Hey folks!
An auction for a cheap running Kawasaki x2 jet ski is ending today that i might win. I picked the Kawasaki because the older ones are cheap and parts for them are dirt cheap. I also picked it because I wanted a stand up but also if I got tired and lazy I can sit on it too, its not the fastest ski in the water, but since this is my first ski, it should be good to go for at least the end of the season, then im thinking about doing a full rebuild with some typical 2 stroke improvements over the winter, like a high compression head, some small porting, and intake and exhaust improvements. so anyone else on here have one? do ya like it?

I have a 94 X2 that I would never part with! They are one of the funnest skis ever made! That and you actually get wet riding one unlike the new sitdown barges of today.

yeah for sure the new injected 2 strokes are the wave of the future... watch evinrudes youtube video of a Yamaha vs their e-tec same hp the Yamaha looses lol.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-7I00cZUE0 and i think its lake tahoe which used to ban all 2 strokes, now allows the e-tec, and runs them on their patrol boats lol sorry saw your signature and had to comment on it..
