2011 Yamaha Marine VXS Standard Features

The Powerplant
The Yamaha VXS is powered by a 1.8 liter high output Yamaha Marine Engine. This 1812cc engine, which is purpose-built for the marine environment, is the largest displacement engine ever installed in a personal watercraft. It is also the only engine in the high-performance, four-stroke category optimized to run on the least expensive Regular Unleaded fuel.

Electronic Fuel Injection ( EFI) :
Throttle position sensor ( TPS) , intake air pressure and air temperature sensors supply the optimum air/ fuel mixture. The results are a 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 unwanted water ingestion.

High Volume Intake Box:
With water repellent air filter and flame arrestors.

SAWS ( Scavenger Assist Wet Sump) :
Equipped with a high-performance, compact gas-liquid separator, this engine uses Yamaha' s unique ultra compact lubrication system and oil pan structure.

Corrosion Protection System:
Sacrificial zinc anodes protect the engine from harmful galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel fasteners ( nuts, bolts, hardware) provide a long service life. Cylinders, cases and heads are all treated with a durable oxide coating to form a barrier between corrosion and expensive engine parts.

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

Direct Ignition:
For more efficient combustion.
The Jet Pump Propulsion System

The Yamaha VXS' s 155mm hyper-flow jet pump propulsion system with three-blade stainless steel impeller:
Designed to maximize water flow for high performance. The VXS' s pump configuration provides excellent hook-up and smooth acceleration.

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.

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

The Yamaha VXS features the world' s first hulls and decks manufactured through the use of cutting edge nanotechnology.
Yamahaï ¿ ½ s NanoXcel ultra-lightweight, high strength material reduces the weight of the hull, deck and liner by 25% and provides performance gains in acceleration, fuel reduction, top speed and handling. Additionally, the NanoXcel material offers a shinier, gem-like finish which reduces surface tension on the water, providing a more nimble, responsive ride.

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

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

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 VXS' s digital security system and Low RPM Mode from up to 30 feet away.

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

Yamaha Security System:
This security system that can be activated with the touch of a button ensures that no one starts the VXS without your permission.

Dual Concave Mirrors:
Automotive style and convenience.

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

Comfortable One-piece Seat:
Ergonomically-designed and contoured for added support. The extra-long seat is easily removed for quick access to the engine compartment.

Extra Large Boarding Platform:
Provides a stable platform for reboarding.

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
