Just got the ski..Looks like it's a Qrt. low on oil...what kind of grade does it use..manual's on the way

Use Yamalube 4-M. Where is the level on the oil dip stick?

Oil level is at the low mark on the stick

That's not too bad. I forgot to ask if you were instructed on how to check the oil level properly. It makes a difference!

1) Make sure the craft is perfectly level.
2) Start the engine and let it run for 15 seconds.
3) Stop the engine and let it sit for 15 seconds.
4) Pull the dip stick, wipe it clean and replace it.
5) Wait a few seconds, pull the dip stick again and check the oil level.

Doesnt the manual state run motor(with cooling water) for 5 minutes,stop water,motor off then check oil level??
Thats how I do it on 04 FXHO.

Cheers Ozpwc.

OK...thanks...it wasn't as low as I thought...1/2 qrt....

Broke the impeller duct trying to press out bearings...New one's on the way,.. I have the service manual..Not sure how the bearings are suposed to be facing going back in...Any help ?

I don't remember off the top of my head and I'm away from the shop this week (Yamaha Dealer Meeting). Get in touch with our Tech Rep at 954-247-0705. Tell him I told you to call.
