Other Modifications you regret.

[SXIPro]

There is probably a thread on here somewhere like this, but oh well. Please list any modifications you've done in the past that you regret doing. I'll start the bidding with:

A/M Flame Arrestors
Internal Fuel Fill

Next?

ATP freestyle nozzle. Destroyed my SN steering cable.
No better than quick steer modded OEM. IMHO, YMMV.

 

[jetpilot36]

cutting the front of my SN hood to get some extra air. now it just takes on extra water.

 

[restosud]

high compression needing race fuel.never again

 

[woodsrider845]

Letting my girl ride my SXR.

I had to buy another one, (making 13), and mod it to be faster than her's (my old one).

Never again. Some chick want's to ride somethin'.... well, you know.

edit: Good thing she doesn't like the superjets... No, wait! poop, if she did, I'd get my aftermarket hull.

Took my cylinders to a local guy for a hone. He looked at them and suggested to clean up the ports due to the stock casting. Me being new and dumb said ok. He gave me back my cylinder "with a $500 custom port job for the cost of a clean up." Ski has never ran the same since.

 

[Midlake Crisis]

$2000 used motor/ignition drop in solution to "solve my SN reliability issues once and for all."

Found hidden damage, one thing lead to another, got frustrated and never did get it installed. Been riding Kawis all year :0)

 

[blaster800]

reducing compression and running piss fuel !

polishing my coffman pipe and not coating it
stubby pump cone

Reinforcing a rn for flatwater was worst.

Cutting a oem tank for internal fill was a close second.

 

[Balduccimoto]

Life was simple with my 750SX. Even more simple with my limited Superjet. After that point it just got crazy and out of control.

 

[woodsrider845]

... moving in with my girl... (multiple years ago)

The expectations never cease.

 

[yamanube]

Buying multiple superjet based aftermarket hulls.

 

[patrickoconnor]

Epic.

I swapped out my CDI at the begining of the season. I had a friend send me a 61x (bought the ski with a 650), so i pulled the box apart and swapped in the 61x. Looked at the old CDI before i tossed it in the parts bin. 6. 1. X.


does that count as a mod?

 

[mike b]

Changing my dating ways to invest in just one girl...needless to say atleast I still have my ski lol

 

[Pro-pulsion]

R&D reed stuffers in the 62t cases. Restricted so much fuel delivery the manifold gasket was soaked around the cages to the point of holding fuel in its liquid state.

 

[zzylstra]

Total loss and compression on my 1993 oem crank. She didn't like it, needless to say that bill came at the wrong time

^ is TL worth the upgrade or will I be back here on this thread if I switch from zero fw and msd enhancer??

 

[zzylstra]

Worth every bit once you get a schedule down on periodic maintenance, like going from stock to bpipe all over again, that is once I got it tuned to my motor and riding style
