We are almost the same. I love keeping all my skis original. Where we differ is.. I upgrade all my controls. Bars, grips and throttle. I like to sit more forward on my skis. I find i get better ergo's with newer 4 degree'ish bars. Oem grips seem to be too stiff. I like a soft compound. I also like a thinner finger throttle. Rest of the ski stays stock and polished! Keep up the great work! Love that you're saving these gems!
Nice man, to be honest I have a number of buddies who run OEM plus on the bars... I think as long as you keep hold of the original controls and bars (not throw them like some do) then go for it dude. Sometimes I think to myself how good would the GSX, XP etc would be with the Yam style throttle but for me at least, I then think there is a skill to riding them stock... thumb pump and all lol. Its also a nice comparison riding Yam vs Seadoo for this reason. Thanks for watching dude 🙌
Thank you dude, appreciate your kind words… all in good time, organic growth takes time… I also thinks it’s because I post once a week and frequency is a big deal for TH-cam algorithm…hope to up number of videos per week at some stage but I’m a perfectionist with filming, editing…I now have one more sub though…thanks dude 🙏
Hey buddy how does the new oem feel? Is a like a soft rubber? My oem ones are obviously old and they almost feel like a hard plastic and not rubber. Is that how your old one felt too? And is new one a much better rubbery grip? Thanks and great video! Ski looks great 👍 I have the same one. Scored it for only 1200$ with a great trailer and the thing is mint. Was meticulously maintained! Absolutely love it
Great questions dude, this is the kind of things I nerd out on also 😂 ok so the new OEM grip was actually old stock…I had the last one of a dude that had old parts from the 90s believe it or not… so it’s the hard rubber…it feels pretty similar the the other OEM one that was on there apart from the dimples are less worn away… hope this helps… great result on finding your raider, that is a steal!! 👌 enjoy it mate, thanks for watching and supporting 🤝
Not 100% sure in all honestly... I would have thought you should be able to take it apart? can you not get the trigger out? or are you talking about the the rear pump side?

How do you not have thousands and thousands of subs? Great editing for the videos, great audio, and very informative and knowledgeable.

What a great find!!!
I know right! I was so surprised, easiest part I have ever found lol
Nice job! So hard to to find OEM parts for these skis.
Thanks man 👌 I was surprised to have find one so easily 🤣
Ill add. I keep the original stuff stored in my garage. For resale.. If ever. lol
Good man, good thinking...just not the resale bit (keep them 😂)

So I have a 95 and mine trim system handle is broken and possibly locked up don’t wanna wrench on it to much but is it a easy motion?
