    Directions: Edgewater State Park

    Is this spot good for my wife to hang out and watch? She's not riding this season and I don't think shell be too happy if I leave her alone by the a ramp someplace. We're passing on FSF this year 'cause you have to ride to the site (well she is anyway :saevilw:

    Battery Filling questions

    Loosing water is an indication you are charging too fast. When all is well you should need to add like a teaspoon in each cell once or twice a season.

    any one else have this happen to them after riding?

    Sounds like possibly an alergy reaction to me. Try some antihistamines before you go out. I've never had an issure with water, but have other allergies and I can tell you the trick is to preempt it rather than try to treat the attack afterward.

    Turfing a couch.

    The only serious injury I ever had was on a couch. Nailed a wake so hard I fractured my heel. I'd say a bit of padding would be a real good idea. The other injury to be wary of is if you get thrown to the side on some skis with deep foot wells you can break an ankle. Padding to make the well a...

    help converting a single trailer into a standup double

    I have mine just tied. I run one more line that runs from the front cross member of the trailer up to the bow eye. That gives a better angle to keep the ski from going forward shoulfd you need to get on the brakes hard. One think to watch for, the SJ may tend to shift sideways a bit. I've got a...

    NJ Residents Please Read!!

    So long as its on all boats you can't complain too much. How do they come up with numbers near 10x the minimum for car insurance though? One thing for sure, as soon as insurance is required the cost will go way up.

    Little problem with ODI Grips

    ODI's main buisiness isn't watercraft. Actually maybe the stainless screw is the difference between the PWC and ATV basic kits. Then they don't bother to seperate sets of the billet caps.

    Helmet necessary??

    I'd say no helmet while learning just because they somewhat reduce hearing and peripheral vision. You don't want to be handicapped in those areas at the same time as you are getting your balance.

    Lets talk about Foot Holds.

    One sheet will do tray and sides -- if you run the tray part cross-wise (length of dimamonds run across). I think you want to do it that way for best traction anyway. Another tip: I found some clear vinyl kitchen shelf liner stuff at wall mart that worked great for making templates. Not cheap...

    For those who wish to improve their steering...

    Thanks. I think I'm first going to just get fresh yamaha parts. Just worked out to ~$40 for both cable ends and both ball studs and new bushings for the nozzle. I'm pretty sure its the cable ends that are worn out more so than the studs by the way.

    For those who wish to improve their steering...

    Just looking into this myself, on the FX1 the ball fitting is a 6mm thread, so the the 5mm 'A' hole isn't going to work. Have I missed something? It seems I'd either have to drill out the ball end fitting or tap a new 5mm hole in the turn plate.

    130psi compression (is this bad?)

    This is exactly why you never see hard numbers for compression on two strokes, the port opening throws a wrench in the works... It wouldn't surprise me if some port jobs raise it and some lower it..

    So how low is Lanier???

    How can they blame it on a gage, as if they dont have one guy out there who knows what it ought to look like.

    smallest fire extinguisher

    The kiddie PWC model is the smallest one that is actually legal. The coast guard requirement specifies the size in addition to type. That said the smaller kitchen types will likely fool many cops or at least buy you a warning rather than a ticket though.

    130psi compression (is this bad?)

    Get a screw-in. I wasn't trying to be insulting, but you do always have to wonder about the gage and how the test was done when someone posts numbers that seem low. Two stroke especially the numbers are sensative to cranking speed, throttle open, how many revs you gave it etc.

    130psi compression (is this bad?)

    I think if you have "around" a 5 psi range you need a better gage..
