    At my wits end, 787 problems

    The first thing I thought when you said "it will sometimes only accelerate to 5000-5250 rpms and hold there for a few seconds" was your cavatating. On second thought, check your rectifier because that will causing strange intermittent problems directly affecting the way it runs and its known...

    Happy 4th! 96 XP died and stranded me at sea.

    2 years ago was the best! There was a day in July that I was pulling my skis out of a 40 acre lake at 10:15pm & the temp was 98 degrees, the water temp was 93 degrees. Last year sucked, very mild and this year the same so far, but thats normal Michigan summers. I personally would like Florida...

    Happy 4th! 96 XP died and stranded me at sea.

    I was being sarcastic guys. All 6 bolts holding the mag to the flywheel broke off and danced around inside the mag before finally seizing themselves against the stator,thats where all the metal shavings (chunks of bolt) came from. As you can see from the picture the other halves of the mag...

    Happy 4th! 96 XP died and stranded me at sea.

    Thanks for the help guys. I went ahead and fixed the pin and cleaned the connector, plugged it back in with a fresh fuse in the MPEM andddddddd............. no spark, but it didnt blow the fuse again. So I went ahead and pulled the stator cover and It looks perfectly normal, I cant imagine...

    Happy 4th! 96 XP died and stranded me at sea.

    Long story short, 4th of July I go out on Lake Huron for a 40 mile ride, I only make it 27 miles. At one point while riding I heard a loud abrupt noise that sounded like I hit something floating in the water, I never identified the sound but I kept riding for 8 miles...

    Michigan area "destination/long" rides

    Great picture! It really makes it look small but when you get out there on an X4 you will almost definitely be the one feeling small. Its 7 miles from metro beach ski launch to gull island which I can see both from your aerial picture.

    Michigan area "destination/long" rides

    I have crossed St Clair on a 96 XP on a perfect day in early September and once you get out into the blue (When the water actually starts to look blue) you can count on 1 to 3ft seas. Like I said thats on a perfect day with little to no wind and lots on lake traffic. I have also rode from...

    Just had a disappointing trip

    You win some and you lose some. I drove from Clarkston out to Gary,IN and got a hell of a deal on my 96 XP 800s and he started them both right up when I got there and started pointing out everything that was wrong with them to give me a head start on bringing them back to 100%, I was lucky...
