All younger guys go through hot and cold spells with their interests. Keep the ski if you can store and maintain it properly. If you dont want keep the fuel changed, battery charged, tagged, and otherwise 100% ready to ride then get rid of it. Some people are wired to maintain things and some...

You may be the only other person in the world that mounts 750 E-boxes like that in 650s. The 650 Coffmans pipe seems to work well. My full length pipe goes 50mph at 7000 rpm on a stock sxi engine with a single Keihin 42.

Is this a tuning problem or a maintenance problem?

Last year the forecast was looking a little too cold so we pulled the plug.

There was an early part number from the first year or two. Ive got one of those early round holed ones still NIB. I dont know why they changed the rods but it seems like the old ones have withstood the test of time.

It will work very well, try it and see what your peak rpm is and how long it takes to spool up and hit the pipe. I suspect it will need the trailing edge raised a little in order to get the best response and hardest acceleration. If that is important then bore the nozzle first.

Large corporations have been doing basically the same thing here except it comes as an offer thats hard to refuse. They usually want people to move in order to get the job.

What others run is VERY likely not so good.

I havnt seen the Wax exhaust, Im not sure what your concern is. Your 38s will require more of a tug on the throttle before the pipe hits. Then the acceleration will be a little less than with a pair of 44s or 46s. I like 44s but I know that no rider will settle for any less than a 46 since the...

Thats one short pole!

The ski is old, you have to overhaul the whole thing.

I dont exactly know. I did a long tern oil test with Citgo oil and it turned one side of the rods dark purple and the other side looked like new.

That chamber weighs less than the cast aluminum ones do. I would try it, like you said theres not much to lose at this point.

Its the dye in the oil.

They were for the “working man” in the 1950s. It’s very revealing to see “Union Joe” vigorously lobby Congress to quash the railroad union strike. How about dictating some CEO pay Joe!

The gimbal is the ring that is between the fixed and steering nozzle.

Kawasakis rarely cause a problem since the shaft does not rock as much as Yamahas. Replace the bearing and seals and make sure everything is greased, they usually last many years..

Be careful with this.

I don't think you will find what you need on the internet without getting some experience first. Finding someone to teach you how to tune and maintain a ski is the easiest way. I started on my own with some general aeromotive tech courses out of highschool. Then spent a couple of seasons...

I use a stock couch nozzle and gimbal.
