Buy an old one because they are dirt cheap on craigslist.

I rented some sit down yamaha wave runners a few weeks ago, first time and it was really fun. I notice the stand up ones are alot smaller, are they as fast?

[D.Adams]

I use to ride had a 96 650 Kawasaki and a 650 Kawasaki x2 amazing skee's. Had the pump bored out impeller - motor built - pipe and a ride plate on my stand up. My x2 was mostly stock just impeller and a 1" chop off the back.

That video posted is in my home town that's a fun event to go to those guys get fucking crazy.

Need any help pm me I know a lot about stand ups and know people to get hard to find parts.

[Chrischeezer]

haha... that shit looks pretty crazy.

But I never understood the stand ups?
I'm going to take a guess at this but.... the stand-up type you stand up on... there are no seat(s)
:coolugh:

[Chrischeezer]

some of them haul a*s power to weight ration their 3x lighter than sit downs and can do a 180 practically in one line.

that things clean, mine still has all the foam pads on the front and the sides. taking those off when i get new hydro turf. any recommendations for good turf at a decent price?

[D.Adams]

k.......................

Just rebuild it the kits are cheep through any local store i even thing autozona sells the makuni kits.

There are tille mods you can do to get more out. You can take the water box out gain a little more power but you run the risk of water getting in the motor on a tip over. I would do it once you became a better rider. Also look into getting a rite plate and a intake grate maybe a skat trak impeller that will also greatly help If your a big guy that 330 is going to have trouble hauling you around.


Here is a forum that im a member of. Lots of good people and willing to help you on most anything shit load of info to.

I hope this helps and remember keep a fire extinguisher on you at all times its a $50 ticket you dont need to pay.

i just signed up for both of them so ill be on that forum probably as much as i am on this one as long as this stand up doesnt give me to many problems

[Hellother]

But why? Jut sit like normal people lol

Bc submarining in stand ups is fun. And take skill to ride. and they are fucking awsome. don't knock it till you try it.

[pogstar]

I think I probably spend an equal number of hours fixing mine as I do riding it lol It's worth it though!

[iveexcaped3]

lol sounds like my dirtbike..... well it looks like a brand new ebox so i dont think that will be an issue, over the winter might just pull it out and rebuild the whole thing to learn more and have a fresh motor

[S14DB]

It's all about the SuperJet!

Isn't that the same for 240's haha

My parents just got a lake home so now I have been seriously considering purchasing one to fix up this winter since I'll will have a place to keep it. I like the sit downs but they in no way look as fun as the stand ups that you can do some crazy shit with.

[iveexcaped3]

Yeah but you can't complain about a js300 for less than $200

Their a lot of fun best low cost(so far) thing I've bought in a while

[Nissansota240]

For those of you that have one, what is a good recommendation on a stand up jet ski to purchase?

They are all decent for a newb. It's more how much work do you want to put into it. I like Yamaha but there is a lot of kawi fans out there too.

Buy some wetsuit shorts.

That or just make sure your shorts are tied tight lol

[OutlawLui]

fucking sweet , makes me wanna buy one

[S14DB]

Can still go up your shorts. Need the thickness to not get injured.

[iveexcaped3]

i was talking about the first timers common mistake and jetting their shorts off..... always funny when anyone does it lol

I have been riding stand up's for over 16 years and i do it every once and a while. sometimes i forget to re tie my shorts after a good fall. haven’t really rode in the last 3 years but that’s due to not owning one.









If i was to get one i would buy a SuperJet they just ride so much better than a kawisaki. We have some local companies that stuff 1200cc engines in these things and they scream. Shit just getting a the conversion plate to put a 650 engine into a js300 hull would be bad ass. But you can only push your pump to a certain level before it wont make you go any faster.

[iveexcaped3]

someone recommended swapping to a bn/sbn38 carb is it better or whats the difference?

[Otto347]

lol I have always wanted a stand up. Shit id throw $200 in for one and even if I got tired of it id just give it away. Not a bad deal OP

[iveexcaped3]

hell no my radiator was more expensive than this thing lol registration is only $30, so far one of the cheapest toys i bought lol

[adjumn]

good ! :) (https://www.xakep.me/)
