    helicoils and timeserts?

    I have seen helicoils come out. They suck compared to timeserts. A friend bought a remanufactured engine from PMC once and it had some of the holes done with them. Apparently they mahined the cylinder after installing them leaving a nice flat surface. He ended up stripping out a bunch of...

    How did you aquire your X2?

    Back in the summer of 2001 my best friend and dirt bike/ATV riding buddy bought a 650 SX. Of course I "had" to get one too. So this guy I worked with at the time kept talking how he had a ski for sale. He would always say the handle bars can be adjusted up or down but it didn't have a hand...

    TS Style Start/Stop Switch Cover on eBay

    Yeah I have had my skis over the years to "run away" before too. On an X2 if it gets water in it and leans over to one side like they do, sometimes they don't want to circle propperly. I remember a world finals? or just another freestyle event where Malone or Lenzi, I can't remember had...

    lanyard questions on x2

    The 650 SX and 650 X2 never ever came with a lanyard. On certain years there is an option on the parts diagram but they will try to sell you the whole switch which costs around 275 bucks! W-Nut posted the right part number for a 750 SS or 650 TS style face plate. This is the same face plate...

    Career

    Mark, Do you get free beer or a discount on beer? There was an engineer at my old plant who left for a job with Miller Brewing and he was allowed a free case of beer a week! Now I like my beer but I am a binge drinker... A case of beer a week would be a sweet fringe benefit!

    Why is the x2 forum lagging here?

    Hey my X2 only has a 650! :( I know it is a said situation. I got sniped last night on a 750 SXi engine and I sniped the auction to begin with with an auction sniper... To a zero feedback bidder too!

    Thread chaser vs Bottoming Tap

    If you are chasing already tapped holes, any old tap will do. I have an american and a metric Craftsman set and they both have worked great over the years. Iwill say get a nice set and not a cheapo Harbor Freight one. You will snap off a tap and they are a pain to get out! I am going to buy...
