650/X-2 Help a brotha out!

Find out what it needs to make it run before you buy it. Look up all parts and prices including shipping. You will find out in the jet ski parts world you will be quickly nickel and dimed to death.

If its $150 or less and all there with a title go for it. Get it running and sell it for much more then buy a sn superjet.

i started off in the same boat, got an 86 for 200 bucks, by the time i was done getting it the way i wanted, i would go back and kick myself in the nuts for spending the money. u have some time till summer, find a Yamaha!!!!! parts are way easier to come by and there are way more people on here to get advice from. dont tinker with the 650 i wasnt happy at all, unless u plan on doing a 701 conversion. find a square nose IMO

Maybe you'll luck out if you keep saving I've seen some squares go pretty cheap

I started out with a 650sx that a friend gave me,rode it for a couple years blew it up.Then i bought a parts 650 built it and sold it.Then i continued wastin money and bought a 750sx.Shortly after i bought a clean stocker 650 SN for 800 bucks,did the 701 conversion,footholds,etc and i rode the snot out of it and just continued workin my way up.If i could go back i would def start with a SN even if it is a 650 SN.But i do understand the high school budget,i am only a junior.So if u can get it cheap enough and everythin is there then go for it.I still have alot of old 650sx parts sittin in the garage so if u need anything just PM me.

alright im gonna keep my eyes peeled for a sn.

alright whel i went with a buddy to check out a ski for him, and he got it, it is a kawi 650sx. and they had another ski, a 93 kawi 750 that runs awesome, it needs a little cosmetic tlc... but its got a aftermarket head, pipe, and air cleaner (from what i could see)! i asked how much they wanted for it and they said 750. i talked em down to 500. made a deposit on it and going to pick it up on saturday. what do you think? 500 sounds like a smokin deal to me... what do you guys think! a runner! im so juiced to go get it!

 

[dragginblazer]

Not a bad deal. Wd40 and glass cleaner will do wonders for cleaning it up.

 

[vitalikol]

Pipe and head cost more then $500. Good deal. Don't worry about cosmetics just have fun !!!
