    Kawi SXI Pro or Yamaha Superjet for new rider on lakes?

    I own a couple 650sx skis and they are a blast. I'm probably going to move up to a 750sxi (pro) because they are more plentiful around here and much cheaper. Eventually I'll get a superjet when I find the right one, but I'm sure a 750sxi will be a major upgrade to my 650sx skis. I can find...

    I've purchased numerous things from Mitch over the years and always been satisfied. Sorry to hear about your dealings with him. I hope this is not indicative of how things are going. Slag

    New to standups..recommendations for 1st ski

    There is nothing wrong with the 650sx series of skis. Not as fun as a superjet, thats for sure, but they are cheap and parts are plentiful. They will easily haul a 210lb person around and are great to learn on.

    new rings in a 650sx-higher octane now?

    I have a couple older 650sx jetskis that are indestructible. I've done just about everything possible to them and they just run and run and run. recently, I noticed compression wasn't where it should be on one of my 650sx's so I pulled the head and found it had standard bore wisecos. The...

    300/440/550 650 flywheel

    question about lightning the flywheel. Do you take the magnets off and then reattach them, assuming you lighten from the inside out, or how is it done? Do you just shave off the outer bit a few mils or what?

    650sx...need help please

    How? On my 650sx's, there is a 1 way check valve that will allow air into the tank, but unless its on its side for several minutes, very little water if any will get into the tank.

    where to buy a waterproof switch to wire for bilge

    call me cheap, but $24-$34.00 for a switch is just too much. I could see $8-$12.00 for a switch tops, but ouch, $24.00 is just insane. Multiply that by 2-3 standups and you can get upwards of $100.00 with shipping for just 3 switches. I see someone else has them for $20.00 shipped but thats...

    removing paint from a ski

    I've repainted an old 550 before and there was a ton of sanding involved. Can you use chemicals like Dad's paint remover or something similar to strip the paint from a hull, or does that delaminate or otherwise hurt the hull in any way? I'm looking to do this to an 88 X2 and possibly an 89...

    What motor is the best for 650 sx

    I believe the 5 means its a 15 degree pitch, but I may be wrong. I have a skat trak 55 and was told its a 15.5 degree pitch iirc.

    new rings, more power, less hookup?

    Did a light hone job on my stock bore kaw 650 cylinders last weekend and put new rings on my wiseco's. Put it all back together with new base/head gaskets and correctly torqued everything down. The engine runs great and compression is very good. I also took the pump off and rebuilt it with...

    what am i supossed to do?

    750 for a motor ready to go without a warranty is a bad deal imho. Then again, I've only purchased half a dozen or so pwc engines in my lifetime.

    Opinions on 89 650sx..

    I have an aftermarket pjs rideplate on mine with 2 skegs that really helps stop the skidding and helps with turning as compared to my other 650sx that has a flat pjs rideplate.

    Hydro-Turf on the rub rails

    Wow that looks good. Does the turf wrap all the way under the rub rail? Is it just held on by contact cement on both the rail and the turf?

    Hydro-Turf on the rub rails

    When putting hydroturf on your rub rails, do you remove the existing rub rail crap or just turf over the rub rails? I'm guessing you remove the existing ones, but wanted to ask first. Some hulls have bolts holding the top and bottom together so how do you work around that? Close up pics...
