Actual description: In this video I do some porting on my 1100 Kawasaki Triple that lives in my Kawasaki X2. For a more in-depth look at the tool, feel free to check out this video. • VEVOR - Foredom Style ...
Good job, it looks great also it’s nice that you were able to keep from going way over the top with the port job. And further more I think there was a fish in the middle of the video?
Thanks ! It would be cool if it worked better. The exhaust porting is supposed to free up 6 hp, from what I’ve read. Haha. The fish is me making fun of the way I talk, and seeing if anyone would notice. It’s a Walleye fish , and instead of saying “while I” I say “walleye”.
Joel you are a humble bad ass!! Nice work bro on a tasteful port job! Clean and not overly radical, perfect IMO.
I personally think you should run your skelotonized flywheel cover! You keep your stuff so nice I highly doubt a random bolt will ever be rolling around your engine bay that could pose a problem!
Thanks Tim. Let's hope we get some great results out on the water !
That's a great idea with the skeletonised cover... With the zeeltronics all the ignition really rempeds on is the trigger coil... so all the stator will be doing is charging the battery. I plan on unwinding the exciter coil to get rid of some parasitic drag.
Good thinking... I'll have to powdercoat it ...
@Joel Arseneault I've never seen a skelotonized flywheel cover I don't think on anything! That will be pretty exciting I think to any motorhead seeing that! For that reason alone I hope you do it!
I feel inadequate in my skills again. Love your channel.
Thanks for the compliment, but no need to feel inadequate. The road to success is paved with failures, haha. Thanks for your comment !
That looks freaking awesome man! So excited to see that X2 blasting around this summer! Please please please let me know when you're heading out! Great video man. Good tips in there!
Oooh and say "Vevor Rotary flex tool" one more time! 😂
I'm pretty excited to get it all built up. Having the Zeeltronics CDI and some fresh porting should make a big difference. I will let you know, for sure. I'm exciting to see how your 550 works !
🤣... "Vevor rotary flex shaft tool" is stuck in your head now, isn't it.... I'm a great salesman. I'm afraid that eventually they are going to send me something that I can't recommend to people... Speaking of...
Guess what they are sending me this week ?! .... Give up ? OK... a welder, haha. Not the same as yours ... they call it a 3 in 1 but really it's a MIG that you can scratch start TIG and stick weld IF you have a stinger.... but hey, it's a free welder. They were supposed to send me a TIG, but things got messed up a little.
@@JoelArseneaultRUclips dude! A new welder! Fantastic! All this hard work saying "Vevor Rotary flex Tool" is really paying off! 😂😂
@@dustinwild I already have two welders... I was hoping to get one to keep in my truck ... but the one getting is a 240V and my generator is only 120, so that plan doesn't work. It will make for an interesting video... and hopefully it doesn't suck.
7:54 Changed me!
Lol. “Walleye”
I thought it was bass..
@@dustinwild Haha... nope ... Walleye was waiting for the epoxy to harden...
I just ordered one. thanks for the info.
Awesome. Best porting tool I have ever used, and it is good for lots of other things as well.
It will be cool to hear how well this all works!
As you would say “let’s hope it doesn’t suck” 😂
Excellent job.
Thanks !
im working on easter, while watching this video, its been a longtime bro, keep em coming
Hey man ! Too bad about working but I hope you're having a good day. Thanks for the comment and watching. I'm going to try to keep them coming.
Also.... You working on anything these days ?
@@JoelArseneaultRUclips my business has eaten all my time , but the best part about being my own boss, I control my workload, so ill make time in about a month , its in the 80s here now, time to ride
@@bmxbarron Right on. As long as you’re making money for your time off 👌
I ordered something using your code and link, hope your able to get a huge bonus
Haha... I'm curious as to what it was... I've seen a few purchased in the past few days.
Might have something to do with the thing I’m picking up today
@@Trevorkloida Tooooo many teasers !! haha.
Oh man sweet! Wonder how much you’ll gain from all that porting? Black and green is a great combo, but now you’ll have to do the bars, exhaust, water box… lol I got really far on my project but had a GoPro problem and lost all my footage… damn thing…
I use a GoPro, and I feel your pain. It has screwed me over so many times. Glad to hear you’re getting stuff done !
I should do the bars and stuff eh, haha. Once you get started you have to do everything. Doing the water box might be a nightmare as it will be full of oil haha.
For power, it have read that just a little porting on the exhaust will give an extra 6hp… but I didn’t go real aggressive… so I’d say in total 6-8 hp
oh yea, dont powder coat, ceramic coating dissipates heat way better...........i posted this before i finished watching the end
That would be cool, but I don't have any stuff for ceramic coating and I have all of the stuff for powder coating, haha.
