In the affected watercraft, there is a possibility that the outer throttle cable could corrode and become cracked or
kinked. If the outer cable is damaged in this way, it could cause the inner cable (throttle wire) to fray over time from
wear. If the frayed inner cable catches on the damaged outer cable, throttle movement can be increasingly impaired
which may eventually lead to the throttle being incapable of returning to the idle position. This could result in an ac-
cident with the potential of personal injury or death to the operator, passenger, or bystanders.
Your dealer will replace the throttle cable with one of a new material. This service will be performed without cost to
you for parts or labor.
Please call your authorized Yamaha WaveRunner dealer to make a service appointment to have this procedure per-
formed. Remember to take this letter with you when you take in your watercraft.
For the name of a dealer near you, call 1-800-88-YAMAHA or visit the Yamaha web site at: www.yamaha-motor.com.
You should not operate the Yamaha WaveRunner shown above until this inspection/correction is performed.
