SPARK

[701dave]

Making some specialized freeride parts for the Spark and was wondering if this forum has any interest in this sort of ski. Maybe if so the Admins might make a Spark section. Just a thought.

 

[701dave]

wow, not a single bit of interest.

Had one, it broke with 24 minutes on the clock the first day I had it.

My mistake, I thought it was a Freeride forum.

I had to much pride to ride a spark the first chance I had. The next week I gave in and took a 2up 90hp for a spin and didn't want to get off it. There isn't a single person here that wouldn't enjoy one. Light, quick, agile, what's not to like?

Even with all that being said, I don't know if this is the forum for them. I feel like we already make exceptions for the b1. I wouldn't be offended if there isn't a popular vote to bring a section in for sparks.

lots of sparks in our area but i dont see many of them in the surf. what ya making for them?

 

[red_ak_ranger]

I gotta buddy in Alaska who goes pretty hard on a spark..

 

[yamanube]

There's a handful in our area, exhaust mods, a tune and a new impeller make for a pretty fun runabout but it's still probably a turd in the surf.

At least they're not 1400 lbs and 14 feet long like most runabouts these days. And you don't have to remortgage the house to buy one.

I already sell a manual trim system for them, a Dual exhaust is nearly finalised, plus a single seat for the seat grab tricks, then some suspension steering among other stuff to make them much more capable in the Surf. Im under no illusion that these Sparks are great as a all round ski, but a lot of guys are taking them to the surf so why not try and make them better.

 

[bored&stroked]

Sparks are cool. Not superjet cool, and probably not what peeps on this forum are looking to throw mods at, but I dig em.

I no longer have my spark, but i pushed it hard in surf, it didn't break and wasn't a "turd".

 

[Dools]

Then there are the huge hidden costs of Spark ownership.

I can't speak for anyone else, but i had my spark for 2 seasons, put on around 75 hours of surf riding and it didn't really cost me anything except routine maintenance.
