Yamaha is keeping you rolling in the dough $$$$$, repairing these ticking time bombs . If it was just Kawis you'd be the Maytag man.

When you build crappy power valve setups and secure oil lines with zip ties what the customer does becomes fairly irrelevant, you miss the point apparently, the number of blown up irreparable Yamaha products that come through here every year is staggering, what I posted is whats here right now, it in no way reflects the number of blown Yamaha's I do on a yearly basis nor is it the complete number of blown Yamaha's here right now. Yamaha's easily double the amount of Kawasaki and Seadoo motors I build yearly combined, maybe your Yamaha runs flawlessly it doesn't mean that all Yamahas do. Still does not explain the price difference in parts either.

Well, 10-15 years ago people were buying Seadoo's...........Then they got smart and started buying yamaha's. Now, there is so many more yamaha's out there that of course you are going to see more of them and less Seadoo's. they outnumber them like 2000:1 now. America wised up. Hopefully they will do the same in the next presidential election..............

Oh you want to add Seadoo to the list sure no problem,
Stator $309.49
Starter $278.99
Bendix $137.49
CDI-coil $156.99
solenoid $41.99

There you go now why are Yamaha parts so expensive again, I must have missed the answer to this question, anyone ? , I will be here all night, let me know if you can figure it out.

kawasaki parts nation. kawi mounts are expensive. Most of the engine problems come from the owners. It doesnt matter what brand it is.

Yup! Reading is fundamental! I guess I'm so programmed that my eyes just skimmed over anything that says Kawi!
oops!

Truth. The only motor problems I have EVER had with kawi or yami were either my fault or the previous owners.

No the sheep keep Yamaha's execs pocketbooks lined so their money doesn't slosh around.
