Re: Looking at 94 kawi 750 xi. What to look for.
Ditto the above. Look inside at the hull, around the front metal piece that holds the fire extinguisher. Mine flexed a lot around that area, so much so that it eventually formed a 3' long split there. That's how I got it for free (from a relative).
Around the intake seems pretty stout to me. I always heard of them flexing too much in the front.
Oh, and my trim was missing - I guess it didn't work. It's locked in place to not move.
The other models, w/ the same hull and engine, don't have trim. You won't miss it much, but if it doesn't work, you might be able to talk down on the price.
This model (and most other Kawi's I've read about) start hard (after sitting a few days) since they have no primer. I have to remove the flame arrestors, squirt some 2-stroke mix down there, and she'll fire right up. After that, she'll start right immediately for the rest of the day.
We took mine out yesterday, might go again today. I clocked 44 on the GPS on mine. It's all stock, minus the aftermarket flame arrestors.
I also removed my oil injector. VERY easy to do, and runs fine on 50:1 mix. Before that was done, oil would pool at the bottom of the crankcase. When the crankcase valve was opened, oil would flow into the bottom of the hull. Seemed like something wasn't right there.
Oh, and my gauges work sporadically.
