Some issues with my 2009 RXT 255 iS
Hey guys. So two weeks ago I decided to take my RXT IS for a spin, for about the 3rd or 4th time this season. All was great and there were some nice waves rolling in (about maybe 3-4 feet or so, if that), and there was the local beach nearby with people on the docks watching and stuff. So I decided to show off a little bit.I started just having fun and wave jumping a little bit (just got the machine last August and I've used it maybe 15-20 times now, so I'm still getting used to it). It was great fun jumping off the waves, and jabbing the throttle a little and getting almost the entire machine in the air a few times. I also did some really TIGHT turns on it and got water going over the bow and I got it soaked.
So anyway, after about an hour of playing around, some tight donuts and a few jumps and then cruising and taking a 3-5 minute break by totally stopping, I jumped off a wave or just did a donut (can't remember which one), the CHECK ENGINE message scrolls across the screen... 2 seconds later, the IBR light comes on... I was like FRICK! I stopped the machine, and I was about 20-30 minutes from the marina, so I didn't want to turn it off and risk getting stranded. So I begin riding back, and the machine didn't go over 30MPH! To add insult to injury, the machine won't go into NEUTRAL nor REVERSE. I get back to the docks, back the trailer down and DON'T EVEN ASK how I managed to get the machine perfectly loaded onto the trailer without neutral or reverse working (call it perfect timing and quick reflexes)... Haha!
Anyway, I look and the reverse bucket is stuck in the upward position. I strap it down, take it home and get on the phone with the dealer, telling them my issues and they said to bring it in. I vent the machine out, as I do after every trip, except even after 2 hours later, the engine compartment is still pretty damn warm! Another thing is when I went to check error codes, I just "touched" the DESS key to the post, WITHOUT even plugging it in, just gently held it to the post, the machine would fire up if I pressed the START/STOP button... Geeze! And some people complained their keys weren't being pushed in enough?? Mine just needs to touch the post and it works! At one point, I got P1658 but the next day I checked, before towing it to the dealer, and nothing on the ERROR CODES menu! Soooo wierd!
What could've happened out there on the water to have caused this? Was I hitting the waves too much and jabbing the throttle (not WOT or anything, just a slight jab to get a little air)? I used the IBR brakes earlier (and they worked perfectly fine), but of course I did NOT use them when I was jumping or doing donuts. Also, I had water going over almost the entire machine (not submarine, but pretty wet) when I was doing the donuts. Is that not a good idea?? I've done it before and may have just been lucky until that day. I'm not crazy or a stuntman or anything, in fact, I'm still getting used to this machine (1st PWC ever), so I don't really ride it hard, I was just having a little fun out there... I sure hope that this machine isn't so sensitive and that these problems won't happen again (even though I'll be more careful with it from now on).
I think that's enough talking... What's your opinion guys/gals?
The dealer was backed up pretty bad with people wanting to summerize their boats/PWC's, but I called today and its now in the shop and I was told that he'll give me a call tomorrow to let me know what's going on with it. Its under warranty so I'm not too concerned, but somehow a bit disappointed.
