Hi All,
I am keen to purchase my first Jet Ski and have seen a Yamaha WR500 advertised as 'For Spares or Repair'. Apparently the guy that owns it has started to strip the engine down and it needs a new crankshaft bearing kits and gasket set. He has never run the jetski so it might not work!!
My questions are simple -
do you all think this is worth it (cost is likely to be about $150 for the unit)?
Are the parts difficult to come by for this model?
Is this model relatively simple to work on? I am an experienced car mechanic but have never even looked at a jet ski engine!!
Where would i find a workshop manual for this model?
Sorry for all the questions but if anyone can help me i'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!!
