    So good ! One of the best (or THE best) and „non sponsored“ video ! It is perfect to see onboard footage after every upgrade you did !!
    Did you track your speed with your phone ?

      I hope there are more videos like this coming ! To hear your opinion on the differences between some Jetskis in a buoy course would be great. As I have seen you have ridden some different skis !

    Love to see you back, been a long time subscriber from back when you were building the krash ski! Interesting to see the grate pick you up some MPH.
    Also what do you think of the 4 stroke? Does it feel as snappy?

    • @ChixLife
      @ChixLife  2 года назад

      Love the 4 stroke, way more low end power and keeps pulling up top. As far as 4 stroke engines go though the TR1 is fairly gutless. Still more umph than the 2 stroke.

    My WCOT grate was a 1 mph loss compared to the stock grate. It was worth it though.

      @@number817 not doubting, just curious the super varied differences. I weigh 160lbs and it most definitely went faster, same as with Travis and his son's Superjet. I believe Kirt chaged the design a bit from the early ones...but that might be BS. We're at sea level too.

    Are you getting any pump cavitation on hard turns with the wcot. That’s what I’m getting, thinking about the watcon or wax grate. Thanks

    • @ChixLife
      @ChixLife  Год назад

      That's just the SJ's pump tunnel, not much is going to fix that.

    So helpful! Two of my issues with my 2021 SJ. Going to go ahead and pull the trigger on a Riva Racing grate because it has one foil. Can't make up my mind on going with Riva ride plate ($250) or Riva sponsor ($150), any advice?

    my stock sj gets a bit sketchy at full speed, did either of these parts make it feel more stable at WOT?

    • @ChixLife
      @ChixLife  2 года назад +1

      Yes for sure, actually shot a choppy lake test today and it was much better. Though, the best non-sketch at speed will probably front sponsons. We have some waiting to be installed and tested 😎

    Was the issue actually cavitation or was it aeration?

    • @ChixLife
      @ChixLife  2 года назад

      I'm using the term colloquially, but from my basic understanding (and I'm obviously not a hydrodynamic scientist lol) cavitation is the likely correct term. Sure the water entering the pump might have air bubbles in it, but it not being a sealed hydraulic system where these terms are more often used the difference in pressures from the loss of water entering the pump and how much it is trying to force out causes the cavitation. Or so it has been explained to me 😉
