I went to pull my engine out yesterday and the only mount that was still holding it in place was 1 that i had replaced a few weeks ago. They were all sweet before my last ride on sunday, which was by no means extreme, found a couple of tiny waves for some small nose stabs and never hit the bottom. From what everyone says OEM mounts are meant to be good, should they all fail this easily? They didnt tear, just the top plate has pulled out of them. Is that how they usually break? See pic. I have 2 new oem mounts, so do i buy 2 more and stick with them or are the cold fusion ones the way to go? Obviously if I go to CF ones i'll have to do all 4 at once i guess?
Just grab 2 more oem ones man I cant speak for the CF mounts cause ive never seen them in real life before but stockers are good.
Im waiting for cold fusion mounts to turn up fuck yamaha and fuck monkey grip. i read a thread of OZfreeride a week ago where zack bright said you dont need kenny keepers with cf mounts! http://www.ozfreeride.com/forum/viewtop ... =11&t=5084
Dont belive that shit sickboi...they are good mounts but still move enuff that they break couplers...ALWAYS run keeps if your doing flips and stabs. Im running GP1200 mounts and so far have lasted well over a year
people always think they break all their mounts at once, but in reality the mounts will be already broken, or delaminated to some degree at least, they just dont get checked properly. OEM are generally pretty good ...but only last a season if you ride a reasonable amount... those cold fusion ones seem like a better design ( the metal hooks into the rubber more)...but people seem to be breaking them; http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?100 ... ost1169363 but sounds like cold fusion is replacing under warranty... also I dont know about not using engine keepers....they limit the foward movement of the engine to stop the couplers coming apart....when the mounts break OR stretch...and those cold fusion ones seem to be able to stretch quite far http://youtu.be/Z_opeTUwm74
Yes...They are 1mm higher than SJ mounts so you just push them out as far as they go on the holes and seem to work fine...Ive have read on the x that some guys get them milled 1mm but mine seem to fit straight in...And they are cheaper than superjet mounts
Tofa I have always wanted to try gp800 mounts are they the same as the gp1200 ones? Shit that mount on the video stretched a long way!
I had the same problem last ride, broke three mounts and the engine moved so much it dislodged my hood, broke my latch, bent the front hooks and smashed my intake. I hope like fuck these new CF mounts are better than OE. Am putting them in today so fingers crossed.
tayne fucked all his OEM mounts in his stock race boat we been running the cold fusion mounts and they seeam to be doing the trick but remember because they stretch they will do damage if you dont have keepers listen to Tofa he a wise man ( didnt call you old) also running GP 1200 mounts for the last year and hung in well
Have just found two broken Cold fusion mounts in my SJ after 1.5 months, No more than four rides.... Acording to that Xh20 link above they may have had a bad batch. Suck. Is every ones GP mounts still holding together?
Colf fusion are replacing my mounts but I found these. They have a life time warrant and are $120 USD for four of them. You just have to send your broken mounts as an exchange as he uses the bases. Looks good and cheeper than CF. They also do mid shaft housings for 175 USD inc bearings and seals. Google RHAAS products.
1.5 months to break the mounts that everyone raves about your backflips must be some extreme shit KB!! Those look like knoxies home made mounts..
Hey Steve, werent thay warrantying those cold fusion mounts that were breaking???? yeah i had some molds made and and had some urethane mounts like those molded up ....but they went rock hard after a few days.......the urethane moulder claimed it must have been wrong mix and did them again for me ...but same thing....then kinda lost interest....might try again at a different company.
you gotta done them in rubber knoxie we found 2 broken gp1200 mounts in taynes ski yesterday when we pulled the motor
