How to Restore Your Yamaha EX Back to Its Original Factory Condition

So you’ve just picked up a used Yamaha EX and you can’t wait to get it out of the water, or you’re getting your own jetski out of storage for the upcoming season. The next step is to make sure it’s ready to be put through its paces.

It’s definitely worth the time, energy and cost to get your jet ski back up to spec, but may owners opt for aftermarket components to save a little cash. Here are a few reasons why genuine Yamaha parts are a better bet than generic alternatives.

Brand Specific

Let’s face it, no one knows their equipment better than Yamaha. They’ve made your EX from the ground up, and their tool and die sets are specifically made for your machine.

Choosing aftermarket parts leaves you open for installing components that aren’t up to the standards Yamaha has for its machines. Aftermarket sources don’t have access to the exact specifications housed in OEM blueprints, often making them a poor excuse for the original.

Warranted Warranty

Yamaha understands that their products need to be maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Some components need to be replaced often, and it’s not just good business to expect customers to buy Yamaha OEM parts.

While an aftermarket component might have its own warranty, installing it might void the coverage of your entire watercraft. Yamaha’s designs depend on their components working together in a specific way, and vying for the cheaper option might end up damaging the entire machine.

Qualified Vendor

Yamaha has been around a long time and has an excellent relationship with a host of distributors across the globe. When its delivery is delayed, in the long run that cheaper aftermarket part might cost you more in time and money, or worse it could cost you time riding the waves!

Don’t settle for aftermarket parts because of their lower cost. The quality and dependability of genuine Yamaha parts will ensure your EX slices through the seas all summer long.
