[Sospikey]

ok, so afew of you have said steering...what should i get i can affored a https://www.wamiltons.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=293 thats too cool looking what do i want -4 -2 0????

thanks

I'd say keep the stock steering. Everybody bash the OEM steering, I actually think it does the job well!?

Cut 2" (or more) from the stock pole. Ditch the stock pole pad foam and hydroturf that thing instead. For some bottom end punch, go for a Wetwolf cone. A pole limiter rope is a good idea even when riding flat water.
Get some low price foot holds and hydroturf by the sheet. Do not forget a footstrap in front, nice feature.
Get a Worx 205 or 201 grate, hooker or concord impeller. Modify your steering nozzle for some more throw and add an spring for that handle pole.

Straight bars with some ODIs are mandatory!

You can actually zip-tie 1 bilge pump to the steering cable in the back of the bilge. Works great and will not hydrolock.

Everybody will say " Get a b-pipe". The FPP Type 4/Riva drypipe will get you some serious punch. It will need some attention upon first installation along with some mods to be "great". Best part is the price, around $400 used. Search around, there are a few of us that swears by it for freestyle/freeride use.
A head is nice to add.

In general, shop around, buy used and search the forums.

I think you'll get a lot more bang (power!) for your buck there.

I found this a while back, the RIVA pipe and the type 4 are more or less the same pipe. Its power is very similar to a b-pipe, and generates really nice hp on stock porting. Those who have tried both claim that the b-pipe is more smooth in the power band. The type 4 can be a hand full at times when you grab more throttle than intended...

OEM will do. Once you go with more mods, you can add a second cooling line.

also whats going to be involved with tuning the ski other then jetting the carbs? one more question keep the air box or go with the flame arrest?

If you go ahead with the porting, they should be able to help you with jetting.

If you plan on spending time UNDER water; keep the oem air box. They work well and keep water out of your carbs.
