That pull cord is a crankcase drain, in case you get water in the motor. Most people remove it and install block off plate. Nice looking 650.

"I used my crankcase drain a few times after sinking the ski and never had a problem. Put it this way, use it when you have to only.

You got a nice ski with a great exhaust pipe and grate, now it looks like a 28mm carb, if it is, swap it for a 44 muikuni.

You will need a new intake manifold for a Mikuni. Its a worthwhile upgrade.

1st thing I noticed is the location of the bilge is not great. Should have it near the back where the driveshaft goes through the bulkhead.

damn, i wish i woulda known that a week ago b4 i secured it right there... :/

thats a nice clean 650sx, good buy. It looks like you do have a small carb.

Changing out to a bigger carb is pretty easy. What you would need to change out the carb to a 44 sbn(which has been stated before) is a adapter plate (or if you find a intake manifold, those are even better), the 44 sbn carb itself, gaskets, and possibly even an air filter. The nice thing about the stock carb that you have is the air filter itself does a pretty good job of keeping water out. The big difference that a larger carb would bring to the table is Throttle response. Which is always fun.

You have a nice exhaust pipe for sure, and the grate that is on your ski does wonders for hooking up on the water. You might want to buy a primer kit.

For now with what you have, I would just say get out and ride. Have a blast, if your ever down in Knoxville, TN. Let me know, I'll ride with ya. And welcome to your new addiction

I have these adaptors they will make a mikuni SBN 44mm fit on your oem intake manifold , you will need to have a machine shop open your manifold to 44mm or dremel it yourself, then get the carburator and you are set

 

[kawasakisxs0ul]

no thanks, not right now...

 

[SkiDiggity]

i am running a 44 with west coast exhaust and the 44 sbn was the smartest thing i did thing runs like a champ as for the bilge if i were you just put in in the back left corner that is what i did it works great just remove the head pipe and silicon it in looks alot cleaner that way too.

i will try to post pics tommorow or tuesday on how i did mine

BTW the color is BA

 

[kawasakisxs0ul]

thanks bro.. im deff going to put my billege in the back left corner tomorrow..
whats funny is 2 weekends ago the pipe coming from the exterier exaust hole was seperated from the waterbox... i took it out and filled my whole ski with water... it was so gay. i fixed it ran it and its doing just fine now.

 

[SkiDiggity]

hahaha thats a bummer lol we completely destroyed my friends this weekend i think a ring pin clip went through the front of the motor because the front piston and head are completely destroyed we may even have to put a fresh bore on it.

 

[kawasakisxs0ul]
