Help needed, How to you service a Jet ski
madrallysport - 16/7/11 at 05:42 PM

Guys, a friend of mine has a jet ski and has asked me to service it for them, i'll do plugs, oil, filter (oil i know has to sucked out) but what else do you have to do to them.

Any help would be great, i've googled stuff but under jet ski service, its either peeps offer services at big prices, or peeps trying to sell you guides on how to do it.

O its a 1300cc yamaha engine if that makes any difference,

cheers guys

Give Mark at Mac1 Motorsport a ring he used to mess about tuning and racing those nutty things, I'm sure he can point you in the right direction.

Give Stuart_B a u2u as well, he's got some pretty hi tech jet skis and has had them for a couple of years so knows what he's doing...

that like a mate of mine asked me to service his plans i can do the plugs comon if you dont know about them i would not go near them you can do more harm than good (i rebuild jetskis all the time i have i think 8)

I thought the 1300's were all 2 strokes.

If it has oil and filter then its a 4 stroke, which as mentioned are a delicate beast. I re-built countless jetski's and the 4 strokes are really for a dealer to check over. If it is a 4 stroke and its the supercharged one I would not touch it.

If its a stroker, then service is plugs, and dont forget to grease the pump bearing on the output shaft.

hi there, as said i have been jetsking for years and years, so can help any questions.

i would imagine the ski in question will be a gp1300r yamaha which is a 2 stoke engine, so no oil filter. is he trying just a yearly service or a big service?

cheers
