750sx

[Darktower]

hi everyone...im new here came from that other site.......anywho my dad has a 650sx in his back yard that is beyond thrashed and i was thinking about getting it from him and completely redoing in with a 750 and set it up for free style, so my question is, Is this a fun free style ski or will i still want something else after doing this

You will want something else, but the experience gained from building your own ski will be priceless!:biggthumpup:

I say go for it!:cheer:

thats what i was thinking too....untill last week the only stand up i ever rode was my sxr and then last week i rod my buddys sxi and my god could i throw that thing around i new the sxr was big but man.....

a 650SX is light compared to sj or sxr or 750 sx or sxi or sxi pro.

they are a completely flat turning boat at speed. don't lean it over or the pump will just suck air and the ski won't turn either.

They slide out very easily. which helps for freestyle fun.

Hoodriding is easy on the 650.

In other words, you don't want one for racing, but for a almost free beginning freestyle ski, it has the right qualities.

For engines, look for a 750 sx or 750 ss engine as they have the lowest port timing for better low end. kawi's are known for not having much low end and the later sxi / zxi engines are much worse (but they make more hp)

750 engine swaps are pretty easy, use the 650 electronics and flywheel. See groupk.com for the how too.

Dave at impros woudl set you up with a good swirl impeller...(a must for freestyle)
