Yamaha recommends a maintenance schedule that includes regular inspections every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first. This includes checking the engine oil, spark plugs, and cooling system, as well as lubricating moving parts and inspecting the hull and deck.
To winterize your Yamaha VX Cruiser HO, you should drain the fuel system, add a fuel stabilizer, fog the engine, remove the battery and store it in a cool dry place, and cover the WaveRunner to protect it from the elements.
Yamaha recommends using Yamalube 4W 10W-40 for the VX Cruiser HO engine, which is specially formulated for WaveRunner engines to provide superior lubrication and protection.
If your VX Limited HO is having starting issues, check the battery connections, ensure the battery is charged, inspect the spark plugs, and verify the fuel supply. If the problem persists, consult a Yamaha dealer.
To flush the cooling system, attach a garden hose to the flushing port, start the engine, and then turn on the water. Let it run for about 5 minutes, turn off the water, then stop the engine. Ensure all water is expelled before storage.
Common causes of overheating include a clogged intake grate, malfunctioning cooling system, low coolant levels, or a damaged impeller. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent these issues.
The impeller should be inspected annually or every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first. If there is noticeable damage or decreased performance, it should be replaced.
Before use, check the fuel and oil levels, ensure the battery is charged, inspect the hull for damage, verify the throttle and steering operations, and ensure all safety equipment is on board.
To improve fuel efficiency, maintain a steady speed, avoid rapid acceleration, ensure the hull is clean and free of debris, and keep the WaveRunner well-maintained following the recommended service schedule.
If your VX Limited HO gets waterlogged, immediately stop the engine, remove the WaveRunner from the water, and drain any water from the engine and compartments. Dry all components thoroughly and check for damage. Consult a professional if necessary.
