'09, Replaced original buckle with billet alum (kawi green) but is very hard to snap down. Seems limited on any adjustments.
Weather is nice in Houston and soon to get out..
'09 - Changed the factory buckle on Hood with a machined billet alum. But is super tight now to snap shut. Any suggestions? Doesn't. Seem to have any adjustment. Tks.
A BatteryTender should be left on all the time, they cost more but are worth every penny. It floats and keeps a level where a trickle charge is constant.
BatteryTender
I use brand, BatteryTender on my batteries. You can get them in a water proof version also. Quick connect plugs work out great so when you park your trailer just plug it in and keep your batteries fresh all the time. I never let my machines without BatteryTender plugged in.
I cut my old grips off my '09 SXR and there is a small flange at the end of each handle. I bought Lizardskin grips at Sun&Ski but was not easy getting them over the flange on the end. You guys forgot to mention the flange.. In the future, should I grind off the flanges? tks.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what hour meter to get. I got an '09 and my old hour meter with tach never worked right. [Can't remember which manuf it was.] I don't need the dual hr/tach, only hour. tks.
What part of MI? I am hauling both my skis to Upper MI to my camp in Gwinn in July for two weeks. Will have my '07 800sxr and can't wait to get on the water. Lived in Ludington a little while as a kid but then moved to Negaunee. Went to school at Michigan Tech in Houghton. Now in Houston...
The folding aluminum stand looks like a good option. I ended up buying 3" PVC fittings and 10' of pipe to make one from a previous suggestion to try a beach stand. [not as handy as a folding one]
-Give me some time to see if I like the PVC.

Does anyone have an idea or photo of what you use when putting fuel in your machine without putting it back on the trailer. One area where I launch in Canyon Lake [TX] shore is rocky and I don't want to put fuel in while bobbing in the water. I was thinking of a 2x4 padded rail support of some...
install a Battery Tender
Buy a battery charger from, Battery Tender. Look it up on the internet and don't convince yourself to buy a cheapy..
Hook up the jumper pigtail direct to your batter terminal and just plug it in when you park the machine. Battery Tender will float the battery properly...
Where's the best place to get a Kawasaki service manual for an '07 - 800SXR?
On the internet I only saw models up to 2005 [I assume it could be the same?].
I have a gauge and will check the compression. Waranty will be out this August. It got wrecked and flooded last October and only recently got it out of the shop. This hard to start has been like this since brand new last Aug. thks.
'07 800SXR, hard to start after it has been in use for some time. Need to hold the start button in and give gas to make it start. It would never start if you didn't give it throttle at the same time.
When it is cold with the choke on, I also need to give it gas to make it start.
