++ Good CLEAR video - MIRROR was a great addition to see all the bolt locations - missing a few steps on reassembling gears although it should be opposite of assembling. Not sure what you meant by holes going in the same way. They rotate don't they? So you mean in the same front-to-back location? I installed the shaft reinforcement - pretty easy. EXCEPT the OIL line thing is not nearly as easy as it appears. Sorta tricky to get the oil T installed and then the oil sender and then the wire to that. Not a lot of room to wiggle. Also use Teflon tape, not just sealant on the added line fittings. I used multiple layers to get it all secure. Instructions make it sound like you don't need it tight. BS. Just noticed my clutch is acting intermittent. Sorta weird. Only starts engaging after I try about 4 times and then the rest of the day it's fine. So your video helped me a lot getting ready. Might just do the bearing since my gears are fine.

Hola querido amigo, te saludo desde Argentina, tu video es genial, quería saber si tengo alguna duda en particular si puedo consultarte. Muchas gracias!
Nice video, I got a 2023 year model. I’m pretty sure it’s the clutch. When your clutch was failing did you notice it being difficult to start up in the water? Basically didn’t want to start because it wasn’t making enough boost if that makes sense.
Thank you! When mine failed it was wide open throttle and failed very suddenly. It did start right up with the only issue being the power loss. Like so slow🐢🐢🐢 I know Yamahas occasionally have a tough time starting after they warm up.. Have you tried new spark plugs yet.
No I haven’t put new sparks plugs in. I thought it was the battery since it has Slow engine crank to it. I normally change my spark plugs at 10 hours intervals and I’m already at around 65 hours on engine. The plugs might be 5 hours over, I’ll give that a try. But even when it cranks and runs my blow off valve doesn’t sound the same as before like it doesn’t get enough air. I will change the spark plugs and see what that does. If that doesn’t fix it I will take the air filter off to get access to the inlet of the supercharger to see if I have any back spin. If I know the supercharger to spinning both ways thens it’s the clutch.
Well I changed the spark plugs and the battery still doing the same thing. Took it out today, drove for 30 minutes, and hopped in the lake. When getting back on the ski wouldn’t start. I tried starting it a hand full of times, after the 4th time it finally cranked, but weak. I believe its the starter now. You think a bad starter could cause performance issues as well?
Good video, I am 90 percent sure mine went out, was at the lake yesterday ran good for the 1st lap. Then bam took a crap on me. Made it back to the marina slow and when I gave it gas it shook bad, so slow and easy back to the dock. Did you have about the same experience?
I had this exact experience with a 2023 fx svho. It would idle fine but shake BAD under throttle. Turns out the wire pin INSIDE my injector connector was broken. 40 hours on my ski when it happened.
If you have access to ethanol free gas, that would be best option. As for the one way bearing in the supercharger clutch, it can be replaced and is a much cheaper option for the oem one.
What a great DIY video on this repair man! Question for you. When you pull the rubber hose off of the front of the supercharger and spin the blades on the SC fan are those supposed to be able to spin left and right freely or does the clutch prevent it from spinning in one direction if the clutch is good?
The blow off valve does help but unfortunately the Yamaha super charger shafts are weak and need to be upgraded to the Riva Racing Supercharger Shaft upgrade kit. Best option for reliability
I have a Yamaha FX SVHO it only runs up to 6k rpm and I don’t hear or feel the supercharger. I changed air filter oil spark plugs do you think that it is the clutch that has failed? After about an hour of riding the supercharger turns on and holds but it needs a while before it can turn on and still won’t always stay on. Thanks
@@AlboboyzSounds like your supercharger clutch could be slowly going out. Mine went instantly when I was on the water. So slightly suspect for yours. Try messaging Jerry or his son at www.4-tecperformance.com Boys at Riva Racing could help too
Yeah my 2014 SVHO FX cruiser with 289 hours on it. Took it out and had very little power. Felt like limp mode and even limp mode felt slower. I got back to shore slowly now it’s getting diagnosed. Feels like a bad supercharger.. starts up right away ..no knocking or horrible noises..other than it seems a vibration from S/C area
What is the torque for the six bolts that hold the supercharger to the block? 4 of the bolts are M8 and 2 are M6 so guessing there are two different torques.
Well I believe they are all awesome. My next ski will be a SeaDoo. So I will have both. The kawi 310 is also nice but not too sure how many aftermarket parts are available but all are good skis.
just had the same thing happen to mine this weekend. You said a 'newer" version of the gear. do you have a part number or location where I should purchase mine?
There is a rebuild kit on Riva Racing for the Yamaha supercharger. See link below rivaracing.com/riva-yamaha-supercharger-shaft-upgrade-kit-ry17040-uk-6s5-4.html
@@QuadStar721 thank you for the reply will consider looking into that after I chamo the prop hopefully those week and see how it runs then was going towards the clutch , will inspect way it spins when I’ll work on the prop . Thank you !
Part number for supercharger holding tool is 612-92012 and can be purchased on Amazon for cheap. As for the supercharger clutch I went to 4-tecperformance.com and bought it there in a kit. Comes with the gasket and new screws for the timing chain tensioner

You're welcome
I took out the one-way bearing but my seems to be working fine I'm not going past 40 miles an hour.
When I use the fogger my engine does not choke out. Lose RPM what do you think
If you have access to ethanol free gas, that would be best option. As for the one way bearing in the supercharger clutch, it can be replaced and is a much cheaper option for the oem one.
Thx. I only have 36,hrs and I need to do that. I'm po at Yamaha of course pass the warranty
Yikes! Well let me know if I can be of any help
Nice video.
Could you change the timing chain with the engine just stripped this much ? Instead of having to remove it from the hull
Not sure you can. Check with JP Racing. He might have a vid up for that one
What a great DIY video on this repair man! Question for you. When you pull the rubber hose off of the front of the supercharger and spin the blades on the SC fan are those supposed to be able to spin left and right freely or does the clutch prevent it from spinning in one direction if the clutch is good?

If the clutch is good should only spin one way as it has a direct connection with the motor

@@brandonhenderson7020 yea but you also spent 10 times the money and the gp would clap it’s cheeks

The kawi 310 is also nice but not too sure how many aftermarket parts are available but all are good skis.
When i placed my the engine holder tool, I wasn't able to line it able with the hole to bolt in place is that normal?

4-tecperformance.com has it. It is a 27-Sprag clutch. This is the updated version for your supercharger
If you tilt the ski way back on the trailer you dont have to drain the oil but great job not spinning the motor backwards thats a bad mistake to make
I did try tilting the ski but didn’t work for me so had to drain the oil. Lol😅
when we say ''supercharger rebuilt'' what do guys mean by that ? '' piston head gasket ? or its just the chargers in it ?
There is a rebuild kit on Riva Racing for the Yamaha supercharger. See link below

Seems I only can do about 50 mph do you think my clutch is not good anymore , 182 hrs on it
Might want to do a compression test first. Usually when the clutch goes it goes fast. Not a gradual thing.

Where did you get the Kit?
I purchased it from
4-tecperformance.com
How many hrs before it failed?
It went out at about 135 hours. I believe it helped having a blow off valve installed or may have failed sooner
@@QuadStar721 ride in chop?
I made it 217 before it let go. Stock ski with a hks blow off valve..
@shaunrigby6599 riding in chop (unhook, rehook) kills them faster, smooth water no major stress. Ultra system is simply better
Mine went out with 75 hours again at 140 hours
