Yami conversion plate interest thread

[Crab]

I'll be doing the low budjet version, either a mod for a Kawi plate, or just start from scratch from steel. Sorry, just not really into the Bling thing, just functional and practical for me.

Theres an old saying that goes(IF YOU CAN'T BUY MODIFY) thats great for those guys with a shop full of equipment and the skills to use it,you know me I am a modifying fool,but I also realize that not everyone has the time ,tools or skills to do a conversion like this,or they might just want to go with a setup they know they can bolt in and go,this bedplate is for those guys.

[go with a setup they know they can bolt in and go,this bedplate is for those guys.[/QUOTE] exactly what i want i love yamaha power my first yam power was a 1981 r d production racer only sold in canada, europe and japan, i love them they are so reliable grab a cheap sn, a cheap x2 hull, custom bedplate party time

I think it's great idea. More motor options are good. I like the idea of still using the kawi driveline.
Is the x2 bed plate the same as 650sx? I believe all kawi 650/750/800 stand up's all use the same bed plate.

 

[madscientist]

yes that is correct so this bedplate will open more doors than just us X2 fanatics

 

[WFO Speedracer]

Yep anyone who wants a yami in a seacouch,TS,SX,XI,SS,JETMATE ,X2,SXI OR SXR will easily be able to convert them.

I Should Have A Blank Plate Shortly To Play With,after That It Will Move Along Very Quickly

Nice, I am shocked the SXR guys arent all over this.

It would be nice if John could have some made up and available at the freeride in APRIL.

Wedo just sent me a coupler, I will do what I can as time allows. Been a tough week, daughters car is broke, and running nonstop from 4am-10pm.

I've decided to go 62T 760 in my other X2 so I need one. Has anybody mocked one up yet? I plan on using an ADA Yamaha / Kawasaki coupler and using the Kawasaki driveline.

Here's where I'm at, this is with wetjet style engine mounts. I'm making a flat plate that will have angled pieces to pick up the motor mounts, the flat will just bolt down to the existing inserts. Centerline of cylinders is about 3/4 inch more fwd. due to the depth of the yamaha coupler.

This needs a bump! I rode YZ250FPilot's Yamaha 701 RN SJ a few time now and it rips! Way more powerful than my stock 650... I mean 633cc X2

After seeing the pics in this thread:

I still think it should be rather easy to fab up. I better get out my measuring tape...
