Hahah I was impressed with how hard you rode that thing in the ocean!

It was a struggle to keep it running on the 2 cylinders...I had to goose the throttle to get up to speed and keep it running. My ski will do 55 mph easy with me on it and hits 60 with my wife who's half my weight lol

Same... The seasons limit me. The water is cold and rough around here. Not enough calm days around Scotland for my liking 😂.

Whoops sloppy editing I guess. If I didn't edit them out there would be 20 in each video, minimum

@@JDsWaterWorld I get frustrated and let some profanity out at times but genuinely I try not to swear.

@@SAABROSSoh how I wish it didn’t get below freezing here. You’d think I’d be far enough south for it not to but it does get pretty cold during the winter

Lololol 😂

They also sell cigarettes and glyphosate despite the fact they are known to cause cancer. People make conscious decisions thinking "it won't be me" that's the beauty of free will

Hahahah it worked so well

Awesome! Thanks for the comment! I try to upload everything in 4k when possible for that exact reason! When I wear my helmet and mast the rain is no bother- but without the water droplets hit you in the face very hard! I am one of those people that does not mind getting wet on the ski at all. I have dozens of videos like this one of ocean rides- really appreciate your comment as my goal was to provide quality POV shots that were immersive!

Reputable sources I can recommend: Kawi Performance, Riva Racing, Kspeed, Napa Auto Parts or your local Kawasaki dealer

@@JDsWaterWorld Thank you so much

Have you had the wire harness recall completed?

@@JDsWaterWorld no i haven’t

@@JDsWaterWorld I figured there was other things to check before I went straight for that but I will call my dealer I guess I need to make that appointment there go the end of my summer

Yeah on such a new ski there shouldn't be any issues you may have on an older ski so my bet would be it's the known harness issue!

@@JDsWaterWorld thanks for you feed back now I know where to start tomorrow morning calling my dealer

Do they really? Hahah

@@JDsWaterWorld Yup. They make a lot of industrial machines for companies that do various things. It’s sort of like how Amazon makes a bulk of their money from their hosting side of things. This is how they can sell products cheaper than many other places, and do the whole prime thing. Kawasaki Heavy Industries makes a bulk of their money, like you said making trains, as well as other machines. So they can keep their motorsports division alive, especially the JetSki line, which as you know has the lowest market share.

I would want someone to buy one from Napa or something and confirm the longevity before I try it

I was planning to try this. Have you?

Haha the west marine one is the best I've found so far..still going strong!

You can't check the oil while the ski is running- level should be the same warm or cold. Are you using a bubble level on the valve cover to confirm the engine is 100% level?

@@JDsWaterWorld yes sir. Using your bubble level tip from your video. Oil about 1/4 above the top notch bend of oil stick

Yeah a bit high..won't damage the engine or anything but will cause extra oil to be puked into intercooler which makes a nasty mess over time. Water vapor mixes with the oil and causes a white yogurt like substance of emulsified oil and water to clog up the catch can and hoses..you can pull the hoses off the catch can and check to see if they look like a clogged artery

@@JDsWaterWorldfantastic answer sir. I’m on several jet ski forums and sending people to your video library for answers. You by far have the best knowledge base of anyone out there. Greatly appreciated sir.

Will not matter if it's cold or warm, but you need to make sure that the engine is perfectly level using a bubble level. Raise or lower the tongue of your trailer as necessary until the engine is 100% level or your reading on the dipstick will be wrong. if the oil is overfilled, it will force excessive oil into the can, and then into the airbox and then into the intercooler you don't wanna overfill these machines

@@JDsWaterWorld thank you jd. I did indeed level the ski per one of your instructional videos (I’m learning a lot from you and sending people to your video library) and being perfectly level, the oil was was almost 1/4 inch ABOVE the top notch on the dip stick. --- Is this considered too much oil? So I decided to not go to the lake. If in your opinion this is too high a reading , then I will purchase the oil extractor you recommend and remove some oil and then have oil on hand if I remove too much. I will keep doing a little at a time and checking dip stick. So glad about your videos as I remembered you saying somewhere "do not overfill your oil." I’m finding out some dealerships for whatever reason on occasion overfill with too much oil.

Yeah not a bad idea to take a bit back out! The west marine brand extractor is the most durable out of all the ones I've bought over the years!

The tune should not void your warranty, but you can flash it back to the original stock tune before bringing in into a dealer if you want to using the K speed tune box

@@JDsWaterWorld sounds good 👍

How old is the fuel? That would be my first red flag if that's old fuel in there...

@@JDsWaterWorld Fuel was old 8-9 months (half tank, I was refilling first day), each time I go on the lake I spend around half tank and after I refill 93 octane, today I put K100, first 2h jet ski was working perfectly, third hour RPM went down constantly, speed is going up but with those twitching. So far this season I spent around 35 gallons.

No clue, I don't really use accessories other than a stern bag or the fuel/cooler rack

I have thought of installing the Recdec from Sea Doo on the Ultra deck. But that means you buy that deck from Sea Doo and then have to buy their expensive accessories. I found a company called Yak Attack. They are VA based and make a lot of their stuff in the US. I bought their tie down brackets to use on the Ultra Deck rails. A pair of US made strap brackets are $20. Then bought one of their 12ft straps. (They have a video on the strap. Very high quality) this system works great and I can use my 30 yo gas cans that are not ruined by the EPA. I have logged literally hundreds of miles now. Hauling two 5 gallon cans. That is far more capacity than Sea Doo Recdec cans and way cheaper. It is simple to strap down. No tools needed other than an allen wrench to remove the factory track plugs. Once they are out no tools required. The Kawi tie down brackets are more expensive and require an allen wrench to adjust and secure in the track. Yak Attacks do not. Doubt the Kawi ones are made in USA either. As a bonus the straps are black and orange matching my 160LXS.

The honeycomb element inside the ring degrades very quickly as well but assuming you had a rig to weld stainless steel..sure you could

The camera must be turned on manually but works at any speed. You must be under 3,000 rpm to use the Jog dial or it's locked out

Do you ride in shallow water? If yes chances are the oil cooler and stator housing and cooling channels in the block are packed full of mud or sand. I would check all of the cooling hoses first, to make sure they are not clogged up or kinked and go from there. Are you using 10-40 synthetic oil?

Yes,10-40castrol, beap occurred frequently . What to do for that sir, plz help me.

It's based on your comment, so thanks!!

Lol

Their accessories are very high quality- I have the soft cooler, stern bag, rack, and dry bag and all are holding up well so far

The ones in the video are Blitz 5 gal jugs but there are now illegal in the US so you must either find them used or find alternative ones that fit.
