First off I know this is the wrong forum. But no one ever responds in the 4tec forum and some of the two stroke skis came with opas also so I’d figure it applies.
As the title states my 2005 rxt has block off plates on it with the opas removed. I got it like that and rebuilt the engine and just got it going a week or so ago. I’ve always had older 2 strokes, some bigger ones like the gtx rfi and compared to them this rxt handles horribly at lower speeds. At idle it’s fine. But from right above idle to probably 20 miles per hour or so you damn near have to go full throttle to get it to even consider turning. And even then it’s barely turning. It rolls as much as it turns. Once you get going it handles fine.
I get it’s a bigger ski but I’ve rode bigger than it before. I work at a Seadoo dealer and have test ridden all kinds of makes and models of Seadoo and Yamaha and I’m thinking this is one of the worst handling ones I’ve rode at lower speeds.
Anyway my parts ski still has all the opas system on it and I’m thinking about replacing whatever parts are known to leak and transferring it all over to this ski. Anyone have any opinions on if it’ll actually help or not? I can’t imagine it’s supposed to handle like this. When we went out the other day everyone that rode it said the same thing. It runs good but the handling absolutely sucks
