so why a kawi? why not go with the yamaha triple? and the rocker doesn't look that hard you just cut out a big section and glass in the new piece. there are ton's of builds on here that have done it. Just do a search if you feel like doing it later. The piece is just kind of expensive.

Looks good though can't wait to see video and how it runs.

Thanks. And kawi mainly because at the time we were looking for a motor we couldn't find any Yamaha in the area or semi close to brevard. We got this motor with e box, Carb, exhaust, fully rebuilt for 800. And local. Lol I wanted Yamaha though. The rocker nose is in the future for sure.

Ran into some problems .. not getting any spark. Did everything I can think of in the book. Sent everything to Mark at Rad dudes for a little work and maybe even some powder coating. Kawi problems. -_-

Thanks Rad dudes!

Kawi 1100 is the hot ticket in the blaster hulls. With our kit the Kawi drops right in and bolts up centered in the motor mounts so the ski still rides the way you know and love just with a ton more power. Also the Kawi fits with tons of room you don't have to deal with that big useless pipe the yami trips have.
All the R&D is done for you with a Kawi 1100 all the SXR guys have been running them for years. The Kawi hits harder and is an all around better setup motor that's why we picked it for our trip swap kits.

Go ride one before you knock it. And when it comes down to it a Kawi 2 Cyl makes a world more power than a 701 or 760 also.

Well you have me there i have not ridden one, but i have ridden plenty of 750's and and 800's and honestly not impressed. Sure the 800 is great but it's a tank! The only time i did not feel the weight of that thing was with my buddies ski that has a ton of mods done do it. The 750 seemed sluggish too on the bottom. Now i have not ridden anything with the 1100 except for the ultra 150 which screams i can agree with that.

This is all just my opinion that's all. Seems like it would be easier to keep yamaha with yamaha but upon further reading the kit you guys provide is great for a quick easy swap.

750s, 800s and 1100s are turds in stock form. But, once you set a Kawi 1100 right, they rock. The ski in the vid above was one we built for a friend, all it had was a dried out pipe, non girdled head (150psi) and some off the shelf yamaha 44s from a wrecked gp1200. It didn't have a timing advance or reeds, lol.

There is a reason why all yamaha motors that make power are converted to flat tops, they make more power of the bottom, but, just have to be set up right. My sport spec open kawi (bolt ons only) is just as quick on pump gas as my old 8mil Powervalve lamey was with 220lbs of compression and total loss.

Minus the black sunspot on orange. That's her. I love it. Still have to put accessories on her. Like?

Also. She wont run. Everything is working. She keeps trying to start and then backfires. Are we doing something wrong. Help!

Both actually. Rad dudes redid the ebox and fixed the error. Switched a plug or two I think. The pistons looked horrible when we took them out. Missing pretty much all clips. Guy we bought it from said it was a fresh rebuilt motor. We trusted him. We didn't realize we would be missing base gaskets and what not. So we drove to Clearwater and bought sbt top end. I was livid and the Guy doesn't want to do or help with anything. Paid 800 for motor. Here are some pictures for u guys. (And yes. I got my nails done to match my motor!)

Was the person you bought it from a member on here or PWCtoday?

That sucks.
