2023 YAMAHA SUPERJET FIRST RIDE

Out for a late in the day first ride after the proper break in of the motor. I am totally impressed with the all new Superjet! This is just raw video with the sounds of the motor and the slapping of water.

On August 12, 2020 Yamaha released the new 2021 SuperJet. This is the first complete redesign from the ground up since the introduction in 1990, and marks 30 years of SuperJet history. The hull is entirely new and it is now powered by Yamaha's 1,049cc three-cylinder four-stroke TR-1 marine engine. Yamaha says "This year marks the return of the Yamaha SuperJet, all-new from the ground up to challenge a new generation of stand-up riders with a torquey four-stroke Yamaha marine engine and nimble performance hull that is 142 pounds lighter and 8.8 inches shorter than its competition." Which is the Kawasaki SXR1500 stand up jet ski.

The largest change is moving from a two-stroke twin-cylinder engine to Yamaha dropping in their three-cylinder four-stroke 1049cc TR-1 marine engine. The hull has also been completely redesigned from the ground up with a new 144mm pump, adjustable steering nozzle, and reboarding grab handle in the tray.

The TR-1 marine engine weighs 160 lbs and is 30"L by 21"W by 19"H inches in size, producing 100 hp. It has an integrated oil tank, ECU and air filter onto the engine. The fuel tank holds 5 gallons of regular unleaded and for the first to there is a fuel gauge.

In the last year, I sold three of my four stand up's that I had purchased in 2019. The skis I sold were the 1997 Kawasaki SXI Pro, 1999 Yamaha Superjet and the 2007 Kawasaki SXR 800. They were all stock with original graphics. The ski we still own is the 1994 Kawasaki 750SX. Great skis but being two stokes they have limitations, they are not allowed on certain bodies of water like Lake Meade or Lake Powell for example. Also, no mixing of gas and oil. The new Superjet performs and sounds like a Ferrari on the water! It's a beast and I love the way it handles, has incredible acceleration and feels light and nimble.
