onesojourner's 2000 sj project

[oxnard111]

I know it says REV holds in the first post, but those are the non enclosed right? I just ordered a set, so just wondering if this is what I can expect.

 

[onesojourner]

thanks Mark. yes those are revs with no enclosures on them. I really don't think the enclosures would have added much. they are easy to lock in as it is. I bought the enclosures with them I just don't like them.

 

[onesojourner]

ok this project is just about done for now. here is my bilge install. I bought a rubber boot from bass pro and I got the switch from orielys. I put some 5200 on in the boot and let it goo out when I screwed it on. then I covered every possible spot that water could leak on the whole switch. This is a very water proof switch. I have it tied to the handle bars with some black zip ties. its very solid.

Good job.

 

[onesojourner]

thanks man 4 days until I hit the lake.

 

[onesojourner]

just made a little change. I flipped the finger throttle so I could use it as a thumb throttle.

 

[FLY6584]

Thumb throttles absolutely suck in my opinion. I had one on my Seapoo XPL and I hated it. Thats just me though. You may like it though.:biggthumpup:

 

[onesojourner]

I really have tried to give a finger throttle a fair chance. I just can't do it. I am tired of coming home not being able to move my nuckle. It cuts my riding time short every time I try to do it. I might give an aftermarket throttle a chance some time but I don't want to spend any more money on this right now.

Winter Project 2010

Last year I found some leaky crank seals and my compression was getting a little low so I am tearing the motor down and doing a few extra things.

Motor:
bore to 81.5
wiseco pistons
TW porting
replace front and rear crank bearings and seals
ADA girdle head with 35
port match bpipe manifold
MSD enhancer
replace falling apart k&n arrestors with new factory unit
carbon tech 202lt reeds


Hull and other stuff:
Light carbon reinforcing in engine bay (thanks to a sale at uscomposites)
replace pump bearing(s)
hooker impeller (have not decided on pitch yet)
clean up pipe so it doesn't look like some one puked on it
bleach, die, or replace fuel tank

 

[onesojourner]

I have the motor pulled and it is completely dissembled. Right now I am working on finding the cheapest prices on the parts I need and getting them ordered, finding the motivation to start cleaning out the nasty hull when it is 30 degrees in my garage and figuring out how to pretty up my bpipe.

Here's a little incentive to get ya going on the cleanup - :biggrin:

 

[XFT LOU]

Peter I'm sure it's going to look good when completed even at showmepro1200 standards.

 

[onesojourner]

Thanks guys, showme thats about what I am shooting for and some nice BRAP improvements.

 

[showmepro1200]

30 degrees in the garage though - yeah I don't think I'd be doing any water-type cleaning right now either - brr.

 

[kawyjunki]

Peter just take it outside, mix up some soapy snow and start scrubbing. Then just let it freeze dry. LOL!!!

 

[onesojourner]

that's a great Idea. I will take off my shirt so I can work on my tan while i'm out there...

See now your thinking, Spring is only 2 months away,:woot: get a jump start on that tan.

CLEAN! as always Jeff

 

[onesojourner]

well after a little more research it looks like I am going to end up sending my crank off to sbt. I could order new oem front and rear bearings for about 200 bucks, or get some cheaper stuff for about 120 or have the whole crank rebuilt for about 280.
