I would start by changing the plugs...
4-tec plugs NGK brand, DCPR8E Gap/ 0.7-0.8 MM or .028-.031in.
Chances are it just fouled a plug. To replace the plugs remove the Oil dipstick, remove the plastic cover over the engine, replace the dip stick. Unplug the wire from the spark plug coil ( it's part of the spark plug cap) wiggle and pull the cap/coil out of the spark hole. Be careful not to break it. Loosen the spark plug, insert the cap/coil in to grab the plug and remove it. Gap the new plug, remove the screw top on the top of the plug, insert it in the cap/coil push it in the plug hole. Use a socket to tighten it. Snug it up go about 1/4 turn, loosen and snug it up(this compress the seal ring on the bottom of the new spark plug). Put some grease on the coil cap where it meets the cylinder and insert on the plug. Connect the coil wire. Do one spark plug at a time. Replace the plastic cover. This should solve your problem.
Keep us posted.

Thanks,,, was the first thing I done,, but no joy,,I had the plugs out check gap and clean,,but stilll have a loss in revs will not go above 6k,
The ski was flying the other day the next a huge loss of power for no reason,
I even put a new set of plus in changed the filter and checked for spark at each plug and and all well,, even ran a comp check on each cyl,,,,all are fine but still the loss of power,,she would do 60mph no problem now can't get over 40,,, Im lost,,

Is it still under warranty? Is it displaying any beeps or indication of a "code". You might have to go to a dealer to have them put it on the B.U.D.S. system to figure out the problem.
Keep me posted.
