Bring the ole voltmeter with ya. Then you could at least see if it's the switch or not.

What is your break-in process going to be? Some people say one should occasionally put medium to high load on the motor without lugging or overheating to avoid cylinder glazing while breaking in. Also to avoid breaking in with synthetic oil. There are so many different info sources on this...

Why do you say that? I'm going to have to agree with Kawikazi.

WOW. :ugh:

:scratchchin: ...sounds like more power to me. :headbang: Current setup is definitely for more top end. I'll have to convert to the sxr cylinders when I feel like tearing the motor apart, as I'm more of a fan of low end bump!

Haha, I've never really been south. I was thinking of hitting up McConaughy this summer too. Heard it's a pretty good spot for camping and such.

Ski looks sweet! Footholds, and paint turned out great. Where in colorado are you? Me and a few buddies ride Boyd in Loveland all the time. Still not sold on the SJ... I've been addicted to carving on a kawasaki forever.

What is the difference in port timing? More bottom end would be preferable, if I ever had to to a re-build on this scale...

From what I'm aware, "chine" is when the ski 'walks' or wobbles, primarily at higher speeds. I think you should worry a bit more about tuning and hook-up (intake grate and prop) before you so some hull mods. That being said, let's hit Boyd Friday. High is supposed to be just around 70.

Bump! This forum is DEAD!! :splatt:

I didn't inspect as thoroughly as I should have when I threw the flywheel on there. I was more interested to see if I even had spark, and it started right up. I'll pull the cover and look around, but thanks for the info. :ugh2: Sounds good, I'll give her a shot when I'm back to where I...

I'm back at school for the week, but if I remember correctly, there were two yellows, a black with red (?) stripe, and a black. Plugged straight into the 650 e-box, which looked stock sans the Dale's Bad Attitude CDI. How would I know where stock timing is between the big pin block and 650...

Who's running this setup? I recently bought a non-runnning sxi with 6fiddy electronics and an effed flywheel from the doofus who had it before me due to a bad stator. He ended getting a new stator on there, but I just threw on a 650 flywheel that I had lying around and it started right up! So...
