    SXR Prop Advice...

    That is what was recommended. Wish I had known would have saved a lot of time fooling with the wrong prop. I know several people using the dynafly 13/22 and the seem ok and they are not running a pipe or head. Do you think repitching to 12/21 would work best? I heard the stock prop is...

    SXR Prop Advice...

    I have 2009 sxr with wet pipe, ada head 175psi, proks, tbm intake grate/ride plate, tbm pump cone. I put a 13/22 dynafly 5mm set back bent to 13/23 and the ski will not pull the prop. Going back to stock. The stock prop spun off bottom but way better than 13/23. I will probably have bent to...

    Other EPIC question

    I have 2010 Sj that had less than 3 hours on ski when we installed a Dasa SS865 with an epic ignition, b pipe, 49mm Full spectrums and boysened reed set up. Motor has 175 psi compression running 93 pump fuel. I put an hour meter on the ski with the new motor. I have put 2 hours on the motor...

    Full Face Helmet w/ Waterproof or Water Resistant Liner?

    After watching that video, I would never attempt that type of stunt without a neck brace and the best helmet I could afford. The neck roll he is wearing would not give me much confidence, 661 makes good products but a neck roll is no substitute for a real neck brace like the Leatt. I believe...

    Full Face Helmet w/ Waterproof or Water Resistant Liner?

    Wavedemon, that clip was hilarious I laughed out loud watching it. As for your question about me ever riding a jet ski, I raced stand up jet skis from about 1989 through 1996. I first raced a 650 Kawasaki followed by x2’s, 750sx’s and finally super jets when the 701 came out. I currently have a...

    Full Face Helmet w/ Waterproof or Water Resistant Liner?

    SJBRit, take a look at the Leatt neck brace at http://www.leatt-brace.com/. These are first rate neck braces and they have models for motocross, jet ski, karting etc. My sons started using them when they were first released several years ago and this brace with an Arai helmet was required safety...

    Full Face Helmet w/ Waterproof or Water Resistant Liner?

    My desire in posting what I have learned about helmets and head injuries during my career handling helmet cases is in part driven by what I have seen happen to people and their families when someone suffers a catastrophic head or neck injury. I have seen hundreds of films of incidents where...

    Full Face Helmet w/ Waterproof or Water Resistant Liner?

    It seems some of you are more concerned about your mug than your brains. I would hate to guess what if any standards are followed in making a kayak helmet. My guess they are made in Korea or China like most helmets and painted with lead paint. With any helmet there are risks and your face can be...

    Full Face Helmet w/ Waterproof or Water Resistant Liner?

    In my opinion, Arai makes the best helmets in the world. I spent most of my legal career representing manufactures and/or suppliers in product liability cases. I handled a lot of helmet cases and have dealt with many helmet experts. I never represented Arai but, I have seen and/or reviewed...

    Full Face Helmet w/ Waterproof or Water Resistant Liner?

    Arai VX-pro, has removable washable liner. Expensive but, the best helmets in the world. No helmet compares to Arai.

    blowsion destroyer tubbies?

    i have a set of destroyers for my 2010 sj and it seems they fit the hull contour better if they are about 4" farther back than the 41 1/2 " called for in the installation instructions. If installed at 41 1/2 " would have to pull tips of sponsons in with bolts to match hull. Anybody else...

    Rick Roy Pole on SXR problem

    They had the widder bushings shipped to me and they were labled "Bu Kaw" and are widder than the SJ bushings. I think wrong bushings labled for Kawasaki. I am going to get calipers out and measure thickness which, should tell rrp what the bushings are for. I don't think the stock sxr bracket...

    Rick Roy Pole on SXR problem

    Pole is new and had SJ bushings in box and had to get SXR bushings shipped after got pole. Seems that there are only 3 possible bushings sets for SJ, SXR and HS. Do you think the nylon spacers are a problem.

    Rick Roy Pole on SXR problem

    Installing RRP pole on 2009 sxr. I have the Kawasaki bushings that are widder than the SJ bushings but I have 1/4 " gap between the pole and stock sxr pole bracket. I read other post and it seemed others have had to actually trim their bushings to make them fit the bracket. I have made two 1/8"...
