How'd u break ur neck?

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Broke my neck racing dirt bikes. I was in a rhythm section that consisted of three doubles in a row. I went to scrub the first double and drug my peg on the face and it dis mounted my feet, I landed but when I did I tapped the shifter to neutral. Went to scrub the next double, gave it gas, bounced off the rev limiter, into a endo, I bailed and went face first into the landing and I broke and dislocated my c5.

for freestyle or going fast

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Going for a fun boat. I love to go fast and jump. My superjet was built solely for bottom end and I missed the occasional buoy session with it! So I'm just going for a solid all around ski.

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Got a ton of stuff done today. Got the bilge installed, got the pump tapped for dual cooling and reinstalled, got motor, exhaust, fuel tank, and battery box all put in. Its a very very tight fit, and i have had to cut and grind soemthings. Here is a few pics.

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Got everything under the hood done tonight, with the exception of a primer and a throttle cable (both are in transit via USPS). Everything is smashed in there super tight, and if i wouldnt have put it together, i def could not work on it in the future. Here is my latest pics i took tonight! Enjoy, oh, i will get some good quality pictures once im finished up....

One stupid question and it makes me feel like a noob. My negative battery cable, where should i ground it to? is there any other grounds i should have other than the negative battery cable? Minus all the little ground in the ebox......

 

[TheCoz43]

Any where should work but I like to ground mine to the starter, just make sure you get good metal contact. Can't wait to see that thing in the water!

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Going backwards on the build.... had to pull pipe, tank, battery box to remove the starter. The brass wire that connect to the positive post was in half... dammit.

 

[Dustin88]

Should have keep the superjet! Well at least you still give superjets the thumbs up!

 

[ProSouth]

It's always the dumbest crap that causes you to remove everything but the bilge lol. When you thinkin you'll be done? Looks good though

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Im gonna try to get overything finished up this sunday!

 

[imabadfish]

looks good, should be a fun ski.

 

[Captain PegLeg]

I am officially done with the engine compartment!! Fired the ski up today for the first time and it sounds so sick, nice and throaty! Not all pingy like a 650 x2 normally is. Now all I have left is turf, seat cover, and graphics! Yessssss, hopefully water testing this coming weekend!!

 

[ProSouth]

you gonna go to sinclair. im gonna try to go. i can meet up with you like to see that thing

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Prob won't do Sinclair, but you never know! Just depends how this week goes. I will let you know!

Sweet Build. I also run a PJS viper 9000 but in a 1995 Kawasaki SC "Side by side" and it's a beast. Cant wait to hear what your X2 rides like.

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Think this motor is gonna rip in a x2?? if it pulls a sport cruiser hard, think about in a tiny x2?!?

 

[zpilot]

Your X2 should top out in the mid 50's with the right impeller....I do have a pretty serious pump setup & a very light flywheel so I have massive bottem end power. I have a 12vein set back magnum pump with a big hub 10/18 swirl so it rips as soon as you pull the throttle. My exact setup in an X2 would be nuts. The stock flywheel on that motor is very heavy and Im sure PJS did it for a reason.
You're going from a 52hp motor to 90+hp so the power is there just need to make sure you can get it down.

Not sure if you mentioned this but have you changed the jets and dialed in according to the pipe your running? If not that might be an issue. Stock if im not mistaken were 72 low and 125 high and I am running a full coffmans pipe made for the SC and I had to chnage the lower speed jets to 80's or 82's.

 

[Captain PegLeg]

I got my under padding down last night, gonna try to finish up the turf tonight. Hopefully water test this weekend then the graphics guy will be applying my graphics monday. I cant wait to ride this thing!
