Trouble Shooting Speed, Leaks, Overheat, etc

[Guest]

My blow off valve was shooting oil and water everywhere, so I checked it out and turns out the intercooler has a significant water leak and it was going into the engine and getting shout out into the breather hose right back into the intake. I dunno how the oil is getting there but figured with the extra pressure of the water it was getting mixed and recirculated making it worse and worse the more I rode. Light brown snot is everywhere now. Anybody have this happen to them? Should replacing the intercooler fix this problem? Sorry if I'm not to clear on my problem.

You mean....a Riva blow off valve?.. what kind of IC do you have.

Riva intercooler. The water was getting mixed in with oil in the engine and recirculating through my intake. When I would let off, it would be sprayed out throught the BOV.

Exhaust Overheat

I am having a wierd problem with my 2006 RXT. If I am doing donuts, figure 8's, 180's, 360's (well almost 360's) basically just screwing around riding hard my exhaust overheat warning comes up on the display and beeps really loud. I have found that if I just idle in a straight line for a 30 seconds or so all returns to normal. What makes this weird is it ONLY happens when I am riding. Example a buddy of mine that I think can ride the machine just as hard or harder in these types of manuvers CANNOT get it to throw the code at all, We have tried to get him to duplicate it but it just wont happen. Is it possible that my weight has something to do with it? Possibly the weight distrubution when I am riding doesnt allow the water intake for the exhaust to pull in water during these types of manuvers? I am 6'2 250, athletic build. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Matt...

Appreciate the Thread

Thanks for the Oil Level Tip. Was able to increase my RPMs from 7850 to 8100 by removing 8oz's of oil. Super excited it wasn't a slipping SC.

Low speed, pulling to one side or another:
Look under the ski, near the fuel tank, for delamination of the hull. Usually happens on one side or the other, and the paint peels away like sheets of wallpaper.

Cylinders

I got a RX DI Seadoo and got water in the cylinders. I pulled off the plugs and been trying to dry them up. I've used wd-40 as was told by dealer and alot of patience. What else can I do, I'm losing fundays in the sun!

damaged thru hull fitting

I let my son and friends take my 98 Sea-Doo GTX Limited to the lake (against my better judgment). Somehow the thru hull fitting got chewed up by the hose clamp that is meant to secure and seal the hose that covers the drive shaft where it enters the hull. I suspect the bearing froze up that's supposed to let the shaft rotate freely without spinning the cover hose. I don't think there's enough of a lip on the thru hull fitting to secure the hose anymore. The thru hull fitting appears to be a permanent piece. Does anyone know if it's replaceable/repairable?

Outstanding info!
I've already experienced a couple of these in my 2 months of ownership!

Updated again

I updated the SC slip specs and some other things since new X chargers often come at 150 lbs slip stock. Also added some things people might encounter if they have had the head off, or cam chain off, etc, as well as OIL alarm ideas.
