Mods list for the 08-09 first pics

[ItsRixter]

To be completely transparent I am not a fan of putting on aftermarket heads. It seems the bump up for compression at the sacrifice of MPG for minimal performace gain and/or the need for over 92 octane just isn't worth it iMHO


so here's my list (I like brap and reliability)
1)Steering absolutely sucks so that is first...pole, cable and umi (WTF was Yamaha thinking)
2)remove choke but keep airbox (no air filter if you surf or sub)
3)pipe & intake grate
4) ride plate
5) msd ignition
other items: bilge pump is easiest to do at the point of the pole at #1. the stock prop is pretty good (usually I do pipe and prop first for pre 08 skis). so step 6 might be repitch prop from impros to 9/16. then the fun stuff...footholds & turf

I don't go crazy on compression, just 35 cc domes and keep it pump gas friendly. Head will be last on the list. The ada is cheap at 344$ shipped to your door from ada all you need is your head bolts or some ss bolts from mcmaster.

I am going to get a dual pump bracket and I still need a switch. more stuff for the list!

Thanks for all the input!!!!

After weeks of looking and thinking I found what I wanted. Its the newest versions from XFT. I ordered these, 1208 biaxial, resin, turf and padding. Will order a new pipe and head next I love the 09

You are gonna have to cut them down to make them fit in the gun whale.

Finally through the first tank after riding all afternoon yesterday... This thing will corner like its on rails. I cant count how many times I was chucked off trying to turn sharp. I am loving it! Lean hard and give it throttle and it will pull you through it! Footholds will hopefully get in this week sometime and the pipe is paid for but on backorder I guess

All parts are here except jets and easy adjusters for the carbs! Since jets are a week out going to go ahead and reinforce it right now before we get our first stray hurricane in the gulf! Randy at watcon is where I am getting all the carb supplies from!
