Shout-out to the folks at RSKI Riders and there most excellent steering pad. Because I'm using the Blowsion OVP steering on my RRP poles the RRP AST protection pad would not fit it and thus no protection for my body against the steering. I happen to come across the steering pad that RSKI...

Great suggestion - thanks.

If the pilot jet is to large (example 130) would going to 120 reduce or eliminate the smoky exhaust I have at slow speed (in no-wake zone)?

Well thanks to Facebook I found the answers to replacing the bearings. It was just like replacing bearing races on a trailer. Tab the old bearings out and tap the new ones in. Don’t need a press, just a long punch and hammer and sock that matches width of bearings and seals.

I have a 1991 Kaw 550sx. I want to replace the pump bearings and seals. I have the pump off and disassembled. Can anyone give me a step by step instructions on how to remove the old seals and bearings and then install the new bearings and seals? Do I need a press or can I tap them out...

What’s the benefit of a thick-tall handpole hood pad over the stock Rickter hood pad?

E350, awesome - nice to know there are others our age still riding.

E350; (1): initially I had a 701 with a B-pipe and a 144 mag pump. (2): I weight 173. (3) & (4): The Edge does Not ride nose high at all. I’ve got a “medium” length ride plate (meaning it’s length is no longer than the hull). The Edge rides nose down at all speeds. I had a Bob gen 2...

Yes, the Edge is more stable than a SJ. I have a 2009 stock SJ and the Edge is more nimble and stable. At high speed they both get a little squirrelly. The SJ carves turn really nicely and predictable - the Edge carves turns more quicker and tight. The Edge is like riding the 550sx but more...

Wheelman, I bought the Blowsion kit, 2016 Edge, and it has been awesome. The guys at Blowsion we’re very helpfull with helping me with my build. Jordan at Blowsion knows his stuff. I primarily ride lakes and really enjoy how playful the Edge is. It’s a very stable ski. When you land after...

Hey.......yes I've learned a lot from this forum and others on here with their build threads. Hope to see ya soon at the lake (I'll be there Friday).

Thank you.......

I'd like to share what I learned from building a Rickter Edge. I've learned a lot from this forum. I received a tremendous amount of help from Jordan Fielder at Blowsion - he is a great guy and I can't say enough about how helpful and patient he has been with me - shout out to Jordan. This...

On my 2016 Edge build my shaft was the correct length and I a brand new mid-shaft and I still needed to use the Cold Fusion spacer (about 3 mm thick) to give me the 1-2 mm I need to make my mid-shaft fit perfectly. On a Bob gen 2 I had I drilled out the pump mounting holes (made them longer)...

Thanks for sharing you successes and disappointments. I'm beside you with my Rickter build, it has been an adventure. Two weeks ago I took it for its first ride and the new pump failed - bearing failed. Hang in there because you are an inspiration to the rest of us dealing with similar...

Time and money well spent. This project has and will continue throughout your life bring you rewards more valuable than money. I'm 62 and have three sons, trust me the time goes by to quick. Keep doing these types of things for your daughter. Totally awesome.

After installing the Enhancer on you 701 did you have to adjust the carbs a little? I just installed one and I now get a little carb bog at 1/4 throttle.

I believe the Thrust ball scupper "made for Rickter" is made to fit the diameter of the tube. I installed one in my Edge and I've been very happy with it.

I've been running a Shorai lithium battery in my SJ and 550sx for almost three years and no problems. After riding I connect to Shorai charger and it tops the battery off in under 5 minutes.

Looks awesome. What the wrench on the gas tank for? My build is coming a long as well but my wife wanted new kitchen and bathroom floors installed right in the middle of my Edge build - crazy.
