Re: The two stroke side of my garage....
Thanks guys...
I don't keep them all running....it's actually kinda hard just keeping a few of them going. .... I just pick a few each year that need work, and concentrate on them. And sadly, it always takes 2-3 times more time than planned...so the others just collect dust.
The CBX should be done this winter, and my gas tank should be to my door step soon for my RGV SP.... those two were this years projects.
I want to have the GSXR 1100 done for it's 30th birthday...so I only have a little more than a year to have that on the street again.
I live about 20 miles east of South Bend.....where winter lives 6 months out of the year it seems

Re: The two stroke side of my garage....
Hey Busa1300, Nice SX800. I am in Kokomo 2 or 3 times a year. I have a 1990 Super Jet and a 89 550 jet ski that is my wife's ski. We used to race them for years. Looks like you are getting quite a collection. I started with two strokes in 1967 with a Yamaha YJ1 scrambler and never looked back.
We make waterboxes for that SX . I personally like the Kawa over the Yamaha as I like the way it handles better than the Yamaha.

Re: The two stroke side of my garage....
I bought a JS650 stand up new back in 88 as my first jetski. I loved it and used it every weekend that wasn't raining... Then about a year later the oil pump drive snapped....out in the middle of lake Wawasee..... took about 45 minutes of kicking to get it close enough to shore, to drag it the rest of the way to dry land. Rebuilt it with bigger pistons, different head, stainless prop, bigger pipe....and so on. Then after my kids came around, it sat collecting dust. Till I finally said goodbye to it about 10 years ago.
have rode sit downs of friends for a number of years....but very boring after about 20 minutes or so...(unless pulling a tube)
So it was time to relive my youth one more time, and I bought this up in mid Michigan....50 degree water, and light rain on the 3 minute test ride..... but even at that, I could tell it was going to be way better than my 650 ever could have been.
Hurry up summer

Re: The two stroke side of my garage....
Finally with the correct bodywork....about as done as this will be getting, until I get my exhaust and powervalve gaskets. Then I will be able to put my later version Aprilia powervalves in, to make sure my engine stays in one piece longer.

Re: The two stroke side of my garage....
Another one to feed.... 1980 KD80 $375 off Craigslist.
Used this to teach my girlfriend how to ride....Now that she has the concept, she's ready for the ABATE classes.

Re: The two stroke side of my garage....
The RGV250 VJ21 I picked up on my Thanksgiving/black friday trip several years ago, finally got some attention this past week.
I put a RF600 3.5 wide front rim on with early 600 Katana rotors, and some SP fully adjustable forks.
Then I decided to try and get it running for the very first time.
Pulled the carbs and put them in my sonic cleaner...completely went through them, readjusted the slides/choke/powervalves...
Then cleaned the tank out and the fuel tap...
Bolted it back together and fired up on the 3 kick....rebuilt the front brakes so I could slow down.
And took it down the road....it still screams when it gets into the upper revs
Still has a ways to go yet though..... Making a new list of parts to start searching for
