    Superjet 08/09 vs 800 sxr?

    I just bought an 01 superjet today. It's in good condition with a milled head, flame arrestors, factory b pipe (wet pipe not dry, not sure if dry would be lots better or not, do you know how much hp each gives?), wider handlebar, nicer aluminum throttle lever, top loader intake, about 3 in...

    FX-1 I just can't get in to it..!

    how do you do the leg drag turn? Can it be done in both directions? Does the same foot stay forward the whole time? The ultimate goal would be to turn like jeff jacobs. That guy is awesome!

    FX-1 I just can't get in to it..!

    After 7 times riding, it's really coming together. I carved for the first time on # 7. It was a thing of beauty. The water felt like butter. I can now ride around without falling if I want to. I've been learning the limit to how far the ski can lean. I fall over quite a bit learning that...

    Superjet 08/09 vs 800 sxr?

    How dose the 08/09 superjet compare to the sxr 800? Does the superjet turn as well now with the added sponsons and hull shape? How does the pre 08/09's compare to the 08/09 superjets or sxr? I'm thinking about buying a new ski and would love to hear what people like and dislike about these...

    price on 07 sxr

    Where can I get the sxr out the door for 5100 plus $300 shipping? If they can finance, that would be a great option.

    price on 07 sxr

    When did they start making the current sxr? What years were important changes made? How does the sxr compare to the 08/09 superjet? I've always heard that sxr's turn like no ones business, but are and feel heavier than the superjets. With the new design, I've heard that the superjets turn...

    FX-1 Cavitation!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!

    Interesting. It sounds like a lot of people who did the 144mm conversion, did not change the shoe to the 144mm size. In that case, the 140mm kawi conversion might be more effective since the kawi 140mm pump ring is installed. This is a tougher decision than I though. I guess I should do...

    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    I think you can use the toploader intake grate on the stock pump and the kawi 140mm conversion. I'm not sure about the 144mm superjet conversion.

    FX-1 Cavitation!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!

    Thanks for the great info Tom. Are you saying that if you cut some material out of the legs on the superjet 144mm pump and reweld them at the proper height for the fx1, you won't have to carve out the hull and do glass work for the pump install portion? Will the superjet holes line up with the...

    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    I'll have to try shimming the rideplate. My ski purpoises so much that I can't get to top speed unless the water is glass and I have all my weight at the very front of the tray and am putting some weight over the handlebar. Even then, I have to be ever so gentle and it will purpoise...

    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    Hey dbredleader that protec intake is the one I have on my ski now. Maybe that's why the ski jumps out of the water from a standstill? Is that scoop called a toploader? What did you use for the coupler bearing assembly at teh front of the boat on the 140mm pump conversion?

    FX-1 Who has done the pump conversion (144mm or other)?

    I wonder if the fx-1 with the superjet 144mm conversion and 144 shoe and carved out intake area to use a superjet intake would hook up the same as a superjet? Theoretically it should be the same or better since the fx-1 is lighter. Anyone who has tried both the 650 (140mm) and superjet (144mm)...

    FX-1 Cavitation!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!

    95fx1. I'm going to going riding tomorrow. I'll see if I notice if I notice the difference by sealing up the crevices in the intake grate, pump to hull junction, and ride plate. After rereading and researching more about this topic, I'm thinking I will probably have to take the pump out and...

    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    Heres my take on what needs to be done for the 650 pump conversion: It seems like you could do this mod without any glass work if you use shims at the rear instead of building it up. Is this true? Let me see if I've got this straight. 1. get a kawi 650 pump from ebay. 2. get a tilt nozzel...

    FX-1 Scoopgrate for FX-1

    I'm just trying to learn how to ride the ski for now. If the pump conversion makes the ski better in everyway I think I'll do it. I'm still not sure when the ski is supposed to be cavitating. I did hear one guy say that his fx-1 seemed to be direct drive with the throttle when he did the...

    Another dang FX1 pump thread......

    Wow. This is the most complete write up of a pump mod. After reading this, I think I might even be able to do this mod myself. It seems like you could do this mod without any glass work if you use shims at the rear instead of building it up. Is this true? Let me see if I've got this...
