Great work! This video needs to be watched by all surf riders
Thanks Jared! Happy you enjoyed it! It get us pumped to make more.
Bought a second ski with leaky flap scupper and I bought a versiplug to replace it. Now I'm gonna seal it up shut. Great video man 👌
Glad you liked it!! In the surf we try to play it safe and keep our skis as sealed as possible 🤘
Awesome! Let’s do mine next!
Yesssss!! The story of the SJ that’s been in competition in America and Japan! 🤘
Awesome video. Loved the scupper explanation. I tell people the same thing, after my ski sank with one. Great mods to your superjets.
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! I forgot to mention the tubbies! 😂 next video! 🤙
So good, dude! I couldn’t help but to laugh at how many more things are bad about my setup than I even realized. It’s no wonder why I can’t keep the damn thing running ;)
You’re doing great! Give us a call anytime!
I met your parents out in Ne this weekend and can’t wait to see another Superjet on there trailer. It was crazy because I had seen your videos before when they said you where there son. I own 4 Superjet a and an FX1 so I give them crap about the Kawasaki’s when I see them.
I heard the story yesterday! I was telling Stu about it last night. Crazy! I’m slowly converting them to Superjets. They started with two SXR’s and soon they will have two Superjets!! 😎😎😎 Hope I can meet you guys someday when I’m visiting Nebraska!
@@RSKI We are out about every weekend so just let me know!
I’m going to start adding to RSKI Instagram story when I’m traveling. People all over the world have mentioned riding together and it’s so awesome!!
Dude let’s hang out in pismo this March! Come find me in a white highlander, Michigan plates with a fixedsteer sj. Excellent wisdom in this video, I had to share with my noob friends who keep wanting to run scuppers and don’t understand basic physics. 😅
Thanks for the kind words! I’ve actually never ridden Pismo but it would be nice to someday. Hope we can make it happen!
Great job on the ski and vid brother!! I still have lots of upgrades I need to do to my sj at some point so this video is super helpful. Also, love my rski handlebar pad, thing has saved my knees so many times 😂
Thanks for the support!! Send pics as you progress with the upgrades! 🤙
great video, got keep it for future mods on my jet ski
Thank you! 🤘
Nice video and tip. Good for new people on sport. Question what year is your Superjet and what motor you use?
I think it’s a 2001 Superjet if I remember right. It has the original 701cc engine. Never rebuilt.
Very nice video and Ski! About the scupper. You explain is right but why Top ski build for Freerider like Krash and other use scupper valves?
Thank you! Scupper is nice for certain applications, but for riding surf in Oregon I would never use a scupper. I had several before and it causes a lot of problems.
I love the 'L" fiberglass hood reinforcement, did you make a wood mold first and then lay up the fiberglass? can you do a small explanation video on that? I would love to make one for myself.
Actually a friend of ours made the hood lip reinforcement pieces a few years ago and since then he’s gotten completely out of the industry. He made the mold off of a Superjet hull but were not sure exactly how he did it. It’s a pretty simple final part though and I think you can do it! Just keep it as close to the hood opening as possible trying not to make the hood opening much smaller than it is now, if the hood lip takes up too much space it will be difficult to get the fuel tank and engine installed. Each one of our hood lips are a little different, but personally I prefer the shorter ones that stick up about one inch above the hull. The taller ones tend to be a little more flimsy. And when you rivet them into place 3/16 stainless rivets with backing washers are the strongest and most resistant to corrosion if you’re in salt water.
@@RSKI Thank you for the response! great tips, I think ill give it a go and see what I can do. I have an A/M hood too so its going to have to be a custom thing anyway. Its def a great idea though.
@@xsean35x Give us an update on how it turns out! It definitely makes the sides of the hull a little stiffer and helps hold the hood in place so well!
Awesome build man can’t wait to see the new ski, where did you get the hood lip seal??
Thank you! The fiberglass piece? We made it and riveted it in place. 😎
@@RSKI killer touch!
🤘🤘
Did you ever make a video for the new hull setup? I’d like to know what ride plate you guys are using
The four stroke? I’ve never ridden one. On our skis we have a custom ride plate made of fiberglass. It’s short and has a D cut.
Great video. I live in Medford Oregon and building a ski for the surf but not sure where to go as I never see anyone on jet skis around here. What’s some good places to go if you don’t mind me asking?
Pacific City! There are some guys riding in southern Oregon though. Hit us up on RSKI instagram and we can connect you to them.
I'm nearly finished building my SJ for surf riding, but was curious if you do anything to the wiring to keep corrosion out of the connectors. Mainly I'm talking about the start button wiring.
Maybe it's not an issue, but my 650sx constantly had corroded bullet connectors, so I'm extra paranoid.
All of the oem Yamaha electrical connectors are excellent and should never have water intrusion. We always add some dielectric grease too. The start stop switch from Yamaha is also excellent.
@@RSKI thanks for setting my mind at ease 😁
Great video and info on functional NOT JUST BLING mods.. Did you reinforce the tray walls after thinning them and taking out all the foam.. How they holding up... What did you do to build up the front padding of the ski to wedge your front foot..I'm looking at doing something like that but hedgehog worked out how I want to build it up
We made fiberglass buckets, riveting and glassing them into place. We used two part foam to fill all voids, so they’re very strong. They might not be as strong as original, but when we cut out the tray area, we reinforced the bottom deck to the top deck. So that helped a lot using big sheets of fiberglass. Then re-foam.
I’m running a little less freeplay on the throttle I think it feels way more positive
If it feels good at full throttle then you’re good to go!!
How much to fix my handle pole? My friend broke it second time out ( last weekend) 😢
We have a video coming on how to repair it!
Did you have to grind some of the oem flame arrestor off to fit the Ada head?
Ya, actually quit a bit. Then we use epoxy to fill the hole because you have to grind all the way through the plastic. Kind of sucks, but I used packing tape to hold the shape and fill with epoxy. Stu just fiberglassed his and it was much easier. Both worked.
where do your hood straps mount to at the front of the ski?
Check out Instagram story @rskiriders I’ll go add a photo showing the location right now.
@@RSKI thank you ill go check it out now.
Where in OR?? I'm in coos bay and I wanna get into riding but don't know anyone yet
We ride pacific city usually
Hit us up on IG if you’re in the Portland area, we’ll ride with you 😁
how do you set your handlebar location?
The location of the handlebar is determined by the length of the handle pole, the configuration of your steering system, and the mounting location of your handle pole bracket. It’s common to get an Over the pívot steering to shorten it, or cut the handle pole shorter to move the handlebar location forward.
@@RSKI sweet thanks!! if you did a video of setting one up i would not mind hahah i feel like mine is way too long!
That’s a common problem! For surf skis we want the grips to be in line with the hood latch. We’re working on more videos! Thanks for the idea!
Wonder how the new superjet would do in the surf don’t have the balls to ride mine in the surf
You’ll never know until you try! Everything breaks eventually!
Did you print that thing in tpu
Yes, I used a type of TPU for the flexible plug thing on the bilge outlet. 😎
On the strap you put the rope through for the pole im thinking about 3d printing electric supercharger for my 701
Yamaha 63n motor heard of it
How did you 2 meet
We actually met on the beach in Pacific City riding Jetskis!
