Cruising limitations
Scan constantly for people, objects, and
other watercraft. Be alert for conditions
that limit your visibility or block your vision
of others.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft.
Do not follow directly behind watercraft or
other boats.
Do not go near others to spray or splash
them with water, go too close to other
boats, or go too fast for the traffic condi-
tions.
EX / EX SPORT: Take early action to avoid
collisions. Remember, watercraft and other
boats do not have brakes.
EX / EX SPORT: Avoid sharp turns or other
maneuvers that make it hard for others to
avoid you or understand where you are go-
ing.
EX DELUXE / EX LIMITED: Take early ac-
tion to avoid collisions. Remember, water-
craft and other boats do not have brakes.
In addition, the Reverse with Intuitive De-
celeration Electronics (RiDE) system is not
a braking device for avoiding dangerous
situations. The RiDE system is an electron-
ic system for controlling the engine speed
and reverse gate, which is located near the
jet thrust nozzle. The RiDE lever located atthe left handlebar grip can be used to
change the direction of the jet thrust so that
the watercraft moves in reverse or is in neu-
tral. The RiDE system assists the operator
when slowing down and during slow-
speed maneuvering, such as launching,
beaching, and docking.
EX DELUXE / EX LIMITED: Avoid sharp
turns, slowing down rapidly by squeezing
the RiDE lever forcefully, and other maneu-
vers that make it hard for others to avoid
you or understand where you are going.
Avoid areas with submerged objects or
shallow water.
Do not release the throttle lever when trying
to steer away from objects—as with other
powerboats, you need throttle to steer. Al-
ways check throttle and steering controls
before starting the watercraft.
Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-
sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of
control, ejection, and collision.
This is a high performance boat—not a toy.
Avoid aggressive operation, sharp turns,
and unexpected acceleration that can
cause you to be thrown off. Do not jump
waves or wakes—jumping can cause inju-
ries such as back or spinal injuries (paraly-
sis), facial injuries, and broken legs, ankles,
and other bones. Improper operation can
result in severe injury or death.
Do not operate the watercraft in rough wa-
ter, bad weather, or when visibility is poor;
this may lead to an accident causing injury
or death. Be alert to the possibility of ad-
verse weather. Take note of weather fore-
casts and the prevailing weather
conditions before setting out on your wa-
tercraft.
As with any water sport, you should not op-
erate your watercraft without someone else

in certain kinds of accidents and that it
could injure you in others.
A helmet is designed to provide some head
protection. Although helmets cannot pro-
tect against all foreseeable impacts, a hel-
met might reduce your injuries in a collision
with a boat or other obstacle.
A helmet may have potential safety haz-
ards, as well. Falling into the water could
risk the chance of the helmet catching wa-
ter, commonly known as “bucketing”, and
the resulting strain on your neck could
cause choking, severe and permanent
neck injuries, or death. A helmet could also
increase the risk of an accident if it reduces
your vision or hearing, or if it distracts you
or increases your fatigue.
How should you decide if a helmet’s poten-
tial safety benefits outweigh its potential
risks for you? Consider your particular rid-
ing conditions. Consider factors such as
your riding environment and your riding
style and ability. Also consider the likeli-
hood of traffic congestion, and the water
surface conditions.
If you decide to wear a helmet based upon
your riding circumstances, choose one
carefully. Look for a helmet designed for
personal watercraft use, if possible. If you
will be engaging in closed-course competi-
tion, follow the helmet requirements of the
sanctioning organization.
Never operate the watercraft after consum-
ing alcohol or taking other drugs.
For reasons of safety and proper care of
the watercraft, always perform the pre-op-
eration checks listed on page 48 before op-
erating the watercraft.
The operator should grip the handlebars
firmly with both hands and the passengers
should hold on firmly, either to the person in front of them or to the handgrip provid-
ed.
The operator and passengers should al-
ways keep their feet on the floor of the foot-
well when the watercraft is in motion.
Lifting your feet increases the chances of
losing your balance,
or hitting objects out-
side the watercraft with your feet. Do not
give a ride to children if their feet cannot
reach the floor of the footwell.
Never allow a passenger to ride in front of
the operator.
Always consult your doctor on whether it is
safe for you to ride this watercraft if you are
pregnant or in poor health.
Do not attempt to modify this watercraft.
Modifications to your watercraft may re-
duce safety and reliability, and render the
watercraft unsafe or illegal for use.
Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to
y o u r l ef t w r is t an d k ee p i t fr e e f r o m t h e h an -
dlebars so that the engine stops if you, the
operator, fall off. After riding, remove the
engine shut-off cord (lanyard) from the wa-
tercraft to avoid accidental starting or un-
authorized use by children or others.

