840 X2 Freerider 3.0

I tried it this weekend.... I spent more time floundering behind it like a kook & could'nt get on the thing. I think the seat was getting in the way:wall:

Pete, do you have a closeup pic of the trim bracket/knob mods? Have any spare brackets you want to sell..lol?

Here are some more detailed pictures.

The little NAPA ETX 9 battery I run, Sealed glass mat, 120 cold cranking amps. I trickle charge it sometimes just to make sure it is tip top. It is about half the size and weight of an Oddasey battery. I have it mounted in the hull under the original battery trayp spot to keep it low enough to run my electric box in the bracket about it since the original spot is too close to the carbs.

This is the tank I melted to make fit the Superjet mod chamber.

Footstrap, I was kinda in a hurry so a drilled and screw right into the fiberglass.There are 3 pretty big stainless scews holding it down. I use 5200 on the holes. Not sure how long this will last. Might need to epoxy a piece of aluminum in if it pulls out.

Trim system. Uses BMX parts and a hacked up stock unit with a 10mm bolt through it. I drilled a hole in the bolt and threaded the cable throgh the bolt. Two nuts pinch the cable. It is kinda tricky getting the right leverage for this to work. I have re-drilled the holes a few times in different spots.

In its current state of tune I get 25 degrees. If I snugged it up a bit I can get 30.

I am running the 650 stator here but I am about to open it up and kick in some serious advance to see if can take it. I have been easing my way into this new motor. This is actually a picture of my old motor on the bench.

Couple other thoughts:

I put my Jet Dynamics intake back on for surf riding and actually like it better fro the lake too.

I am also going to take another inch off the back of the hull to get me a little higher on flatwater tricks. My trip to Jersey got my Sawzall trigger finget itchy after talking to Joe B and Goose. Those guys are running 3 inches off the back on their superjets and love it.

Where's the air intake ... could you post up a couple pics?

looks good pete.

Pete, before you pull everything, find TDC and mark it through the window. Then borrow a digital dial back timing light and preset it to around 15 degrees, then shoot it at 6500 and fine tune the dial back until it lines up with the mark you made. That would be your current exact timing as you are running now. I plan to get the Equus Pro, so I can get more exact, looking for 18 degrees at 6500.

I just advanced the timing almost as far as it goes (to the left of the line) and it goes really nice. I have 190#'s of compression and tried some race gas at first. Then when thet was gone I ran 93 pump gas. Seemed to be fine on the pump gas. Just no long runs with it wide open. It really improved the bottem end brap. I highly ressomend advancing the timing. It is a lot of bang for the buck.


I am working on getting that picture of the air intake too.

Watch your plugs carefully for flecks of aluminum.

Pete you rotated the stator counter clockwise all the way? I have the stator notch and the notch on the cases lined up, am I retarding it too much? I dont think I am going to reinstall the Jetinetics Aluminum flywheel, as my lightened stocker is pretty painless to deal with.

Crab, how much is concidered a SAFE bump up when running 93 @ 175psi?

I believe 18 degrees at 6500 should be safe according to my sources, but watch your plugs for tiny flecks of aluminum.:rocketwhore:

 

[shawn_NJ]

Pete, did you saw anymore off the back of the hull?

I rode my new small pin today (stock length hull, and non tubbied). OMG wat a difference than the "Legdragger" hull mods! I cant ride it this way, PERIOD. Its horrible! Going to try tubbie 1's on the new small pin x2 to compair both. Very interested in hacking a few more inches off the back this go around!

My lines are as far apart as possible...almost. Not quite hitting the screw but totally covering the slot in the stator plate. Counter clockwise is advanced. Don't be scared! Just don't do much drag racing with it like that.

On that air intake ... did you drill through the metal plate mounted just below the handlebars, on the inside of the hull?

 

[Legdragger]

No it is just a tube throught hte hump in the hood that drops down the right side of the inner hood just behind the battery real low away from the carb. I will try to steal a camera for you. Sorry it is taking me forever to get a camera near my X2 hood.

 

[X2guy]

I'm going out right now to throw my advance plate back in. Hope the advance makes a big difference as well.

no worries ...

1:11 made me laugh. hehe

In the 1st video at 3:02.

Did you all install that spring step on the back of that wave runner?

My friend wants to get a couch for his wife and she would need a step like that. How's it working out for you?
