Engine Keepers

[NZ21]

Why do the sxr engine keepers from blowsion go on the back mounts instead of the front mounts

 

[Proformance1]

My opinion is because most peps tail land with SXR's rather than nose stab, but they still work with stabs.

I was going to pick up a pair for my SXR, are they difficult to install, or is it just a bolt on part??

 

[Proformance1]

Just bolt on, make me an offer and ill sell ya my used ones

 

[1Scray]

Are they the Blowsion ones?? pics and why are you getting rid of them?

 

[Proformance1]

Parting my 05 ski, I don't have any picts here at work, but can get them if you are interested. Yes they are blowsion ones, complete with hardware. Some motor plate scrapes, from being hit PM me if interested $55

I would like to see a set installed. I have seen them on blowsion and just wondered what it looked like when installed in a ski.

 

[NZ21]

okay sweet yea just was wondering cause all the yamaha boys were wondering

 

[Don 79 TA]

piece of cake to install
have them on her 03 SXR
worthy investment, even though probably overkill for her riding style

both skis have them, SJ and SXR

 

[NZ21]

Make sure you put them in the right way though

 

[Proformance1]

they work exactly the opposite of the SJ ones, the tab is on the other side. Still does the same thing.

How common are motor mount failures? I ride surf, jumping and riding. I am all for a little insurance, and the price isn't too bad. If 1Scray doesn't want them I would consider buying for $55.

 

[NZ21]

I reckon have them in there for the surf better to buy keepers then having to buy mounts i have had mine in for a month and just pulled them out and i can see they are usefull seeing the marks on the keeper. There is a lot of pressure on those mounts in the surf.

Ive been using the same mounts since 2003 on my sxr....I think the Kawi ones are stronger.

I've busted two sets of motor mounts. Problem is it also takes out the driveshaft and couplers when the mounts break. A heavy stock pipe hanging off the side doesn't help much.

Do the keepers just protect forward/back movement or vertical as well?

 

[madscientist]

3 busted mounts this past week. i need o put some on the X2. only problem is the aluminum bed plate. i may have to make something for the application.

Nothing against the keepers, but side movements, especially on the SXR make them pop up and over the plates. Some nose stabs do also, tail landings they are great. I tried developing a new kind, 1/2" thick but they limited travel too much. Best I have found is to add 1/16" washers under the keepers. I have one set of modified ones, but they are grind to fit. You can see where I added more in front of the tab. I added more AL to stop the motor from forward jumping. Then I gave up and just rode the thing!
