I have 2 WaveRunners, and I'll be honest with you, I don't really know how to service it... I'm sure there is some similarities to other vehicles, just don't know where to start or what to do properly...

Any of you own any who could point me in the right direction?

 

[phucknutz]

Call me crazy but i would start by purchasing a service manual

 

[ceballos]

figured i'd ask for any tips

Sorry but all i can help with on that issue is what kind of oil to use! LOL

Good luck though and let us know how it goes

Does the owner know you have it? Ask him/her.



KIDDING!

Now I know this is a PITA, but I would just join a forum about them to be safe. This could save you a lot of time in doing things the hard way.

I hope this helps.

 

[ceballos]

lol.. yea i joined a couple, but still no replies.. just thought I'd ask here as well in case any of you own one

What kind are they? My buddy had a couple of sea-do's. They were pretty reliable when he wasn't running them into fixed objects.

Check here. There are some really good Yamaha owners there that could probably help!

Take care

Sounds about right since you wouldn't want to just drain it into the hull.

 

[mrhonda700xx]

Yeah, They Told Me That At The Dealer But For $100 An Hour Ill Buy The Pump And Do It Myself..

 

[gavineli]

A freind ofmine had 2 jetskis and when he took them in to get serviced it had a total cost of around 275.00 imo it was worth that just because of the pia it is to do it yourself

 

[mrhonda700xx]

Yeah the pump to take out the oil I saw it for 20 dollars at academy..

I own 2 Honda Aquatrax. Basically I changed the oil before each season, lube all the important parts (turbo housing, pump, shaft, steering components), and change the plugs(fogging oil kills plugs). Fill it back up with some 92+ and run out the old. They are 2003 models (both turbo) that I bought in 2005 and have had ZERO problems.

mine were a nightmare to service. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I had 2 XLT 1200's they were 2002's

Our local Honda dealership has brand new 07 model Aquatrax for 6500$ off MSRP. I can't decide between it or another XX for the fiance. As everyone else mentioned, Unless your familiar with the machine I'd have it taken in to get serviced.

IMO - not bashing any owners of PWC here, but I think they are a money pit.

I would love to have a big one, It would be perfect for a small family. You could ride two or three people and tow a board. I've never owned one but I think most problems come from not keeping them up as needed then having to shell out for major repairs. Most of them are two stroke, correct?
