Ride on lake 8100 Rpm pow! blew up. Plenty of oil was in it. No warning. Just blew up. WTF?

Is this the same RXP that had the oil leak earlier this year?

Sound's like a bust to me.

Yes it did have a oil leak. Oil cooler had a defect in it. The first time the low light came on it was shut down. Never run low on oil. Never made any noise. It is still under warranty. Am pulling the motor myself to take to dealer for exchange. Bad experiences with work there. Dont trust anyone but myself. Found large chunk of in bottom. Piston hanging out. Never had a motor just let go with no warning. It was at 8100 when it blew. Almost threw me over the handlebars. Lake water 50 degrees. Glad I didnt fall in. Smoke came out from under seat. Thought was on fire.

Does your ski have history of a supercharger clutch failure?

If you pull the motor you can forget warranty the work needs to be performed by a seadoo dealer. They are really strict about that and especially that type of repair. If you dont like there work go somewhere else. Just trying to help you out. If you pull that motor I highly doubt any seadoo dealer will try to waranty that for for you because that is big no no.

Never had any supercharger problems. would turn 8100 all day long with stock setup with a stage one kit.2100 above sea level.

do you have photos to see the damage

Wana sell it???

i wouldnt be surprised piper, i was in the 2006 thailand kings cup,an rxt had engine failures and the hungarian mechanics were surprised to see the valve came of and got somehow stuck welded in the top of the piston its like a quartr was standing in the middle of the piston and it was like welded there. wow. what an experiance.

it's a Sea Doo

Yea.... I don't think yanking the motor and taking it in would turn out well.... If I was the dealer I wouldn't warranty it out. For all I would know as the dealer would be the ski blew up and the motor failed because of it.


Don't yank the motor.... take the whole ski in.
