High RPMs, No Speed

[andralee]

I took my Waverunner '01 GP1200R out today, and just as I opened it up and starting getting some speed it slowed down and the RPMs went all the way up. No matter what I tried it responded the same, like a car stuck in first gear. Any ideas what this promblem might be? Thanks!

obstruction in the pump like a piece of rope or other item in there, also heard of yamaha motor mounts breaking and engine moving forward so the coupler disconnects,

sounds like cavitation to me. Check your impeller for prop burn (ruff edges), also your liner. There should be very little distance between the outside edges of your prop (impeller) and your liner. Like a piece of paper is all that should be able to fit . The yamahas need to have their pumps sealed, as stock they want to suck a lot of air. Go to Riva Yamaha, or any other yamaha dealer and get the ppk. (pump plug kit)
