The
Powerplant
The FX® is powered by the Yamaha MR-1?Eengine, the
first four-stroke motor designed specifically for personal
watercraft applications. The MR-1?Epowerplant is a compact,
ultra-lightweight, 140 horsepower, four-cylinder, 998cc,
DOHC, 20-valve, liquid-cooled engine for unequalled
performance.
* Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI):
Four individually adjustable throttle bodies, throttle
position sensor (TPS) and 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
* Dry Sump Lubrication: Uses two
engine oil pumps to deliver lubricated oil to each moving
part with water-jacketed sump and oil backflow protection.
* Yamaha Engine Management System
(Y.E.M.S.): An integrated, computerized management system
that controls and adjusts such functions as ignition
timing, fuel injection mapping, engine diagnostics and
OTS. The OTS function of Y.E.M.S. activates when the
operator releases the throttle lever and attempts to
steer the watercraft. This assists the operator in turning
while the watercraft is decelerating.
* Independent Water-jacketed Exhaust
Manifolds with Collector: Achieves high power while
keeping noise and exhaust heat under control.
* Thermostatic and Pressure Controlled
Cooling System: Water flow through the engine is controlled
by a thermostat and pressure system and is maintained
by a pressure control valve.
* Electronically Controlled, Variable
Ignition Timing: For exact ignition advance control
at all throttle positions and RPMs.
* 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.
The Jet
Pump Propulsion System
* The FX's 155mm hyper-flow jet pump propulsion system
with three-blade stainless steel impeller is designed
to maximize water flow for high performance. The FX
pump configuration provides excellent hook-up and smooth
acceleration.
* Reverse: Allows the watercraft
to be backed up off a trailer or out of tight spots
where you cannot turn around easily.
* Quick Shift Trim System (Q.S.T.S.):
Mechanically operated, this system offers instant change
in the attitude of the watercraft while underway allowing
for tighter turns or quicker acceleration on plane,
as the rider prefers. Q.S.T.S. offers 24 degrees of
total trim range.
* 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.
* Cooling Water Intake Filter: Filters
out harmful debris that could cause blockage of important
cooling water passages.
* Thrust Directional Enhancer (T.D.E.):
Helps direct water flow at low and high speed operation
for exceptional maneuverability as well as assisting
the trim system in efficiency.
* Pumps are Manufactured with YDC30
: A combination of zinc and copper alloys, developed
by Yamaha marine engineers, that offers excellent corrosion
protection.
The Hull
and Deck
* The FX140's Sheet Molded Compound (SMC) hull and deck
is designed specifically for unmatched luxury, comfort
and performance for up to three people. The FX hull
is reinforced with a foam-filled SMC liner, which increases
durability and reduces vibration. The FX deck design
gives an exciting profile sure to turn heads on and
off the water.
* Progressive, Stepper 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 and
three-up riding experience.
Additional
Features:
* Five-step Adjustable Tilt Steering System: Allows
the rider to adjust the steering column angle from 55
degrees to 35 degrees.
* Multi-function Electronic Information
Center: Provides the operator a quick read on speed,
RPM, fuel level, low fuel warning, low oil pressure
warning, battery voltage, overheat warning, hour meter,
check engine light with self-diagnostic function and
the industry's only audible warning system.
* 26 Gallons of Total Storage: Includes
a large 19.8-gallon cooler, rear storage tub and glove
box.
* Comfortable Two-piece Seat: Ergonomically-designed
and contoured for added support. The extra-long seat
is easily removed for quick access to the engine and
the cooler.
* Pneumatically-assisted Storage
Compartment: Large 19.8-gallon front compartment, remote
release lever and pneumatic lid support.
* Glove Box with Self-draining Beverage
Holders: The industry's first self-draining beverage
holders.
* Extra Large Boarding Platform:
Provides a stable platform for re-boarding.
* Dual Mirrors: Automotive style
and convenience.
* 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 craft’s conspicuity.
