Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I just purchased a 2001 GTX DI and a 2003 XP DI. We took them out this weekend to ride and when riding, I noticed the following issues:
01 GTX - When hauling 2-3 people, hardly any power at all. Top speed with 3 people was 15mph. When only 1 person was on, it was able to hit 25mph, but that's it. I know this thing can go faster than this, but I'm puzzled on what it could be? I called my neighbor who is a mechanic and he came over and we pulled the Spark Plugs and one was definitely bad, but the other was in decent shape. Could this be the problem?
03 XP - When riding, it was sluggish to get up and get going. It would hit 40mph easily, but then would slow up. Also, when idling, it shut off 2 times. We pulled the spark plugs on this one as well and found the same situation as the GTX.
So my question is, could the spark plugs be causing all of our above problems?
