About: jetskiworld

Kawasaki is being 40 years in the business of personal water. Having introduced the WSAA and WSAB personal watercraft in 1973, Kawasaki has over 40 years of experience in building personal watercraft – more years than the next three largest manufacturers combined. So whether you are on wheels or on the water, Kawasaki is here to help you “Let The Good Times Roll”. Officially Kawasaki stated that is has no plans to promote this fact with a new series of logos or a limited production graphics kit on any of its featured 2013 models. However, we do remind the personal watercraft community who provide us with the first ever Ski build and why are we still having fun riding a stand-up. Read all about the Kawasaki Jet Ski history on the PWC History section as well as in the special Vintage Jet Ski section. Photo courtesy: 1992 Kawasaki Jet Ski Advertisement

The R&D Engine Thermostat and Intercooler Cooling Kit is one stop shopping to solve several big issues with the OEM cooling system. Engine temperatures on a RXP 260 engine with performance upgrades can reach 190-195 degrees with the stock cooling system. The R&D Kit changes out the stock thermostat for a new cooler 160 degree thermostat. The R&D Kit also separates and re-routes the “intercooler out” and “engine out” water lines to allow less restriction and more water to flow through both the engines exhaust system and the intercooler which promotes cooler exhaust temperatures as well as reducing intake air temperatures. The R&D Kit also includes two new 1/2 inch water bypass fittings for the intercooler in and out lines, one to be used with the kit included high pressure relief valve, and one for the new intercooler water out line. The R&D “high pressure” relief valve will protect the intercooler from being broken due to high water pressure spikes. Cooler engine temperatures, cooler intake air temperatures, and cooler exhaust temperatures all add up to a noticeable RPM and top speed gain. Now available from R&D with Pt. # 663-15000 and a price set at $299.95.

The illustrated kit was revealed exclusively on www.jetskiworld.gr a year ago while the initial tests of the Sea-Doo RXP-X 2012-13 were carried out along with R&D’s crew. The R&D Engine Thermostat Kit is designed to lower the engine operating temperature. Engine temperatures on a Sea-Doo 260 engine with performance upgrades can reach 190-195 degrees with the stock cooling system. The R&D Kit changes out the stock thermostat for a new cooler 160 degree thermostat. Cooler engine temperature adds up to a noticeable RPM and top speed gain. Kit comes complete with installation tool. Available from R&D with Pt. # 663-15010 and its price set at $175.95.

The illustrated hood was shown on one of Hajime Isahai’s projects, a triple cylinder SX-R. According to Hajime the particular hood was designed and manufactured by a friend of his in Japan and the company is called CYBER.

The particular Rickter FS-2 is made from carbon/kevlar as special request from Rickter Composites. As it is pictured the ski is available from TC FREERIDE, the company of well known freerider, Taylor Curtis. Log in to his web site to place your order if you are interested.

The Weber plug & play kit comes with ECU, wiring harness and all components necessary for installation. The map file is configured for both the OEM and /or any aftermarket intercooler, and will offer a performance increase to approx 150 HP & more. You will be ready to start and run the package immediately. The supplied files are mapped up to 17psi, and higher pressure files are available upon request. The supplied files will perform perfectly at 7lbs if necessary. Superstock maps for 750, 800 & 850 kits will be available soon. The option for writing your own custom files is available with the optional O2 sensor install kit. Waterproof & shock resistant. Minimum 100 Octane fuel is required. Part Number: WEC-4 Available from WatCon for 1750 USD.
