    note to self, dont do subs in shallow water

    I did what I thought was a really deep sub a few times before with the throttle pinned. After a few seconds the engine had consumed most of the oxygen/air out of the engine compartment and the ski lost all its power. Now I imagine there was more air still in the engine compartment since it...

    salt water plus bolts dont mix!

    It has been my experience that if the bolt broke off because of corrosion then it is not going to come out with an easy out. You need to soak it in PB Blaster and try heat. You will need to turn it so weling on a nut is the best bet. I hate breaking off easy outs in the bolt/hole you...

    X2 + Sx-r = Sx-2r

    I tried to find a pic of my old 650 SX hood. The X2 only has those 4 little stops. Looks like you cut one off to remove that drain tube. Those suckers are epoxied in there good! But the X2 does have the hinge which helps for support a good bit and it rests on the top of the hull by the...

    X2 + Sx-r = Sx-2r

    Really the only foam in X2's is that big hunk under the hood you can see and the foam that is beneath the foot wells. I like Pete's idea of using the 94/95 X2 waterbox and foam in the nose. It is less weight than the rubber pedastools and it adds a little boyuance. Pete put his X2 on a...

    X2 + Sx-r = Sx-2r

    The only thing I have against your design is that you removed the "stops" where the hood rests on the hood seal. I chopped mine out too but I was going to make longer ones when I fabbed a new hood liner. Still though, I like the chopped hood look. If i could only make one of those fancy...

    Kawasaki 1100 ZXi Interchangeable Parts

    I posted on the other forum but haven't had much response. I bought a non running 96 1100 ZXi. Well it is going to need an engine rebuild, a new starter, a new stator, a new bendix, a new flywheel, and maybe a new exhaust manifold as well as a front stator cover. So I need to know what...

    Name That Ski ???

    I ma betting on the notion that the top deck has been replaced with an aftermarket piece. The hood is definetly not a stock JS 550 hood. They didn't have that angle on there. Now as to what type? I remember threads on the other site about a Piranah. Anyone can confirm? Do a search on...
