[chris chisam]

hi i am a new memeber i just bought a 89 x2 650 it has K&N filter mariner head performance reeds 44mm carb west coast exhaust and water box wiesco pistons and the whole jet propultion is a bigger system by a company called like PJS or JPS something like that i am not sure the guy i bought it off of gave the original head cylinder w/ pistons still together and the oe jet system it is a really nice ski but i am having a problem riding it and i have seen these pontoon like kits on certain models of the same x-2 i was wondering where i could buy one. i would prob only need it for a week but i dont mind the purchase if it helps me learn how to ride. if some one could email me if you happen to know the factory OE Kawasaki part number or if you know someone who would be willing to sell theirs i would be much greatful thanks. email me at www.christopherchisam@yahoo.com thanks a lot

dude just ride it the way it is. they really arent that hard to learn on. once you get it, your gonna like it alot, and if not ill buy it off you...maybe

 

[chris chisam]

well i am having a problem pulling my self up over the seat it has some sort of hump in the rear of it. its a nice looking seat though like a purple marble color

 

[Snackem]

Is the seat a stock seat or is it a racing seat?

 

[chris chisam]

looks similar to a camel hump. i dont know why they did it but it is causing me some trouble

sell that gay camelback style seat ond go with the stock style those are for people who like to sit and ride.

i also have a 91 650 sx would i bought the skis as a pair and i figured i could learn on the x2 and then step up to the stand up but would it be easier to learn on the sx?? the x2 has a lot of stuff done to it and the sx is pretty much a stocker

 

[ksmith83]

ive have an extra stock seat with no "camel hump". where are you located?

 

[Snackem]

I agree, get rid of that seat and try to find a stock one.

I would keep the X2 and sell the sx. Then either use the money to build up the X2 or to buy a superjet, if you can throw some of your own cash in with it.

 

[ksmith83]

i see. well if you cant find any closer to you or something, id be willing to sell you it. only thing is that im located in california.

 

[Snackem]

I'd take him up on that. Maybe spend the evening scouring classifieds in your area in case you can find one near you. I've seen seats like that sell for around $100 on ebay, so you probably won't be out all that much.

agreed, or just save the money from the sx and use it for when parts on the x2 break, ski sounds pretty high end, you wouldn't want something to break and not be able to cover for it instantly...but for sure get a stock seat on there. good luck...

 

[chris chisam]

alright thanks i ll try that a stock seat. this might be a myth but i also heard of a supercharger for the Kaw 650 by a company called like Jhonny O's supercharger is that real or false

 

[Snackem]

If you get a stock seat on there it will be MUCH easier to ride.

 

[ags0702]

Agreed, go with a stock seat. When I got my X-2 it had pontoons on it, I sold them before I ever rode it. I've ridden my X-2 twice thus far and it feels like I've been on it for a year.
