Re: 1988 wr500g

it's a 500cc engine, with a very small jet pump - there's not much you can do to it to get more out of it.

even if you did an engine swap for a 650, the small pump is going to hinder performance.

the pump is what "pushes" the water out the back of the ski to propel it.

no, you can't easily put a larger pump in.

It could probably be done - but it would cost more than the ski is worth.
