Brock Austin has had the opportunity to travel with the Jettribe travel team to Asia. Here is what he had to say about his trip: “What an amazing experience it was to travel half way across the world and race in such a completely different country than what were used too. I had such a great time racing and hanging out with the Jettribe crew, I got to know everyone really well and we all had so much fun together. I took first in both motos at the first race we went too and took what seemed like a million pictures with locals. The second race the next weekend was cold but we still had a great time and I finished out the weekend with a 3rd overall in their Jet Ski Open class.”

This is the result after being almost catapulted over the bars while riding fast on a right sweeper and the kill switch came off. The incident took place in France while testing the new WaveRunners and I managed to save it by crabbing my feet from the seat. I was really lucky and the funny thing was that I did not get heart on my chest or abdomen. I was bruise free. When I was taking off my gear I realized that my Burn vest had done its job. It protected me very well while I was in great comfort riding for more than four hours in rough conditions. This was the ultimate crash test after using my Burn gear for nearly 11 months. I would like to thank Dustin Motzouris and Steve Webster of Kommander Industries and Burn USA for providing me with this great suit and vest.

Canadian superstar Mike Klippenstein has already started working on his new Yamaha FX SVHO (2015) which he will be racing at the Mark Hahn 300. This boat will be equipped with the R&D Turbo kit. It is the same R&D Turbo kit as we tested it on the FZR and on Mike’s boat two months ago. However the new FX SVHO features a new NanoXcel2 hull which is 18kg lighter than last years model. Klipper loved his new Yamaha “Tested and prepping the new 2015 Yamaha / R&D Racing 1800 FX Turbo race boat for Mark Hann 300 mile race in Feb. New light weight hull is unbelievable and R&D turbo set up frignnnn rips.” Photo courtesy: Mike Klippenstein

Rickter/RRP just created this brand new downloadable wall screen. Mark Gomez mentioned “Really stoked on the layout with a cool photo from Jon Courrier at SurfSlam. Looking forward to seeing the other teams rider's ones coming soon.” It is worth mentioned that RRP have introduced a new web site during the World Finals.

These are great news for the future of this sport. According to Pascal Barriac founder of Force the new KS-3 can be registered in France. In other words it is legal to use it as a watercraft. However, a kid under the age of 18years old still has to ride it under the parents or the instructor guidance. Force KS-3 costs approximately 4.900euro excluding tax. Available from Force in France.

It is true and it has been confirmed by a Yamaha personnel. Yamaha Japan has designed a new Runabout hull for the FZR and it was used by a particular rider in Racing even at the World Finals this year. The particular has is an evolution of the current FZR hull however it has not confirmed at the moment if it will get the green light ot go in production. Yamaha crew was very satisfied with the testing and tuning of the hull that was carried out in Japan.

The R&D Superclutch elevates all clutch performance aspects to a higher level. The Superclutch is a supplemental clutch system that is designed “specifically” for the Yamaha to be used along with the OEM Sprag drive system. The R&D clutch design utilizes an “Oil-Loaded” Friction Disc design which will dampen constantly changing rotational mass energies, and aggressive moment of inertia shock loads that have proven to over stress the OEM Sprag clutch drive and cause failures. The new R&D Superclutch and shaft system is CNC machined from premium billet steel alloy, heat treated, and precision ground between centers to strict aircraft tolerances. This R&D system features a unique one-piece billet shaft design that utilizes a proven high pressure, through-shaft oiling technique to lubricate the billet drive gear bearing, clutch system friction discs, and the “all important” additional rear third bearing. The Superclutch shaft features (an R&D standard) oversized threads and a flanged nut proven in design to not fatigue or break under extreme conditions and allows charger Impeller torque specs to be increased safely. The R&D Superclutch drive gear is machined from billet steel alloy, heat treated for proper hardness, and the tooth profile is precision CNC ground to OEM Yamaha specifications. The clutch surfaces of the R&D gear features special “oil-holding” wiper slots that provide improved oiling to increase lubrication to the clutch discs. The R&D clutch discs are precision machined, heat treated, and ground to exact tolerance utilizing only the finest materials tested and proven to be the best in these type systems. The R&D third bearing support design is integrated into a new back housing cover machined from billet aluminum with a creative precision alignment flange to insure 100% trueness and support to the third bearing. The third bearing assembly adds a tremendous amount of shaft support which will keep the shaft in line and free from the stresses of “gear climb”. The third bearing assembly will also relieve stresses on the chargers main thrust system. For Periodic clutch maintenance and adjustments, R&D has made it easy. The clutch slip can be adjusted easily, and clutch discs inspected and or changed out without removing the shaft from the supercharger with the special tool kit provided with each system. Minor machine work is required to the rear of the supercharger housing in order to achieve proper drive gear alignment (mating to the jack gear) and to true up the back cast surface so the third bearing housing cover mounts precision and true to the shaft centerline position. Machining is available from R&D (2-3 day turnaround time), or your local machine shop can follow the kit supplied blue print. Technology and performance make the Superclutch the finest and most effective clutch system available. Order yours today, and Crank up the Boost. Pt. #612-19200 R&D Competition Clutch-Shaft.