What type of epoxy did you use? A link would be great!
I used squid boat epoxy ... but you don't need to use a specific brand. I have 3-4 different epoxies and used it because it's inexpensive (relatively) and doesn't have to be top quality. I mixed in some milled fibres to make it a little stronger (you don't need to) it also makes it a little thicker.
You could use JB weld or any type of epoxy, really, but JB Weld would be very expensive to fill this volume. All you really care about is filling the cavity, so that when you grind through, there's not a giant air pocket that makes the flow worse, instead of better. The area will be sealed by the gasket surface, and the epoxy won't really add any strength.
@@JoelArseneaultRUclips Awesome thank you!
What happens when you mix 2 powder colors together? I assume they don't mix like liquid and it looks interesting.
I’ve never don’t it with two different colors … just flat black and mat black, but I do totally want to try it with the black and green and see what happens.
You can... we've experimented around with this some and it works. In fact we even cleaned our airfilters from our powdercoating booth which used several different colors and used it on a special edition product, seriously!
@@AtimatikArmy Right on... I'll have to give it a go. So do the colors just mix, like blue and yellow make green ? or is it blotchy ?
@Joel Arseneault probably a good idea to make sure it's at least blended together well but they will mix. Our colors from our paint booth was mostly red and blue, then black, day-glo green, orange, & silver mostly. The combination came out to a really cool purple that had almost like a fine metal flake look to it up close from all the different particles. We called it Blurple and it was actually surprisingly cool looking. (I should add, at least that was my personal opinion of it!)
@@AtimatikArmy Haha... that sounds cool. Yeah... I can see it not always being the same depending on different powders, colors and whatnot.
You should powdercoat it while you can, would make it a nice look.
That’s a good point, and the conclusion I came to. Might as well do it now while it’s apart.
Walleye😂
🤣 🤟
As a long time viewer of yours, I'm hoping I can respectfully make a suggestion to you that you do not take the wrong way. I think it would be beneficial to your viewers to give your sponsor a short shout out in the video and then leave it alone.. I think you mentioned them about 38 times (not literally, but it was a lot lol). I enjoy the content though, thank you!
Thanks for your input, I do appreciate it. I will keep it in mind for the future.
There are a few reasons for the multiple shoutouts / mentions. Probably the biggest reason is that I'm genuinely amused by how all this came to be, I'm excited about the actual tool, and I'm excited what this could mean for my channels.
I'm excited that a company wants to work with me... This could convince other companies to do the same. I'm a pretty small channel and as such I'm not selling a large number of products for them. My over the top mentions goes a long way to convincing them to send me more stuff. They are sending me a welder this week, and it won't show up on this channel at all, I suspect.
My plan is to have most of the detailed promotional stuff on my other channel. It may turn out that my other channel, and funding from those tools is what keeps this channel alive, because I have lost money on it for the past 6 years.
@@JoelArseneaultRUclips that makes sense honestly and I'm glad that this company is hooking you up!
It seems that being a RUclips creator as a source of income can be challenging, especially in a small market like the jet ski community. Like I said though, I enjoy seeing your content and hope you keep at it! Excited to see what you do with that 997 KV engine haha. I just bought a Krash without an engine/pump and am putting all Yamaha components in it.
I'll have to check out your other channel, I haven't yet.. Not enough time in the day for everything 😂 thanks Joel!
@@240sxxxvids " Not enough time in the day for everything" that's the truth !
I am also excited about the KV997. I have big plans for it eventually, but I don't know how all that will work out. A Krash with Yamaha stuff should be dependable, if nothing else ! haha. That's a pretty cool project.
My other channel started out as a place to post extras, outtakes and random updates... and then it turned into a channel that could stand on its own. Not sure where it will go.
@@JoelArseneaultRUclips I kinda wished I could have tried out the 997. I have the feeling with a little porting, and going through it, they can be powerful and reliable. Unfortunately that was out of my budget. This should be a fun ski though. Starting out with a 61x 701 that I'm porting, and the usual bigger carb and b pipe. Just a 144 stock pump with a super cone/pump stuffer. It will get upgraded down the road with money and time allows. I gotta say though, krash definitely cut some corners on certain parts of the hull/components bolted to it.
@@240sxxxvids I'm really excited to try the 997... I have no idea what to expect, but I'm guessing it won't totally suck, haha.
I don't have any experience with Yamaha stuff as far as mods go, but the 701 seems to be a capable engine and with a few mods to free up power, there's no reason it shouldn't be a blast to ride. What were you riding before this ?
What sort of corner cutting components were used ? I'm curious.
