon.

I think thats it. Still a work in progress.

[Smokin'FX-1]

I finally found a good deal and broke down and bought an FX-1. Actually I was actively searching for one. Best decision yet. Ski feels so much better to me over an SXR or SJ. I even got my wife hooked on it, who usually prefers her X2.

760, single sbn44, Factory B-pipe, Pro-tec plate & grate, Pro-tec cdi mod, Solas 19/25, and custom footholds.

Here's some pics from today -

[KR]

I am now the proud owner of another FX1.

1 w/ Kawasaki 140 mod

1 w/ Yamaha 144 mod

:)

[PrickofMisery]

I'm in. Had my 94 since 96. Going to pull the trigger on another for strickly surf riding. It's been stock ever since. I have started to compile parts to mod over winter. Currenly have JD palte and grate, Enhancer, FPP FX-1 pipe, FPP SN H2O box, K&N Filter.

WTB Riva Girdled head, Lightweight charging flywheel, and ???.

Would like to do the 144 conversion but need more insight, as I wont spend what Blowsion wants. What hull mods are need to acommodate? Thanks

[FxOne]

send a SJ pump and 600 bucks to bonzai bob and have a bolt in pump

[PrickofMisery]

send a SJ pump and 600 bucks to bonzai bob and have a bolt in pump

Are hull mods required? Is bonzai bob his logon? Thanks

Edit- searched and found info. Thanks

[Wetracer]

I believe it is bolt in and go.

[KR]

Need to get a blowsion pump shoe for superjet, requires minor trimming. But yeah, an FX1 driveshaft, superjet pump, $600, got yourself a bad ass ski. The Kawi conversion is roughly $350 w/ lots of work. Yamaha conversion is roughly $800 w/ no work. If anyone knows its me, because I did both. If I could do it all over again, I would have never done the Kawi conversion unless I had the experience/knowledge of doing it. Their is a lot of glass/sand/glass/sand etc. trying to get that perfect allignment. $500 more for the parts and services as opposed to the Kawi conversion is much easier and the result is even better.

[Melmack]

One on the way! Using my SN for a doner to build it all. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e22/Melmack9/MyFx-1.jpg

[thomasracing]

I have one empty fx1 hull with tubbies and footholds intake grate etc. that i am trying to get a motor for. Or i just might sell the hull.

[butti]

[SUPERJET-113]

Love the WCF type gunwale cut on your FX Spazzit. Thats a nice looking ski!

I'm curiouse, wht's the deal with that? Is there a reason to do that?

[Idok]

just for looks..

[SUPERJET-113]

I think it makes the Fx-1 look like a new style freestyle/freeride hull.

[seatsR4toilets]

I just picked up THREE more skis this week.
I got two AC aluminum handlepoles, a blowsion carbon fiber hood, multiple aftermarket ride plates and intake grates, and three complete motors, two 62t and one 61x, and a TON of motor parts, as well as a true FX-1 B-pipe with a FX1 limited chamber (not a dented superjet one).
That made my total 5 FX-1 skis this week, but I sold one on Wednesday.
I now still have FOUR FX-1's, and a TON of FX-1 parts.

I'll post the pics tomorrow night.

Life is good....:Banane09:

[DangerBoy]

Scooooooooooooore


Good job Seats

I added one to my collection as well, left it in Australia in capable hands ,

[spazzit]

:biggthumpup:

[BombThreat]

how far did you have to travel for those fx1's?

[seatsR4toilets]

1,600 miles round trip in two days.
Glad I took the dog along for company and to keep me awake. It was rough. Lotta driving out in the country in the middle of Nowheresville.

[JSmith5690]

I am the one that bought the stocker from seats. I was one of his stops on the 1600 mile journey. Now I am loving my new FX-1. I just gotta get used to riding it.
I did take a little pleasure in showing seats my restored Blaster sitting in my shop.

[seatsR4toilets]

(drool)

[kustumk31]

got one a few years ago from a farm in the middle of nowhere with less then 20 hours on it.... best ski i have ever owned

[Spunky]

(Above post was posted by melmack under wife's account)

[Melmack]

Yea yea yea, he must be a cool guy to have bought you his dream ski before he even got his FX together. What a great guy. Love to meet a cool dude like that. :biggthumpup:

[waxhead]

yeah danger boy left one with me on the pretense that if he leaves it here i am going to ride it

I have a pipe to put on it now , the pipe was free so its all good
Will be waiting here for your freestyle routine when you get back danger boy

[DangerBoy]

It was all a ploy Wax, I m merely hoping you sink it so I can use one of these other skis in your garage

back soon I hope

[waxhead]

Ha ha

yeah well shed is full of skis at the moment
Im going to fix that stator next i dont like the look of that at all

[Bscott1218]

Well here is the one I built and sold. Would love to buy it back if anyone has seen it Thanks

[Melmack]

Anyone know wich midshaft fits the fx? I know its the big one but does a 94+ sj midshaft work as well? I tried my Vxr-pro shaft and it goes back in to far.

[Idok]

fx has its own midshaft..housing is the same as roundie and B1, but the shaft is shorter than the rest

[Melmack]

That sucks, guess I need a FX midhaft then, darn! Anyone got one?