EX SPORT: Do not use the reverse function
to slow down or stop the watercraft as it
could cause you to lose control, be eject-
ed, or impact the handlebars.
This could increase the risk of back/spinal
injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and broken
legs, ankles, and other bones. You could
also damage the shift mechanism.
EX SPORT: Reverse can be used to slow
down or stop during slow-speed maneu-
vering, such as when docking. Once the
engine is idling, shift into reverse and grad-
ually increase engine speed. Make sure
that there are no obstacles or people be-
hind you before shifting into reverse.
EX DELUXE / EX LIMITED: This watercraft
is water-jet propelled. The jet pump is di-
rectly connected to the engine. This means
that jet thrust will produce some movement
whenever the engine is running and the “F”
(forward) or “R” (reverse) shift indicator is
displayed. When the “N” (neutral) shift indi-
cator is displayed, the forward and reverse
thrust are balanced to help keep the water-
craft from moving in either direction, al-
though some movement may occur.
EX DELUXE / EX LIMITED: To avoid rear-
end collisions while operating the water-
craft, check behind you before using the
RiDE lever to slow down or stop the water-craft. Make sure that there are no obstacles
or people behind you before shifting into
reverse.
Keep away from the intake grate while the
engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose
clothing, or PFD straps can become entan-
gled in moving parts, resulting in severe in-
jury or drowning.
Never insert any object into the jet thrust
nozzle while the engine is running. Severe
injury or death could result from coming in
contact with the rotating parts of the jet
pump.
Stop the engine and remove the clip from
the engine shut-off switch before removing
any debris or weeds, which may have col-
lected around the jet intake.

always be applied when attempting a turn,
except at trolling speed.
This model is equipped with the Yamaha En-
gine Management System (YEMS) that in-
cludes an off-throttle steering (OTS) system.
It will activate at planing speeds should you
attempt to steer the watercraft after releasing
the throttle lever. The OTS system assists in
turning by continuing to supply some thrust
while the watercraft is decelerating, but you
can turn more sharply if you apply throttle
while turning the handlebars. The OTS sys-
tem does not function below planing speeds
or when the engine is off. Once the engine
slows down, the watercraft will no longer turn
in response to handlebar input until you apply
throttle again or you reach trolling speed.
EJU35975Cooling water pilot outlet
When the engine is running, some of the
cooling water that is circulated in the engine
is discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet.
There is a cooling water pilot outlet on the
port (left) side of the watercraft. To check for
proper operation of the cooling system, make
sure that water is being discharged from the
cooling water pilot outlet. If water is not being
discharged from the outlet, stop the engine
and check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 86 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP
It will take about 60 seconds for the water
to reach the outlet after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.
If this occurs, apply a little throttle to make
sure that water discharges properly.
EJU40323Water separator
The water separator prevents water from en-
tering the fuel tank by collecting any water
that has entered the fuel tank breather hose if
the watercraft was capsized.
If water has collected in the water separator,
drain it by loosening the drain screw.
To drain water from the water separator:
(1) Place a drain pan or dry cloth under thewater separator.
(2) Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain the water. Catch the draining water in the
drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth
so that it does not spill into the engine
compartment. If any water spills into the
watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a
dry cloth.
(3) Securely tighten the drain screw until it stops.

gine warning is activated, the hour meter and
error code will be displayed alternately at 3-
second intervals.
Hour meter
The hour meter shows the total number of
hours that the engine has been running since
the watercraft was new.
TIP
The elapsed time will be kept even if the bat-
tery terminals have been disconnected.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter shows the battery voltage.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 12 volts.
If the battery voltage has dropped significant-
ly, “Lo” is displayed on the voltmeter, and allother display segments of the information
display turn off. If the battery voltage has ris-
en significantly, “HI” is displayed. If “Lo” or
“HI” is displayed, immediately return to shore
and have a Yamaha dealer service the water-
craft.
EJU37272Fuel level meter
The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. The amount of re-
maining fuel is shown using four display seg-
ments, which disappear one at a time as the
