    would like to put footholds in my ski (91 SN) for this coming season. Whats out there that is going to fit the best ? ease of install ? price ? What you like ? etc. Also, tempted to put a one way drain in there while I am at it, sounds like this is going to require a de-foam job...? Worth...

    bendix not functioning. cleaning & lubing ???

    The bendix on my sj likes to not engage sometimes. At the recommendations of others I took it off last season and let it soak in some motor oil, that didn't work.

    650 to 701 stock exhuast....

    my 6m6 blew up and I can't justify the cost of rebuilding that plus a new crank versus just finding a running 701 and throwing that in my ski. So that is what I did, I found a complete 61x shortblock, I just need to know if the 6m6 stock exhaust setup will run on that 61x w/o problems... I am...

    650 exhaust question

    i currently have a 6m6 650 engine all stock, I want to put a different exhaust setup on it, but don't want to shell out the kinda money I have been seeing used/new pipes for quite yet. I have heard of putting a kawasaki 650sx pipe on a 650 sj engine, and my buddy has one he will give to me...

    Need some quick help with my 650 sj. It wasn't running right, originally I thought it was spark issue with the crappy spark plug wires, then thought maybe carb, so I took that all apart and cleaned it up, then finally I got to looking at the reed valves, and that was the answer... One of them...

    help me make my sj stop going to the bottom

    My SJ seems to enjoy taking on water when it goes under... I was messing around on the hood trying to make a fountain, and tried only a couple submarines and it filled itself up really fast, took water in the carb and did a good job of sinking near the beach. I have added a Rule 500gph bilge...

    throttle cable adapter?

    I just bought an aluminum finger throttle off of ebay for my js550, but the throttle cable has a different size thread then the throttle. I think I have heard of an adapter that will go from the smaller thread size to the larger one. Can someone shed some light on this topic?

    kawai 650 starter issues
