Hey all, I've recently had ago on a Kawasaki 650, then after watching alot of ur vidz online and now being inspired I desperately want one! Funny that... But before I go out n buy a ski if u guys could give me any heads up on stuff to lookout for when buying. Obviously compression test is a must but what other major things can I do and lookout for?? Was thinking Kawasaki 750 for first ski?? I realise free riding isn't a over night thing but I'm willing to put in some hours n get the basics right and then go from there. Any advice is appreciated.
Welcome. Free riding is great fun. 90 % of the people that free ride are on a Yamaha Super jet. The rest have aftermarket hulls and run yamaha engines etc. The 750 kawkers are not the most reliabe skis for in the surf. You should be able to pick up a square nose superjet rather cheap. Or around 6 k for a reliable second hand round nose. Good luck and hope to see you on the water soon.
Welcome to dalusion, there is a couple of guys ripping down your way. Start your freeride career with a Yamaha
Cool looks like yammy it is then!! Yeah i gotta a mate i can ride with but alwayz keen to meet more pplz. Cheers guys. So who selling me one then?? :-D There is stuff all on trademe! Lol Would it be cheaper to import??
There's an '03 superjet on trademe atm for 4.5k which seems like not a bad deal. I would post the link but my phones being shit.
Welcome dude, glad to have another rider join up! As for that 03, its sold. But yes, go for a Yamaha perfurable with foot holds. The rest you can upgrade as you like. An aftermarket exhause called a "B pipe" is the shiz. Most people run one and they make a huge diffrence to the power/response to throttle. Ill have a round nose super jet up for sale and it has all the shit you need to get started. Just need to fix the charging problem and intake grate... (looking at you norm)
Robstyle thought the same. It's been on my watchlist there another 2011 for 8.2k looks tidy ill keep an eye on trademe. Steve K-B ill flick u n email man.
