Evening all..
Sorry for the late post, I tried a search and found a few threads but no real answers, the one thread that was similar to this issue even ended with a post asking if anything worked out.. Basically, the 96 feels really really strong, doesn't feel low on power whatsoever and the plugs always look good, the RAVE valves look and feel normal and are clean (5 hours since cleaning, 58 hours total on ski) and there's no visible leak on the water regulator
We had the 96 and 98 GSX out last Saturday, both ran flawlessly, on GPS the 98 hit 61 mph and the 96 hit 56 mph, which ought to be right on target, the 96 held up really well with the limited, even when it was showing only 6400 RPM
The 96 GSX launches hard, even outlaunched the 98 (which passes it pretty easily around 20-30 mph) but the digital and analog tach were showing around 6300 RPM, 6400 RPM peak
If the 96 is hitting 56 easily, at only '6400' RPM on extended WOT runs.. It really feels like the ski is running well, but it's not showing the actual engine RPM
My 97 GSX is currently down because the water regulator failed, which very clearly felt like there was an issue and showed 6200 RPM after 5 minutes of running .. The 96 doesn't FEEL like anything is wrong, it just never shows higher than 6400 RPM and the MPH and power is there but the RPM shows low
Is it possible the ski just isn't showing the right RPM?
