Break In - Not Informed....

[Mosnowman]

Okay so I am a total newbie o the sport and just bought a 2011 GTI155 Limited...

The dealer said nothing about a "break in" period and I didn't even know of such a thing until I found thus site and started reading about caution during the first 10 hours...

So here's he deal....I have about 4 hours on my new Seadoo and being new certainly have varied the throttle quite a lot...not ever at full throttle due to not being comfortable at that speed. The last hour though I did a lot of cruising at 30-35 miles per hour over 15-20 minute periods. Now I am freaking out that I am damaging the engine based on what I have read here about cruising at those constant speeds. Can someone please reassure me that I have not damaged my engine? I ran it up to 50 mph for a few seconds at the highest speed. It makes me a bit mad that the dealer said nothing about breaking it in....

You and your engine are doing just fine! What they don't want is sustained high speed/full throttle runs until after your first oil change at 10 hours. Keep doin' what you're doin'. It's OK. :cheers:

It'll be fine... you're encouraged to vary the engine rpm's for the 1st few hours of operation, just refrain from WOT until you're closer to the 10 hr mark. I believe you're also required by BRP to have the dealer perform that 10 hr oil change and service (they check everything for loose bolts and such; it's more than just an oil change and it is required to preserve your warranty so do be sure to get it done and save the paperwork!!!).

ps. I think all this information is in your Owners Manual... you did read it, right? You need to!
