    Standup vs Runabaout

    The only thing better about an SJ is the 701 drivetrain. Get a stock SXR 800 and go have fun. Linear power, bullet proof hull, and you can "race" if you want to. Racing is boring btw, get into freerides. You can race your friends for free there.

    Water Routing for Colder Temperatures

    My outboard motor uses thermostat. It was fun watching it close when I hit the throttle yesterday. The water(32) had ice on the shore two mornings ago, now it's 70 out(air). I have never put anything on my SXR and have ridden all 12 months here in Wisconsin. From 34 Winter air to 102 summer...

    Lithium batteries... are they safe

    Same, been using them in RC for well over 10 years now. Like all batteries, they last if you know how to take care of them. I still use Lipos from 9 years ago in my RCs. Get over 20 minute runtime just like when they were new.

    SXR Hood Storage ? Ghetto or Whoaa ?

    The Whistle belongs attached to your life jacket, won't help ya when you're disconnected with Ski, per USCG. You plan to mix that oil by feel or look? I know you switched to injection. Sorry, but using the blow out of the SXR for that is silly. They make packs you can attach to the...

    Lithium batteries... are they safe

    I used a WPS for 5.5 seasons, no issues. Never took it out, only charged it once(winter in Wisconsin is COLD) when I left the bilge on...took 7 minutes to charge full. Got a FirePower(WPS new name?) last year. No issues. Cranks better, 12.5lbs lighter, and practically zero maintenance. SXR...

    How deep do skis sink?

    We lost an X2 at the Sortie in 2015. Lake Pepin Minnesota. It was found a few weeks later by some fishermen, got stuck in their nets. Guy never reported it lost. I can only imagine the DNR fined him big time. They found it via social media, the fishermen posted about a water scooter in his...

    I want to try racing

    Honestly racing is extremely boring. You spend all day waiting to run a two or three motos for 10 minutes each. This is why Freeride took off. Anyone can show up and ride the course or location whenever they want. Ride, talk to pros, ride, make friends, ride, and party at night. Repeat.

    Jet ski for beginners

    You need to do more research. 550s maybe old, but they are lighter than a Superjet. No one is buying Hydrospaces anymore, unless you're a collector. They stopped making the Weber engines. There are guys who can do more freestyle on a SuperJet than a Rickter. Get something reliable and learn...

    Engine Bolt, Grease or Threadlock?

    Just did this on my TS650. Headpipe bolts are not SS, so a good coating on all over is what I do.

    Super Jet What Super Jets Are Good For

    I'm not hating on the SuperJet, but I know for a fact all of my friends wrench on their SuperJets FAR more than I touch my SXR. I exceeded 1200 hours on my limited SXR setup, never had any breakdowns during that time. Ran out of gas once...left it on Reserve. Only time I ever got towed until...
