- Checked
- None of the four WaveRunner VXR650 model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all four name a source below.
Some Yamaha numbers are measured sizes rather than the number in the model name: a GP760 is held as 753, a GP1200R as 1131, a GP1300R as 1296. None of these figures has been checked against a Yamaha document unless a cited source states it.
Not your year? For other WaveRunner years: WaveRunner (WR500), 1987 to 1993; WaveRunner III, 1990 to 1993, 1995 to 1996; WaveRunner LX, 1990 to 1993.
The Yamaha WaveRunner VXR650 from 1992 to 1995, one square for each model year, a decade to a row; follow a square to its row.

Year by year
| Model year | Engine, as the records hold it | Fuel system | Strokes | Hull type | What the record says | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1992 | 650 | not recorded | Two-stroke | Sit-down | Deluxe model of the tandem series, on a concave hull. THE YEAR IS CONTESTED BETWEEN TWO YAMAHA DOCUMENTS. The English history page says 1992. Yamaha's Japanese corporate chronology lists MJ-650TX under 1991 and shows no Marine Jet at all for 1992. A Japanese launch against an export model year would reconcile them, but no source held here states that (checked against Yamaha's histories and the index of Yamaha News, 2026-10-06), so it is not asserted here. Yamaha News No.7, 1991, already indexes the MJ-650TX beside a WaveRunner VXR. | Source 1 |
