Hi Guys,
I have a 2002 Honda F-12X Turbo. Great ski - I love it!
I bout the ski last winter from a dealer that assured me that it was ready to go. I rode it all summer without issues (maybe 30 hours worth). I would like to do a few things to take care of it - I bet it needs an oil change by now and some other stuff... Problem is, the owner's manual is useless! "Take it to the dealer." Those SOB's wanted $60 for a battery that I bought for $14 (for my bike).
Oil Change: I saw the obvious oil filter and fill plug. However, where is the drain plug? What type of oil goes into the ski? How often should this be changed?
Axle greese? I saw in the rear of the ski a hose with an axle greese plug on the end - looks like it lubes the drive shaft between the engine and impeller. What kind of greese goes here and how often should it be lubed?
Air filter? I dig around a bit and could not find an air filter - there has to be one... When should this be changed and where the heck is it?
What other things need attention before i go riding this season?
