Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Hate Sea Doos,hate to ask here ,but my wife's best friend just bought an 04 RXP with 30 hours on it. The oil light came on,she dumped maybe a quart and a half of 2 cycle Yamaha oil in it,then realized it is a 4-stroke. Her husband is in a panic, wants to drain it out and refill with 4 stroke oil, they want my advice,but I haven't messed with PWC's in years. My gut feeling is it will be OK,what do yall think? :p

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Id drain it ..they only hold a quart or two.. refill with synthetic and not worry :drink:

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Definitely drain it. You should only use the XPS II 4-stroke Bombardier oil in that ski. If she didn't run it with the 2-stroke oil you should be OK. If she did, I'd take it to a dealer...

Robert,
Give me a call tomorrow and i will let you talk to the seadoo tech at the shop and he can give you some info.

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

BobbyB,e-mail a phone #please. I can't believe I'm in this,but she is my wife's best friend and the local SeaDoo dealer is a prick,he might get to it in August,so It's up to me to help out. Thanks,Robert

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

as a cert sea doo tech ( worked for the dealer for 6 yrs ) DOO NOT RUN IT.........


Great unit have fun with it

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Going by the SeaDoo dealer to get the XPSII oil,what's the procedue to drain and refill?

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Actually they just call it XP-S 4-stroke Mineral Oil now. Here's the link from Sea-Doo's site:

But be sure to ask the parts / service guy just to make sure...

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

...Or you don't have to drain it... just wreck it and get a Yamaha :cool:

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

I have an RXP and with 215 superchared intercooled HP it will eat the lunch on any Yamaha that I've ever seen :rolleyes:

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Drain and refill!

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Once Sea-Doo brought out the supercharged intercooled 4-strokes it was all over for Yamaha. Yami may have been in the game 5-6 years ago but what have they brought out recently that can compete? Combine the speed with the ride quality and build quality and there's no comparison...

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

I have to agree the rotax 4stroke is a far better engine

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Get a real jet ski and 55 will feel very fast

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Sea-BOMB and build quality used in the same sentence........ where's the rolling on the floor LMAO smiley...

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

you've never met a big bore or tripple pipe GP1200R or GP1300R then.....

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

The ones with the 951 engines weren't too reliable, but the new 4-stroke SCIC's are incredible. Take one for a ride and I bet you will be surprised.

How much are big bore kits and "tripple" [sic] kits for a 1200 or 1300? I'm sure if you spent the same $$$ at PPG modding a RXP or RXT you'd have a real screamer...

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

YEA!!!! What he said!!! I used to race a highly modded 550 back in the late 80's. So fast with the right impeller, it got squirrely :eek: I would say 60-65 tops but never held it wide open for any period of time, was "propped" for racing most of the time. I actually had it up until last year but had to give it up due to injuries (back/neck) So there's a white, very loud and very fast 550 running around some Winter Park lakes these days. I'd like to get back into these things one day and for me, the RXP is the only machine I'll buy. I just wish they would make the people that buy them take a "how not to be a liquid weetawwd" class :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Totally off the topic of the thead now, but I did get to ride a GP1300R this weekend. It was a borrowed trade-in, so I did ride like it was stolen. :D

It was fun, big and stable. However it was no where near as fun as my 1997 Polaris SL1050 that I raced as Stock, Modified and SS at different times. I was able to stand my Polaris up on its end and spin it on its tail like a ski; and I rode that thing so hard I cracked the jet tunnel wide open and sank it.

The Muscle PWC were at their prime in the late '90s. SL1050, GP1200, ZXI1100, GSX951. They are too big to be fun anymore.

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

i own both, the big bore/tripple pipe skis will cost you about the same 3Kish as a stage two Riva RXP which will do 72-75 on gps...for the same price my GPR is running 77-78mph on gps and eats my RXP in hole shot/mid and top end, it is just nice having the RXP as my pump gas no wrenching toy

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

I''ve owned both, and I'll take 170 naturally aspirated HP from a Yamaha engine over a 215 blown bombardier engine ANY day...

...and the big-bore packages are king! riva gp1200 world record: 88mph

sea-who?? :cool:

Re: Dumb Sea Doo Question
 

Now that's what I'm talkin about. A true ski. I'll brake for those. :cool:
