    Well I'm new to Auckland and keen to get out riding.

    Have finally just got ski ruining after destroying it at fof 1....

    Going to need some help tuning it and don't know where is a good place to take it tuning.

    Plenty of people about up here to help you out. If you want to head south to the waikato river (out the back of pukekohe) then I'd be happy to give you a hand.

    What's your ski setup anyway? Also current tuning setup (Carb size, low and high jets, springs and needle/seat size)? Can probably give you a good starting point.

    Sweet sounds good I'm away next weekend but after that would be keen to head down.

    Current setup is a fresh rebuild, bored to 718cc, mod b pipe, twin 38s set to
    Change Main jet to a 135
    Change the spring to a 95 gram spring
    Low speed screw 1 1/4 turns out
    High speed screw 1 turn out

    Yeah, either at the elbow (which is out new Aka Aka) or probably Tuakau bridge. Both obviously on the Waikato river. The bridge may be the best. Here is a link to the location of the little beach at the bridge that dedicated to jetskiers apparently. You can access through the main reserve on the other side of the main road. You drive down a little metal road to get to it.

    Hey Timmy, probably not going to make it this weekend unfortunately. Didn't get any bits back from the re-conditioner in time so I'm engine-less. Will have to hook up another time.
