WatCon has found out that when you install a larger displacement engine on a Kawasaki X-2 like a 750 engine the ski feels down on power and in general it has a lazy feeling. After lots of testing, trial and error methods WatCon decided to fabricate a larger exhaust outlet since the oem one was too restrictive. The prototype model is pictured in this photo. This is a 2” X-2 exhaust flange mount and it makes the difference in the overall performance. Order yours from WatCon.

These sponsons are a first of its kind. JCRACING incorporated the rear sponson that includes a backing plate base sponson for added stability at high speeds with a mid sponson for unbeatable grip throughout the corner. This sponson is the best of both worlds; stable, yet will still turn on a dime when needed. Best of all, these sponsons are race legal per the IJSBA rulebook. The mid sponsons are welded to the base sponson to become one inseparable part.
