                        Remember, for example, that the sound of
                        your watercraft may be music to you, but it

                        ECJ00432

                        Failure to perform the engine break-in
                        could result in reduced engine life or even
                        severe engine damage.
                        The engine break-in is essential to allow the
                        various components of the engine to  wear
                        and polish themselves to the correct operat-
                        ing clearances. This ensures proper perfor-
                        mance and promotes longer component life.
                        To perform the engine break-in:
                        (1) Check the engine oil level. (See page 60
                            for information on checking  the  engine
                            oil level.)
                        (2) Launch the watercraft and start the en-
                            gine. (See page 76 for information  on
                            starting the engine.)
                        (3) For the first 5 minutes, operate with the
                            engine at idling speed.
                        (4) For the next 30 minutes, operate with the
                            engine speed below 5000 r/min.
                        (5) For the next 1 hour, operate with the en-
                            gine speed below 6500 r/min.
                        After the engine break-in is complete, the wa-
                        tercraft can be operated normally.

                        Always avoid using your watercraft in areas
                        where weed growth is thick. If operating in
                        weeded areas is unavoidable,  alternately
                        squeeze the throttle lever and relax your grip
                        on the throttle lever to vary the engine speed.
                        Weeds tend to become clogged more when
                        operating at a steady speed and at trolling
                        speed. If weeds may have clogged the intake
                        area, clean the jet intake. (See page 101 for
                        information on the jet intake.)

                        bris  from the jet intake or  impeller area,

                        from the engine shut-off switch. Severe in-

                        If weeds or debris gets caught in the jet intake
                        or impeller, cavitation can occur, causing jet
                        thrust to decrease even though engine speed
                        rises. If this condition is allowed to continue,
                        the  engine will overheat and  may  seize.

                         WAVERUNNER  WATERCRAFT LIMITED WARRANTY
                        Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. hereby warrants that new Yamaha WaveRunner watercraft purchased from an authorized Yamaha
                        WaveRunner Watercraft Dealer in the United States (excluding its territories) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for

                        period.
                        OBTAINING REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. During the period of warranty, any authorized Yamaha WaveRunner Watercraft Dealer
                        will, free of charge, repair or replace, at Yamaha’s option, any part adjudged defective by Yamaha due to faulty workmanship or material
                        from the factory. All parts replaced under warranty will become the property of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.
                        THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY under this warranty shall be to:
                        1. Operate, maintain, and store the WaveRunner watercraft as specified in the appropriate Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, and

                          discovery, and make the machine available at that time for inspection and repairs at such dealer’s place of business.
                        GENERAL EXCLUSIONS from this warranty shall include any failures caused by:
                        a. Racing or competition use, modification of original parts, abnormal strain.
                        b. Lack of proper maintenance and off-season storage as described in the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual.
                        c. Installation of parts or accessories that are not equivalent in design and quality to genuine Yamaha parts.
                        d. Use of lubricants, oils, and fuels that are not suitable for WaveRunner watercraft use.
                        e. Damage as a result of accidents, collisions, contact with foreign materials, or submersion.

                        EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY.
                        Yamaha warrants to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent owner, that the exhaust emission control components on this engine
                        are designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with applicable regulations under section 213 of the Clean Air Act
                        and that this engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause said engine to fail to conform with applicable
                        regulations for 30 months from the date of purchase or 175 hours of operation, whichever comes first. For evaporative emission
                        components, for a failure that will increase evaporative emissions, the warranty coverage is 2 years from the date of purchase. Some
                        states may have different emission control warranty provisions. As these vary from state to state, consult your Yamaha dealer or contact

                        WARRANTY TRANSFER: To transfer the warranty from the original purchaser to any subsequent purchaser(s), it is imperative that the
                        WaveRunner watercraft be inspected and registered for warranty by an authorized Yamaha WaveRunner watercraft dealer. In order for
                        this warranty to remain in effect, this inspection and registration must take place within ten (10) days after transfer of ownership to the
                        subsequent purchaser. A reasonable dealer-imposed fee may be charged for this inspection.

                        IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHICH EXCEED THE

                        WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
                        Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
                        A. The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision dam-
                          ages.
                        Q. What are some examples of “abnormal” strain, neglect, or abuse?
                        A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include:
                          Running the watercraft out of oil, operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, and so
                          on. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your Yamaha dealer for advice.
                        Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as transportation due to a failure?
                        A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the watercraft itself.
                        Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual instead of having the dealer do
                          them?
                        A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner’s/Operator’s and Service Manual. We do rec-
                          ommend, however, that items requiring special or equipment be done by a Yamaha dealer.
                        Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new watercraft exactly as specified in the Owner’s/Opera-
                          tor’s Manual?
                        A. No. The warranty on a new watercraft cannot be “voided” or “cancelled”. However, if a particular failure is caused by operation
                          or maintenance other than as shown in the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.
                        Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
                        A. Each Yamaha dealer is expected to:
                          1.  Completely set up each new watercraft before sale.
                          2.  Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at
                             any later date. In addition, each Yamaha dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.
                        Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners?
                        A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an
                          authorized Yamaha dealer for the policy to remain effective.
                        CUSTOMER SERVICE
                        If your watercraft requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha dealer within the continental United States. Be

                                       YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)

                        Keep your Yamaha protected even after your  warranty expires  with genuine Yamaha Extended
                        Service (Y.E.S.).
                        • Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor Corporation to provide maximum owner
                          satisfaction. You get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.

                        • Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that is right for you: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, or
                          (on four-stroke models) 48 months beyond your warranty period.
                        • Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same Yamaha people who handle your warranty—
                          and it shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Cover-
                          age is not limited to “moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers
                          manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha dealer to
                          see how comforting uninterrupted factory-backed protection can be.

                        • You do not have to pay anything for covered repairs. There is no deductible to pay, and repairs
                          are not “pro-rated.” You do not have any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered repairs.
                        • In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection (TRIP) is included at no extra cost.
                          TRIP gives you up to $250 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable expenses you
                          incur  because your Yamaha needs  covered service: replacement  vehicle rental,  emergency
                          towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are away from home. This superb cover-
                          age goes into effect when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty repairs as well as
                          covered repairs during your entire Y.E.S. plan period.
                        • Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.

                        • Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to  a  new owner if you sell or trade-in. That can  make your
                          Yamaha much more valuable!

                        This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to Yamaha owners like you, and only while
                        your Yamaha is still within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your authorized Yamaha
                        dealer to get all the facts. He can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha
