    FX-1 Snapped driveshaft!

    Was out riding in some chop and it let go in the middle of the driveshaft. Clean break right through. It has the stock pump and after a quick search it looks like it’s a different length than the superjet shaft. Any shops out there sell replacement shafts, or can repair mine (weld and machine...

    stock bilge siphon in pump - ok to cut?

    I'm pondering cutting the long steel tube (flush with the surface) that currently sticks out inside my pump anout 1.5 inches. will cutting it back effect it from working or will the water flow from the pump still create suction to draw out the water? will it make any diffeence in performance...

    nozzle boring on a sj ?

    stock siphon for bilge (obstruction in pump) will cutting this shorter or near flush in the pump prevent it from working? will it still create suction to drain the bilge? It sticks way out...

    how much could i sell my ski for, a good asking price?

    my advice is keep it but don't spend so much on it unless you ride for a living - assign a budget for it and don't go over. sell other things you do not use to pay for its mods. if you are in school and trying to save money be sure to pay yourself (save money in a savings account). too many...

    modifying intake grate with Dremel

    To help further reduce some cavitation I thought it might be a good idea to take my dremel to the intake grate and smooth things out a bit. My question is has anyone tinkered with this with much success? I was thinking of making the the leading edges on the bars rounded and the trailing edges...

    Add one to the FX CLUB!

    Mine's the same way (all stock looking). I think the turf kits covers all that on the sides too. If not you can probably the the stock stuff re-done in a different color..

    Add one to the FX CLUB!

    congrats - that's cool. I just got an FX1 after about a 10 year lull without a ski! My lasy one was a 650sx and the FX would crush it. I just completely rebuilt the engine and am in the process of adding various performance goodies. I run about 45:1. I heard a must have for the FX is a...

    Couch appreciation

    Actually people with more fat do float better. When I was on a dive trip down in the Caribbean there was a really big lady like 400+ lbs that got in the water with us. It was the only way she felt comfortable with mass supported by the water. I remember watching her like 90 feet down float by...

    look at the bright side of couchers - at least these guys were watching where they were going and also provided some nice wake! :bigeyes:

    Skat-Trak Impeller

    I recently picked up a Skat-Trak that was repitched to 20-25 for my fx1. I read some threads that this is not the optimal impeller for my set up (ported but no pipe, yet). I was wondering if it'd be worse than stock if I can't get the RPM's up or if the difference would not be that noticable...

    FX1 Riders

    got a 20-25 pitch Skat Trak I picked up a used Skat Trak 20-25 pitch for a mostly stock 61x with the exception of porting. I'm going to install it this week & see how it is. Anyone have any thoughts on the bend in the impeller on the outside of the leading edge and if it's normal or not. All...

    fx1...

    My last ski was a 650sx, now I have a fx1. The fx1 feels more slippery in turns but is much lighter and less clunky. It's closer to a 550. oh, and a lot faster. I like it.

    First ride!

    Congrats on the ski. What exactly is chine walk? I'm guessing it's the chines not gripping in turns and gives a sloppy feel. If that's the case then my fx1 that I just finished building is a chine runner! The thing is like a greased up 550. Got a ride plate, and scoop grate coming today -...

    750 Kawi, backfire not running

    Not sure on a ski but when I used to backfire my motocross bike, it'd often bust up the reeds (carbon fiber). check em out.
