Introduction
Yamaha watercraft are exciting ways to enjoy water recreation.
A watercraft can offer hours of fun, and it is tempting just to put yours in the water and go.
But it is important to remember that, as with any new sport or any unfamiliar vehicle, there
are techniques that must be learned and skills that must be developed, both for maximum
enjoyment and for safety.
This Riding Practice Guide booklet has been developed to help the new watercraft opera-
tor learn techniques and develop skills.
Everyone who intends to operate or ride as a passenger on a watercraft could benefit
from reading and using this handbook.
Keep in mind, though, that this practice guide is just that: a guide.
It does not take the place of common sense or good judgment.
Safe and responsible watercraft operation requires skills and knowledge that are learned
as riders become familiar with the craft.
Yamaha recommends that you practice each exercise in order according to the directions.
Do not push yourself. Take a break when you get tired.
Be sure you fully understand how to perform each of the exercises well before you go on
to learn the next one, because skills learned in one lesson may be required in the next.
Remember, you must be the final judge of when you feel comfortable and competent with
the particular skills learned.

Important information
This practice guide does not replace the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual or the labels
on the watercraft.
Be sure to study these instructional materials thoroughly before you begin to oper-
ate this watercraft.
WARNING
Collisions result in more injuries and deaths than any other type of accident for per-
sonal watercraft (PWC).
To avoid collisions:
Scan constantly for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that
limit your visibility or block your vision of others.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft.
●Do not follow directly behind PWCs or other boats.
●Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.
●Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water.
●EX / EX Sport: Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it hard for others to
avoid you or understand where you are going.
●EX Deluxe: Avoid sharp turns, slowing down rapidly by squeezing the Reverse with
Intuitive Deceleration Electronics (RiDE) lever forcefully, and other maneuvers that
make it hard for others to avoid you or understand where you are going.
The RiDE system is an electronic system for controlling the engine speed and
reverse gate, which is located near the jet thrust nozzle. The RiDE lever located at
the left handlebar grip can be used to change the direction of the jet thrust so that
the watercraft moves in reverse or is in neutral. The RiDE system assists the oper-
ator when slowing down and during slow-speed maneuvering, such as launching,
beaching, and docking.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Remember, PWCs and other boats do not have
brakes.
EX Deluxe: The RiDE system is not a braking device for avoiding dangerous situa-
tions.

Important information
Do not release the throttle lever when trying to steer away from objects—you need
throttle to steer. Always check throttle and steering controls for proper operation
before starting PWC.
Follow navigation rules and local laws that apply to PWCs. See Owner’s Manual for
more information.
