    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    Prop is unknown pitch, but it was pushing the 650sx it was in over 50 mph... eventually I will want to prolly go down in pitch. I might have access to 4-5 different props, but I am not ready to scrape silicone yet... I need more trigger time

    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    FX-1 grate I knew someone knew where to get one. This was exactly the information I needed. I appreciate it guys. I've got about 2 hours on this ski since the pump upgrade/front sponsons/feetholds were installed and it feels like a totally different machine. I love the way it turns now, & with...

    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    FX-1 grate Understood. In my case, I did not open up the water intake ( to superjet size ) So a scoop grate/ toploader is in order. I have gained lots of mid and even topend power. I'm looking for launching power and I feel the modified stocker just won't load up this new pump the way it...

    200 lbs 65 MPH PWC!!!

    There are two paths to extreme "tricks" in standup PWC... Money & Skill. The money don't matter if you have no skills. I don't think the money matters anyway, just skill. If everybody can do it, it must not be fun.

    So what sources do you search for skis?

    By far, IMO the best way to get skis cheap is to canvass neighborhoods in lake/river communities and look for the yard ornaments. i have gotten skis for free this way (only 440's & 550's) You also find the occasional SJ but they are lots more rare.(and not free) You know the old saying about one...

    2009 torch lake freeride flyer

    TB, if this is your design for that free ride (flyers/ shirts) you're in the right business. That design is cool. The flame element really sets it off. Nice job! It looks well thought out, although I imagine you will say "Oh, it just came to me and I threw it together." Anyway very cool stuff...

    UMI handlepole spring

    I agree with Mark 44. These springs develop "memory" pretty easily. When they show signs of being "sprung" it's best just to replace them. Leaving your handle pole in the up position during down time seems to prolong spring life though...

    my uk sx 650

    650sx I'm glad to see there is still some interest in these old skis... that handle pole looks like you make them for a living! I knew a guy a few years back who's 650 sx could give any body' s sj a serious run. Dont under estimate the power of a 650 kawi!

    how do i check compression of an uninstalled motor(550)

    Maybe strap it down or something? My fear is that it will be unstable, or jump around ect. I'm going to hold open the throttle with wire, but my hands will be holding the hot cable.
