My wife thinks I've lost my mind!

My wife thinks Ive gone totally crazy and the dogs look'n at me funny too.
Tuesday I decided to start a few simple modifications to th '09 FZS. one thing led to another, and now Ive got chit strung out all over my garage.
So far this is what I've done:
Removed foam inserts and opened up cowlings.
Removed intake manifold for ribbon delete and R&D upgrade.
removed ride plate for inbound VX plate Moded by Jim.
removed pump so I can tweek prop to a 13/23 and install fitting on strainer
Removed intake grate for inbound R&D Aquavein
removed pump liner at the same time so I could can install thru-hull fitting for cooling upgrade.
Removed OEM air box and installed Yoyamma's cheap air upgrade
Removed and blocked off upper resonator and cut back tube to lower box ( free flow without the noise)
Removed reverse bucket and steering nozzle from reducing nozzle so I can use my nozzle with the gay spray spout removed.
Found a good mounting spot for the Powershot

The wife would'nt normaly think twice about me working on the Waverunner, except for the fact that I HAVE NOT EVEN RIDDEN THE SKI YET

Mabey I am nuts, but I'm enjoying wrenchin' on it and Boy am I looking forward to riding it!!!

Not nuts at all. I like wrenching more than I do riding

I love that red FZS

Those bunks on your trailer are awfully short

i don't know if you caught this but you need a bigger trailer or find a way to move your "ski hitch" up.


my trailor came adjustable from the dealer but i really advise you go back and check things out. The way your ski is Hangin off will stress them boards and it's a hazard for long trips as well.

Other than that, YOUR DOIN GREAT
WITH THE MODS and choice of ski. Seadoo Rxp-X was my choice and no looking back!

Ha! yep, that is actually my buddys trailer, I just used it to pick up the ski from the dealer. shows how much longer th FZs are then the old XLs
I have a two place that wasnt convieniant to get to at the time.

Great job with the mods but I'm not sure how much pitching the prop to a 13/23 is going to help. I would personally go with a 15/23. Opening up the leading edge helps a lot with the stock prop.

I'll do that, Thanks Mike
