    SX/SXi/SXi Pro i need factory pipe for a 750 sxi

    I don't have one, but have you tried direct from FPP? I think you can still buy them brand new. For what used pipes are going for these days (aside from yamaha type 4) you're probably better off going that route. Also... the 750 limited is one of the most sought after pipes. It'll take some...

    UPDATE!!!! SKI WAS FOUND!!!!! Another ski lands in a watery grave

    MAN... like everyone else I am extremely sorry to hear that. FWIW... I'm a scuba diver and I got certified at St. Andrews. That channel gets as deep as 75+ feet just over the jetties. My buddy and I were thinking of diving PCB sometime soon... and I'd be happy to help look... but chances are...

    Bilge switch: on the tray or on the handlebars

    I like those McMaster switches jetmaniac posted. Only problem I see is it's pretty expensive as well (switch "D" is the only one that stays "ON"). I've got one of those super expensive sealed, handlebar mounted switches. The seal failed, and water got into it... now it's dead. It looks like the...

    Riders getting old?

    Life story ahead!!! Fair warning!!! I'm probly a little younger than most in this sport (I'm 25). My dad bought a couple of Tigershark couches (Montego 640 and Monte Carlo 1000 if i recall correctly) when I was 11 yrs old. That's what introduced me to PWC's in general, and I've loved them...

    This is important

    Yeah... that sucks. It's happened to us on dog river. But... last year it was repealed. When I last rode through... all the no wake buoys/signs where gone. I guess after a few years of complete, public disobedience it only made sense.

    This is important

    Yes... but the only way you can fight this type of lobbying is with the facts. Much like what was mentioned about Lake Mead. That said... watercraft aren't the issue. I do realize this is simply an anti-boater or anti-pwc group using the (dare I say) Al Gore-esque guise of "OMFG POLLUTION IS...

    This is important

    Isn't there a better way to preserve the beaches/waterways besides banning motorized craft? I mean seriously... yes... internal combustion engines pollute in negligible amounts (be it 2 or 4 stroke engine). OTOH, industrial pollution (especially where I live) is way more widespread. My...

    Got to love old Ted Nuget

    LOL... figured I'd chime in as yet another loyal follower of Ted Nugent. Being from the South, my mentality fit's right in with his. Call me a Redneck, sociopath, crazy S.O.B., or whatever ya want. Be you anti-hunting, anti-gun, or just a hater... I respect your thoughts/opinions but...

    Paradise

    Your right DJ... it's all perspective. I'm still a fan of the vid in Benny's first post. No, it's not "west coast" style 12-16 foot "smooth" surf, but IMHO it's absolutely perfect. To me, surf riding isn't all about big air... although I do enjoy OC crew's vids. That first vid reminds me of a...

    Windows 7 - grrr already

    There ya go, Benny. I've been running linux exclusively on my desktop since 2003. IMHO it is superior to MS offerings, aside from the commercial application base. Although, I am getting tired of messing with wine for running the occasional windows game. A few peeps at work run Turbo XP...

    Surf???

    I hope so, man. But, these types of people will stop at nothing to keep skis/boats off they're sacred beaches. I'm sure that when water vehicles go electric, they'll fabricate more BS to ban them. We're to the point where no matter what you do, it's damn near (or is) illegal. Cali seems to be...

    total loss vs. enhancer

    ATP (air time products) is like Advent, in that it's laptop programmable. They mention you must use a "programming lead", and I don't know how much they charge for it.

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro fuel primer

    The pictured spout on the carb is correct. Buy a "T" fitting (1/4 X 1/4 x 1/8 i believe) and place it on the "Return" fuel line. I've never messed with the bulb type primer but it works the same way. You'll just have to figure out which line is the vaccuum and which line is the pressure (on the...

    engine runs away - revisited

    this just happened to me yesterday.... on a freshly installed big pin motor (94 750sx) with dual keihins. Well... it was caused by a misadjusted throttle cable. I had the f/a's installed while adjusting the throttle :banghead: I suppose this along with the initial cranking (carbs not fully...

    WB equiped with engine coolant?

    yeah... very intriguing. Seadoo's heat exchanger is built into the rideplate, which I'm sure is OMFG expensive. Thing is, you'd need some sort of flywheel driven (MRD?) water pump. Not only that, but you'd still have to tap a waterline off the jet pump for the heat exchanger. Not a "closed"...

    SX-R 800 Bilge Pump Help

    Yeah... i went to West Marine to price one out and was shocked. $49 is a steal. Probly should be no surprise, since West Marine is higher than giraffe tang anyways. We need a walmart for just boating goods. The half assed selection they have in the outdoor/automotive section doesn't cut it most...
