I’ve changed my oil every year since I’ve owned it, but I always come to TH-cam to refresh my memory and to pick up some tips and tricks. You just earned my sub! Appreciate the video, and the advanced video. Do you happen to have a link for the valve/hose adapter you use for running on land? That is neat.
My Yamaha it’s 2022 50 hrs I use at the river or lake no salt water whatsoever and got a temperature and check engine light on recently any hints will be appreciated
If you where pushing high RPMs for an extend period of time that can happen. If it doesn't overheat at ide or with extend use at mid RPM range there is likely nothing wrong. If it is overheating at ide or midrange then I would flush it using a garden hose (Engine running). If that does not correct the problem all of cooling lines should be checked for clogs and also check the anode rod. Thanks for watching!
Fair point. I can't remember exactly why I had to do that. I'm assuming that it was not completely full. When you completely drain all the oil out from the reservoir and bottom of the engine, it takes exactly 3 quarts (1.5 quarts in the reservoir and engine). Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, if you have to add a large amount of oil it should split between the two. A typical top off should only be a few ounces and can just be added to the reservoir. Thanks for watching!
Is it possible to put too much oil in the dipstick and get a higher reading than it actually is? I only put back just under 3 total quarts and my dipstick is still reading at the full mark. I put about 2.5 into the dipstick. I feel like it should be reading lower. Engine takes 3.6 quarts..
It is possible, but what I would do is run the engine and recheck. If you put the correct amount in, that will even out the amount of oil in the engine and reservoir. Thanks for watching!
So I took your advice and bought the pump. But I didn’t get any manual on my 2018ex. Not sure the correct way to check oil. Haha but I just put it in the water and I didn’t see anything on the stick. I caught another video about running it first so I took it out for 20 min (good and hot) now I checked it and I could see oil when I took the yellow stick out. as if it’s way too full. So is it important just to let it run 3-5 min only then ck it??? Help pls.
I cover it in my oil change video: th-cam.com/video/zKBXVlYFIIs/w-d-xo.html Yes you need to let it idle for 5 - 10 minutes. after running on the water before before checking the level. I suspect the level is close to correct based on your description.
Where did u get your fire extinguisher I’ve been having trouble with trying to find one for mine bought my 18 with low hours and dealer days out of stock
@@andysgarageadventures8043 yeah realised my partner was in the bloody shower when I was trying to flush it and had no water pressure to the garden hose lol it’s all good! Thanks for the reply tho
Start it, give it a couple of revs, keep it below 1500 RPMs. It is ok to run it out of the water for 15 seconds. If it sounds ok, there are not any warnings and it is not smoking, check the oil. If the oil is clean I would buy it. The TR1 motor is really solid and Yamaha makes a really good machine. Nothing is 100% but the above steps will eliminate the really bad things. Thanks for watching!
@andysgarageadventures8043 we can run water but they won't let me test run because it's never seen saltwater I should be okay going out on a limb on this one my first ski
@@michaelstanton556 Run it with the hose connected for 5 minutes. If you don't get any warnings and it sounds ok, running it on the open want will not likely reveal anything more then the hose test. Good luck!
The water is ingested into the machine and exits two ways. The first way is to pass through a series of water jackets throughout the engine plus other components and exits from the outlet on the side of the machine. The second way is out the exhaust. The exhaust gasses get mixed with the water exiting that way. If the engine is not running, it is posable to fill the exhaust system with water and have it backflow into the cylinders through the exhaust valve(s). A bad gasket that is part of the water jacket system is the other possibility but less common. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Best video I've found, thanks, I'm ready!
Thank you, this was so helpful! We bought our first 2 wave runners and I was wondering how to maintain it. Thank you!

I thought whatever oil you take out is exactly what you put back in, how come you pulled out about 1.5 quarts but put back over 2 quarts?

I've heard Yamaha recommends filling oil at two places the dipstick and the valve top area about 1.3Qt each..
Yes, if you have to add a large amount of oil it should split between the two. A typical top off should only be a few ounces and can just be added to the reservoir. Thanks for watching!
I have 2021 Yamaha ex Sport. Is it the same steps for the first oil change as show here in your video?
Yes the steps will be the same. Thanks for watching!
You have a plant to do a winterizing video have same model would be helpful
Yes, I'm filming it this weekend, it should be available next week. Thanks for watching!
When the oil is empty, how many quarts do you put in it so it is on the full mark?
4 quarts. Thanks for watching!
Hello! Tell me please, how much time I can run engine with water, for 15, 30 or 60 minutes with no damage engine and shaft seal? Thank you
I generally try to keep it under 5 minutes. Thanks for watching!
I noticed your oil level was high from factory. Any idea why it was that high?
Dealer prep done wrong unfortunately. Thanks for watching!

How much quarts of oil does this jet ski hold ?
3 quarts. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Did you review the handpump ?or did I miss that part
Five stars, it works really well. I now own two. Thanks for watching!
How come when I went to flush my motor the water wouldn’t come out the side port?
When you last had it in the water, did it come out of the side port?
@@andysgarageadventures8043 yeah realised my partner was in the bloody shower when I was trying to flush it and had no water pressure to the garden hose lol it’s all good! Thanks for the reply tho
What is the oil filter part number?
5GH-13440-61. Thanks for watching!
Biying a 21 yamaha ex sport with 11 hrs freshwater only but im scared because no water test will i be okay $7500??

Does the ex sport have a neutral
It has a reverse but no neutral. Thanks for watching.
Yea it has neutral just tap the reverse trigger very fast
No the sport model doesn't have neutral
Is the E x. a good wave runner ?
My opinion it yes. Very reliable and a reasonable price point. Thanks, for watching and commenting.
Do you know if this is the same process for the 2021 models? Also can I use amsoil marine instead?
Yes, the 2021s are still using the same TR1 engines. I also have a video on the advanced steps you might want to consider watching.
You can use other marine oils as long as they meet the Yamaha required specs.
How will it fill the engine with water?

Can’t you use any oil that meets the standards or do you have to use the overpriced yamalube?
You can absolutely use any oil that meets the standards, thanks for watching.
I have to be disagree with you whatever you change your oil you change your filter don't be cheap have a good day
