Awesome video man! Watching all the way from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 I just took delivery of a ‘23 spark and I’m having so much fun on it, had it remapped to 110hp does 80kmh. Best bang for buck ski on the market
Thank you! It's just the genuine dji 'osmo action chest mount'. It has a decent amount of adjustment, fits over my jetpilot wake life jacket easy enough. If you're on the larger side with a bulky life jacket it may not work out as well.
You can definitely feel that swim platform dragging, the 2up is definitely more nimble. Definitely requires a little bit more effort on the 3up but is still not bad
What do you recommend for breaking it in? I haven’t driven mine once yet as I’m in Wisconsin 🇺🇸 and still got ice on the lakes lol. Just wanting to know how to break it in and if it’s okay to use in the cold water once the ice melts?
Normally breaking it in. Is like taking it easy for the first 5 or 10 hours, not ringing its guts out. Then just gradually increase your speed. But it’s probably up to you really.
I was told the engine management does it all for you, that it restricts power for 5 hours to ease the engine in. Just take it somewhat easy in the first 5 hours and it'll be sweet. They're reliable motors.
I broke in my 2021 and 2022 models and I believe according to the manufacturers recommendations, don’t hold a steady throttle; feather it ever so slightly always, don’t use more than 2/3 or 3/4 throttle. And do that for the first 15 hours. Also manufacturer recommends oil change at 50 hours, some cases people have flaky oil, most of it caught in the filters. Just excess ring material and other imperfections that were worn off in the break in. I didn’t have any of that with either of mine. But I’d recommend oil change at 50 hours or the end of the season.
These are nice on calm waters like this, the Spark are terrible in rougher water, one of the worst rough riding PWC available. Awesome fuel economy however
@Mike Neu You need to have your upper body weight on the inside edge of the ski kinda towards the front, to pull it over after a hard flick and throttle of the tail end. No throttle needed when its on its side. Water has to be smooth too, its hard to find the sweet spot on the hull, most times I fail.
