Yup, my-bad for using the "recall" terminology - I agree to what your dealer explains being the general differences.
So I guess my point on post 88, is that Yamaha had fixed the firmware (software...

For the record, always hated the fob. Never use it. Never trust a micro-battery on a fun day. I leave mine unlocked, pretend there's no security. I do have a battery cut-out switch mod, that could...

I've been following this thread... don't feel drstaind has this so-called recall issue... as recalls are applied/fixed in consecutive years. Could be a one-off here. Or new issue. Just sayin'

Well, 20/20 hind-sight here ... your original post here sounds a lot like the classic throttle-body dampner leak issue (before the redesign of 2018 - I think) where-in the rubber...

I hope to be dropping a 1.8L NA into my SUV later this year (time permitting). It will be my 1st SUV conversion attempt, and I'd become one of the few doing a 1.8L. Although not my 1st at...

This topic comes up very often here for Yamaha owners. Take a look at the feedback given on this recent post :

Bottom-line - Yamaha's are painted...

This might be country-specific, but most countries have protections/provisions that protect the consumer when it comes to self-maintenence work.
99.9% of the time, doing your own service will not...

Also consider the moment a scratch (through the vinyl) were to occur below the water-line ... the water pressure from riding would simply get forced into said scratch, essentially "unwrapping" the...

I think that comment right there is the core of the issue ... it's introspective.
I know on the surface, this thread-topic's question seems tangible .. aka parts, tools, patience, aptitude,...

I remember that thread. Agreed, for those that want one of the ultimate in tenders, you'd be hard-pressed to find something better than a BatteryMinder.
Yet don't let NOT owning a BatteryMinder...

I agree with Steve45 as well. Plus, I'd not feel so safe having a 120v power cord inside or even on top of the craft. Try keeping things out of the hull, out from between the tarp/cover, out of the...

I took a look at the online parts-fiche diagram "Ventilation" section 2018, and it appears there are just 2 flexible duct hoses that route to the lowest hull region open-air ended, so unless water...

I'll give a "B+" for outside box thinking ... however, I think it goes without saying that the waterbox/water-lock component is much more than just a noise-suppression device... it's a big...

All due respect, slightly off-topic there ... while you are generally correct about the nozzle-to-handbar steering slack... that's not the topic of discussion here.... rather the OP is/was...

scittb is correct. The 'play' is very likely coming from the height adjustment mechanism, and they get looser with time & use. Yes the 2009 & 2012 share the same general components, but being newer...

That's great advice by Pete. The only other "Pro" I'd like to add is that the plastic wear ring comes slightly more thick, as I understand that is supposedly deliberate, as once installed, the...

Yup - sounded like a software/firmware glitch with the way the dash averaged fuel sender signals, to me.

Agreed, we need to know year and model, also any history, like is this a used craft you've recently acquired?

FWIW, I have an older FX model service manual, and the OEM circuit paths indicates the...

2020's are obviously included in the recall, yet limited - aka "certain 2020 FB1800 ... FC1800" FX models. Sounds like they might have found/fixed the issue mid-year to me.

As for 2021 & up,...

Yes, it is highly desired. It helps to protect the 2 aft-facing shaft seals from water-hammering abuse transmitted from the pump tunnel intake cavity.
Like said already ... it can be slipped-on...

Okay, not a 2009 VX ... no worries. Disregard ALL of my above post as it does not apply to your craft. :facepalm:
Well, all but the part about compression checks - that never hurts.

Not sure if you've mistyped the year of the engine model, but TR1s (3-cyl 1050cc) came out in 2016. Therefore, if the year is correct, that craft will have a MR1 4-cyl.

Best-case scenario, MR1s...

Yes – correct blower.
And if you ever find a “better” blower, please keep me in the loop just in case this one dies on me in the future.
As “sealed” as the blowers say the are, if you get one,...

Agreed, the bilge pump mod is an outright must-do, yet there’s more . . . other things to consider when attempting to make a PWC more offshore-worthy include increasing the exhaust and coolant loop...

Glad you brought this up ... being a long-time boat owner, this particular PWC - given its many mods (specifically open-air battery terminal posts) - does have an ignition-proof blower installed. It...
