Looks great!! I literally just purchased all the parts! Have you thought about anything to do on the hole? I was thinking a black acrylic sheet cut to that size but im not sure how to attach it
@carlosalarcon5175 the riva kit is an aluminum plate snap tabs on the back kinda like a hub cap. I was planning on going to the hardware store and trying to build something, i just never got around to it yet. Ive been riding it as is with no issues it doesnt really bother me. I get plenty of compliments out on the water, no one has said anything about the hole.
ODI makes a set of end caps that bolt into the end of the factory bars, then the grips clamp nicely to them. They are standard 7/8" bars so make sure you got the 7/8" size grips and not 1." If theyre still looses you may just need to glue them or put a shim under them (like a sliver of a coke can)
Junk. Waste of money. One is completely broken and the other i use as a portable speaker sometimes but its nothing compared to a decent JBL. They basically tacked them on and forced me to buy them. It was a weird altercation with the saleswoman and i eventually caved. She threatened to not sell me the whole ski without them. Because there was a waitlist.
Great,in theory thats all good only if you don't use turntables under front tires all your calculations are WRONG truck has not settled down as driven on road.
Put 30k miles on it no tire wear. Sold the truck though. I have 4 other vehicles algned the same way driven by me and my wife every day. Like i said in the video, just take it to the shop if you don't want to do it this way, thanks for the reply though!
It is there because it acts as a "flame arrestor." They are required on all boats in the US basically as a leftover law from a bygone era when boats were carbureted.... Carburetors have a tendency to back fire out of the intake and this can be a fire hazzard for boats... however with modern fuel injected, computer controlled engines, this doesn't happen, however the law still applies.... so you are at most violating an emissions law pertaining to boats. But the possibility of you getting caught doing it is basically zero, i cant imagine anyome would be taking off your intake manifold to inspect it... but if you are concerned about it, they do sell aftermarket air filters that are basically a metal mesh designed for boats to meet the flame arrestor requirement and if you watch my other video on the inake/ccv mod, i explain it a little more in that video.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Thank you for taking the time to respond. This is extremely helpful to know, and makes me much more inclined to do this mod now that I know that it has to do with emissions laws rather than an actual danger risk to the engine somehow.
This effectively is the exact same setup as any other aftermarket free flow exhaust. Neither of which changes the principle of why water doesn't backflow into the engine, because water won't flow uphill.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy thanks, but water will go rise in level if there is back pressure. I am concerned about flooding the engine if my ski has to be towed. I know this is off topic from your video, which I enjoyed. I was here trying to learn about the exhaust system. Thanks again.
@jstone1211 towing or stationary, it wont change the fact that the ski wont sink. It has nothing to do with back pressure keeping the water out... think of it as setting a pool noodle with one end in a pool and the other end on the pool deck, water wont magically move uphill without a vacuum drawing it out. Since the engine is above the water line, there is also no possibility of siphoning... your question has a lot to do with fluid dynamics, however i can assure you, this modification will have absolutely zero impact on the ability of water to enter the engine.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy thanks for your reply. I am staying stock for now as I am new to Jet Skis. I did look at the exhaust on my waverunner. seems like water could be pushed up into the water tank in the system. again thank you for your reply.
been wondering why people dont just do this instead of the Riva kit, remove the flame arrestor element and put it back together... easy. Thanks your video explained why there was a need for the replacement flange on their kit that i couldn't figure out
Thanks for the video! I am thinking about doing this to my gp1800r, however, I am wondering how well has the silicone elbow worked? I realized most of the silicone pipings are rated for about 200celcius, I am worried if the exhaust gas will get too hot for it?
The exhaust is mixed with water from the water box, so in theory, it cant get any hotter than the boiling point of water of 100c.... mine held up just fine for over 100 hours before i switched to a thru hull exhaust for no reason other than me wanting it.
You are the only one on the entire internet who managed to drill and destroy this ribbon filter vs gently sliding it out, and not removing manifold....
Yeah 2021 plus there is no way that thing is pulling out, now if you drill that outer plastic part out with the kit, sure. But if you don’t want to buy that kit this guy is doing fine. You should have seen mine, I drilled like 20 holes hahah
You didn't need to do all that. The first hole should have been the right size drill bit so that you could immediately screw a small slide hammer for pulling dents out of cars. Auto zone and others sell this slide hammer. It would have popped right out after screwing into the hole you made with the sheet metal screw tip on the slide hammer and a couple slaps with the weight the ribbon would have popped out clean with no more drilling or metal debris created. I want to do this to my 2020. But I cannot get anyone to tell me that their skin improved performance after doing this. If the ribbon is that restrictive, it's got to make more power...or maybe it actually doesn't became of some physics reason.
The common conception is that you will get increased airflow through the intake.... The main reason I personally did this mod, i meantioned in the video. There is a possibility for the ribbon itself to come out of its position and get sucked into the intake... the ribbon itself isnt big enough to do any harm but the rubber gasket can. The rubber gasket can get sucked into an intake valve and bend the valve. Under warrenty this isnt an issue, but if you're going to modify your ski and void the warrenty in the first place, its good insurance for future bigger mods. But probably a negligible performance increase.
In theory this may be useful for the HO versions since there is no forced air induction...I wonder if the 2022 skis built for export are still fitting these?
It came with the "audio package" from yamaha but it was completely pointless. It was just 2 shitty waterproof Bluetooth rechargeable speakers and mounts. Terrible speakers, no bass, could hear them over 20mph and one of them stopped working in 2 weeks so i just took them off. No speakers on it now
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Thanks. I removed all the screws and all the straps below the manifold. How much force you need to apply to make the plastic manifold loose. ? I found it to hard, like is not loosened at all
@@2SHARP4UIQ150 it should nearly fall off with no force... you most likely have some bolts left in it. There are 2 bolts down at thr very bottom on either corner of the manifold. They are the same size as the ones that go all along the intake ports (in the fuel rail area)
Hi did it cause any issues with water levels as I see you have now changed to the worx through hull which goes up higher inside the hull under the seat before dropping back down to exit?
Did you run into any problems when you did it or was it a job that you do and you get up and go is there anything to it that I would need to know as you can see in my profile picture I have a 2014 Yamaha FZS SVHO and I really wanna do this instead of buying the Riva kit But I wanna make sure it’s a get up and go type of thing
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy What were the other mods that you did right now a couple of mods my ski has without listing everything is a blow of valve, stage 3 Riva tune, Riva engine breather kit, Riva Cold air intake,
HEY GP! I have a 1996 Yamaha Wave Raider 1100! Useully runs great! But it stalled twice on me out there....installed new Start/Stop Switch Box & new Starter Solenoid! When I jump the Solenoid terminals it cranks over fine! Nothing when I hit the Green Start Button!!! There in No Power to the White Start/Stop Connector comming from the CDI Box!!! Any idea's?
I used your flame arrestor, crank case vent idea and engine cone filter but did go with a name brand exhaust delete. 10 hours on mods and zero issue thanks! Also feel a difference in pick up and top speed for cheap.
