Hey moto x - didn't you have your SXR on craigslist last year? Is this the one you sold? If you wanna ride I can bring an extra stand up for you. Its nothing fancy, just a 550sx-650 conversion. Something to get you around the lake if you wanna ride tho. And maybe are g/f can keep each other...

I'm down for a shirt too - Medium that is

Cool, maybe we can hook up and do something one of those nights. I will probably have the g/f with me so if anyone wants to do a group thing with there g/f or wife's, it would keep her off my back a little bit. lol. Not really sure what there is to do around there cause I've never been but...

Time off Approved! Count me as number 11. I will probably be going up Friday Saturday Sunday if any one else is around those days too. I'm gunna try and recruit more riders also. Sounds like a good time, I'll see you guys up there!

Howdy fellow Michigan riders, being that I'm a newb I was really looking forward to my first jetski event and well its said to say what this years torch lake freeride might die. I just wanted to say that I would be down to join you guys. I got some vacation time I need to use and I'm always...

also a skat trak c75 9/17 big hub is the way to go on an sxi. I would never run anything else. (I guess unless I got way more horses) but a medium-heavy mod, that's the prop to run.

Very Noticeable difference in acceleration but a fixed 6 degrees is a bit much for the high end and if your setup isn't dialed in long periods of WOT you will probably be pricing out a rebuild kit. Saying that I run it and love it, but I'm aware of the consequences. I run a blend of 110/93...

I'm thinking of doing a chop next winter. 4"-6" off the front with an extreme rocker angle, and 3" in the back. Plus I'm gunna try and make a carbon fiber hood. Possibly cut out sides and make carbon tubbies/renforcement. But I still don't know if that will be enough or will I be just...

An sxi setup for freestyle is pretty cool, its powerful, and fun to ride, and still rips on the top end. Its like having a freestyle and a race boat. BUT: ITS TOOO HEAVY!!!! I want to bf and roll!!!! AHAHHAHAHAHAAAAHHH!

Thanks for all the input. I did decide to run a blend of race gas and 93. After the first tank of straight 93 I ran threw it, it started losing power after about 30 minutes of riding, and a little detonation. So after the 110/93 mixed gas and a re-tune, It has been awesome. Although the top...

Thanks RKO. Good Info! - two81's - Kinda, its an aftermarket cylinder exchange that is a reed motor that would bolt to a stock case. So rather than having ports that the piston blocks off to exchange charged air to the combustion camber, reeds (valves) in the intake close and allow now more...

Are they pretty common or hard to come by? Performance increases over stock? oh and yeah the ski was definitally sunk, but its never been bored, so a little tlc and hone/or bore and she'll be up and running again. Thanks for the input!

I just came across a very unique cylinder exchange. I think it might be a west coast aftermarket cylinder. I was wondering if any one could confirm or deny this. It looks like it has 750 reeds and the cylinder at a stock 550 bore. I found a catalog of westcoast making a aftermarket cylinder...

I found its easiest to wear riding shoes, adidas toe shoes work great for me. Lightweight, grippy, and protection from turf.

Check out group k (www.groupk.com) these guys sound like they really know what there are doing. They have done extensive testing on everything from pipes, carbs, porting, cyl matching, flywheel lightening and nozzle boring. A lot of good information there if you take the time to read it. I'm...
