650/X-2 winter x2 build

[Snivilous]

So what does that summarize as? I have issue of not reading more than 3 sentences on average

 

[Austin]

Reliability with what? That it won't predetonate?

Though yea, I agree that with advanced timing and 195psi, 93 octane is probably too low.

With the extra pressure, its harder on the crank and rods, and I dont want to put new bottom ends in this thing every 2-5 years. I would rather just play it safe and keep it relieble. I would like to be able to run this wot since my bob wont be wot ski! lol

Wow the ski turned out great!!! My only comment is stay close to the dock with that little kart tank! haha

 

[Austin]

thank you! Yeah I can only get a good 25 to 35 min out of a tank of fuel!

 

[mydixiewrecked]

I didn't go through the thread so you may have already answered this, but why are you running the kart tank?

 

[Austin]

The stock tank doesn't fit witht he factory 750 pipe so I ordered the kart tank and it was alot smaller than what they said but its okay! It worked out perfect!

 

[dbattersby20]

ski looks sick, love the nose. Take as many pics of that white turf now while you still can... how many gallons or liters is that cart tank? All white looks so clean. Makes me want to do it too.

 

[Austin]

tank is 9 liters I think. THe white is not bad at all the grips get dirty pretty fast but they clean up very easy with some simple grean. I havn't even been able to get the turf dirt yet so I am very impressed with the white so far!

 

[Vumad]

A 550 fuel tank might fit. Interferes with the exhaust hoses some.

Is your exhaust manifold missing a nut?

 

[Austin]

YEah I lost the nut a week ago lol, but I tried the 550 tank and I just couldnt get it to fit like I wanted to, but I dont really care any more I like the small tank

 

[TheCoz43]

Nice work Bro!

 

[Austin]

Thanks man! I appressate the comments

 

[tjindo16]

you def put alot of time in the hull... looks great

 

[JeffX2&SX]

That's a really nice job.

 

[Austin]

Thanks every one!!

 

[TheCoz43]

So you cut your ride plate flush with the back and added a D cut?

 

[Austin]

yep! It rides great like that too! I also have a ocean pro extended plate that I left full length but i faded the sides to the back of the ski so it looks like a super extended ride plate.

 

[TheCoz43]

I plan to mainly ride in the surf, any suggestions for a ride plate on an x2 which I has also been cut 3" off the back? I read through Vumad's ride plate post and it seemed alot of those guys were cutting them flush with the back. They also said to play around and see what you like.
