Here's what I've heard. Round tops. Pro-X and OEM are very similar in quality and construction and seem to last well. Wiseco weigh less which should give better throttle response but don't last as long as Pro-x or Oem before needing a re-ring or rebuild. Also with Wiseco you do need to be...

I believe Paul has left for TX. Steve

WOW!! That is one clean looking square. Almost makes me want to paint mine. Almost.

I'd guess that 90% of the freestyle/freeride skis here would barely break 50mph. Bottom end power is where it's at for a us. STeve

Jamie, How much?? J/K:saevilw:

It's only 3 bolts but it is up to you. There's a 99% chance they are in there unless someone replaced the shaft and never put the O-rings in. Here's a pic

That's weird. I ran my lamey motor for 3 seasons in my 97 and the shaft splines still looked new. Steve

Sorry, for some reason I thought you had your ski completely disassembled. Next to impossible to see the end of that shaft when it is installed. If you didin't take them out then they should still be in there. Steve

Ya some of the ones I've seen really look like a weld that has been ground down. Mark, When you reassembling check inside the intermediate shaft to make sure the two O-rings are in place. The shaft will also wear quicker if these are not there. Steve

Good tip!

Remove hood, turn upside down, put hood back on.:biggrin: Don't worry about it, it is only about a cup of water in each hand hold. Steve

Jamie, Did you get her a ski yet?? Speaking from experience it is very cool when your other half rides too. Been riding skis together with my wife since 1991. Steve

I feel that way about my ski sometime but mostly its my motor that makes me smile. Just when you think it couldn't run any better you get one of those days where the air is cool enough to make good power, the water is warm enough for the motor to reach proper operating temp, the waves are big...

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: lol I find the new smilie funny for some reason.

Mark, I don't think it is a wear mark as there is nothing back there for it to rub on. I've also seen this mark on most of the superjet driveshafts. My guess is that it is from the manufacturing process when Yamaha makes the shaft. Later Steve

This may have already been mentioned but Re-inforce the sides of your skis if you plan on trying b-rolls and backflips. You can do a lot of damage while learning. Hood straps and handlepole limiting ropes wouldn't hurt either. Steve

Man that sucks, it just keeps getting better and better with that ski:17: . ken_mueller82 :tool: (Pwctoday) must have got some flunky to deck the cylinder. Your average aftermarket head runs aprox 0.050" squish clearance. If he were decking the cylinder to make sure it was flat I can't see...

Nice vid!! I like the rolls. Steve

Some good reading material for you. This is the tuning manual from Mikuni for those carbs http://www.mikuni.com/pdf/sbn_manual.pdf Steve

I think the blaster 1 was 320lbs and the SXR 800 is 350lbs. Steve
