Yamaha has introduced its first new WaveRunner engine in 15 years. Its full-size flagship, the Yamaha FX HO, now has 1.9-litre four-cylinder power, up from the previous 1.8-litre that has been a mainstay of the Yamaha range since 2008. The new 1.9-litre resets Yamaha’s benchmark as the biggest capacity engine in the Jet Ski market today.
 And it bridges the performance gap between the now-superseded 1.8-litre engine, and Yamaha’s supercharged 1.8-litre engine. In this video we will cover Australian and US pricing, go through all the key features, tell you what it’s like to ride – and do acceleration and top speed tests using precision VBox timing equipment.
