Power loss on 2001 GP1200R

[bobgpr]

Well as the header states I have a 01 GP1200R and last weekend it felt like it dropped a cylinder , checked the plugs and all are firing , checked the YPVS clips and those seem to be intact , water intake is ok , fuel filter is ok , cat hot light came on ......before I take this to the dealer can anyone point me in the right direction maybe ? I bought it used and have no real maintenence records and have been using Sea Doo oil........<br />Thanks , <br />Bob

do a compression check and don't use the ski if it lost compression in one cyl, those engines will bash a rod through the block and render it worthless for rebuilding, if the compression is ok you probably have a clogged cat and that can toast a rear piston . so start with that.

Ok , will give that a shot and report back , are clogged cats common on these machines ?<br />Thanks , <br />Bob
