How to Repair a Speedometer for a Jet Ski Stx1100

The STX-1100 Jet Ski is a personal water craft (PWC) manufactured by Kawasaki. The STX-1100 can reach high speeds, which can be fun on open water. However, in smaller inlets, canals or bays there are no wake zones, so it is crucial that the driver be able to tell how fast they are going. This is done via the speedometer gauge. If the connections to the gauge are in order but the gauge will not work, it should be replaced.
