It really is stuck on 7400rpm. Hopefully another owner of the same ski will chime in and give you some numbers so you can compare.

Wow! What a detailed story of a very bad dealer. Thank you for letting everyone know as it just may save someone else in the FL Keys area from extra dealership misery.

Yes, it is self draining. My skis and my boat endured the same frigid, "Texartica" weather. Thankfully I and my next door neighbor decided to drain the water out of our inboard boat engines. We...

FLASalt, bummer to hear that your ski didn't pick up any speed after the 10-hour break in. I think that the suggestions posted above are excellent pieces of advice. I'm always amazed at how...

I also agree with Steve. Replace the old oil hoses with new and use good clamps like Oetiker clamps.

I bought these pliers to pinch the Oetiker pinch clamps: ...

FLASalt, did you pass 10 hrs and get the ski back out on the water?

I'm amazed at how often a simple spark plug change seems to fix these 4-stroke Yamahas.

Jebbers, did you ever get around to changing your ski's spark plugs?

I'm with Myself on this one.

Oh! That's not good. I'm sorry that happened to you but thank you for warning everyone.

Are you looking for a boat cover or a PWC cover?

I can't help you with boat covers but I do have a good recommendation if you need a cover for your ski.

Many people have had good results with changing the plugs on these 1.8L engines. Inexpensive and easy to do. I'd certainly try that first.

K447 knows his stuff and is a wealth of information if...

Awesome information, guys! It gives me a lot to think about and I really appreciate it. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!

Thank you, K447 and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!! What about a regular, non power valve Yamaha 1200 like I have in my 1997 GP1200? It seems relatively straightforward. Thank the Good Lord that I haven't had to dig into the...

Right now I'm not planning on any mods. Once I get beat by someone with mods and I may want to start modding! I have 93 octane fuel available.

If I'm not mistaken, I can do all the tuning I want...

Hmmmm. I really don't want to have to send away my ecu but that's a lot less money.

I just want to make absolutely sure that this is what I want to buy. For now, I'd like to just remove the rev limiter off of my 2019 GP1800R and get speeds in the mid 70s with no other...

Well looky there! I've got one of them pictured in my avatar!

I'm with WFO! I have three Garmin Foretrex 201s. They're wrist mounted and very easy to use and look at while at speed. I love them.

Spooling, did you ever get around to doing this? If so, what did you find?

Bill, thank you for all of that very detailed information. There is so much there that I read it one time and had to come back to it and read it again. My take away is that a vacuum leak is what...

I'm going to call you out on this and have you tell us what the problem is. Not trying to be mean or unfriendly and I apologize if it sounds that way over the internet. I've seen this phrase before...

Why are you going to do this? This will change your pop off pressure and will not solve your having to tear the carburetors back down each time to start the engine.

Your needle valves should not...

It seems like most of these skis get some water in them but a few stay very dry.

I have a 2013 VXR that doesn't get a drop of water in it after any ride. My 2019 GP1800R gets a very small amount...

I concur with everything that Steve just posted. The Yamaha oil systems are extremely reliable except for the hoses.

Here is another plus for staying oil injected: you use less oil. If your ski...
