Rode yesterday with Josh, had nice, clean surf! I got one good flip, one mediocre, and one landed on top of me... Josh then got pummeled and we both got stuck on the beach till after dark when I finally towed him in... Enjoy... http://vimeo.com/31967130

Well everyone else is posting their first flip videos, so here's mine from last Sunday... http://vimeo.com/31821629

Finally found some carbs I think I can use on my Octane! First generation 46mm Novis! Anyone have experience with them and a guess as to where I should start for jets? Right now, only things not stock are V-Force II reeds, Watcon timing curve, and I started boring the manifold/head pipe out...

So I was riding today and after turning my 2002 Octane off, I had no spark trying to start it back up. Long story short, I thought I might have wired the electrical box wrong so that the CDI had constant 12v instead of only when the engine was running. So I disconnected the positive cable...

What are the piston options for Octanes? Pro-X make any? What's preferred...?

So when I replaced the stator in my 02 it seemed just a little slower... I also noticed the trigger magnets are movable on the flywheel... The manual says to adjust timing with the CDI. Can I advance the cup on the flywheel to get a couple extra degrees? Thanks, Alex

So my 02 isn't running right. It did this thing in the surf, where if I leaned it to the right, it would bog. I thought it was the carbs sucking up the sloshing water. All I had to do was let the throttle go to idle for a second, and it would clear out. Now it's running like that almost all...

So I bought a set of 48mm Blackjacks... Does anyone have a starting point for jets for my Octane? It's stock except for V-Force II reeds. And what is the third jet for? Will I just be wasting my time with these? Should I fix them up and sell instead...? I ride mostly surf, but it would be...

So I need to reenforce my Octane, both the bottom and sides. Figured I'll glass the motor mount plates as well. What is the best practice for that? Do I take all the green stuff off, or leave it and just glass over everything? Thanks, Alex

I'm pretty sure I'd buy a real boat for that money... http://norfolk.craigslist.org/boa/2459450269.html

2002 Octane, was riding this morning, no problem. Turned it off at the ramp, put it on the trailer, tried to start and no spark. I've changed plugs, battery is good. Resistances seem high on the coil per the service manual, but I don't think that's it. Testing some of the stator wires from...

Couple questions about my 2002. First, I have the composite ride plate. It's been suggested I D-cut it. How deep should I cut? The plate extends about 2 inches past the transom. Should I start the cut from there, or cut it flush with the transom then cut the D? Second, I've heard about...

I installed the X-Metal trim, and the nozzle doesn't trim up very far before it hits the lip on the rear of the hull. Just want to hear from someone who's done it before that I need to grind some relief out of that lip... Also, seems the steering cable doesn't have enough throw for the raider...

I have the composite plate on my 2002 Octane that has been cut back about even with the transom. I've heard this is a terrible plate so I'm looking at a new one. What is the difference between the Jet Dynamics one and the Worx? Is there any other good option? As a side note, I may still need...

So I finally got a look at the 2002 I bought. The bearings in the pump had disintegrated. When I pulled the driveshaft, the impeller came out the front of the pump, with the pump shaft and inner races... I can't get the pump off though. Looks like someone used nickel plated steel bolts and...

Hello, New to the site, just bought my first Octane yesterday. It's a 2002, still at the dealership. He says the drive shaft is loose, and thinks it's the pump bearings. Sounds more like the driveline bearing to me. Anyone have any ideas based on what he told me? If it is the driveline...