[SUPERJET-113]

I just picked up a 94 FX-1 and plan on keeping it for a long time. It will be perfect for my daughter too.
A very cool baby Suyperjet, I love it, and best of all its a Yamaha! Getting ready to paint mine. I cant stand that gay purple.
I'm gonna go with that new bright metallic chevy orange and vinyl dye all the purple bumpers, etc. black w/black turf. Also the bottom will be black too.
I may go with a nice bright red/black too, I have decided yet.

Bscott1218, that thing is beautiful!

I just bought a 95' today and am about to do the same except painting. That purple was a bad choice...

[dbredleader]

Mine is a 94 fresh from surgery... feetholds, 140 mm pump, "Tubbie" style front sponsons. hope to ride holiday weekend. I will have to paint later, too much screwing off last off season.:bad:

[Goosalandi29]

just bought one this summer and am getting ready to install 144 superjet pump

[motoman96]

Just picked up a 94 FX1 today, awesome ski that I have wanted for sometime now. Got a great deal on a clean ski.

[200%Absolut]

Just own one for now 4 months
Rode it for 2 months now i love it !!!

Really need to do the pump conversion and add tubbies this winter.

[FX1Honkey]

I'm new here, and just bought my FX1 a little over a week ago. I had a pumped up RN before it, and a whole bunch of 440s. I found I really enjoy riding those old skis, and when I first rode an FX1, I absolutely loved it. I can't believe they don't make something like it anymore. Anyhow, I got a really cherry one, and I have some plans for it. I too, would like to get ride of the purple, and redo the gelcoat underneath in white. Anyone done this before?

[SUPERJET-113]

Welcome to the X Honky! lol

I would just sand and paint over the gelcoat. Its a lot of work to re-gel coat a bottom, especially if you want to remove most of the old gel coat.
On my FX-1 I just fixed my chips and gouges with white gel coat, then sanded it and painted it with a single stage polyurethane Enamel auto paint.

[MNTURBO]

i recently bought my fx-1 from yamanube - I love it!!

Thanks dude!

I know it's a lot of work removing gelcoat. I just HATE the way something looks when it chips, and the old color shows through. It looks so cheap to me. I don't want to ruin my skis resale value although I don't really plan on selling it. The thing is, I'm worried about the paint peeling where the ski rides the trailer, the inside of my suv, the beach stand, or the logs and obstacles I bunny hop but occasionally come up short on. It just seams like gel coat is the right way to do a color change underneath.

If I so sand through all the old stuff down to SMC and re coat, is there ever any known problems with adhering?

[just joe]

Add me to the list. I have an FX1, Sj, and SXR.

My FX1 has been a 3 year build, starting from a 62T ski bought from Mile9c1 on the board 4-5 years ago. While in the process of this build, my FX1 has seen 3 different houses and 2 different states, most recently moving from Michigan to California a year ago, and I'm finally getting around to finishing it.

Cool thing for me is that I have done 100% of the work other than the pump conversion. This would not have been possible without this forum and tons of patience from my wife.

Buildsheet:
Hull
Carbon reinforced hull (2 layers of 5.5oz on sides, btm, front, pole bracket area)
Carbon wrapped pole -2"
Umi standard turnplate/sealed bearing

Sato adj. steering nozzle (but considering using the Protec that came with the pump)
-2mm cutback 13/18 swirl
Wolf cone
epoxied and ported 62T cases (done by yours truly thanks to all the info on the X! )
Ported 61X cyl 81.5mm bore- sportport template and much X info, especially from Matt_E

+ many other minor parts


I just finished painting it with some HOK hues, but unfortunately it isn't sitting well with me. Color wasn't what I expected, and the design looks better in pics than in person. So I plan to re-do it over the next couple weeks with Titanium Pearl, Tangelo Pearl, and flat black.

Oh yeah, this build almost killed me. When grinding a crappy casted JD grate on my 6" bench grinder, half of the stone broke off (1 lb) and hit me in the face. Luckily a broken orbital, nose and some stitches were all that happened. Had it hit me in the forehead or side of the head, I might not have been able to write this.

[fx_obession]

I only have one 94'. But I am the original owner, purchased new in August of 1994. Man I getting old....

[FX-Rex]

im the second owner of mine and it had very low hours when I got it.

[jhall752]

im the second owner of mine also but my dad was the first. you all might hate us but kr and i had an extra fx1 hull that he screwed up on mods with and decided to turn it into a cooler but when we are done it will be awesome

[seatsR4toilets]

Well here is the one I built and sold. Would love to buy it back if anyone has seen it Thanks


Ummm......I think I may have seen it....:27::27:

[seatsR4toilets]

Well, I've got two more.
That makes my current total four right now as I type this.
Subtract two that I sold last month, one to Idok, one to Butti.

Here they are. I had to buy both to get the one I wanted, which is the gold one. It's a keeper for sure.
I just aquired all the supplies for a 140mm conversion, and it will make it's way to Thrust Innovations after that for a new style scupper. Tonight I'm bolting on a Jet Dynamics intake grate and Jet Dynamics ride plate that I've been saving on the shelf for just a ski like this. They are like new.
The white one IS for sale if anyone is interested.

So, as of today, I have owned 12 FX-1's.
This might very well be it for me.
I think I'm finally getting to the age where I need an SXR just to stay standing out in the surf.
