Stock RXP RPM?

[mickey78]

What should the RPM be on a stock RXP?
I ask because i can barely go over 7800 on almost flat water.

I have 13 hours on mine.

I know the oil level can make a difference, last year it was between the mark, this year its a little high (i had some remove today).

Should i be worried?

What are your conditions - i.e. air temp, water temp, humidity? Heat robs you of RPM. Also, check your wear ring. Damage to it can cause decreased RPM. 7800 in the summer is not out of the ordinary.

Best RPM's would be in the 8,000-8,100 area.........

not when temps are over 85F unless you have done some work to your intake

I have the same amount of hours on my 05 and it stops at 7800....i'm pretty sure the ecu is doing it....havnt had 10 hour yet....shops backed up....i'll see what happends after that.

I have an 05 never been to the stealer for any service. Last summer I was seeing 7800-7950 when the temps were 90-105. So far this year and once last (with temps below 80) I am seeing 8100-8150. I expect the rpms to drop come July and August. Earlier this year with a trashed wear ring I was only seeing 7800, so that is one thing to check because my rpms came back immediately after replacing it with a new wear ring.

ive seen 8300 just reving it up during flushing and 8150 easy on smooth water...

[mickey78]

excuse me, but what is a wear ring? could it be the culprit even at 13hours?

I thought limit was 8200?

Nah not wear ring....I've been riding in a clean lake and havnt started it near shore..i swim it out to way past where i cant touch. It pulls real hard up to 7800 and then just stops thats why i think its ecu. Its like its pegged there. Micky what year you got bro?

[mickey78]

i have same as you, its a 2005.
my friend also have a 2005, ill have to check with him to see if he can go past that...
