Hey guys, so the other day I just picked up a 1988 650sx. The thing is near mint and so clean! Apparently only used like 2 times a year for 8 years. And I believe him because it's mint. With that said, it's also stock
I don't want a super fast ski that pulls your arms off per say, I'm mostly looking into handling upgrades as reliability is a must with me. So here's my questions anyways.
I've heard of guys putting sxr or js550 sponsons on their 650sx. Does it make a big difference like they are saying? They talk about it being night and day difference. Is it worth it?
What kind of rideplate and pump should I have? I want more bottom end than top speed, but I don't want to make it porpoise either, just a happy medium which handles nice. Anything like that out there?
I've been playing with the idea of a custom handpole. I would be making it myself and I have all the capabilities to weld and machine etc. Are therer any good plans on here for one? If so which one do you recommend?
My friend has dual carbs of the zxi he said I could have. Would they work on a 650 with the right manifold and settings of course? Would it be worth while? It is free don't forget.
And lastly, the stock exhaust mod that guys are doing, does it make my ski run hotter? Therefore less reliable? What are the drawbacks to it? I could do that very easily as I have all the parts laying around but if it's going to make my ski a time bomb I'm not interested.
I know my last two are about power but I just thought of them. Anyways, mostly noob questions and I'll look like an idiot but hey, gotta start somewhere. I'm more of a motocross guy but I'm really getting into stand ups, they are so much fun! Can't wait to see if you guys can answer some of my questions and get me some new parts!
Thanks
