Wave Runner is not only beautiful and powerful personal watercraft, but also practical and very easy: under the front cowl conceals a sealed box, which can be filled with ice, and carry a soft drink. Under the seat, with the engine compartment, is the battery (in a sealed box) and a cylindrical container for a fire extinguisher, which, if desired, can be tailored to your personal needs of the owner. The instrument panel is completely electronic, and as it turned out during the test, it is perfectly readable even in bright sunlight.
Well, it's time to pull the GP 1300R in the water and test it in his element. I put on a lifejacket and climb on the aft deck on the seat. The deck is covered with a special friction material, so it can not be afraid to slip and find themselves in an unplanned water. The same material covered with tunnels, and for the feet. Management is extremely simple and intuitive to master it by force, even the green beginner. The right arm is the main thing - trigger the gas on the left - the rest: Start'' button'','' Stop'' and tilt adjustment lever nozzle impeller. In the latter mechanism is worth looking in more detail. On most personal watercraft, such a system is made or control directly from the impeller (the watercraft must be stopped) or electrical (this system can not boast of the speed control on the fly). In 1300 Yamaha GP used a simple system of levers, with a mechanical switch on the steering wheel itself. It turns out his hands to cope with this feature much faster electronics. In the vertical plane of the nozzle has five fixed positions: neutral standard, raised up two positions and two - lowered down. This system helps to quickly remove personal watercraft on plane with varying weight loading, or conversely push it under water while performing tricks.
Safety checks on the spot. Press start and the engine starts smoothly, solid hum, all its three-cylinder, gently but insistently recalling hidden under the plastic power of 165 horses. Confident, strong acceleration. The mandatory program in the diving and the figure gives the impression of driving is very docile, with good dynamic capabilities watercraft. After generously exercise in diving, and maneuvering acceleration to planing to note that the explosive nature of the Yamaha is no different, but, thrust has really Boat. The maximum speed is at the turn of 125 km / h The value of the water just enough to slowly grow insolent. Everyone knows what would happen if at full speed on the jet to turn the steering wheel? He gets up, rooted to the spot, while the rider be passed fair share of acceleration (to suddenly dip and cool his ardor). This is true for many, but not GP 1300R ... watercraft, without hesitation, placed on board and continue gliding, but the side! .. What is happening is very impressive and looks and feels like from the shore, and directly on it. It really gives new opportunities and a fantastic sense of control bike. Contours of the bottom with a shallow V permit to ride in this manner for very long. Confident arc prescribing in the lateral slip, the rider vehicle does not lose control over it. Optionally, the gas and wielding the wheel, you can increase or decrease the radius of the arc. A return to normal traffic can simply reset the gas. Any Bombardier and Kawasaki have dropped you in the water for such a frivolous appeal. Here - a complete sense of freedom and control! Checked.
We translate the nozzle to the upper position, and personal watercraft on the gliding shows the maximum 124 km / h Chocolate! But to drive at that speed - a dubious pleasure. Symbolic fairing does not provide windbreaks, and begin to understand that at this speed, the water is like uneven pavement, sharp rudder movements so it is better not to do. The handle of the impeller - down and be an instant immersion in the abyss.
''Running on the waves,'' like the habit of a submarine, submerged at the very top of the wind shield. I make a circle in semisubmerged state, catching a wave of his own, and at full throttle will fly to it as a springboard. Yes, it's not personal watercraft, and a blast! Even a well-worn biker where there is loose. On the sides towards the stern, there are adjustable in two positions sponsons. They direct the flow of water along the bottom, and in the lower position make handling even more acute. Suddenly, the sensor is tripped the balance of fuel. 165 hp make your appetite Wave Runner distant from the concept of a moderate. Remaining fuel approximately fifteen minutes.
Unfortunately, it's time to leave. Nature and Yamaha gave us a fabulous weekend. Muscle clearly indicate excellent workout. Georgia Yamaha trailer. Set up in limbo for 10-20 seconds to remove from the system and the engine compartment all the water. Over a long work out of the water can damage the jet, but to remove the water after every ride a must.
Communicating with the new model series Wave Runner gave a lot of fun. Great design, powerful engine and an incredible loyalty to the driver. In response to any provocation, this powerful jet ski rider behaving predictably and reliably, making no attempt to throw him out of the saddle. Despite the high power, is, above all, family car, the generator fun, not adrenaline.
If a hot summer day you want beautiful and interesting to spend time on the water, come ashore along c Yamaha GP 1300 R.
Do not be sorry, checked!
What a great jet ski! This summer on the coast her husband traveled on such a sea! And I sat back. I really liked it. This year we want to buy this. We have long been willing to have a jet ski!
