return of the Widow Raider (1994 Yamaha waveraider)

[@rickems8863]

Perfect day in the JSB garage. wrench to ride all in one day . looks like the engine is a great fit for the wave raider. Perfect pace video for a pretty Sunday afternoon. As always, really appreciate the consistency of the Sunday video release. thanks

[@jasonskibrothers2192]

How have you been? Is the business going well?

[@sethstojak809]

I’m glad you put the 1200 in the raider to get it tuned and set to drop into the blaster!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Woh woh woh have you been talking to the guys, no one is supposed to know that

[@Corpse1984]

You guys need to make a video on the Yamaha 1200cc engines. With tips about issues and repairs on those motors. Seems like you know them really well. Also a carb tuning tutorial would be a great video too!

[@cwatson42785]

Fix the nose and fresh paint!!!! YES!!!! 👍

[@jdh1047]

Could be worth putting a good crank in that before it spits bearings all over the insides. I understand the way of the beaters though.

[@jonoadams5333]

Take some of the skis to the ocean and do some wave jumping 🌊

[@freeridenortheast2953]

Yes !!

[@jasonskibrothers2192]

@mike h I mean.... technically....🤣🌹🤹

[@cwatson42785]

Watching this as im prepping my 96 wave raider 760 to go on the water!!! That thing must be insane! Cause my 760 is pretty damn powerful and fast. Its so light and nimble. I love it!!

[@jasonskibrothers2192]

It's light, but nimble?🧐

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Very fast and quite a handful

[@cwatson42785]

@@jasonskibrothers2192 Yup! Light and nimble! Killer combo!

[@andrew154221]

The wave raider was such a blast this summer. Great video🤙

[@jaredfloding7949]

Good call on the spring. It would have had to come apart again. Just did a bendix on a tigershark 1000 and the use a bendix with more teeth for the flywheel. I used a traditional bendix and it wasn't engaging the flywheel. I was scratching my head for days🤣

[@gawnjah8447]

Oh snap, @ 00:1:02 that's a legendary engine for the waveraider. Supposedly has better take off from stop than almost any other ski setup.

[@79Dakine]

One time I was towing my kids I put my phone in the little compartment in front of the seat below the handle bars of my GTX, the compartment hatch door unlatched and my old phone fell in the drink. Since I got my new phone I carry it in a waterproof floating lanyard case I got off amazon. I use the speedo app, I also record clips and my phone still picks up sound (which I don’t understand but I’m not complaining) I can submerge the lanyard case and my phone stays dry while recording under water. The brand is called Cambond.

[@chrisglassey8585]

Paint it army green with a white star on the sides and let Jacob ride it around as the General.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

😂

[@Jaysonlanglois54]

I would like to see the widow raider vs sea rat 😍

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Oh man the scary skis 👍 that would be a heck of a show

[@crosisofborg5524]

The wave raider isn’t ugly. Neither is the wave blaster. They are cool looking skis

[@javijet78]

Good machines!

[@dmett3828]

Very cool! Seems like she rips pretty good considering the crank was full of H2O😆😆.

[@2dthoughts]

Lol I’ve got a Wave Raider that has a little chip that was worrying me. Then I saw the front of the one in the video and I’m know longer worried Thanks for the help Lol

[@jasonskibrothers2192]

That thing is a roach, and it will survive long after you and I are gone.

[@EnemyDwarf-TTV]

just a quick one,, if you care about that engine stop using starting fluid to start it,,,, the solvent washes away most if not all of of the oil in the bottom end and bores... leading to a cold seize this is worse on a reed motor as its atomised in to more droplets. stick to pre-mix in a bottle. i have seen this happen on 2 separate engines. love the videos btw keep on blastin.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

No worries bud we got the primer hooked up now

[@connorweis330]

Love the wave raider

[@CleetSquad]

Waiting on my own widowraider.

[@blownaway421]

I've come across a clean purple hull 94 raider with every riva part in the catalog. Usually I Ride a 61x/62t blaster with a factory limited pipe, ada head ect. My blaster rips, and is super reliable. would you recommend a 61x/62t FP pipe/head bigger bore and porting or going 1200 in the ski? The 701 is easy on fuel, and this ski is going to be an "inlaw" ski, but at the same time I'm paying for everything, so I want to be entertained, despite being barely entertained on my raider. IDK, what's your opinion?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I would go with the 1200 man. Unless you just want it to be simple and easy then stick with the 701 but the 1200 out perform the 701 no matter how much mods the 701 has

[@arthursellers4492]

I watch your channel and also Sebastian blue Crews channel both are really interesting

[@BeardedAK47]

Hey guys! sent a msg over on your FB page... I'll just copy and paste it here... any feedback would be great! Hello I've been watching your youtube and stumbled on this video "return of the Widow Raider (1994 Yamaha waveraider)" ... I hit the part about the reverse jetting... and I was wondering if you had any guidance ... I picked up a raider 1100 that had been heavily modded...i can see it has forged pistons, SBN44's and riva racing head and intake.... I rebuilt the carbs this week and found reversed jetting....I'm a newb and never have tuned a ski...so is there anyhting I should change or just tune it normally?

