A am looking at a RX DI 2001,(51 hours on it) The top speed I got was 55-56 mph on gps.1/2 tank of gas and my big butt on it.What is any one else getting for top speed with the gps,the wish meater said 61 mph?
Thanks mike

GPS'd my cousins '03 RXDI today and got 62.6. 55-56 seems way off.

62.6 must have been downstream, make another pass the opposit way and make the average.

55/56 is about what most inexperienced riders will get out of an RX because of clueless use of the trim and wrong riding position, a shipped impeller or a dying cylinder (very common on the 951) can do that too.

I had it trimed up proper.What should the compression be on it?

one click above half is fastest potion on trim. have 2000 rx but carb, it runs in the 62. buddy had di it seem to be faster.

I made 3 passes: 62.4, 62.6, 62.8 with 4 bars of fuel at sea level. Keep in mind air temp. was about 75 and lake temp. was 68. 62 is about right for an RXDI.

Went 63.5 yesterday. 74 degrees no clouds.

My 02 RX-DI would GPS around 60-61mph.

Put a compression gage on it today got 12 to 13 psi differance in the cilinders.Decided to pass and get a rxp.
Thanks for the input

You will be very happy with the RXP. I had a 2001 RX carb model, was good for about 62 after I rejet and put on flame arrestors. I would not mind having another one as a second ski for my wife and daughters to ride.
