    Test driving 223 vrx tomorrow, need input ASAP

    Top speed I have seen with 4 adults and 5 kids was 57mph....fuel, well not so good....if just cruising and wakeboarding I can get two days out of a tank (see threads about tank not filling all the way up)....if wide open you can literally watch the fuel gauge decrease. That said, you can truly...

    Test driving 223 vrx tomorrow, need input ASAP

    Boat is doing well, last summer so rainy over the weekends it was a horrible boating season for us. The factory cover broke over winter (the strap from the wakeboard tower ripped free) causing water to pool in the cover and then spill into the boat causing some mold growth on the cushions...

    rotax error 2245

    Just to close the loop on this topic....it was the Lambda oxygen sensor. Took over 3 weeks to get answers and approvals from Rotax to fix. Once dealer authorized to open her up and replace, found it heavily torn up (his words), got the Ok to replace BOTH sides as the other was just as bad. He...

    Gas not filling up all the way

    I as well can only fill to about 3/4 to 7/8ths on the gas gauge. Have had a medallion swap out already for this issue but no fix. Agree that at wide open I can suck down serious fuel and would don't know if I'm really full on fuel or actually only 3/4 full. Have NEVER seen the gas gauge...

    2018 Chaparral Vortex 2430 VRX Issues

    Just an update, BRP finally gave permission to fix. While dealer had the exhaust open, he looked at the other engine's oxygen sensor and found both of them "eaten up" and had both sides replaced under warranty. He did learn that BRP now recommends a newer flushing method over what he was taught...

    Chap Aluminum trailer

    Getting my Coyote trailer fixed for my 223 VRX was a nightmare...unreturned phone calls and emails, my dealer was so frustrated. Had continual issues of 3 of the 4 hubs ejecting the grease over and over, every trip out....sizzling hot hubs, grinding sounds, frozen and dragging wheels after...
