    Coolant loss 09RXT

    The last couple of times I went out riding my coolant reservoir would be empty at the end of the day. Inside the hull would be dry. No oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. Read several posts on coolant loss, one being a leaking head gasket when the engine warms up. (Worse fears) Decided...

    RXT IS shutting off when wake jumping

    Ok all GTX and RXT IS owners, why is it that every time I jump a wake my RXT shuts off and the dash lights up? I just push the start button and the ski fires right back up, but it is kind of an annoyance. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    2009 RXT IS melting exhaust

    Ventured into the 4 stroke world with the purchase of a 09RXT IS. Got for it $5000. Books for around $7400. The gel coat is a little faded and it needs a new seat cover, but overall it is in good shape with only 70hrs. I was thinking I could carry it over the winter and sell in the spring for a...

    First of all, if anyone has already done this then disregard.. Rebuilt the carbs on the Challenger 1800. After completing the task I cranked the engines and checked everything to make sure there were no leaks or if I had forgotten something. All good no problems so off to the lake. Got the...

    All DI Owners - Found good place to purchase injectors.

    So my RXDI runs good, but lately it has been a little harder to start. It takes two cranks rather than one and seems to be just a tick slower. So I did a pressure test and both the air and fuel pressures are spot on. Decided to just change the injectors. Looked them up on the parts fiche...

    I just put a new engine in my 96xp because the counter balance bearing on the mag side failed. (Sealed bearing?) After getting everything connected and bleeding the oil lines on the new engine I cranked it up and ran it on the hose for a couple minutes making sure everything was correct. I shut...
