I nominate DSlicker to engineer a conversion kit for us to put Yamaha motors into Our X2's!

Just step on his foot so he can't ride for a few months and he will have it all figured out for us.......:nutkick:

:haha: Thanks pete. I have to get one of the hulls back I sold first. :argue:

Ive been toying with this idea for a while and wanted to be the first but then started to ask myself why? I always want more power and was thinking about building the engine up that is pictured to plop in my X2. It's a set of 62T cases with a brand new Able top end. All I needed was a stroker crank and a set of pistons. Oh...and also some mega port work. So with this engine I'd be at a 73mm stroke and a 82mm bore. 785cc's or something like that which is still smaller than my 800cc small pin. Would the yami be better than my kawi....Maybe but it wouldn't be worth the additional $2500 to build it up.
Now what kind of stroker options do we have for kawi's? With a stroker crank I'm sure we could get them up to 900cc's and if ported right make gobs of bottom end.

i have considerd the stroker crank as well useing big bore sleaves bored out to 84.5 and a 5 mm stroker crank takes you to 886.2cc for big pin or small pin 85 and a 5mm stroker crank 896.7cc

Brent,

If you are serious, I have these:
pump, bed plate and motor mounts, and my green 95 hull (will need someof your glassing skills)

That I will def donate to the cause!

if anyone does this, I would be very interested. I have a basically complete x2 hull that I could make work if i got a 701.....

I welded up the bedplate myself for my js 300/650 swap and it really wasent that hard.....just took a bit of time to line everything up and then weld it in place...i used a 650 bedplate and modified it quite a bit.

I would say it would be easyer with a bottom set of 701 cases so you have good access to make sure the coupler has correct alignment.

It really isn't re-inventing the wheel but it is one of those projects I have little motivation for. I am sure Brent can make it work if he has the time and energy.
