    2012 Last year for the stand up jet skis?

    2 stroke ban You will be able to operate your 2 stroke equipment regardless of the type or application, until it won't run any more. The EPA can't outlaw old two stroke pwc's anymore than they can ban your 66 Mustang that don't have modern pollution equipment on it. My grandchildren will ride...

    New Hand primer??

    I have had to replace the bulb type once a season... going back to plunger. They seem to last 2-3 years before they fail. Nothing like gas in the eye from a busted bulb :ouch:

    Time to reinforce...

    See thru hull Once the purple wore through on mine, you could make out shadows when light shines down from the top. These hulls are very tough! I like the glass bottom effect. I plan on running mine this way, If I have trouble, the bottom is glass, & very repairable.

    Why do you need the pistons BEFORE you bore?

    Piston bores / fitment I have always had to provide the pistons prior to boring... I'm sure the OEM process uses standards that are fine for stock setups. Quality control on Yamaha & Kawasaki are minimal. Just enough to be dependable. LOL ( If all the sleeves are bored with the same tooling...

    Why jet skis kill...a good but frustrating read

    Frustrating How about a study to find the stats on how many accidents/injuries/deaths were involved with stand ups vs. couches? Then we might be getting somewhere. Although I have lost a close friend in a river accident due to reckless operation by very experienced riders. After that occurred...

    Why has the price of a used B-pipe suddenly skyrocketed?

    Parts prices Supply & demand rules this, but there is a sucker born every minute. Used parts are only worth what somebody is willing to pay. If parts are selling at elevated prices, then they must be "worth " that price. That is why I don't have a Factory pipe. (yet)

    Smc It looks like the purple bottom of an FX-1 to me.... so no, not SMC-its GLASS.

    Whats the deal?

    Sellers with out pay pal would not be able to sell, thereby reducing the total amount of parts available. It's not the price... It's the method of payment.

    Whats the deal?

    For sale fees & Subscription/requirement Although I have not subscribed, (need a non paypal option) I feel compelled to say that most likely there have been many parts bought & sold on this site to paying members and nonpaying members who were very satisfied with their transactions. If the X...

    Red turf

    I'm told it fades bad, and quick. You could probably keep it out of the sun whenever you're not riding for a longer lasting color. Otherwise it will be pink in half a season.:bad3:

    FX-1 Should I??

    Fx-1 How many more "Mint" FX-1's are out there? Can you buy a "Mint" SJ for that price? 30lbs. lighter, all fiberglass construction, very limited production, the question should be: What are you waiting for? The ski will bring $2K easy in one more month!:Banane09:
