Yep!

Putting a 9/15 hooker was the biggest performance boost to my 650 SJ. Literally a night and day difference, and if you upgrade to a 701, is still a great prop. I added a pipe afterwards and it was a noticeable improvement, but not on the same level as swapping out the stock prop. The stock...

Compression was 140/140. I will check the Reeds.

No, I checked the timing when I swapped those coils. The flywheel key was good too.

Hey guys- I've got a stock 61x that refuses to run and backfires- a lot. Mostly out the tail pipe, but some through the carb too. I've rebuilt the carb, confirmed pop-off pressure, adjusted the screws back to factory settings, replaced ignition and pulse coils with new ones, and replaced the CDI...

I could watch almost 4/5 mins, but no more. Dear Blippy, I know your on the X, and I know you're reading this. You're a weird mofo, but at least you can ride, so that's chill. You remind me of those guys who show up on Tuesday nights at family restaurants to make balloon animals for the...

In your videos, it's pretty clear that you've got a solid fitness routine- you look like a strong person. A pro racer I know, as part of his routine, does an insane amount of lunges and planks. I can't remember, but I think he might do 400 lunges per day- the dude makes cutting buoys look...

Turn signal indicators?

What is on the handlepole? Gauges? Cameras?

That's a model of a Coffman pipe, but the water routing should essentially the same. Yes, both pissers off the head; one off the T in the line to the stinger.

I've also seen people make the mistake of cutting holes in the gasket between the manifold and the head pipe. This gasket should be sealed, otherwise you could be preventing the flow of water and overheating your ski.

That's good advice. Your budget it pretty low, but your market might have a 650 SN for sale in your price range. In my market, you'd need another $5-$800 to get one. A 550 is a fun starter ski, but not really in the same league as a SJ. The hull is much smaller and more playful, but the motor is...

I had a ski that did that- turned out it was a loose electrical connection.

The Coffman pipe that I'm running doesn't have tuning screws like a B pipe does, but I'm still willing to try reversing the flow of the water through the head pipe to see if it makes any difference.

My understanding is that Comp Vests are designed for wake boarding competitions where the emergency support staff is ready on-hand. They offer the athletes more flexibility so that they can pull off complicated tricks. However, much like a SJ is designed for "closed course racing," people tend...
