I guess I missed out on the reliability part of Yamaha.
I have ridden Yamaha products since I was 6 yrs old. I am now 35. I have never had a Yamaha engine fail on me, ever.
My dad purchased a 200E three wheeler new in 1984 for our farm. I rode this thing hard everyday. My dad uses it for work on the farm still today. To say this thing has had a rough life would be a large understatement. I'm not sure if it's worth pushing off of a cliff it's so rough looking. It gets the oil changed in it about once every two years at best. It has no rear suspension, yet I rode it like it did. Jumping, wheelies, through ponds, creeks, and deep mud. This thing still runs like a top to this day. It has NEVER failed him. Why he won't by a four wheeler is beyond me. He says there's nothing wrong with his rig right now so why bother. Seems to me if Yamaha reliability was that bad then this thing wouldn't be running today.
I raced PWC for ten years. Yamaha was known as being the most reliable product on the water.
Yamaha has the most diverse product line available on the market today.
Yamaha didn't run scared from the two stroke market like the other three did in the late eighties. They stuck to their lorals while the others didn't have the ***** to do it.
There are two companies that lead today's market in sales. Yamaha and Honda. I wouldn't consider one more reliable than the other in my book.
