as the title states. What makes them different from each other. I know about the whole small pin/big pin thing but what else. My cousin is buying his first ski today (92 750sx) & we have a junkie with a 98sxi.
Between sx and sxi, the age, graphics, and the motor are really the only differences. The sxi pro has a slight difference in the hull and therefore has a shorter driveshaft not enough difference to justify paying extra or holding out for. I say go with the SX. It's cheaper, easier to find parts, and has a better motor in my opinion. Built right, you'll be impressed with the amount of power you can get for under $2k-$3k total including the price of the ski.
Sorry, but the statement above isn't very accurate... the differences between the SX/SXI hull and the SXI Pro hull are VERY significant. The bottom hull curve is significantly altered, not just the concave leading into the pump inlet. The SX was a very fast hull but ridiculusly difficult to handle at top speed if the engine is modified at all. The Sxi Pro hull is a bit slower, but WAY better handling, especially if you add hull extensions and front side sponsons or tubbies. I have owned both, and after riding my SXI Pro, I will never bother owning an SX again.
i think my sx is the easyest ski to ride i own
So... It's safe to assume that you don't own a SJ, SXI Pro or a SXR?

Kawis handle better its a known fact. I perfer my SX hull over any SJ hull i have ridden (with tubbies or without)

get block offs for the oil & crankcase & a new throttle cable. :burnout:
Why blockoff the crankcase drain? Fill that motor with water once and you'll wish you had the drain. I never had a drain fail but I was glad I had it many times. I wish my Sxr had one too.
