[bighvygsx]

first time on a jetski. bought 99 gsx rfi and had to rebuild top end. just finnished breakin and was wondering what idle speed should be? my idles around 2200-2400 rpms. is this normal?

I was told 3000 out of water & 1500 in the water, I turned mine back a little so it doesn't move so fast when I get close to docks

:agree: David's right, just make sure you adjust it with the Idle screw on the carbs and not the Low Speed Screw.

Best to adjust it in water since no load will throw off your settings. Personally I idle it down (in water)till the engine runs rough then bring it back up till it runs smooth. I like them to be as slow as possible since this helps eliminate dock banging. Could be closer to 11-1200 if done this way, just depends on the ski.
