That's surprising. I'm curious if you are using OEM head bolts, or just plain stainless. Most Ace/HD grade stainless is not designed for torquing too much. The nickel plated OEM bolts will have no problem handling this torque. My builder recommends 20 on the head bolts and 36 on the girdle...

I have rear exhaust and got a nice carbon plate from Paul (Jr./FU/etc.). It is similar to Freestyleriverrat's, but also has a 90 degree bend to allow mounting via rivets/bolts under the hood gasket, right over the battery. It sticks out far enough to still allow the exhaust hose under it...

For my FX-1 I have a Kawi manual trim (when I bought the ski the guy told me it was from a 650, so it may be an X2?). It appears to be a close fit. I haven't tried it on my FX-1 yet though. Start looking at that as an option.

Just call him. He likes to talk, and now that my motor is done, I don't care if you distract him. His phone message box was full earlier this week. If you can't get through to him, call Pat at XMetal. They work quite closely. Team Scream (727) 442-7700 XMetal (727) 449-9353

I don't even consider SBT's role. I consider both sites as being made of the people on it, not the people who run it.

To be honest, you may think it sounds cool to be banned, but consider that you don't have access to the good deals that pop up on PWCToday in the classified section. Recall savagethunder's huge lot of parts including the $500.00 PV Lamey a couple weeks ago. We're a growing group and I am...

You might give Pat at XMetal a call. He helped me create a big throw hybrid Pro-Tec/Raider trim system. Now that we got mine working he can easily replicate what he did for others.

To get maximum throw, on the collar, move (cut and weld) the pull point from the top to the side, as close to the pivot point as possible. Then, machine away metal on the nozzle accordingly, to allow the full travel (you'll have to fab a new cable mount tab on the reduction nozzle also (I think...

I haved both FX-1's and SJs. My SJ's have a lot more power than my FX-1's and I haven't ridden my FX-1s much either (yet). As far as handling goes, it's a shorter boat than the SJ, so for speed and stability at speed, go for an extended rideplate. You can find some good stuff for the FX-1...

Pump/grate/intake are all different. Not sure why you are asking though, unless you have access to a donor FX-1. Since there are a lot more Superjets around, parts are more available and likely cheaper too. Did you perhaps mean "buddy has a '95 FX-1?"

I was just down there in FL two weeks ago riding on Lake Tarpon and was sweating even when in the water. With the higher FL water temperatures, I would suggest dual cooling with a couple restrictors, or better yet, a Jetworks flow control valve. I think in the summer, in FL, you will see a...

Team Scream does that mod also. More air in equals the need to get more air out. Although it is pressurized, consider that you often have dual 48mm carbs on the inlet side of the motor (pump) so it only seems reasonable to have at least the same diameter on the outlet side (alternating exhaust...

Butti, are the two o-rings the same size? The one on the left looks thinner (but maybe it's just the lighting).

Back to your original question, they used to have part numbers starting with YA2xxx and currently they use YA7xxx series. Perhaps there are differences n the O-rings.

It might just be an optical illusion, but it appears that the groove is wider on the left dome. ADA marks the underside of their domes with the part number. Take a look to see if these are a matched pair.

Here is a segment of the Yamaha 701 instructions copy and pasted from the .pdf instructions. It does not explicitely mention a wire that is red with black tracer and regarding the connect each matching color to the existing OEM colors, I do not know of an OEM red with black wire in there, so...

I don't have an Advent in front of me now, but I don't recall red wires with black tracers on it. Are you the original owner of this from when it was new? If not, does it look like someone modified it?

Or you convince Pat at XMetal to start producing them as a regular XMetal item, like this.

I also hate the UMI setup although I have two of them for my XMetal systems. I keep begging Pat to fab something but the guy has so little time. Hopefully soon. Someone else (or a lot of people) should start bugging him. I did hear that TBM has a less expensive bearing assembly that may...

Agreed. If you're primarily riding surf, I wouldn't compromise the battery either. With the ski that I have that lightweight battery in, I ride it on flat water most of the time and usually within swimming distance of my house:biggrin:
