    Apple AirTag for ski tracking

    I used a Tag pet tracker for my dog for a while. It is a subscription service. Could work for a ski.

    Going fast body pos

    You can try rear sponsons as well. Ride plates help with pitch. Front Sponsons help with roll and rear sponsons help with Yaw, if that makes sense. Rear sponsons are easy to make. You can use cutting board material, lexan, star board, layup some fiberglass on something flat, etc. I made mine by...

    Going fast body pos

    I usually ride Lake Seminole in Pinellas county. I haven't been riding much but I hope to get some more time on the water or dirt once I finish restoring my toy hauler. Hopefully once I get that fixed up I can make my way up to Ocala. But don't let my post think you can learn anything from me...

    Going fast body pos

    Full disclaimer, I suck and am a terrible source of advice. With that said, they are both right. Staying up keeps you more relaxed and reduces fatigue and takes stress off your back. Staying in an aggressive position when you do not need to be increases fatigue and increases the chance of a...

    First post, looking to have flywheel lightened by #zero

    He was local to me but his number was no longer in service a bit back when I tried to reach out to him after people were saying they hadn't heard from him.

    Project_ Freedom_X2

    Nice work. I have watched every X2 thread for probably over a decade and that is the first stock 700 exhaust I have seen in a X2.

    Super Jet Gas fumes

    Edit: short version, what BK said. Longer explanation below if you’re interested. Yes. the volume of fuel decreases as your motor runs. This would create a vacuum in your tank if air were not allowed in. The negative pressure would starve your motor of fuel. The one way is suppose to let air...

    Yamaha superjet solenoid clicking

    I know it's common to ground the starter at the starter mounting bolt, but I ground mine to a bolt on the flywheel cover. Cable is less than a foot and easy to replace.

    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    Milk jugs are for torque. Mountain dew bottles give the ponies. Not as much as a ProTec sticker does though. The science checks out.

    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    I don't have a picture, but the first year I went to daytona with my X2, I kept having water ingestion. I had a K&N style arrestor that came on my X2. @tom21 helped me cut up a 2L mountain dew bottle and with a propane torch, he heat shrunk it around to cover 3 sides leaving only the motor side...

    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    On the topic of shop stands, I thought using one of these adjustable work benches from home depot. Only issue is the base height is a bit too high. I don't know if it can be lowered in anyway but it could be a great base for a stand...

    Dual carb vs single

    Single carbs don't have the problem because the ski either runs or it doesn't. You tune the single carb to the cylinder that needs the most fuel and leave the other cylinder a bit rich. The problem with the twin carbs is that one cylinder can drag the other and destroy it. Don't leave one carb...

    Dual carb vs single

    I am no motor expert, but none of the high end motors experts run single carbs. There is clearly a reason for that. There are always slight variations in cylinders, porting, engine temps, etc. With dual carbs, you can make sure each cylinder gets exactly what it needs. With a single carb, you...

    Securing ski

    I can't count the number of houses I've made entry with my $1 knife from WalMart. I recently got past a commercial door lock with tamper plate with only a piece of etco2 tubing to access the fire alarm control panel. I did it in under a minute with no damage and locked up when we were done. I...

    Securing ski

    I use masterlock pythons to lock my superjet. They work like zip ties so they fit through the bow eye. They also fit through the pin holes in my bigfoot beach cart. You can also connect 2 of them together to make one big loop and they fit very nice in my camel bak for mountain biking. There are...

    Power valve options

    The stock cylinders have a very nice smooth powerband but lack a lot of the power that ported motors do, but ported motors lose the linear band and sacrifice something somewhere. Are there any options for powervalve top end kits that are a direct replacement for the OEM cylinders? Something that...