[@r2d2326]

Phew! I was hollering at the tv CHECK THE BENDIX! 😜

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Haha yeah I really had you going there 😂

[@austinnicholas2251]

Hey I got a 1998 stx 750 and the spark is moving around and when I put gas into the carb it don’t seem like it getting spark what should I do? (I got two other skis with the same problem)

[@TheStephenspann27]

Paint it.. and put some good sponsons on it. Extended nozzle as well? I don't recall if it has one.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Does not have an extended nozzle. Might try to see if one of my fzr aluminum nozzles will fit then weld some aluminum pipe on it to extend it but will see

[@adrianwall9130]

Hi guys can you please make another video of the kawi ultra 130 , after you fix up its problems, cheers

[@Alexsoutdooradventures]

Paint it the metallic Yamaha blue

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I really like the metallic blue 👍

[@campbelljenkins2380]

With your idle jets bigger then your mains where were the mixture screws?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

They are installed in the carbs haha 😂 but seriously the highs are around 1 and the lows around 1 1/4

[@tattoojunk666]

Love this swap!!! Are there any other pretty easy 1200 triple swaps out there?

[@me0want0diamonds]

Still want a 550 swapped 300sx !

[@2_be_determined]

Whats your opinion on 1100 wave venture. I'm looking at a package deal with a venture and a zxi 900 on a nice double trailer. Im trying to get my 3 cylinder on here, he's asking 2k. Thoughts and opinions please. Oh I can fix anything btw.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Only 5th scale I think that the wave venture is one of the most underrated skis ever made. We had one for a short period of time and didn’t realize what we had and ended up selling it off and been regretting it ever since. I have had my eye open for a wave venture for quite a while now. The Zxi 900 on the other hand is kind of a turd and I think it would be great to use the engine out of it to put into your searat build.

[@2_be_determined]

@@JetSkiBrothers sounds like we're one the same page thanks Josh.

[@rickems8863]

Josh, I have 2 ventures, 700 and 760 , want to get rid of one , any interest?

[@rickems8863]

donate it to the chanel if n ya want

[@jasonskibrothers2192]

@@2_be_determined I think they're both kind of touring skis. it's not really the thing we're into, but I think they're both pretty reliable.

[@dwpetty3723]

What is the motor, that you wanted to put into this ski? great video

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I am wanting a mr1

[@EverythingStudios]

Paint it!

[@612MAX]

did you pickup the engine setup recently?? there was someone selling that setup on fb EDIT: it was in pieces so not the same one

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Max Evenson I was looking at one that was on eBay but then this on popped up locally. It was mostly in one piece when I got it

[@codyswartz997]

The reverse Jetting is stock on a lot of the Yamaha 650 stuff, my guess they just copied the idea and jetted up for a 1200

[@kennybean274]

paint it. I'm restoring my raider right now

What could I pay you guys to come out for a birthday ride? Like FOR REAL. I'm not far from you guys at all. Birthdays Thursday, but anytime if you guys would let me pay to come ride a stand up for an hour or two? Being dead serious. ONLY THING I'm asking for, for my birthday. And I will pay too. If guys are interested let me know. Would love to meet you guys and learn some stuff too. Just miss riding. Only thing I'm asking anyone for for my birthday this week. 🙂 hope it can work. You got no idea that would make my YEAR! I'm only 20 min away from there.

[@alexviking9383]

I’m looking to get a reliable 3up Jetski for under 5 grand what would you recommend anybody

[@TheStephenspann27]

Kawi 15f or Yamaha FXHO (first gen)

[@alexviking9383]

TheStephenspann27 I saw a Yamaha VX110 deluxe with 120 hrs for 4.5k that works good are those reliable

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Alex Viking the 110 is reliable although you might find it a bit boring/slow. Great cruiser/family ski though.

[@alexviking9383]

JetSki Brothers thx I don’t need it super fast i just want a more reliable ski I have an 96xp800 that needs bottom end done and a Kawasaki 750ss that runs good but barely holds 2 small ppl and is slow

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Alex Viking the 110 might be perfect for you then. By the way we will be riding and reviewing a 110 in the not so distant future
