So I've been debating this after every ride when I come home with chaffed and bruised ankles. Do you guys think I would lose a lot of grip if I chopped the back end of the tray side rails off? Since I have the REV footholds with enclosures, this would basically make it act like an oversized foot...

I managed to lose 2 screws on my ride plate and then sunk the ski while rearranging them to get back to the ramp... Long story short, those two screws came out and now I have 3 inserts missing that have been ripped out of the ski. How do you repair this kind of thing? Here is a picture of...

Is cutting the prop back 3mm something that would give noticeable results or is it one of those things that if you do enough of them at once, you'll notice a difference? I understand that cutting it back helps reduce cavitation so does this means that you can lower the prop pitch 1-2° and...

Anyone got any good tips for moving footholds? Is there such a thing as a good way to do it? Mine are too far back... I'd like to move them forward maybe 1-2" but I've got a nasty feeling that the entire ski will have to be returfed...:buttkick::damnit:

I've been debating the whole Race Logic cylinder porting templates. However, the port templates were made for a stock cylinder. If I'm running +1mm on the cylinder bore or decide to increase to +2mm, what effect does that have in terms of porting?

Basically I can't keep the 3 bolts attaching the head pipe to the exhaust manifold. The manual calls out for the bolts to be torques to 14.5 ft-lbs with loctite. That lasts about 10 minutes. So I originally torqued them more and that lasted a bit longer but no good. I ended up stripping the...

I just replaced the coil for my single channel total loss setup with one from another system and it would fly around like it was on fire....for about 5-10 minutes. Then once the engine got warm (not hot) the ski started running like complete crap and would barely plane off. I let it sit for...

I assume this is supposed to have some kind of stud but where do I get them? It's an MSD motorcycle coil P/N 8204.

So I wired up a different total loss brain today because I wasn't getting a spark from the old one. I'm beginning to think it's related to the stop switch. The ski will run fine with the stop switch wires disconnected from everything but I have to kill power to the brain in order to shut off the...

Before I installed my single channel total loss setup the ski was running great. Had issues with head pipe bolts but that's another story. Once I put the total loss on, it ran great for about an hour and started backfiring and all sorts of other stuff it shouldn't be doing. Found out that...

I've got a PJS manifold (I think) and it's got 3 water cooling inlets. 2 on the sides for dual cooling and 1 in the middle. After looking at the Factory Pipe manifolds, I noticed that they only have 1 inlet and it's on the rear cylinder. My question is...should I run my single cooling to the...

Well I went ahead and started to replace my crank seals tonight. I must say it was a lot easier than I really expected and my trailer doubles nicely as a bench for the engine. The whole crank looks really clean but the bearings have almost no grease in them anymore. Here's what I found... The...

This ski is the biggest POS I've ever had. I've been riding since mid march and the longest period I've gone without having to pull the engine has been two days of riding and the second usually gets cut short. It's mostly been the exhaust pipe bolts rattling out now matter what I do. This...

I've been having problems with keeping bolts in place fastening my pipe to the manifold. I think the Loc-tite is just getting melted and they back out quickly. I've since had to drill and tap for larger bolts because the original holes in the manifold have stripped. I have 7/16" bolts in there...

Ok so my spark plugs always read a little different from each other in the past and I contributed it to bad spark plug wires. Now I have a total loss system and the spark plug differences are actually more dramatic. The front cylinder looks almost too rich and the back cylinder looks almost too...

I've got a fairly interesting situation here with my total loss setup. I had to drill and tap the mounting holes for the trigger plate and they can only go in two spots so that's a no brainer. The problem is I can only set the static timing to a max of 15° which means my max static timing...

I'm trying to find some gasket sheets because factory pipe gaskets aren't cheap and have to be ordered. I've bought and ruined 3 gaskets already this year because the pipe bolts keep rattleing out. I believe my lean condition had a hand in that too...working on it now. Anyway, I know water...

Who else here bashes the crap out of their shins during a ride? I always get going and put a knee in the tray. However, something always seems to happen at that time and my shin slammed into the back corner of the tray. I've got the turf and two layers of that yoga mat but I always come home...

These are NGK BR8ES's on my 750sx. I've run these about 2-3 hours total on two different days. I rode as normal with no one throttle position for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. The plug on the right (pre-cutting) was wiped down and the one of the left was pulled directly from the engine and...

After reading all the posts about the cheap 4lb. walmart battery that Yamaslut started, I thought I would give it a shot. Well that was money well wasted. I've charged it 2 times on a 1.5amp auto charger and when that failed to work, 2 more times on an advanced peak charger. It still won't...
