    300/440/550 x2 trim on sx

    Most people use a BMX brake lever. I recommend a Dia Tech Tech 99 As for the cable... I would suggest a BMX brake cable. But you may want something with a bigger cable diameter. I would also epoxy into your hull a through hull tube like SE puts into their drop nozzle kitys for the cable to...

    300/440/550 212 HP 650cc X2

    Saki, is that a radial engine Chopper? That thing is sweet! I have heard of Inconel... it is the next common super tough metal after stainless steel. See a year and a half ago I took a course in college called Intermediate Mechanics of Materials. There are all kinds of one off...

    I saw this on Horsepower TV car show a few months back. It was in a Fiero. Anyways he is right. The fuel was passed through a set of compressors under high pressure and heated to better atomize the fuel particles. Then sent into the engine. They said it made big HP numbers but never run...

    I have seen adapter plates where you can bolt a Kehin to a Mikuni manifold. But I have seen them from Kehin to Mikuni. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KAWASAKI-650-X2-44MM-INTAKE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ56422QQitemZ260095060253QQrdZ1 Here is one on ebay now. I think there si...

    FX-1000cc-66e

    I see you have the exhaust valves epoxied. Are you guys not going to run them then? I always wanted a PV 800 in a SJ or WB1. But still, this is a kick a$$ ski! DAVE

    Well if anyone has links to pics of the Waterdawg engine, send them my way. I love CNC'd stuff! I have seen the blue ski thread from Havasu and his web site. But I always just saw a top end on stock black painted cases. Back to the subject.... You really need to throw up a couple of...

    As beautiful as the Waterdawg top end is... it still uses a stock cast bottom end. Don't get me wrong, I think it kicks a$$! But I want a full billet engine! BTW those ADA cylinders are sweet too! DAVE

    300/440/550 212 HP 650cc X2

    If I had the machinery and finaces, I would make a 1200 cc pure billet engine for my X2. So instead, I will rape and engine from an 800 SXR or 1100 tripple one day.... Not to bash you but without some proof, I must say this X2 seems like a fairy tale or myth. The cost of...

    300/440/550 Yet Another X2 project!!

    I told you so!!! lol Ditch the crankcase drain/plunger. You don't want your engine to lean out. I always just pull a plug and crank it if I swamp my engine that bad. Crab, you ski is looking great!

    300/440/550 Yet Another X2 project!!

    Lets talk about Keihin carbs

    I have a read a lot of Harry's articles. I used to be 100% all for Group K. I had them do some engine work for me once... after I seized up using too small jets in a SBN 44 on a Kawie 750, they were little help in finding the propper sizes or even a ball park. He wanted to sell me a Keihin...

    That is painted. The 94 and 95's were a terrible purple color. You should do like Brent did... Put your 800 in your X2. Then sell of the rest of your 800 stuff that you don't need and buy a used RN with that cash!!! DBR

    Lets talk about Keihin carbs

    I think Harry was just selling the machine shop work to make the 42's work on the Kawasakis. If he was to sell a Kawie guy a Mikuni... then they would need a carb, intake, F/A... If he sells you a Keihin, he sells you dremel work on your stock manifold and F/A.... For a long time he...
