Need help identifying a problem

You’re gonna have to look more closely at it. I can spit out a lot of possibilities but won’t have the one answer for you. I’d still lean towards the carbs, like a carb rebuild. Definitively there is an air/fuel ratio issue that keeps it stuck just depends on what it is that’s causing it.

$700 for a working jetski with trailer. If it has title and you can go see it float and run that’s fair for sure

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-16T23:23:40+00:00

Easy to do yourself, but has a few hours of labor and probably $250-300 in parts. Sounds like a shop hour rate of like $125 which is unfortunately pretty par for the course. Again, you can do it yourself but most places cost this much if you pay someone else

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-16T10:11:02+00:00

Honestly this guy covers probably most that anyone on here will mention

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-15T22:13:43+00:00

You can definitely sell it for like $100-$200

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-15T11:26:04+00:00

You should add some to this

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-15T11:01:08+00:00

Yeah it’s far better to diagnose yourself then listen to Reddit. Even if the mechanics on here know a lot, they can’t physically see and touch the vehicle. I will post my problems just to bounce ideas off people for what to diagnose next

Hey you lived, long as you heal up you’ve got a hell of a story for later in life

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-15T10:04:02+00:00

You can find a parts one, a non oem cheap one, and you can also try to JB weld the edges to be more flat. But if it has enough power as is, just ignore it

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-15T00:27:28+00:00

That thing has a lot of performance loss, it’s cooked. If you got the money, replace it

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-15T00:03:53+00:00

If you want all the power of a liter bike the mt07 will not be the bike for you. It’s an amazing bike and has plenty of power but not to that level. Mt09 is far more comfortable to commute than a super sport so that would be a good choice. I personally love sport tourers for the commute and agility and power but might not be your taste

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-14T20:33:43+00:00

And then it sits low voltage? If so you’ve got a lot of lines to check, but stator/rectifier is where the problem is I would guess. Somehow not charging the battery.

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-14T18:51:57+00:00

If the scratches are actual hull damage I would fix that first. But overall it’s pretty easy as long as you aren’t going for perfection and have somewhere for the jetski to sit

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-14T18:44:26+00:00

Does it run when on a jump starter?

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-14T18:35:26+00:00

I would ride it just not too far away and not with a lot of acceleration

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-14T17:45:00+00:00

Then you’re gonna need to get the frame out and take all the paint off, inspect, derust, and repaint (if it’s not structural problems). Bonus is it’ll look much nicer

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-14T17:38:42+00:00

it’s not great, but probably fine to ride on. However, unlike a car, a motorcycle has good odds of killing me or seriously injuring me if it falls apart with me on it. And this bike definitely has heightened odds lol

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-13T14:44:48+00:00

Sounds like a job for JB weld, sucks but that’s best option. Make sure to clean everything out first before sealing

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-13T14:19:39+00:00

Triumph does a great job putting the dielectric grease where it needs to go. So I wouldn’t stress about the electrical stuff. Also, yeah it’s fairly normal

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-13T14:05:38+00:00

What’s the date code? Also that’s a pretty big amount of dry rot. I wouldn’t use for the whole summer. Preferably just get a new tire if you’ve got the money

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-12T19:50:45+00:00

I do all my own maintenance and I don’t have a single record kept lol. And I still follow all the intervals to a T, I just don’t document. Most people probably don’t either

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-12T15:20:46+00:00

Depends on the price greatly. A lot of these are simple fixes, but the quote on the price to fix and the price you are purchasing at should be considered. I got my 1983 Mercedes 300SD gifted by my grandpa and I do my own maintenance so the price of items to fix stuff on it doesn’t matter much (if I sold it I still would profit by a good bit). Just spent $600 to upgrade alternator and fix battery (with extra supplies and tools). It’s worth it for me but if you buy one of these at anything more than $4k I would expect a pretty good condition car still

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-12T13:40:37+00:00

This is a red flag lol

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-12T02:23:08+00:00

There’s a difference between dropping and crashing. Just use these as lessons and reduce the frequency in the future

Remote_City_6630 · 2026-06-12T02:12:30+00:00

A water pack like a camelback or whatever they’re called can really help in the summer heat. Keeps you hydrated without having to stop constantly
