New Trixx?! Testing the 2018 Sea Doo Spark Trixx
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2018
- After two years of playing around on the 2016 Sea Doo Spark ACE that was upgraded, I decided to purchase the 2018 Sea Doo Spark Trixx and find out what real differences there are. I'll explain a bit more in depth what my thoughts are on these in another video, but enjoy some novice on a trixx.
Oh my God that black and orange one looks amazing!
I saw that jetski at the store once when i was buying one
I just got mine and played with it twice! Im very glad i bought it rather than the heavier ones. Its light, easy to use and so much fun. Im not using it for jetski race anyways and not really looking for a fast one (>50 mph). In terms of the price- very affordable! Highly recommended
Congrats on the new Trixx! I have a 2017 that is tuned with a custom pitched 12/15 Skat Trak impeller. At first I was using a 12/14 and experienced too many rpm’s (5700 at 51mph). I look forward to your comparison video.
Thanks! I agree on the pitching of the prop. We've tested speed a few times, it's pretty funny the difference.
Hey man I know this comment is over a year old but did that tune increase the amount of fuel it burns by a lot
You are still in breakin mode for the first 10 hours of use, every 5 hours it will give you more and more power to use. This allows the machine to break it in properly.
0H 0m..... cut to ... give her hell at 0h 1min (redline, wheelie, jumps) .... nice break in regime he's following I see. Thats how you get a nice condition spark with 14 hours that was beat to hell during those 14 hours then sold off lol.
Thats why its best to buy a brand new unit, break it in properly and keep it for a few years, vs a "USED -- well kept" unit.
@@oneeyedrone4293 ok so
@@aaron-fauth its your money hahah . .not how its supposed to be broken in if you actually want to use this thing reliably. You dont buy a brand new car and redline before the first oil change ... i guess you do.
@@oneeyedrone4293 yes it's necessary on all of them but it's critical on my rxt x 300
The good ole long island sound. Can't wait to get my jet skis out in the sound.
are you right out in front of the pavilion in old lyme? i ride my ski in niantic bay (just around the corner) and the sound all summer!
You are supposed to break in the engine. So i was told by dealership. I have 2 2018 spark 2up's. I blew the wear rings out on both of them under 2hrs om both skis. Dealer said we sucked up debris probably rocks he said. Do you think i should replace the plastic wear ring with a stainleas steel? Do i need to replace the wear ring and impeller together as a pair? Or do i put a plastic weR ring back in? Thanks for video and if you see this and could reply fantastic!
I got the same ski, same colours, it's really good fun, bang for your buck no doubt, great on fuel to, good vid
Very cool. I prefer snowmobiles ... but not my much. PWC are awesome too!
What does changing the prop do compared to the stock one from either scat track or Solas?
Just bought a 2020 recently and will be doing upgrades down the line.
how do you like it so far?
@@turtlesarecool1488 Its pretty cool.Highly maneuverable and easy to get on/off/ I put it on the water today for 45 minutes since the lake was getting choppy.
I loved the teal color when I first saw it, but I really love this orange color!
How you guys keep them registration numbers on that haul? Mine keep falling off
Being a 4 stroke with an oil pickup, I wonder if standing it up like that will cause oil starvation and toast the crank.
Wipsplash I own one of these and there specialized to do these kinds of tricks!
Sounds like a blast
This uses dry sump so no problem
Did you just go and look that up
Wipsplash sounds like you know a lot about jet skis, HA, just kidding jet skis are designed to to shit like that you idiot.
Looking to get a spark 😂 came across someone from CT also 😂
Orange black and red is sick on that jet ski
Where in CT is this? Pavilion Old Lyme?
There a few of these on our lake. They look like fun but I will take me RXT 230 anytime. It's much more challenging freestyle but the power is awesome.
Just get both. I picked up a 300 now I plan on also picking up a trixx. That gives you one for the small lakes and one for the big lakes.
@@potatoe4221 Kind of wish I opted for the 300 but at 52 I’m less likely to hurt myself on the 230. I average about 25 hours a year on it.
Is a spark fast? Do you also have fun with speed?
Im literally buying the same trixx is it worth it and how fast did you get it to stock
Man what a bunch of negative nancys in these comments lol. Great vid dude the Trixx are a blast!!
Thanks!

i never see anyone just cruise on these things. the look like they would be very comfortable to just enjoy the view on like cruising a hwy on my motorbike.
Ayee the Pavilion!!!
