    New X-2 goodies from Japan

    Yeah mine was a royal B!tch. Right were the two halfs are coupled together, the metal bands rubbed the hull but nothing too serious. I had to use a crow bar yo pry the hull out away long enough for my friend to slip the pipe inside the coupler and tighten it down. This si why I was goign to...

    New X-2 goodies from Japan

    I wish FPP would let me come to their shop and just "experiment" with all of the different pipe options..... As for gas tanks, I will do what Pete did and just have one made to fit any pipe I choose. The hull and positioning is the key factor. You can always have aluminum tubes bent up and...

    New X-2 goodies from Japan

    Yeah I am ticked that you cannot just buy an engine from Kawasaki! Well I figured I would use all aftermarket everything else for the powerplant (Reeds, Couplers, Manifolds, Exhaust, Carbs, Head, Electrics ie Total Loss... ect) I am too broke now for an engine purchase. But If I find a good...

    New X-2 goodies from Japan

    Were you meamimg that you were going to use 750 rods on a 650 crank? I am not sure but I think the rod lengths are the same just the distance from the center of the crank is different. I am not sure. I know Kaw and a few other manufactures used the same rods on a couple of skis. Anyone...

    300/440/550 x2 sucked water

    I had a bilge pump hose rub against an exhaust pipe once. Well it filled the engine compartment with burnt plastic smoke. Needles to say the ski didn't run so great on the smoke. But once you got moving a little faster, I guess more fresh air got in there because it would run a little better...

    300/440/550 Kawi 650 or 750 driveshaft

    When you do a Kaw 750/800 engine into a 650 X2 you just reuse the stock Kaw X2 driveshaft. I put a 750 SS into my 650 SX some years ago. I just used the 750 engine and the rest was all 650 stuff (Pump, electrics, ect...) Now I am not positive about the pump swap because I tried that once...

    300/440/550 x2 sucked water

    I removed my crankcase drain on my other Kawie 650's. I wouldn't use that drain either! It will probably start leaking and then cause a lean condition! They are right about the water in the gas tank though. Drain it all out and put it in a clear container. If there is water, it will...

    300/440/550 $1850 Kawi 550 - Who the hell is Steve Roundy?

    Wow I want one now! lol I would take a 550 w/ an 800 engine and pump in for that price. Of course it would have to have everything else Matt already has on his SJ like bars, finger throttle, duals, prop, ride plate... oh $hit I might as well just get an SJ! DBR

    300/440/550 x2 Hood mods

    That is what I have been doing lately. That made me laugh. It is the truth though. Hang on for dear life with you left hand. You get extra bonus points if you do it with your thumb hovering over the stop button! I only do it if I am under say 25 mph. Over that I bail. I don't really try...

    300/440/550 x2 Hood mods

    I have found your best bet on an X2 is to run a lanyard or to have your idle down really low. Just yesterday on my X2 I was riding on the hood. Well usually I just stand up on the nose and let off the gas and burry the ski under the water like a sub, then fall off the ski. ( I don't have the...

    300/440/550 Just Some Pics Of Me Riding My X2

    I posted on the other site but no one posted back. I guess all the newbies were too scared or something. I can't rock my X2 like you guys in the surf but if I had some surf to ride in, I would be killing it in a few days. My friend from school just got an X2. He is like man how do you ride...

    X2 44/46 flame arrestor.

    Yeah when I go back to an SBN on my X2 I am going to use a Stock SJ arrestor! I spent all that money on a machined aluminum adapter, Tau Ceti F/A and an outerwear only to have the Tau Ceti fall apart. Not Worth It!
