CHECKLIST | Restoring 1996 Wave Raider 1100 | Wave Raider 1100 Series | Ep2

So I bought a 1996 Yamaha Wave Raider, and whilst it’s in incredible shape, my mission, as it is with all skis on this channel, is to get them back to 100% pristine, show room, OEM condition. This Raider is in great shape but I will be restoring a number of bits, including fully restoring the trailer. Check this video out for the full low down on what’s coming in this series and what I will be restoring.

It's so great to see someone doing a proper restoration of these iconic skis with the attention to detail that they deserve! Love your your work!

[@classicjetskis]

Thanks man, I just love the old skis and want to keep at least some of them going

We just bought a pair of 1996 Yamaha 1100 triples in very great condition !!!!! 1 is the Wave Venture and 1 is the Wave Raider with the QSTS quick shift trim system. Both have been converted too run off 40.1 ratio of pre mix 2 stroke as both oil has been deleted!!! I heard the original way is better and not to do the conversion set up ?? 🤔🙄🤔 Any suggestions on the truth of the 2 ??

[@classicjetskis]

Good work on your pair, sounds like a nice find! Ok so the truth is, there isn't a truth...sorry thats not a direct answer but with premix/oil deletes, this is a personal preference... I have always been massively against it as for me, if you're maintaining and checking the the pump regularly, you shouldn't have it give up.... the issue I think from where oil pumps go bad is years and years of neglect and then, they go out, ride it hard and then it gives up. I would also add, most riders I see at my lake that run premix, always moan about not getting ratios right... in a nut shell, OEM in my opinion is better, plus its far less messing around... my raider is still using the original pump and not missed a beat... thanks for watching 👍

I have an 1100 engine I'm rebuilding to put in a waveblaster 1. Is a waveblaster 1 on your list?

[@classicjetskis]
