I just got my pump installed. Very easy and should rip. Actually my friend installed it, but he said it was extremely easy to do. LMK if u have any questions.

Doing the kawi pump mod this weekend..

planning to uses stainless bearings and seals to fit the yami mid shaft housing with id to suit the kawi drive shaft... watch this space for results!

 

[steve-uk]

got the bearing (stainless steel) and seals.. fit into the yami housing like a dream!

started cutting for the kawi pump but come up against a problem.. looks like the zxi shaft i git from a guy on ebay was actually a sxi shaft... so come to a grinding halt... pretty much cant do anything without it

pics of the mid shaft mod to come

what length of shaft do you need i have a 650 sx driveshaft which measures measures 23 and 3/4 inches that you can have for free if that works

 

[steve-uk]

thanks Mario.. i think thats the same as the one i have.. which is too long.. i have one on order so fingers crossed this ones right

900zxi shaft fits right in.

I have a zxi shaft that I will not be using. PM me if you are interested.

 

[special fx]

Should be 19.625" from the coupler flange to the end of the shaft.

 

[steve-uk]

thanks guys.. i think i have one on its way to me.. fingers crossed its right.. if not ill prob take you up on the offer yamanube..

.. hey special fx.. those tubbies you made.. how much would you charge for a set?

 

[special fx]

Sorry on the tubbies.....I'm not in the biz and I just make junk for my own use. You can make your own though, it's not that hard.

 

[steve-uk]

so slight stumbling block on the shaft... hopefully one on its way is the right one :fingersx:

so we stripped out the old seals and bearings...

.. replaced with stainless steel bearing and seals sized for the Yami mid shaft housing and Kawi shaft

this seems a much simpler way to go IMO

 

[steve-uk]

Started cutting and glassing for the 650 Pump...

whoever said that was the easy part needs a :buttkick:

 

[special fx]

I love it....going with bearings/seals that fit both Yami housing and Kawi shaft was the first option I had investigated, I just couldn't find the right parts. Please post the part# info for these and put me out of the machining biz....Please!! :Banane09:

 

[steve-uk]

can see the part nos on this pic.... i only used two seals .. the stock yami set up is three.. i may add the third

it is possible to get a normal steel bearing... which is cheaper.. i though the stainless would be a better option

i think the bearing was like $25, and the seals around $8 each
