    Water valve setting

    I can't find the stock setting for the water valve on my 98 gsx lim. Anyone know what it is supposed to be? Right now the raves are out and the water box is in but the book says the raves should be all the way in? It just says the war box is set at the factory and not to touch. Trying to see if...

    Must be the water in hull day! Where to start?

    98 gsx limited. After riding 15-20 minutes there is about 2 inches of water in the hull. Enough that I have to lift it and drain it. I have already read the post on the siphon tubes (and will be checking that). I have taken the seat off and ran it in the water on the lift. I don't see where the...

    Handle bar?

    On my 98 gsx the plastic housing that has the trim and start button doesn't line up with the plastic housing that covers the rest. Any ideas? Or how can I measure to see if its due to bent bars? I have seen a few ski's without all the plastics and a new front pull throttle, are there any threads...

    This is my 98 GSX Limited before I started to work on the oxidation/faded paint: You can see where a logo or graphic sat in the sun I used 3m super duty rubbing compound and a terry cloth towel to start working on it and this was after only a few minutes of working in circles. After...

    Oil Tank?

    Anyone know if I can get a new oil tank for my 98 GSX Limited that is one piece? I think there is a seam leak and have already tried to seal a seam in a 97 GTI that didnt hold up. I would rather get a whole new tank that doesnt have a seam. Thanks:cheers:

    Pee hole???? How to trace the line

    98 GSX Lim both in the water and out the right pee hole in the back doesnt have any water coming out. I slid some wire in to try and clean it out but I would like to trace it back and take it off to clean it out all the way. When I look for the tube it is blocked by the MPEM so hard to see which...

    Time to dig into the Carbs?

    Last week I put new plugs into my 98 GSX Limited (Red/Purple) and gapped them to spec. Now this is the only thing I have done to it since the last time I had it in the water over the 4th of july weekend and now it bogs down around 5400 rpms and wont go any higher without the surging jerking and...

    Oil Filter change???How do you get to it

    98 GSX Limited and I bought a new oil filter and cant get to the filter to change it. Is there any tricks to getting to it? I can see it but the exhaust manifold is in the way (as normal) and I cant get my hand in there to get to it. Not sure if there is another way to get to it.
