CHEAP THRILLS
Member
My wife and I acquired a 96 SPX 720 and 99 Yamaha GP800 last week. We took them out this past Saturday and had a blast minus a few hiccups. I ride the GP800 except when she wants to go faster. That brings up the HELP question... She hates being last, and my big ass on that little ski does't work very well!!! Any ideas on inexpensive mods to make to the ski to help her top end speed? The VTS isn't working and was in the full up position, I lowered it manually by taking the VTS motor off and turning the star wheel till I reached a neutral position. My guess is that will help slightly. The previous owner was premixing the gas @24-1 which I know is way too rich (it's like mosquito control behind her), I started mixing 40-1, but haven't gotten all the old gas run through yet. The ski has a R&D ride plate and what looks like a different exhaust pipe installed (manifold is white, pipe and stinger are purple)
Thanks for any and all help,
Pat
