2012 RXT-X: RPM's fluctuation/revving in Sport mode and speed limited to 35-40 MPH

[cgiunta16]

Hello,

I have a 2012 RXT-X with 92 hours. During the first run of the season, the RPM's were fluctuating and revving badly in sport mode and it would only top out at 35-40 MPH. It almost felt like is was stuck in ECO mode but the dash clearly showed it was in Sport Mode. My first thought was I sucked something up in the grate/jet but I took the ski out of the water and it was all clear.

One important fact. I had service done at an authorized Sea-Doo service center in the winter time so it sat for five month before use. I do this every year. I suspected they had screwed something up i.e. bad plug, lose plug wire etc. They are looking at the ski now but can't find anything wrong with it - at least from the computers point of view. They're going to do some more tests today by placing the ski in a tub of water.

Has anyone seen this with their PWC? Any thoughts of what it could be?

Thanks in advance!

Chris

I'm betting there's a SuperCharger rebuild in your near future.

Oh boy! Not good! If it turns out to be, I'm glad it's still under warranty.

SuperCharger rebuilds are not warranty covered maintenance. On your model, it has to be done every 100 hours or two years. If you can figure out how to pull the SC yourself, you can send it in for rebuild with PWCMuscle and save yourself a LOT of money.

Check the auto-link above for the service. They have an awesome reputation here.
