Turning - Yamaha GP800Y WaveRunner GP Owner's/Operator's Manual

If the vehicle has been capsized for 5 min-
utes or more, air may have entered the
oil injection system. Leave the engine off,
or operate only at trolling speeds, for 10
minutes after the vehicle has been put
right-side up. This will allow any air to
bleed off.

TURNING

Throttle produces thrust from the jet
pump. Directional control is provided by
opening the throttle and turning the han-
dlebars.
To make a turn at higher than trolling
speed: Reduce your speed, then turn the
handlebars and shift your weight in the
GU0-083
desired direction, and apply enough throt-
tle to make your turn. High thrust turns
the vehicle sharply; low thrust turns less
sharply. Releasing the throttle completely
causes the vehicle to go straight. TURNS
CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT APPLYING
THROTTLE!
You need engine power to turn. Do not
release the throttle completely. Releas-
GU0-084
ing the throttle lever can cause you to
hit an obstacle you are attempting to
avoid. A collision could result in severe
injury or death.
Make gradual turns at higher speeds or
slow down before turning. Sharp turns
at higher speeds may cause the vehicle
to slide sideways or spin. The passen-
ger(s) and operator could be thrown off
suddenly and be injured.
