ok ive searched ths forum and found a bunch of usefull info but id like to here it all at onece just to be sure. ive never owned a wave runner. but i have ridden them alot and rented. im also quite mechanicly inclined when it comes to boats and cars. not so much these. and deff not 2 strokes.
Any way i was on craigslist a week ago and am now inthe process of buyn' a 2000 yami xl800. with 58 hrs on it. the guy is the second owner and claimes he babied it. no scratched scuffs, and never had to take it in for service. From what ive read so far these models need "power valves"?? replaved with the wave eater ones?? Ive also read on here that the oil injection systems often fail and it is a better idea too run pre mix wich the majority of you guys say 32:1
Question is-- are these mods very necessary or just a reliability thing. im not looking for a dragster just something reliable to take my wife out on. Do they come with flush kits on them already? as it will be primarily a sallt water ski. What other maintenance do these require? pump oil or other fluids or that nature. And last. if i take care of this thing will it last a while or am i S.O.L with a 2 stroke? Thanks for all the info and thios looks like a great forum
