Why not state your location so we can be more helpful? I'd say in Colorado 2500-3k for the 750sxi and 6500-7k for the 13 SJ.

Reviving an old thread but this just happened to me on a flywheel bolt installed with 2 stroke oil on the threads. I also didn't lap the flywheel to the crank snout with valve grinding compound like I should have. There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over...

You could rule out/bypass the carbs by dribbling premix straight down the spark plug holes and firing it up. Any chance the main carb diaphragms are in backwards? That would be an easy mistake to make. Sounds like it could be a timing issue to me if its backfiring. You can pop the flywheel off...

Great thread man. It's a valiant effort saving these vintage 2 strokers. Nice job on the fiberglass patches - perfectly functional. Did you use Rustoleum appliance epoxy for rattle can?

So I tried everything mentioned and that paint was on there good, only thing that got a little bit off was a rough scrub pad combined with a chemical remover. Ended up doing a quick respray and a couple Marinetex patches on impact damage spots. Better than it was, and good enough for a few...

ISO a good used set of 62T cylinder and pistons for a buddy of mine. Preferably ready to run and with verified compression numbers. This is a budget setup for a Waveraider with a cracked cylinder so trying to avoid buying a cyl that needs bored but will for the right price. Only looking for...

I can only hope for future kids want to ride!! Must be getting warm in AR already.

Father in law bought a pair of Kawi 750 couches from a junkyard on the cheap. One of them has a bunch of spraypaint work on the hood, seat, and plastic grab bar. Anyone that's actually done this have a good recommendation on removing it? I can tell it's not well bonded because it's already...

What a race last night!! Cool to see Malcolm get one after so many years. Kenny hit with bad luck once again (although I think it was partially his fault). Hopefully Eli and Hunter can bounce back quickly.

Went to the Glendale race last weekend and had a blast. Holding strong in 2nd place in the group! Davies is looking great on the 250, sad to see JuJu go down those few times. Good on Eli for winning one. Hope Jett is back soon so he can continue to battle the old timers!

My picks are in! Let's go!!

Bump. Let's get this sold. $225 shipped + PP fees.

Sure do. I own one of his old SJ's actually. He has let me ride his race skis before - super nice guy!

I'm in for sure. Going to hit 3 races this year - Glendale, Arlington, and Denver. Stoked!

Wetjet sitdown pipe turned and welded to fit a Yamaha Superjet. I had this in a 1995 Squarenose but should fit Roundnose skis as well. Cheap power upgrade over the stock exhaust. Has a couple jb weld patches (never leaked that I noticed), and one of the six mounting bolt threads for the...
