Some history: Bought a used 2006 RXT, no issues disclosed to me other than the owner said at some point he had the supercharger rebuilt. Initial run had a problem with very low top speed and eventually overheated. Found and fixed that problem (heat exchanger and seal between it and hull)...

Hey all, I'm about to tear down the oil pumps on my 06RXT. Previous owner had the SC washers go and of course just had the SC rebuilt, i found metal shavings in oil filter and want to pull things apart to clean it out and fix what's needed. My hope is that i can get away with rebuilding the...

Hi everyone, Doing a bunch of stuff to my ski over the winter, an intake is on the list. The DIY kanaflex kits for sale are a bit expensive for what they are... but here in Canada I can only find the hose for like $37 CAD a foot which makes the kits look cheap lol. So I'm trying to figure...

So i have an 06 RXT that i just bought and have been going through the motions of fixing everything wrong with it. Biggest obvious problem was the ride plate was f*cked and poorly sealed to the hull after the last guy tried his duct tape repair. Result was failure to go over 30MPH and...

I've recently purchased a 2006 RXT 215 with roughly 165 hours on it. First time i drove it there was a problem with top speed and overheating which turned out to be the ride plate. Got a new one, Sealed it properly and it's been good to go. Top speed and RPM are reached. Something that's been...

Hey everyone, So I recently purchased a 2006 RXT 215. I finally had a chance to water test it and had a couple issues. First, it hits just over 8000 RPM, but the speedo was saying like 43 mph... seems slow. From my reading this likely isn't supercharger because I'm hitting 8K RPM. Can anyone...

Title says it but some history. Bought this ski years ago, used it a season or two with no problems. Then a couple years ago start having this problem where it intermittently won't crank. Seems that when you jiggle the wires on the rear E box it would then kick over and run. Dealt with that...

Hi All, This season my VTS module in my 97 GSX appears to have bit it. I found one on a local buy/sell platform from a 98SPX and picked it up today. I had assumed they were all the same but this one has 4 connectors, where my other one has 2. They have the same number of wires total (8) and...

My streak of luck continues... I just did the following to my ski as the last remaining things on my list to complete. rebuild starter rebuild jet pump - replace all bearings new rave valves new rave valve housings replaced RV cover with new(er) one New Plugs I haven't ran it this year before...

Don't know who all may care or not but I made a replacement part out of 3D printed ABS. My woes began when i went to install my pump nozzle and one bolt just spun.... Wouldn't catch on anything. That's when i realized there were caged nuts on the pump housing, part 15 When i reached back i...

So I got all new bearings for my jet pump from OSD and pressed them in. I put the impeller back on and torqued to 52 lbf as per the manual. But after doing that I can't spin the impeller by hand. Is that normal? Before i rebuilt it and the jet pump on the ski i was able to turn the engine by...

I've had one rave leak oil bad due due stem/housing wear. I've ordered two (OEM) valves and housings from OSD for this season. But it just dawned on me that my engine may be bored over, i bought the ski second hand. Is there any way to determine if i have to shave the raves without pulling the...

Dad cracked RH sponson this weekend... does anyone know other models/years that are direct bolt ups?

Launched a ski without the plugs in... A Buddy stood at the launch while i went and found parking. By the time i got back he's waving at me saying he thinks the ski is sinking. Place was so busy that i couldn't get it back to the ramp in time so motor ended up filled with water. Someone...

So the second ski i picked up came with an oil tank full of the old formula XPS synthetic (yellowish color). Is it ok to mix the new (red) oil? Just want to know if i have to purge the system when the time comes.

Ok so i picked up a second 97 GSX for my dad. Got it out this weekend and ran pretty good, took it out of the water and when i popped off the seat there was A LOT of water in the bilge. Being it was the first time we had it out i should have paid more attention and ridden it with the seat off...

looking to rebuild my OE starter using one of those cheap kits from online. Problem is I'm finding two that say they're for a GSX but in the application guides none of them actually say they're for a 97 GSX. The two part numbers from the pictures are SND9122 and SND9123. One is more expensive...

My gsx has the smooth rave valves and the housing with the bypass hole. Wondering if any members have a line on a decent used set with the updated design? I'm not coming up with much and a new OE set would cost about what I paid for the ski.

need to align my engine. Ideally looking to rent, but will buy if the price is right. will travel within reason.

So I have my crank case split at the moment and I'm cleaning everything for reassembly. I believe the two bolt sizes are M10x1.5 and M8x1.25, correct? When I went to run the bolts through a die to clean the threads the M8's run through as expected but the M10's seem to bind after a few turns...
