SX/SXi/SXi Pro 750sxi pro + fpp ???

[Fenix169motox]

So hey i have a sxi pro and i just put a a FPP in it today.... Sounds like a sweet combo right? nah.. i had an fpp on my last 750 and she was a bolt on and ride thing.. not this time,
has anyone had to cut out thier hood so the pipe wouldnt hit it when you closed it?I had to cut off both of those intake ducts and notch out the rear intake duct just to close my hood... is that normal for the sxi pro?

and now time to tune.. i'm going to tune for where i ride but whats a good starter for the water jet tuning screws? (yessss mine actually turn this time!) Right now they're all set at 2 turns out..

That's not normal for a wet pipe. Dry pipes are a different story.

Yeah i've heard the crazy cutting out, its a 98 and as far as i know its a limited pipe.. is there a difference in the pipe from year to year?

iirc,the air ducts are slightly different location on a sxipro but not sure.it's been a while.
for the dry pipe you had to mod the hood.

You should totally post up a thread on how you made that pole.

mine has the wet pipe but the original owner moved the intake tubes on the hood to sides farthest from the air openings.

no info on tuning screws mine are mashed up but it runs well so i just leave it be.

had to cut my front hood tube to get it to fit in mine!

it sucks when i rode it the other day the steering cable fell out of its holder so i had to modify :wall: its nice that its shorter but it doesnt feel solid, could be the aluminum. no cracks in my welds tho!!!!!!!! :439::439::439:

i had the same issue when i put min in. had to cut a lot of the hood to get it to fit over the pipe.

 

[Fenix169motox]

Well at least i'm not alone, i hat to cut off both of the tubes that come down and notch out one of the ducts. just outa curiosity, what settings are your pipe and carbs?

 

[ratboy120206]

Mid-closed, top1/2, dont remember bottom

 

[AlexanderD]

mine are not set-up to my liking just yet so i wont comment on any settings.

 

[Fenix169motox]

I was gonna start with FPP's suggested settnigs and maybe open the mid one 1/3 turn. just seein if anyone figured out the sweet setup

 

[Crab]

top screw only 3-4 turns.

The pipe screws work as follows.

Opening the screw closest to the manifold will increase low end. As you move away from the manifold and open the bottom one that will increase top end. You must close down the first screw and open the last when running a bouy corse. You do not want too much water into the pipe. That would be good for nothing. For low end open the first screw anywhere from a 1/2 turn to just over 1. Keep the middle one closed and open the bottom one 1/8 ish of a turn. This is just an example. Each ski's mods and riding location will make every ones water screws just a bit different. This will give youa way to get it to your desired riding style.

Ok reviving this post! She bogggggs really bad at around 1/3 throttle but once you get it past that she's fine. FPP's website doesnt have anything about what pop off pressure i should run and i cant find anywhere what the actual setting is..... Even tho its not pop off i still want to get them right.
bottom screw is 1 turn and the top screw is 7/8 turns out..:brap:
