Important Aspects of Yamaha WaveRunner Maintenance

How often internal maintenance needs to be performed depends greatly on how much and how often you use your WaveRunner. However, service should be performed minimally annually.

Oil & Filter Change

Yamaha WaveRunners use Yamalube 10W-40 Watercraft Oil. PartsVu's Yamaha WaveRunner service kits include the proper oil, oil amount, and oil filter.

Cooling System Care

While you should flush your Yamaha WaveRunner after every saltwater use (and very regularly if you ride on freshwater), it’s crucial to pay extra attention during annual maintenance. Regular flushing prevents buildup that could lead to overheating or corrosion. If you ride in saltwater, in addition to flushing with freshwater, use a high-quality salt remover like Salt Off. 

Inspect & Replace Spark Plugs

Check your Yamaha WaveRunner spark plugs for fouling or corrosion and replace them as needed.

Inspect the Fuel System

Look for cracks or leaks in the fuel lines. To prevent fuel compromise, use Yamalube Fuel Stabilizer & Conditioner or Yamalube® Fuel Med RX.

Check & Replace Air Filter

Replace or clean your Yamaha WaveRunner air filter as needed for optimal performance. Personal watercraft can be particularly susceptible to air filter blockage, so this should be checked regularly.

Jet Pump & Impeller Examination

Inspect the impeller and wear ring for damage, dings, or debris that could compromise performance. Make sure to grease the pump bearing to ensure smooth operation.

Battery Maintenance

Regularly inspect your Yamaha WaveRunner battery for charge level and terminal corrosion. For long-term storage, use a trickle charger to make sure that you are ready to go at the start of the next season.

Hull & Exterior Maintenance

Regularly inspect the hull of your Yamaha WaveRunner for damage, or scratches. Clean with high-quality boat soap and apply marine-grade wax. Also, drain plugs should be replaced every few years to prevent leaks. This replacement is a cheap way to prevent big problems for your personal watercraft down the road

Steering & Controls Inspection

Check your WaveRunner's steering and throttle cables for wear or binding. Use Yamalube marine grease to lubricate linkages and moving parts.

Safety Equipment Check

Make sure your Yamaha WaveRunner's kill switch, kill switch lanyard, and emergency shut-off features are in good working order. Also, check your fire extinguisher, PFDs, and other critical boat safety gear.
