    300/440/550 1991 650 SX Info?

    If you have the engine apart, tap the two holes for 1/8" NPT and thread in two pipe plugs with some three bond on them. If you don't have the engine apart just but thelittle block off plate. As for the lanyard, just find a face plate from a 750 SS or 650 TS. They are rare anymore used and...

    300/440/550 1991 650 SX Info?

    Pro Pulsion, how are you getting water to the head pipe? I see the flush kit connected but nothing else to the pipe.

    300/440/550 1991 650 SX Info?

    I had one. It was a good starter ski. Plenty of aftermarket parts on eBay. I am not on the Yamaha bandwagon yet but if I wanted to go big and dump lots of money into something, it would be a RN SJ. You just won't get much return out of a 650 SX.

In the past 3 years people have been doing them with more and more combo trick like no handers, double front flips, front flip tailwhips, ect... And no one is...

    No hander B1 flip on dicovery channel commercial

    Anyone rember stunt junkies? Maybe they are bringing it back. the two previous hosts were sky diver/BASE Jumpers and there was a wingsuit sky dive clip in there. If they bring it back, I want to see someone do a wall ride on a super motard bike. Build a super smooth transition up a 100...

    Kawi 800 vs. Yami 701

    I thought they came with no foam, or foam in the upper half around the foot holds. Makes me think that drain plugs area good idea after all.

    x2 Acc cable assistance.

    What type of carb? If it is a Mikuni SBN you just need a throttle drum/wheel and a throttle cable bracket. Hot Products carry these.

    who makes the best sxr crank

    I haven't had my 800 engine apart but don't the 650 Kawies have that done? Makes me wonder why they wouldn't do the same thing to an 800. Now that I think about it, I have seen some with the snap ring and some with the locating pin.

    B-PIPE on SXR?

    You mean timsert them to 10 x 1.50. There is a lot of X2 guys putting SJ chambers on their 750 engines in X2s. The chamber doesn't seem to hit the engine or bedplate. They usually stick some hydro turf in places. The height difference between the two head pipes is 1/8" or less.

    B-PIPE on SXR?

    Yep you are right. You just need an exhaust manifold for an 800 engine. The one that comes with the SXR wet pipe. Then just make sure you have the three propper bolts (they are obviously longer one one model than the other. They also may have different thread pitches.) Then rig up the...

    B-PIPE on SXR?

    I assume you mean this adapter plate they sell? I thought it was so you could run a Yamaha dry pipe instead of the SXR dry pipe. Say the R&D pipe whih was only made for the Yamaha engine. But I am assuming again. I would love to try a Power factor pipe on an SXR.

    B-PIPE on SXR?

    Supposedly the Yamaha one is a hair thicker where the three bolt pattern is (manifold to head pipe mating surface/gasket). Otherwise they are essentially the same. That three bolt pattern was originally used on the Kawasaki 650 engines. Factory pipe just made a new manifold that bolts up to...

    Taper bored 38's on a 845cc Big Bore?

    I am not trying to bash Group K but you have to realize they are a machine shop business. So they probably make more off of boring your carbs rather than selling you other new carbs. Just my $0.02. I know YZ ran a set of LPW bored 38's on that white ski you picked up. It ripped but then...

    300/440/550 Show Off Your 650 SX!!

    Here is my old 1991. I parted it out and got rid of it about 5 years ago. I put a 750 SS engine in it. It had a ported cylinder, R&D head, full 650 Coffman Exhaust, Box, Pipe, Exhaust Manifold, Dale's 650 CDI, Jetinetics 650 Flywheel, R&D Intake, RAM Valves, Mikuni SBN 44 silver series, Ocean...

    vid of me on my sj in flood

    Charlie is that a 440/550? Man WAD is gonna be your best friend now! A few years back the same thing happened here. I just so happened to have my ski in the back of my truck. I wish now I would have unloaded it and ripped up the flood. It was the main road and there was a car stuck in the...

    i have a confession!

    Ths ski shot at the end made me all warm and fuzzy insiude anxious for the snow to start piling up on the slopes. Reminds me why I live somewhere it gets cold enough for snow in the winter... Nie flips, I never had the balls to commit. But I would crank 360s and 540s on my BMX bike like it...
