    Rebuild cranks or just get new ones?

    SBT may buy them for cores. Not too sure what they pay. They always have that ad up wanting to buy cores. I emailed them once, never got back to me. I PM'd Steph and she checked into it. They didn't want any Kaw 650 or 750 cranks... great, looks liek these will go to the scrap yard...

    Would You Buy An Aftermarket X2 Hull?

    I will add a few points... - Scupper already installed - Rear exhaust already installed (through hull silencer?) - Rear of hull at a 90 degree angle instead of the sloping down (this is a pretty much given if you do the two above mods, Japanese hulls are like this) - Custom center battery...

    Would You Buy An Aftermarket X2 Hull?

    That looks like stock X2 hulls to me. My two have that little edge on them. There is no way I am doing a BR though without a lot less weight, a lot more power, or a lot bigger wave. DBR

    i never gap spark plugs

    One time when changing plugs in a non mechanic's 4 cylinder car I dropped one. Well he had bought a gapper and was set on gapping the plugs. I said it was BS and they were fine out of the box. Well the car missed like no other... I pulled the plugs again, trimmed back the wires, ect... I...

    Neat quad! Years back Lonestar was going to build custom full race quads using Rotax engines after the 250R was no longer produced. I don't think they sold too many....

    Where can i find nose locks for trailers

    I had a ski fall off my old trailer! I like this style of keeper because it prevents the ski rocking some on the bunks. I should mention though, I was making a sharp turn, driving too fast, and only had a piece of rope holding the ski on the trailer. Good thing it fell off in my yard. I...

    Broke another one.

    I have two stock plates that are cracked and I have NEVER ridden surf... I guess they are just crappy aluminum. Maybe i beached the ski onto a rock? Who knows...

    What ride plate?

    My two favorite plates are the Jet Dynamics concaved plate and the Ocean Pro finned plate. The Jet Sports is a knock off of the OP plate which will be cheaper if you can find one of them. As for intake grates, I like the Jet Dynamics rails shielding top loader (they have deep or standard...

    how to 750 pump into an x2

    I use RTV Silacone by Permatex. If you screw up and get the wrong silacone, it just peels off, the ski cavitates, and then you get to go it all over again. I know it isn't practical unless you are doing a full build up an have the motor out but I fint ie easier and not quite as messy to do...

    Any new mods to share?

    When ever I ride my X2 now with the trim in down 1 or 2 it will burry he nose. I usually ride with it in neutral or up. Someone once tried ot make a flat X2 but the pump & shoe go up into seat cavity. You can't chop out as much as you think you coul...

    are these out of my bendix?

    Darin, yes they are out of your bendix. When it twists open, there is a metal plate that you can see that is like a cover. They are behind there. There is like 4-5 total! I have rebuilt several bendixes and I must say they are one of the crazies pieces of mechaincal engineering around! Post...

    Stand up motorcycle help??

    I remember when I first got into Jet Skis... there was a pic of what you are talking about building at Havasu! Ever consider using a belt like a snowmobile? Seems like a doable project. I am sure there are pics somewhere. Have you guys ever seen the Red Bull Flu Tag advertised? I always...
