Yep, another riding shoes thread :biggrin: While riding 2 Sundays ago at the site of this weekends Grayland Open, my ankle popped in the first 10 min of riding. Very painful. Out of work 3 days. X-rays showed nothing broken. Doc says no riding for 6 weeks. Sucks, cause we only have like 12...

When you start a new thread, the similar thread search results that pop up under the title field show up as alternating black and white. The text is white(ish) and I can't read it. I've played around with most of the color settings in my profile, I can't seem to change the color of the block...

What, if anything, needs to be done to stock carbs mounted up to a filled intake previously ran on my same setup, just stock intake? I just mounted up some SXR Blackjacks and in case I don't like them, or can't get them tuned, I'd like to try out the stock carbs on this filled manifold...

So I picked up an 05 SXR on Sunday that was built by Blowsion for a freerider named Kyle Moore. The ski has a boat load of parts (quite literally) and performs well. When getting the ski, I knew there were going to be some 'stress cracks'. I was a bit surprised about how many cracks there...

Can anyone tell me if the forum shows up for them on a bb? Usually I just get a blank screen, sometimes the topic and author is overlapping. Mobile setting gives a blank screen as well. Any tips? I am dreading giving up this droid, but I will save me some coin and not have to carry both the...

Need a new MTN bike. Looking less than $800 (the wife says way less, but I'm working on that). I mentioned a Giant in the 29er thread and I've since threw that out. I see much better components for less money at bikesdirect. So I still need people to convince me that a 29er is worth it...

Just wondering. I see the point if you don't have a filled intake, you'd need the shim to seal the reed caged, but if your intake is filled, you have a flat area for the reeds and gasket to seat too. Do I put it back in just because? Or does anyone have any other reasons to use or not to use...

Ya, I know, pretty vain of me to think anyone cares....but in the name of public disclosure, I thought I'd let everyone know. That is all...

*Edited for updates* My new ski is currently in Yuma, but the owner might be willing to get the ski from Yuma to San Diego. T Curtis may be able to take the ski from Morro Bay to Surf Slam. Anyone able to get a ski from SD to Morro Bay? No crisis here, shipping is always a backup. Just...

After seeing crashnburn's Superfreak carbon top deck conversion, I really want to do something with this square hull sitting here. It's already partially cut up, some glass work done, then I realized I hate glass work, so now it sits. I know the top 2 companies are still making them; WCF...

So I pulled up to a local lake to drop in my ski to test it out after swapping some electronics and I see a sign that says "No PWCs Allowed". I've never ridden that lake and later found out this ban happened 6 or 7 years ago. You can water ski, 4 stroke, 2 stroke, sail, tiny fishing...

So did an engine swap on this ski from a 650 to a 750. I used the same carb exhaust and such from the 750 but the 650 electronics. The ski would not rev with any load on it and seemed like it was rich, but maybe it was just not getting enough to do anything but idle. Decided to screw it and put...

So, this place has been a little slow lately. Here is something that has crossed my mind recently. First, some facts: Propane has an octane rating of 100-110 Gasoline contains about 125000 BTU of energy per gallon Propane contains only about 90000 per liquid gallon So, only about 72% of the...

Can any one comment on the difference in power the different chambers make? Obviously there is a difference in performance for each given design. For instance, the TNT chamber is supposed to have a decent increase in power from the SJ chambers, but what about comparing it to a Kawi 750 or...

Sorry, not going to Yamaha power it....:doh: Looking a 2 candidates tomorrow for an engine swap. 1) 92 750SX recently rebuilt (stock bore) and ported (he doesn't know to what extent but thinks it might be more "race"), SXi head, advance plate, stock single carb 2) 98 750SXi Pro. Fresh...

So, got this 95 X2 from CL for $400, not bad, but has some issues. Most of which, this thing, because of the foot wells being broken, really sits low, and mostly to the right. If it's in the water, it will lean so bad, the hood seal is under water and it takes on even more. So, how does one...

New to larger Kawis and I'm not sure what parts interchange. Yamis are easy, everything interchanges (sorta, but it's easy). So what fits what? Can you swap cylinders onto cases? Cranks? Intake? Exhaust? Give me the low down... Steve

So I was talking to a guy who's been a PWC mechanic/tuner for 28ish years. He said one trick on the 650/750 engines is to remove the base basket and run a thin bead of 1211 instead. This does a couple things. 1: Moves the ports down to help with the high ports Kawis have to increase bottom...

Can someone give me the lowdown on how to deep water side start? I tried and failed miserably, so up over the back I go. What works for you? Lean it to ___L/R?___ side. Crank the steering ___L/R?___. Put ___L/R?___ foot in ____front/back___of ____L/R?___ foot tray. Let other foot...

*EDIT* Seller called it a Type 9. I don't know.... Says it has been professionally modded for freestyle/low end and Eric Malone ran it on his ski for a while. It comes with water injection. Does it need it to work properly? Worth getting if price is right and comparing it to my B pipe...
