Thread: tuning 900zxi

See if slasher on here and bearded shark can help you out....

Just done a full rebuild on one with Bearded Shark with some tweaks..

Has great bottom and mid range , he is now looking at a Coffman's pipe to gain more top end ....

ok thanks guys. whare does bearded shark usually ride? me usually at point peron. would love to check his ride out! have riden toybreakers polaris (jeez that things got some poke!!!) would be great if i could get mine to perform like that! time to start playing with it and get more out of it.

Another racer is born!

he should be with the rest of us at the NArrows on Sunday for race day come on down introduce yourself and check it out their in action...

Hehe. Soooo.........another ZXi on board eh? This should be good. Kawicustom, I think I saw u on the water near palm beach as I drove past a few weeks ago. U had a passenger on the back. I ride at Crystals or narrows mostly but wherever the occasion takes me is where I go.

Slasher & I (mostly Slasher) drilled my jets out 2 sizes & tuned carbs but my motor aint stock. Port sizes r a lot larger for 1 thing. These things do hesitate down low.......I haven't been able 2 iron that out so far. It aint a carby thing, it has to do with the pump or water lines.

So I'm thinking, bottom end is hard to improve on without sacrificing top end unless u wanna do serious work. A prop change could b 1 way for improvement. But I took Mooka's advise & bored my reduction nozzle on my pump by 2mm & it made a couple of good differences, with only a 2 or 3 MPH loss of top end speed. U could make it go good down low & mid range then improve top end by makin it rev higher & harder.

Definitely come down Sunday if u can. U will know who I am at least, I'm the only clown there on a ZXi . What year is your ZXi? Is it the green/white/purple or the red/white/purple.

Have a look at this thread. There may be something in it that u could benefit from.

it's a good work-out

hi guys, thanks for the invite, i should be able to make it on sunday. i have the same prob with mine bearded - low end power/take off. i Got the ski 3 months ago from causeway. it had just had a fresh rebuild and new jet. checked it out and it had 115psi on all 3 cylinders ( thats a good start i thought). its got worx sponsons, r&d intake and solas prop. handles like a dream! I just want more power and acceleration. i pulled the oil injection off tonight. will give it a run down palmy tomos and see what difference that makes (will run it at 50-1) i will try and make an adaptor plate at work some time very soon so i can ditch the air filter box and replace it with 3 K&N's. Hey toybreaker (darren?), i sold the stand up 4 weeks ago so only the 1 ski now i also got a helmet last week so that i can race i just need to mod mine up a bit so i dont look like a plum on a slow arse ski going round the track!!!

I looked at that ski 20 times. Ended up goin over east for a cheaper 1 with less hrs. It will certainly be interesting racing you .

It wasn't you I saw @ palm beach then. The 1 I saw was same colour as mine.

Mate I could tell u all the pitfalls u r likely 2 run into both on & off the race track but that'd be helping the oposition now wouldn't it? . Only kidding, I'll help ya where I can.

I've had the same idea about the air cleaner. There r a couple of tricks u can do to the stock box in the mean time. I'll show u on sunday.
