    Just A Little Mid March Riding In Huntsville, AL At The River

    Give me a month of riding a few times each week. I will be killing it. I was told by my girl back home that I better pull some rolls this summer. I know it won't happen with a 650 on flat water and I am unsure if I can do one with my 800 on flat water. Give me a wave and I will attempt some.

    Just A Little Mid March Riding In Huntsville, AL At The River

    You better let me get some more practice in before I go brave surf. My mind says yeah you can do it, you used to kick a$$ on an X2. Then I proceed to go out and get worked over yesterday just riding on the river. Of course a wet suit and life jacket that were too small didn't help. The life...

    Um yeah but it was a weak half ass sub. I realized how fat and out of shape I am. The White Power Ski started missing. New plugs didn't fix the problem so we both called it quits. Plus Numb Nutz forgot to put the pump nose cover on his ski yesterday... Might need to hit it with the wire...

    What was your first jetski message board online?

    Nah no where close. Now it is porting, total loss, magnum pumps, and aftermarket hulls. Too bad the WV powerball winner wasn't anyone I know.

    My X2 Build

    Looks good. Only thing I would change is the rear of where your seat would be. Why not slant it on an angle all the way to the back of the hull? Fill in the areas on both sides that are all speckled on Paint Brush. Then slant the back down. Will make getting back on easier. Also smooth...

    What was your first jetski message board online?

    I used to search all the time in my computer classes for skis. I got my first ski in the summer of 2001. I joined PWCT the next summer. I remember reading it all the time but not posting. I searched www.JetSki.com a bunch for parts back when I was a rookie and in the "I got to have everyting...

    I have been there my friend. Any ideas what caused it? I know hydro locking an engine does that in a heart beat but I have seen two or three recently that were just tired old cranks that came apart. RIP

    Just A Little Mid March Riding In Huntsville, AL At The River

    We started the day out driving all over town looking for a wet suit for Steve aka YZ250FPilot since he only has a shorty. Then a stop by the Gander Mountain store was necessary to get a pair of neoprene socks. I already got a pair of socks and a pair of gloves earlier in the week. Now you...

    virgin (thrust innovations)

    Thrust Innovations aka Virgin aka Brian A++ I have to agree. Brian has been great to work with. He sold me an SXR 800 engine and electrics that I can't complain one bit about. Just look how clean it is!!! http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/31908 I highly recommend them for any of your parts...

    yup.... it finally happened

    Yeah I am gonna get me a WR450 in another year. I just want to trail ride and cruise to work. Edwin you must have not broken anything bad yet racing MX. I never did but my best friend did his leg in. I know Bob took a lick to the ground last year. I just don't want to be 50 and in pain...

    Removing Choke Plates/Installing Primers

    So much for breaking the screws, one has too much thread sticking up and it won't let the shaft pull out of the carb. I will have to dremel anyways. Anyone ever switch out the stock throttle plates and couplers for the aftermarket style ones? What about when people bore/modd the stock...

    Ding Ding Ding! The winner. I will do a full buyer/seller negative thread once all the smoke clears. There were a few other little things that urked me about my order. Granted those are nit picky but over charging is just uncalled for. What ever happened to: "The customer is always right?"

    Understandable I agree you kept saying people would get their stuff. I know there were some peopel during the "messy break up" that didn't get their stuff. Well actually I don't know if they did or didn't. i think some got their money back. Still took time and they had to find the parts...

    Screwed up address labels? It isn't like it is his first time selling/shipping parts. I know you are his buddy an all but these guys have been waiting for far too long. i hope that engine was fogged too! I am just waiting for Butch to chime in here and give some lame excuse. You can look...

    Removing Choke Plates/Installing Primers

    Thanks motoman. That is exactly what I ma thinking of doing. I may have a bit more room since this will be on an SXR and not a Yamaha engine. My T will be brass though. I can always change it around but I like how it makes everything simple and clean. No need for an extra primer line in the...

    Removing Choke Plates/Installing Primers

    Well I pushed harder... Two screws on one plate came completely out. The other two broke off. They were starting to strip the heads out anyways on all four screws. I also bent one shaft some. But it is all out and no metal inside my new engine. :)

    Removing Choke Plates/Installing Primers

    BTW which way did you guys put in the nipples? I was thinking of putting them in so they both point in towards each other in between the carbs. That way I can put my small T in between the two. Problem is I don't know if there will be enough room between the two to do this. Not all of my...
