Just finished reading complete thread. Great job man! Came looking for some help with a tray job and got sucked into following along. Hope to see that thing in Havasu this summer!

just found this thread.... thinking about starting on my tray reglass any updated pics of your process?

This is what I did but only had time to ride for about 30 mins total. Gonna take all suggestions and get this baby broke in right. Thanks again. Mayday.

Hallie thanks for the great reply I appreciate it. I put 5gal of 32:1 premix in my tank and unfortunately did not check my plugs while riding. I am away from the ski for a few days so I will do that ASAP. At this point I am thinking the best thing to do is drain my tank and use that fuel in my...

Grenaded my 98 701 motor last season(bad crank let go) and following a complete rebuild I have started the break in process. Yama lube 32:1 half throttle or less 10 min rides with 10 min breaks. Does this sound ok? What should I be looking for when I pull my lid during breaks? So far it seems to...

Great feedback! Helps a ton. This ski is primarily for my kids to learn on. My 13 year old daughter rides it now and will be upgrading to my 98 rn soon. At that point my 10 yr old daughter will get the sn. That's why I want to keep it as stock as I can and fig having the spare parts can't be...

My 1990 sn is pretty rough shape as far as a few drivetrain issues. I have a friend with a vxr 650 that was wrecked in the 90's (glass issue only) and has a super low use drivetrain. Is it worth it to swap the stuff from the vxr to my superjet? I have tried searching and all I could find was the...

Looking good bro! Building skis in an apartment gives all kinds of confidence to guys like me who stare at our squares thinking....... "Someday I will rebuild you"!!! keep up the fine work! Mayday.

Finally a thread I can bring some knowledge too! First off the island inn(pink hotel......which is now brown) is a nice place to stay. If you like to party the London bridge resort is where you want to get a room. Reason being its where two of the best club scenes in town are located( world...

you guys are ont he money! I really thought i had a good crank and this was going to be a simple tear down anr rebuild but it isw looking like I will be better off to part what i habe and go get another square. O well lessons learned! will keep you posted on what i decide. Mayday.

Well I finally got my crankcase torn apart today and was pleasantly surprised!!! Not anywhaere near as bad as I thought it was gonna be. A bunch of dirt and grime on the stator and even in bottom of crankcase but I think once its all cleaned up and re sealed it should be good. Shaft itself is...

Gotcha! ok well thanks for all your advice I appreciate it!

Will check into the throttles. What should I look for on my starter ? I have two that work.

I know what you mean about the footholds. i have been telling myself im going to cut apart my square for months now. Good luck with ur winter projects. Mayday.

wow thanks for all the info! That motor sounds sick!! Would you happen to have a recommendation for a good am finger throtle lever ?

Can anybody tell me what the standard thread size is for the aftermarket finger throttles ? I was anticipating switching the stock one from my 83 over but just realized the 90 throttle cable is diff size. Thanks Mayday.

I will see if i can find a sbn carb hopefully not too $$$. Funny you should mention the turf I just finished a conversation with my wife and daughter where they told me they wanted to leave the turf and deal with more relevant improvements first! I will definitely be changing that stuff...

Yea I was worried about the reliability factor but i am really focusing more on the experience of a teardown and build up. If we get a few seasons out of it that will be more than satisfying for me. I am currently looking for a realistically priced rnsj which will leave my 650snsj for her to...

Hey everybody! My names Mayday and I am building a 550sx(kind of) for my daughter to ride next summer. We have two skis one 90sx pp motor and one 83js pp motor that we are pullin parts from. I am hoping to keep my costs relatively low but understand the $$$ involved with building one of these...

Thanks! I ordered a puller earlier today but was getting antsy. I am rebuilding a 550 and have figured out that the previous owners (i presume) poured oil into the stator inspection hole(totally speculation) and I cant wait to see how jacked up it is in there. Mayday.
