So I’ve been following along with @etemplet 96 Speedster restoration and his thread has spiked my excitement to start my own Seadoo boat project. I purchased this boat last fall so it’s time I start putting some work into it. I haven’t been this excited about a project since my HX project. We...

I’ve been thinking about making an offer on a 96XP, it’s in pretty rough shape. When I press the start button usually nothing happens unless I tap the starter with a rubber mallet. It barely turns the motor over at all. Does the fact that the starter turns at all when pressing the start button...

This is a 787 motor in a 96 XP. I noticed that on both sides of where the exhaust manifold bolts to cylinders it looks like there is room for another bolt. Is this correct or is something missing from this machine?

Good day, I’m replacing the front lower control arm bushing on my sons car today, I have the old bushing out but never thought ahead as to what I could use as a lubricant to ease the new bushing into the arm. The bushing has a steel outer race I will call it so it’s steel on steel into the arm...

I have this 99 Tigershark I purchased as a package deal. It has the Suzuki 640 engine. I knew the owner (Rick) that owned prior to the fellow I bought it off of, When Rick owned it last summer he was telling me he was driving it but that it had low compression in one cylinder. So I was just out...

Hi all, I’m just starting to do a little research on measuring the runout on crankshafts. Thought I would start by asking everyone here a few questions. I have a Fowler dual bore gauge, and I was wondering if there would be a stand with a base that I could buy that would turn this dual bore...

Hi guys, I need to replace the oil pan on my Mazda 2, It would seem that they don’t use a gasket, I’ve seen on a you tube video where Honda bond was used, I was going to use Threebond 1184. Do you guys see anything wrong with using it? Seen in the technical data that it sets up in 12 minutes and...

🤣OMG, I went and did it again. Bought 3 more pwc today, 94 XP, 95XP and a Tigershark, not sure of the year or model but it is the more desirable looking Tigershark in my opinion. Maybe a 770 Daytona, and 2 single trailers. May be years till I get looking at them but I will be looking for some...

Hello Seadoo forum, I have a 98 Seadoo Challenger that has one engine that won’t turn, I haven’t had a chance to look at it at all, could be the impeller but I’m suspecting it could have ingested water and the motor is seized. I seen 3 pwc one of which is a 95XP for very cheap, I haven’t been to...

Hello people, I’ve looked through every section of the manual that I think could possibly tell me the location of this fuse with no luck. Would someone be able to tell me where to find the 7.5amp fuse for the VTS on the 99 GSX RFI,

looking for advice and opinions. Should the water box be removed for winterizing? Or maybe just take the hose off between it and the tuned pipe? Wondering if the water that’s left in the water box, if left hooked up would cause condensation? And possible long term damage to the pistons and...

Hello, I was starting to winterize my seadoo’s today, when I went to start the 99 GSX RFI here was nothing, no beeps nothing, so I was worried. Put another battery in and it was good. I had been having some issues with it and low battery, so I tested the voltage while cranking and it went down...

I sold my first ever pwc the other day, my Wet Jet Kraze with Yamaha 701x . Took a compression reading and it was at 140 and 145, I’ve owned it since 2014 I believe, never let me down even once. I was sad to see it go, lol.

What a beautiful day, out for what was probably the last ride of the season, lucky enough to be able to share it with my brother in law Rick and my daughter Emma, Emma has been a Seadoo enthusiast for a few years now but today was the first time she drove one on her own and she did great,

So I had stopped in about 4 months ago to ask about a pair of 96 XP’s I seen at a mechanics, he wasn’t interested in selling them at that time, said he was going to fix up the one to drive. Drove by multiple times all summer and they were always sitting in his back compound so today I stopped...

I was just reading another post moments ago and I read that the MPEM from the 1997 GSX is a one of a kind. I have a 97 GSX in beautiful shape, works perfect but I seen another 97 posted with a trailer, motor is out and apart and he has another motor to go with it, apparently crank is bad in one...

Anyone changed the small oil lines on a 97 GSX? I’m wondering if it can be done with the carburetors off? From what I can see, there is absolutely no way I’m going to be able to change the one going to the PTO cylinder with the carburetors on, I wanted to change them out as I have a lady coming...

Anyone know of a good place to buy handle bar grips for a 97 GSX? And how to change them? Do they just go on with friction fit or is there a piece in the end of g handle bar th holds them on or do you use an adhesive?. Thank you

Hi, I have a 99 GSX RFI, not sure what the volts should be reading at the battery at idle? I tested and it was 13.2 to 13.3. The reason I tested was last time we were out we had to restart the machine 3 or 4 times due to boats coming in while we were leaving the no wake zone and battery got low...

Does anyone know what material the black plastic duel filler neck is made of on the 95 HX? From the research I’ve done I’m thinking it’s polypropylene. Polypropylene is apparently fairly ridgid unlike the polyethylene fuel tank. from what I read polypropylene is very resistant to fuel and oil as...
