    Great looking ski Garcass! Love the purple head pipe. Unfortunately I've been really busy and haven't been able to update this thread which is a bit dissapointing, but life happens ya know. The good news is that all my gaskets, ARS crank seals and o rings have all arrived, so I can put the...

    What's your view look like today?

    Local ride spot was dead flat today. Normally some light chop. Love those Friday lunch time rides. Saw three turtles and some big schools of bait fish. Hosed my Dad off his ski too. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Water temp sure is getting chilly now.

    Hi Garcass, Good news for you. Next week I'll be doing a detailed post on how the hinge goes together and how it attaches to the hood etc. I took it apart to get those tears welded and then decided to go with powder-coat as well. I checked against the microfiche for that throttle cable and it...

    2006 Kawasaki X2 Refresher

    Hunkered down on Friday and got some good work done that I had been putting off. I turfed the rails as the stick on bumpers were coming off and I don't really like the OEM bumpers, and they also cost a lot of money. I think turf looks better anyway. I also "drilled" out the fuel tap and choke...

    Most of these mods were on my list, but thanks for reminding me to actually do them. I picked up a new base gasket today, along with seals and little end rollers. Just waiting on an oring set for the head and some time to put all this junk back together. Next week I'll grab some photos and...

    2006 Kawasaki X2 Refresher

    I got unexpectedly busy so I haven't had a lot of opportunities to work on this project. I found that stx/zxi steering bushes work on the G2, however the actuall shaft and arm are different as is the steering base. The shaft on the g2 seems to have a different offset than the stx/zxi setup. The...

    These are just some various reference photos in case anyone every wonders what the inside of the hull looks like completely stripped out. It seems almost identical to an sxr. You can sort of see the spot where the battery would sit in a sxr, its near the exhaust tube. I cleaned the hull a couple...

    After getting the steering cable out me and my old man started ringing around various boat suppliers trying to find a generic cable instead of the pricey OEM cable. Everyone had the correct length cable (just shy of 9ft or 2.7 meters), but they all had the wrong amount of throw (3 inches as...

    Hi Guys, Long time lurker here on the forum. I haven't posted a thread for a long-ass time so I thought I better post one with "winter" around the corner here in Australia. I've also found a lack of good photos with good details on the Gen 2 so I'm hoping to fill the void there with some good...

    Haven't posted on the x for like three years! Finally found the time to get my motor/driveline in after looking at it for like 3 months. Been too busy working on other people's skis to get time on my own ski. Summers on the way! Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
