I know there is an overall thread about goals for 2013, but let's throw up some goals for Daytona. Mine are: #1. Stay Alive #2. First roll in the surf I'll be looking for help with both. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Working on a buddy's ski (730cc Yamaha Superjet), and here's the issue: We had it out and it was running great, then started running poorly, as if it was missing on one cylinder. We pulled the plugs and saw that the rear plug ground element had broken off. We pulled it out of the water and...

Since I suck in the surf, will someone ride my ski and show me what it can do? After that, will you teach me?

Might be moving to Austin, TX in the coming weeks/months. What's the ski life like there? It will be good to be a little bit closer to some TX riders, as there's not a lot of life on skis in Louisiana. Any other helpful info from those who know the area about life in general is welcome as...

How does everyone set up steering? Are the bars super loose from side to side, or tight, staying where you point them? What are the pros and cons of each?

I've been having a few issues with my motor and electrical parts. I've noticed a lack of power (almost like it's running on once cylinder). The first thing I did was rebuild the carb, and yes, I used an authentic Mikuni kit. I also got that tingle in my fingers when touching parts of the...

Pulled the carb off today to clean it up a little bit. In the pic that follows, you'll see what I found. Here are my questions: 1. How much of a problem is it that I found significant rust in the area indicated? 2. What is that part? Is it removable/replaceable? 3. Is the motor in any...

Keihin carb attached. Super clean. Looks like it's off a kawi of some type. Any of the experts out there willing to chime in? Also, it may be for sale if anyone's interested. Special K&N Filter discount applies, as we all know how awesome they are.

Anyone riding in the Chi town area this weekend? I finally got the ski down here, and I'm itchin for a ride!

I need some advice on this ski. First the details on it, then the questions. It has a 95 701 engine that was completely rebuilt except for the crank. The engine now has about 10 hours on it. It has stock exhaust on it right now, but I'm including the Factory Type 4 Dry Pipe. The hull is...

Is this comedy? I think so...

2006superjet was a great seller. Super fast shipping, confirmation number, and the footstrap was just as he said it would be... perfect. Thanks man.

I've seen posts for Freeride Tour maps from earlier years, but none for 2008 and 2009. I think with google maps it would be cool if someone made a Freeride Tour Map. It would be sweet to see some of the riding spots, and see what rides are where and when. Anyone else agree? Edit: There is...

Just looking for some info on ski life in Chi-town. I'm moving down there in a couple weeks, and wondering where people like to ride, where you guys keep your skis, and all that stuff. I'll be living in the city, so my options are going to be either renting a space or a storage unit I'm...

Can someone help me read these plugs? They're freshly installed, and I ran them for about a 20 minutes throughout the throttle range. They came out pretty dry, so I'm not too concerned about what looks like moisture. I'm trying to tune my single carb, and can't quite get it. It's still...

Having trouble with my 95SJ. The engine compartment filled with water the other day when I had the hood off, and after the bilge drained it, I tried to start it and it barely turned over. I charged the battery, and it tried to turn once, then only clicked. I hear and feel clicking in the...

For those of you who have dry pipes (Riva freeride of Factory Type 4) on single carbs, what are your carb settings that work best? I just got a type 4 and want to get the carb set up and tuned properly. The only info I've been able to find is the jetting done on a single carb blaster with a...

I'm in the middle of building up my squarenose. Thought I should document it and possibly get a little feedback. I bought a 92SJ Hull with a 701. Here's what I started with: 61x Rebuilt and Bored .5 over AC aluminum pole with odi's and limiting rope Watercraft Factory footholds Solas...

I just ripped the old turf job off my SN. I've attached pics to show what I found. It wasn't pretty, that's for sure. Where do I go from here in order to get a nice looking turf job? I'm hoping the phrase "elbow grease" doesn't appear too much! :veryhappy: I'm also thinking about...

I need some help choosing a pipe and a head. Here's what it will be going on: Rebuilt 61x Bored .5 over Stock Head, stock exhaust Stock Carb Pump tapped for dual cooling Trying to decide between: Pipes: Factory type 4 Pipe R&D Dry Pipe Riva Red Pipe Heads (Both ungirdled)...
