I know that stainless steel bolts are used exclusively in Yamaha motors and bolt directly into aluminum castings such as cylinders, cases, etc... and apparently there is no concern about galvanic corrosion. So when it comes to the pump section (I'm working with a 155 at the moment), why are the...

Have a brand new pair of 46mm SBNs that I'll be using on a build and would like to know (prior to breaking anything) how to modify the direction of the intake and return fittings. This is how they are oriented when you buy them. Couldn't find a pic that represented the way I want them...

I picked up a 98 XL1200 as a donor for a Blaster 1200 project and ran into something I haven't seen before while tearing down the pump. Between the two driveshaft bearings is this funny sleeve like thing that appears to hold grease between the bearings. Problem is, cause of this sleeve, I have...

$1,500 deposit was made October of 2013 and stuff happened. I figured that money was long gone (and it sorta is), but I got a PM about 3 or 4 months ago from some guy I didn't know. @sinisterjosh has really come through for me and what I understand, a couple others in the same situation. I can...

Posting this at 1:00pm EST 09.12.14. I'm gonna wait until at least 6:00pm before the next pic hint. Alright... I couldn't wait until 6:00, so decided to quickly PhotoScape remove the main item from the crate and allow you to see two of the accompanying items that I ordered as well (and no...

While I'm waiting for my PHP PowerMouse to show up, I figured I'd try to be constructive with my time this evening. Took my fresh outta the box Factory B-pipe exhaust manifold and decided to open it up to 50mm. In preparation, I sourced a 50mm gasket from @JetManiac and a 1 1/2" sanding drum...

It's Friday before the long holiday weekend. Figured I'd just stir the pot a little. Enjoy... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a dual set of 44mm SBN mikuni carbs that I was testing pop-off values on last night. Problem was the values that the Mikuni chart says I should expect to see were WAY off. I've been running these on my JetManiac 781 big bore for like 2 years now with pretty good results. I've had the...

OK, so it's been sitting in the workshop for over a week while I continue to order and WAIT on build parts to show up at my doorstep. So I'm gonna start with questions that I I hope people who own or have built a FootRocket will weigh in on. First... did anyone else's bed plates come...

Something new showed up today :)

Just thought I'd share a site I just found that seems to have decent prices. Http://www.marineparthub.com Solas 144 Mag pump with cone for $344.64 and $24.48 for the spacer ring. Not bad at under $370 for all ya need for a pump upgrade. Oh... and free shipping on all orders over $75. I...

Riding yesterday and all a sudden down to one cylinder. Popped the hood and the clear plastic tornado insert thingy in my PROK filter got sucked right down onto my carb adapter. This ever happen to anyone else and do ya think there is any warranty for manufacturers defects they would honor...

Winter builds are in full swing and I'm sure everyone is looking to save a buck or two. So... where are the crazy Black Friday sales from the vendors?

Looked online at one of the many OEM parts finder pages and see the part numbers for the oil seals on the midshaft differ from those on the pump. Does anyone know if they are actually different or are they interchangeable?

Bought a ski that had a set of "silver" colored Mikuni SBN carbs. Looked at the SBN manual and it appears that both the 44mm and 46mm versions came in silver (see attached image). I don't see any discernible model or part numbers on them. Has anyone ever taken a set of calipers and measured...

So... I have a 16 year old daughter (120 lbs) and 12 year old son (115 lbs) that love to ride my Superjets, but hate the vests I have available for them to use. All my vests are Jet Pilot nylon side entries and the smallest that Jet Pilot makes is a SMALL/MEDIUM. This is how a SMALL/MEDIUM...

Picked up a 98 XL1200 with a suspected blown cylinder for $800. Thought I could just tear down the top end and send the cylinders out for a fresh bore and honing and put in a new set of Pro X pistions and be set for the rest of the conversion. Well I'll just let ya see what I saw when I...

Been to Daytona half a dozen times, but this will be my first trip to \m/, WaveDaze ,\m/. Question is about spending the day on the beach. At Daytona ya drive your vehicle and ski right onto the beach and setup up camp for the day (eat, change, rest, etc..). I suspect that you can't drive...

First, yes I've searched all through here and using Google to see how to evaluate the condition of a crank with no success. I'm looking to pick up a 65u non power valve 1200 motor for a Blaster conversion project and attempting to save a few bucks by picking up a motor that needs minor repairs...
