top speed for 1997 900 zxi?

[gtxscrider]

ill be purchasing a good condition 97 zxi with a 900 engine just wanted to knoe what mph to expect out of it stock? Also where would be a good place to purchase mods for that engine like reeds , carbs , props ,ride plates , that sort of thing also any info on how the hull performs would be great too thank you.

Also any reliability issues with this model? Sorta waiting on the Kawasaki 2 moker Gurus to Chime in.

I wouldnt do any speed mods , because if its any thing like the 1100 zxi , it will pitch you off with as little as a 2-3 mph speed increase........

mid 50's on GPS. Your wasting your money putting any mods into this ski also. I do recommend a rideplate to reduce porpoising, block off the oil pump and premix and just ride it. It will never run with today's musclecraft and has horrible handling but is a fun ski to just play around on.

Mid 50s is good enough for me on that ski all i want is to make it a little better then stock I dont need it to runs with the new musclecraft for that i have my gtx that will blow all away any stock musclecraft. Thank you guys for the replys.

Good move. Going from a ZXI to an Ultra 150 is night and day. An Ultra 150 is outdated compared to today's standards as well but IMO probably the most fun PWC to ever ride on, period.