Almost bought 2 with trailer for 19k. Changed mind at last minute. Saved 325 per month over 5 years
good thing you didnt they fucked up the design, my buddy has two, wear ring has gone out 3 times in one year. 1800 bucks
Dude how do I get a test ride... I always see these vids of people doing these test runs.
william wohlers hjjghthi
Buy one then they will let you test it
Sinin adln ne tanlşallml
william wohlers I do a lot of test rides cause my dads a mechanic. Sea doo sparks suck ass. They are wet and don’t handle chop at all. Really a one seater and slow. They corrode fast too and are hard to work on.
Rent them
LOL peep the dead crab under the water to the right of the green ski at 2:05
In the market to buy either a Spark or a Spark Trixx. Definitely gonna tune, which do u prefer and why? Also it looked like your Spark was a 3up & your Trixx was a 2up? Any preference? Thanks!
2up. I tune this on other videos as well I made. Check them out on my channel
We Try Motorsports Will do! Also do u like the Spark or Trixx better? Is it worth the extra money? I saw the video where you tuned the Trixx & could barely hit it with the trim up without flipping lol
@@rickross5949 originally I said no, but after using both for 2 years I wouldn't go back to the regular spark. It's worth the extra if you want the versatility to do everything. It all depends on what you can afford I suppose!
We Try Motorsports Ok thanks! Yea I was like idk if I want the Trixx cause I definitely wanna tune it & if it’s gonna have too much power I’ll just stick to the Regular Spark. Thanks again for the info!
i wonder what happens if you floor it and let it go all the way, if it falls onto you or what. I had my friends ski and did not want to flip it over, but i felt sure i could throw it onto me easily
it just hopps out of the water... we ahve one.. if u maintain a staedy throttle control, it will go backwards, but its fne if it goes back wards as it as a bilge pump built into it
Nice. Did you break it in ?
No break in period is necessary it's a 4 stroke
Don’t get me wrong I thinks the sparks are a lot of fun and a good ski for the money but my god whoever at Seadoo thought that red and orange should be put together needs to be fired lol
I don’t mind it but i still think that there’s no reason to pick those colors when the green looks much better. It’s like they hold a 10$ in one hand and a 100$ bill in the other and ask you to pick one.
@@murican1889 hahha agreed, the original combo was the best for the trixx, turquoise blue with red seat.
The 2019 model came out with the light green and green seat that also look awesome.
The red/orange was a very ugly combo ... but some people like it.. its also a cheaper model due to the ugly color combo.
Good part is you can get the parts on their own and its a bit of a pain but they can be swapped out.
I like it better than white and red
Looks stable. Keeping 2 up on my 1995 Seadoo SPi is a challenge when at rest.
The orange is my favorite I want one now
what year for jet ski seadoo Spark and how much hair
What dealer motor sports nation?
Hi there! I'm in the process of choosing which model I want to buy and I narrowed it down to either the regular Spark or the Spark Trixx. BRP's website is kind of sketchy when it comes to details and you seem to know your stuff. I've looked up a couple of your vids and I would need a bit more info on the tuning part which I'm not sure I understand what it really means.
Right off the bat, the Trixx is more appealing to me based on the look, the trim options and the raw HP of the engine (60HP seems a bit low to me on the regular Spark). So I guess my question is if I buy a Trixx, do I need to spend more money to have someone tune it for me? If so, what exactly will be tuned? If I keep it stock, will I be able to still get the most out of it ?
You see, I'm no expert at all and I would like to understand stuff before dumping over 10k in a machine (I'm canadian).
Thanks bro :)
Take my advice, never ever start with tuning a jetski, because you end up crying, swearing and wrenching alot of hours on the beach.
I ride jetski's for almost 30 years and kept all my ski's original, and non of them did fail on me ever, besides a blocked 5 dollar check valve, and that's it.
Now i don't know the spark, but it's made out of a strong plastic and weighs nothing compared with fiderglass models, so the 90hp trixx looks like a fun
ski to me. Maybe you could install another impeller and a ride plate on it, but i wouldn't touch the engine. And the cheapest way is to buy a normal 60hp
and have that chipped to 90hp, because it's just a chip thing that else would set you back a extra 1400 dollars for the 90hp version.
@@ronniedoorzon1576 Yeah you are correct. I've bought the Trixx and after trying it out, there's absolutely no need for me to screw with it just to get an additional 1 or 2 mph. It's fast enough for me needs. The idea behind that machine was that it was cheap to buy and came with cool features like the trim, fuel economy and the sport mode. I barely notice it on my truck's fuel consumption too when I bring it to the cottage.
That machine is an absolute blast and I'm enjoying it very much!
@@ronniedoorzon1576 its not based around mapping between 60hp and 90hp injectors are different for a start look at the part codes.
*AWESOME*
More videos bro !
Never skip leg day
comes through the sun raid hahaha I agree don't ever skip leg day
Is it sharp?
Yeah i completely agree with you, my trixx has the stage 3 Riva with 12/15 prop and stage 3 tune and I have a brutal acceleration and my top speed is about 95/97 km/h
Rxp255 Seadoo mint!
Dang! Great video thanks for sharing!
Oh man I've got the 155 rxp and the best i ever got was 98k's an hour on the speedometer. Sparks must be nice and light, they make the rxp seem a little disappointing. Things still a riot though. Always fun
2:55 shocked me, this ski is way bigger than I thought it was. Expected it to be around the same size as my xp
Xixu they’re really not much bigger. Xp with a 951 is way faster and handles better. Better ski all around
Jade Lees I have a 96 which is still quite a bit smaller than the later xp’s. The spark does seem comparable to the later xp’s in size though
Xixu yea that’s the one I was talking about I should’ve clarified. The first xp model was pretty cool. A guy put a suped up 951 motor in that xp and it was a 80+ mph jet ski
@@jadelees9005 the xp is smaller and very unstable compared to a spark. I still like the old x4 hull but the motors were trash, all of the 720, 787, 951)
The 951 XP especially was a total dumpster fire, no one liked them, they were unreliable, they rolled over if you stopped on the water (even as a light rider). Just total trash, and the resale value shows that.
The spark is a great machine for what it is, 4 stroke, Fuel injected, light, inexpensive to buy, repair/maintain etc. But its an entry level ski, the old jet skis, 2 strokes, oil injected DI models even were just a total headache every-time on the water. Anyone that says they love older jet skis, must love working on them since I HATE Maintaining the old skis.
One thing Seadoo got right with the spark is they made it start up every time.
OneEyeDrone yea I don’t like two strokes that much either but maintenance on it isn’t as easy as you think and every time you wanna take the top half off you have to take all of those dumb screws that and you have to disconnect the steering cable in order to take it completely off. So every time you ride your spark in salt water you have to clean everything or it’ll completely go to shit. I’ve seen two year old sparks be completely be cover in corrosion and sea doos are knows for they’re exhaust leaks. I know it seems that I’ve gone off topic but for salt water you have to spend like an hour cleaning your jet ski afterwards on the inside. They could’ve came up with a better design for it cause the spark flips a lot and gets swamped so it’s always getting water in it. They’re not a good design in the long run cause they corrode fast and sea doos get exhaust leaks and they’re carbon rings leak too so always starting isn’t impressive. It’s about being able to drive on the water. There’s been many times where me and my father get a jet ski that’s runs perfect on the trailer but the second you put it on the water it’s falls on it’s face. What I’m saying is just cause it starts doesn’t mean it works and sea doos have never impressed me other than the older rxp’s
Should i get one..? Any recommendations.
No wife or kids? Then definitely lol
How do you not fuck with the crab at the beginning 😂
I have a 2 2019 sea doo trixx one blue and red and one orange and red
The sound? You in pnw?
Does the trixx and spark have same speed or is one faster
Green ski was upgraded before this so it was faster. They're close since both are upgraded now but green ski is a little lighter so it's faster
Good vid!
should do a video how to use it all that for the beginners
Coming up this year!
l was just getting into skis, zero knowledge history motocross . looked at these in seadoo shop in 2016, lm a hands on person when it comes to fixing or maintaining your toys. This showed me with its access to engine compartment that it wont last very long built very cheap with all these bolts around it to pull it apart to get to engine for cleaning etc.
bought a Yamaha vxr 2017 no regrets.
Not sure where you got that info. By far the easiest ski to work on. My 2016 is approaching 100 hours. No issues. Closed cooling system, full access to motor - no hull in the way. It's not the same ski, in fact there are no others on the market even close. I would say it's in a class of its own. I wouldn't trade it for old tech. Best ski out of the 30ish I've owned. To each their own, but I'm very much against spreading false information. Please allow yourself some real experience with the ski.
What was your monthly payment for the jet ski for the percentage you got it?
ding ding ding---ding open sport mode
Did you put a 12/14 prop on it?
The better is the custom 12/15. see my other videos. I tried the 12/14, 12/17 and the skat trak. Best by far as the Impros Custom pitched Solas 12/15
Are we not going to acknowledge the crab laying upside down 2:05
2:06 is that a dead crab?
yeah I saw that to lol
Loool yes
@@Seabass-hu8nd hvh
I looked at the comments to see if anyone saw the crab😂😂😂
Nice looking
I like both
Grggehhehhr8e
What’s the best impeller and tune for this 2018. I don’t know nothing about it but I damage the stock impeller so I want to upgrade can anyone point me to the right direction is a solas 12/17 and 8600 a good combo
12/15 custom with 8600 tune
@@WeTryMotorsports thank you for the reply 👍🏽
@@lofadem anytime, enjoy the water 🤙
One more thing you know where can I buy the tunner or Wich one to buy
Is there an specific brand
But you right, it is more than you can do on an rxp
Good stuff. Just picked up a pair of GTI SE's . Love the sound. We would link up

rip the dead crab at around 2:00
Men these look so modern these 2018, and powerful. Does they really go only 50mph, this is like 90km/h, very fast for water actually, but when I know new modern jets are like 150hp or 200hp, I imagine superbike speeds divided by 2 in the water. So instead of 300km/h, like 130km/h
I want one but 50 mph seems slow after having a couple older GSX 2 strokes.
depends on what you want to be doing on the water. if it's just going fast, look elsewhere
i love this vid
Plzzz how many price

Do jet skis get boring?
Only if your a boring person!
Anyone else notice the dead crab at 2:00?
Jet skis are fun for what you get for your money it well worth it
Sick
Rip the crab
He ded
He would have loved the Sea Doo's!
My dad have that jets kid and he know how to stand up with the jetskie
Nice couch
1uuww
How do you like the grips on the orange one? they look kind of awkward
They're not the best, I'm going to switch them to ones that the green ski has
Yeah, the ones on the green one look nice and grippy, probably need gloves with them though. Thanks for addressing my question 👍
Why is it a wheelie if I doesn't have a wheel!?
Frugo FPV it’s a catwalk
man what is the top speed again?
49 mph
Where are you at? Can I get the name of that dealer, I'm looking to upgrade. I have about 200hrs on my RXT 215
James Brandon that’s like 1000 hours on a seadoo lol
I should buy him
what is the matter with the steering
i liked your vid btw
I have one of those tricks but teel blue
What do they mean by hours??
Hours are what boats/PWC’s use instead of how cars use mileage
What is the top speed?
50mph stock.
CT native here too.. is that right out in front of the pavilion?? Hope no one gives u any shit for those awesome tricks your doing 🤣🤣
Have u heard the news??
Seadoo spark turbo from factory in 5-6 months! 150hp! im not talking about the troll with the spark 150x sticker, but theyare actually gonna make it a turbo :O
I caught wind of it! I was going to do a video on it... hopefully be able to play on one this year! Awesome stuff as usual
@@fastemx u dont get it do u.
If the spark comes with turbo from factory, there is a warranty.
you dont get that when your badly vtech turbo kit blow your engine..
Only kit out there atm that is good, is the victory
Ive seen a couple of sparks round here that HAD turbo kits fitted.....theyre not fitted now and the hulls have burn marks in the plastic, hmmmm?
@@theravedaddy then i woner, why they dont sell the kits....
Does anybody have any more info on this? Or what source/site?
Hello Sir I hope you are well then I am sending you this message just to know how much the jet ski price
new is around 5-6 grand, pretty cheap for a jet ski even with all the features it has
@@matteopardi3947 the trixx is like 7-8k
I like the shape of them. I just don't like how they made them look like they're made from plastic
Get ready to replace the wear rings if you suck up rocks and sticks in shallow water. Start them and stop them in deeper water. Wear rings run about 80bucks..
Learning experience! Better that than the shaft or motor 😁 also wear rings are $35
¿How much?
New ones 2019 about 8100.00 with the stereo
When you say "tune" what does that mean?
Manipulate the computer inside the jet ski to push out more horsepower. This is done by basically making the throttle more responsive. There's more to that that I explain in my other videos. Check them out if you need more info!
Nice wow super bro price how much bro
I’m bad speak English, the new spark??

Ur lucky as fuck cool as fuck jet skis
Get a stand up
Been there, done that. I outline why I don't care for stand up skis anymore in my video. I've owned everything from a 650sx to a squarenose to a superjet. Different types of skis for different applications! I still enjoy riding other people's though!
the 18 trixx looks alot better than the 17.
but, i dont understand why people buy the trixx. the vts is not needed, its way too easy to do a "wheelie". with my 60 tuned non ibr/vts its much harder, but also much more fun.
I agree, it was a test to see if the trixx was worth it. Although fun, I would purchase a 60 ACE, tune and upgrade it if I had to do it all over again. I got the trixx for 6199 after rebates and incentives, so it was worth it.
