First off, this is the first pwc that I have personally owned. I've had experience with several others, but all were Seadoos. But I'm a Honda/Yamaha man, and found a decent 2001 GP800R at a good off-season price. I rode it, and checked compression before buying it.
My questions to some experienced owners are:
Are there any things that I need to be worried about with this model?
I plan on buying a block-off kit and running mixed fuel. What ratio should I run? 40:1 ? 32:1 ?
Would a Riva straight through exhaust kit help this ski any? I'm not really looking for more performance, but more reliability and no gummed up exhaust. I've had several 2 stroke dirtbikes that build up gunk over time and run like crud.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh
