FX-1 New (to me) hull...

[eat wake]

I bought this 1995 Yami FX1 15 miles from my house. Its BARE!! It doesnt have a title because the numbers were used to title a previous owners aftermarket hull.

I have a titled 650 SN now...will most parts transfer over? id sell the 650 motor and snatch up a 701 to put in it instead. How much stuff will work and how much wont work? Or is it a better option to sell the SN and fund a build and buy numbers seprate??

if you have stock(or even aftermarket parts i guess) parts let me know via PM...thx

the motor should work but you will need to get a new midshaft, drive shaft, pole bracket, pole, and motor mounts. (im pretty sure about those but not sure if anythig else is needed)

well I sold the SN and bought a 61X motor and electrics for the FX1... I still need a lot though!! I have a Kawi 650 pump from a X2 im parting out so i think I will go that route sense its parts I already have. Will a SJ steering cable/ throttle cable/ start-stop switch work on the FX1?? Anyone do their own pole/pole bracket for their FX1??? Also i am thinking of doing the 650 kawi pipe in the FX1 for the time being (will a PJS 650 Kawi pipe work if I get the correct 701 mani??).

To use the kawi 650 pump you will need a zxi driveshaft and different bearings for the midshaft. A SJ steering cable will not work but the throttle cable and start stop should. Not sure on the pipe.

Pipe will work man, i have a kawi coffman in mine.

I have a great fx1 drive shaft for sale
pm me if interested

The sj steering cable will work if you use a sj pole thats whats on the ski in his avatar

I have a zxi shaft lined up from a local Im 90% sure. What bearing do you run w/ the conversion?

I might be aquiring a Coffman 650sx pipe this weekend so I will have options as far as that goes... how does yours hit alex_hockey?

I dont know what pole I am going to run yet on the FX1?? Maybe fab one once i get/fab a pole mount...idk???

 

[Confused]

I'm not sure the exact measurements of the bearing but you will need one that has the same OD as an FX1 midshaft housing and the ID of the ZXI driveshaft. I believe there was a thread about this. You might do a search.

LOL your fine, no offense taken!!

If someone is local though and has done the Kawi 650 pump swap, I wouldnt mind buying the brew to have a knowledgeable hand there when I do mine...your place or mine, idc...

I havnt run my pipe yet man, basically besides the opening dia. of the headpipe its the same dimesions of the sizzler pipe for the 701, i just bored my headpipe and the measurements were the same as my sizzler. Should make decent power i havnt had my ski out yet this year shes currently being painted.
