The biggest initial problem with the 800 platform is you are permanently at the mercy of Jeff. If you run his pipe or head you may be screwed if you have a problem. The second biggest problem is that I'm not sure there's anything special until they get BIG. Once they get big they get expensive like any other motor. The 951 is rippin right from the get go and the parts are redily available and through reputable companies.

it looks like peak performance might offer a 951 conversion/mounting setup for superjets. Can anyone confirm this. Is it available to the typical schmo?

ok, I did some searching and it looks like there is only about a 20 lb difference from the 800sxr to the 951, and that was with a stock pipe on the 951, so after ditching the stock pipe the power increase will be well worth the added weight. Im in! someone buy my 750 stuff!!

I'm not putting it in a Superjet, I'm putting it in a Trinity SXR...
...and yeah, there is a kit. :fing02: I am sticking with my SXR motor for 1 more season, but if I still want more power gain after dropping 95 pounds off my ski (who knows), then it is 951 for sure.
By the time I sell my Kawi Motor, Factory Pipe, Kawi Electronics, Vilder Flywheel, it'll almost be a free upgrade.

Dry engine weight with electrics,starter etc 108 lbs with carbs,reeds and intakes 115 lbs with factory cast exhaust pipe 139 lbs,that was off a fairly accurate digital bathroom scale.
No there is not a kit to install a 951 in sxr.
It takes alot of fab work and some good redneck engineering:ugh2:

Actually I believe there are now brackets made to bolt one in on the back holes,the front mount has to be glassed in,but it goes in flat ,not that big of a deal,there are couplers made for these,ignition systems and pipes,what else you want?:wavey:
