So I fumbled with the DESS post when I got home today and it cranked and started. Its also missing the beeper completely, which I think goes under the handlebar center pad. It looks like it was cut off, I have two loose wires there. I messed around with the lanyard to see if I could duplicate...

This ski has never beeped since ive owned it. I don't think its hooked up. As far as the start stop goes I did a continuity test when pressing the buttion and it was around 4 ohms. I also did the same thing with the DESS. There were 3 wires going to it. I don't remember whichs ones I checked off...

Greetings everyone! I hope you are all able to get out and hit the water lately, we have had nothing but rain and cold in the mitten and had my first day out on the water (or at least the launch) on Saturday. So to start off the model I have is a 1996 Seadoo XP with the 787 My usual process...

Do you have a link to your thread?

What is MEKP? Sounds like the process isnt hard, just time consuming. Time isnt much of a problem. How much paint did you need to do your ski? I know mine i will be less. Looking at doing a yellow/purple combo. I havent quite figured out in my head what i want to do yet so that could change.

Runs good, 155 psi both cylinders, completely replacing/rebuilding/cleaning fuel system and oil system now and have rebuilt the drive system. The painting is something i want to do to make it my own. I am thinking of doing a yellow/purple combo somehow.

After looking at all your guys restoration threads, it makes me want to do this to my own ski but I am curious what is all involved? Besides wet sanding, patching if needed and painting im not quite sure what kinda products are needed. Could anyone give me a rundown on what products to use...

Anyone from the great lakes area ever ride on them? I know someone here has.... Someone I work with recently told me to ride out on Lake Huron next summer. He said id never want to ride on a smaller lake again. I have a 96 xp thats a pretty rough ride when it gets choppy, even when i mess with...

Anyone use drones to record their fun on the water? Looking at buying one next year. DJI Mavic Zoom 2 probably, unless i see something else. Wondering if anyone has any and their thoughts on them

Hey everyone! I have been a member on here for a few months now but I figured i'd give a decent introduction. My name is Alex, I am 26 years old, newly married, diesel technician who is a bit of a gear head. When I was a kid, some friends of ours had some polaris wave runners. We would go to...

I live in Michigan and picked up my 96 xp with a trailer included for $1500. From what I have seen the ski alone is around 1500-2000. The trailer can range from 300-500 so i think I made a good deal. Personally i wouldnt pay 850 for it if it didn't run. If it does run (and float) id be on my...

Got some more issues with the 96xp... Ski seems to be starting hard, doesn't matter if its cold or hot. I also notice it does not like idling for more than like 10 seconds before it stalls, and then struggles to fire back up. To me it seems fine when its running wide open, but it doesnt seem...

i think you missed the question...is it possible its just a bad switch from the information i have given?

So i have been troubleshooting the VTS on my 96 XP. I checked over a few basic things, fuses, bad connections, checked the motor, all were ok. I set the trim manually by hand to as high up as it can go. I reinstalled the motor and then tightened everything down and connected everything. When i...
