SO I WORK AT A KAWASAKI DEALER AND WE HAVE SOLD 15 250X AND 7 HAVE COME BACK TO US WITH RUNNING PROBLEMS . THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!
THERE ALMOST AS BAD AS THE OLD D.I.'S THEY SUCK TOO.

SO THEY ARE NOT GETTING FULL BOOST THEY HAVE LOW COMP, THEY HAVE A LEAK DOWN OF AROUND 10%, THE BLOW OFF VALVES TEST OK, PLUGS ARE NEW, THERE IS NO OIL IN THE IN INTAKE , THERE IS NO FUEL IN THE OIL ,AND NO WATER IN THE OIL . THE IMPELLERS LOOK OK LITTLE WARE BUT NUTHIN MAJOR . AND THEY DO NOT IDLE IF ANY ONE HAS ANY HELP I WILL TAKE IT

THERE IS GOOD CHEEP OR FAST AND THEN THERE IS KAWASAKI JET SKIS THERE IS SUCK

 

Sorry you feel that way, the ones ive PDI and rode seem fine,

 

it has to be something dumb it has to be . i guess it not the skis it the people . just saying

 

well not if youve had 7 out fo the 15 come back, we havent had any problems with them we had a 250 motor that kawi sent us and we messed with that one it was fine also , id go ahead and call your tech line,

 

the only problem that ive seen is that they dont fit on the stands very well, the hulls are much wider than any of the other lineups

 

called them and they just have no idea. and to just give you a heads up the service book has alot of not so right inof so it it does not seem right it may not be all the servicr intervuls are all wrong as per tech line

 

true we got the aquecarts they work well

 

hmm thanks for it ill keep my eyes open for when they come in

 

Sounds like a tech problem to me, We have sold over a dozen and no problems with any. Call hot line and get help there. Sometimes it not Kawasaki it may be you......

 

I'm thinkin' about getting a couple; sounds like I should do my own maintenance
but what kind of range can I expect, both Island hopping and flat out- can I get to Bellingham from Olympia (calm sea) on a full tank?
And top speed of 65 about right?
can you get different impellers that might give you less acceleration but better range? or more efficient?
thanks, just a few new-be questions
