@haknslash and others, where are the good deals on tune up stuff?

@d_coyne1984 Are the plugs you list good for a SX210 2010?

 

[DeadlyFrog]

Checked out Jetboat Pilot and there shipping costs are so high. Thanks for the link to Amazon on the MR1 oil kits.

I believe they are good for all of the 1.8l motors, but I can't say for the Mr1's or Tr1's.

The only thing about that oil change kit is, it comes with a smaller oil filter than the 1.8 boat kit. 3qt of oil may not be enough, but either is probably not an issue, especially if you are doing your oil changes regularly, the filter will do and you will always have some leftover oil sitting around.

Hey thanks for the catch! I will edit the posting for the right part.

I'm glad you guys realized I posted for the Mr1 kit before I had a punch of members pissed off at me so thank you.

Thanks guys! Orders all placed. It's been dang busy lately and I thought I'd harness the power of the board to save me some time.

Got a link?

Looks like they sold the last one, but keep an eye on this site:
http://stores.ebay.com/RIVA-Motorsports?_rdc=1

Every year Riva takes a few brand new Yamaha performance skis and soups them up even further. One of the upgrades they do is the intercooler so they swap out the stock SVHO for a better one and then sell the SVHO cooler in there ebay store for pennies on what a new one costs.

I'm not sure how much of a benefit this mod is going to have for us northern climate folk, but I will surely let everyone know what I think later this spring when I get it installed. Last year our water temps got up into the 80's so at that point I do expect it will help with heat soak. Removing the spark arrestor might be the best move for a boost for us northern guys and it doesn't have to cost you a damn thing.
