    Thanx for the reply Shawn_NJ. I looked up the Kawasaki TS on the Kawasaki site and called a few dealers, the site shows, but doesn't list the face plate and/or whole switch. And the dealers told me they could not get it either. Does any one know where I might look for the TS kill/stop switch...

    As off right now I only have the start/stop switch on my bars, what kind of stop/kill that uses a lanyard switch (possibly also a key) do you suggest I should buy. I have been surfing around and know I should jus' ask what has already been proven to work; by the ones who use them.(?) Thanx

    Thanx W-Nut and Shawn_NJ I am going to pull the carb off today and get it cleaned and from all the pics I have looked at the battery I need is jus' a small engine one. Hopefully it will run strong. Is the PSI on a strong cylinder 150? So this X2 base does not run any oil what so ever; I now...

    New To The X2

    First of all, I like to say thanx for letting me be apart of this forum, and hope to be around for a long time. I just recently purchased my first jet ski, an 1989 650 X2 and I am not afraid to say this project is leaving me with a lot of question. I have been working on 2 strokes all my life...
