    1995 Yamaha FX1

    Bought it back in Feb, had it 3-4 weeks and it threw a rod smashing one cylinder and right through the bottom of the crank case. Piston met head. Lost a few mods coz of this!

    Bought another ski as a donor while I look for a third engine...

    Now has:
    Jetted carbs
    180psi head
    Alloy flywheel
    Factory B Pipe
    Timing advance
    Stainless Prop
    Aftermarket bars

    When I find another engine I will copy the port job from the broken one, and get new domes for the Riva head! Also thinking about going (proper) footholds and tubbies for the other hull, as well as a blue paint job (or at least move away from pink and purple).

    Wouldn't start so pulled the engine apart to find that it had a rusty crank due to a shitty rebuild by Titty1 (Trademe).

    Now has:
    Rebuilt & Jetted carbs
    Stock head
    Alloy flywheel
    Factory B Pipe
    Mild port job
    Boyesen Pro Series Carbon Reeds
    HotRod crank
    Adjustable Rev Limit
    Stainless Prop
    UMI Racing Bars
    Pro-tec Intake Grate
    Riva Rideplate
    Stainless Prop

    hey were those square footholds in it when you brought it or did you put them in?

    Yeah thats the other ski I had when I found it cheaper to get my engine parts by buying another ski... This is getting the new footholds. The squares were in there already - bastards on ya feet!

    Yeah swapped it over and cut about 2" off... Got the one that broke welded up too!
  14. Lookin good. You should paint the bottom black to get rid of the last of the purple.

    Rumble, is that a dedicated FX1 'B' Pipe or a Superjet one?

    If it's a Superjet one, were there any fitment issues?

    Mate has an FX1, wants a pipe (preferably a 'B'), but the proper FX1 version is a touch hard to find!

    Cheers.
