Part number LIT-18616-00-52 covers the 1988 Wave Runner, built as WR500G. Yamaha extended the same manual to the 1990 and 1991 model years and to the Wave Jammer and Wave Runner LX, so three model names and three seasons sit between one set of covers.

For an owner, that breadth is convenient rather than diluting. The craft shared their engine and hull architecture, and the procedures are written once with the differences pointed out.

Content is what the factory gave its dealers: assembly and disassembly steps in order, tightening torques, service limits, the wiring diagram, and structured troubleshooting for the systems that actually fail. On a machine of this vintage the diagnostic sections tend to get the most use, because parts availability makes guessing expensive.

Verify WR500G on your hull, and keep the part number with your service records.
