Yamaha FZR Waverunner 2009 Owner's Manual

The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the engine oil and coolant levels before each use, inspecting the hull and impeller for damage, and performing an oil change every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Additionally, it's important to check spark plugs and replace them if necessary, and perform a complete inspection of the jet pump and steering system annually.

If your Waverunner is having starting issues, check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the battery is fully charged and in good condition. Inspect the spark plugs for wear or damage and replace if needed. Additionally, check the fuel lines for clogs or leaks, and verify that the fuel is not stale.

First, check that the cooling water intake is not obstructed by debris or weeds. Ensure that the engine coolant level is adequate. Inspect the impeller and pump for blockages. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the thermostat or water pump checked by a professional.

To winterize your Waverunner, start by thoroughly cleaning and drying the exterior. Add fuel stabilizer to a full tank of gas and run the engine for a few minutes. Drain any water from the engine and cooling system. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Finally, cover the Waverunner with a breathable cover to protect it from dust and moisture.

The 2009 Yamaha FZR Waverunner typically uses Yamalube 4W 10W-40 FC-W engine oil, which is specifically formulated for marine engines. It's important to use the correct oil to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the engine.

To improve fuel efficiency, ensure the Waverunner is not overloaded and that the weight is evenly distributed. Maintain a steady throttle and avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration. Regularly check and maintain the engine and hull to ensure they are in optimal condition. Using high-quality fuel and keeping the fuel system clean can also help.

Excessive vibration can be caused by a damaged impeller or debris caught in the jet pump. Inspect the impeller for damage or foreign objects. Additionally, check the engine mounts for wear or loosening. If the issue persists, professional evaluation of the driveline components may be necessary.

Rinse the hull with fresh water after each use to remove salt, dirt, and debris. Use a mild marine soap and a soft brush for thorough cleaning. Inspect the hull for scratches or damage and address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration. Waxing the hull periodically can help protect the finish.

Power loss during acceleration can be caused by a clogged fuel filter, worn spark plugs, or water in the fuel. Inspect and replace the fuel filter and spark plugs if necessary. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh fuel and check for any signs of water contamination.

To prevent corrosion, rinse the Waverunner with fresh water after each use, especially if used in saltwater. Apply a corrosion inhibitor spray to metal components and ensure electrical connections are clean and protected. Regularly inspect and replace any corroded parts. Storing the Waverunner in a dry environment also helps reduce corrosion risk.
