Standard Features

The Powerplant

• The VX Cruiser is powered by a Yamaha MR-1® four-stroke engine.
  This is a compact, ultra-lightweight, four-cylinder, 1052cc, DOHC, 20-valve, liquid-cooled engine for class-leading performance.


• Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI):
  Delivers smooth, high power output with low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions.


• Specially Designed, One-piece Cylinder and Crankcase Assembly:
  Provides tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and stiffer than two-piece designs.


• Slant Detection Switch:
  Electronic switch stops engine and oil pumps immediately if watercraft becomes overturned, protecting motor from water ingestion.


• Dry Sump Lubrication:
  Uses two engine oil pumps to deliver lubricating oil to each moving part with water-jacketed sump and oil backflow protection.


• Corrosion Protection System:
  Sacrificial zinc anodes protect the engine from harmful galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel fasteners (nuts, bolts, hardware) provide a long service life.


• Electronically Controlled, Variable Ignition Timing:
  For exact ignition advance control at all throttle positions and RPMs.

The Jet Pump Propulsion System

• The VX pump design:
  One of the most efficient pump configurations ever, increasing stream velocity and thrust while decreasing cavitation and prop spin.


• Reverse:
  Allows the watercraft to be backed up off a trailer or out of tight spots where you cannot turn around easily.


• Stainless Steel Impeller Housing Liner:
  For high durability, the liner maintains accurate clearance tolerances between the impeller and the housing.


• High Flow Intake Duct and Grate:
  The dynamic shape of these items directs water flow into the pump for better thrust, performance and hook up.


• Cooling Water Intake Filter:
  Filters out harmful debris that could cause blockage of important cooling water passages.


• Pumps are Manufactured with YDC30:
  A combination of zinc and copper alloys, developed by Yamaha marine engineers, that offers excellent corrosion protection.

The Ultra-Lightweight, High Strength Hull and Deck

• The VX Cruiser hull :
  Designed to be light and strong.


• Progressive, Stepper Draft V-Hull with Integrated Bow Spray Guard:
  Provides excellent maneuverability, handling and comfort.


• Sponson Design:
  Provides added straight-line comfort and an improved two-up and three-up riding experience.

Additional Features:

• Cruiser Seat:
  Adds comfort and support for both passenger and driver.


• Extra Large Boarding Platform with Reboarding Step:
  Provides a stable platform for reboarding.


• Multi-function Electronic Information Center:
  Provides the operator a quick read on speed, RPM, fuel level, low fuel warning, low oil pressure warning, overheat warning, hour meter, check engine light with self diagnostic function.


• Industry's First Remote Controlled Transmitter:
  With the touch of a button on Yamaha's innovative remote-controlled transmitter, you can activate and deactivate the VX digital security system and Low RPM Mode from up to 30 feet away.


• FX Cruiser HO The personal watercraft industry's first fuel saving feature,
  Low RPM can reduce fuel consumption by up to 26% based on average annual use.


• Dual Concave Mirrors:
  Automotive style and convenience.


• 19 Gallons of Total Storage:
  Includes a large bow storage locker and glove box.


• Glove Box with Self-draining
  Beverage Holders


• Finger Throttle Lever:
  Provides added comfort while reducing hand fatigue.


• Yamaha's Trademarked Visibility Spout®:
  A waterspout from the rear of the craft that improves the watercraft's conspicuity.
