    pre 08 vs post 08 superjets

    Regarding the chine walk, under acceleration I find this ski is not bad at all. It's just really nimble on the roll axis. However bone stock mine did a really crazy bad chine walk when off the gas, decelerating. It was unpredictable and could be violent. Once I switched to a D cut stock plate...

    Super Jet Carbon Fiber OEM Style Hood, Who Makes One?

    Right and go a long way to reducing the weight added by the 1100, which near as I can remember is somewhere around +40 lbs with the oem pipe. Pretty sure the weight delta of the hood will be about about -10lbs for a carbon and probably -8-9 for glass. Based off other carbon and glass hoods we've...

    Super Jet Carbon Fiber OEM Style Hood, Who Makes One?

    Yep that's it @yamanube. I like what I presume are the intakes on the top there. Good for getting air in to the 1100. Right now the plan is to paint up two hoods, the one I got from you, and then this one. I'm interested to see how the weight difference impacts handling, especially considering...

    Super Jet Carbon Fiber OEM Style Hood, Who Makes One?

    I talked to Phoenix at Precision Hitec Xtreme last night and he said it has been a while since they've made a SJ hood but they would be happy to do so. I'm waiting on quotes for non-visual carbon and glass. I like the design of his and from what I can tell so far from stuff online his...

    Super Jet Carbon Fiber OEM Style Hood, Who Makes One?

    Could it be one of the Waterdawg ones? Rear intakes look similar. And it looks like hand holds were an option. Underside looks similar too. Good to know about the billet non lowered brackets too.

    Super Jet Carbon Fiber OEM Style Hood, Who Makes One?

    This definitely looks oem style, thanks for the link! I've been searching hoods, this guy would have done a bit better if he included hood in his description lol.

    Super Jet Carbon Fiber OEM Style Hood, Who Makes One?

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm going to keep trying to get in touch with WDK to see if they did in fact stop. And yea OEM style to match with the OEM pole mount and pole mount cover / nose piece. Buzzard thanks for the info on the RPOT. If it matches up with the OEM nose piece that's good...

    Super Jet Carbon Fiber OEM Style Hood, Who Makes One?

    I'm looking for a carbon fiber, oem look hood for my 2009 SJ that I'm itching to do a kawi 1100 conversion to. I'd like to take weight off the nose so I'm looking for a lightweight / carbon fiber hood. Looking for a used one, but also there seems to be a few companies that make them but aren't...

    Super Jet New Build ....95 Square nose / 96 Raider

    That paint looks really good. Reminds me of a modern take on an old race ski- sort of reminiscent of pjs graphics. Great job man.

    Carving SN

    I can't imagine it would have the nose pressure to carve well, especially at medium to high speeds. I would like to try a shortened one, but that kind of defeats the purpose with that style hull. By comparison if you shorten a 96-07 that's the starting point for a lot of aftermarket hulls...

    Aftermarket waterbox on new SJ?

    Keep the stock box. A pipe is what you should be looking for. Stock the ski has a muffler which is why it's so quiet. Guys with a 2016 in our group put a factory pipe on and it is very noisy.. still has the OEM box. The straight thru pipes are loud in general than the center bleed variety if...

    Cool WR500 Protec Pipe

    Ooooo. Pretty sure that fits both. I havent seen too many. Almost felt a pang of remorse for kicking the 500 engine to the curb. This would eliminate the stock pipe with its 67 different gaskets.

    '14 RN My First Build: Refoam, Footwells, ect.

    There are a bunch of lakes in Michigan which are crystal clear. All sand, no muck. I am constantly amazed by the clarity of the naturural ones. Torch Lake up north is amazingly clear too. Kid Rock and some celebs have places up there, and theres a yearly freeride organized there as well thru...

    Other Injuries Due to Riding a Stand Up..

    Split my leg open while carving hard on my x2 years back. "Oh I can see your bone!" Is not something you want to hear from your friend circling you on his ski while youre floating in a scuzzy lake holding your leg closed.

    Dented/Damaged Flywheel

    Junk it. I wouldnt risk it, especially if the balancing might be off and/or the magnets might fly apart. You can get 750 flywheels for like 60 bucks. Check ebay and pwctoday. I believe 95 sxi engine was the first year of the big pin, but the flywheel is the same as the 94 so I'm not sure. The...

    New to me 750sx w/ All the Bolt Ons

    I would definitely go through that ski carefully. First off, the factory pipe jetting is for a stock single carb. Jetting can be found if you do some searching, more likely it will be on pwctoday. Given what youve said about the pipe and head, take both off like you said. Swap the screws, they...

    2010 Rickter FS-2 - Mutt Exhaust Leaking

    Ben if you bring that ski over to Adams or Bruce's we can get it fixed. I need to check my gasket stash for a head pipe one. I would be on the look out for a factory pipe mani because you can probably sell that coffmans for about the same that you get the fpp one for.

    Hooker 9/15 Slipping?

    Pro-pulsion while I agree big hub impellers will perform to their best potential with a matching pump hub diameter, we have personally seen gains on a few skis from a small hub to a big hub, all else equal. Latest was last summer on my 550/800 (then 750) with the Rhaas pump swap kit. I tried a...
