R&D’s new RC2 Racing Camshaft kit offers a serious boost in horsepower for the racer who wants as much lift and duration that can be safely “Bolted In” without valve guide or spring base machining. The R&D RC2 Cam lobe profile has all of the same features in concept and design as our RC1 recreational lobe, accept for the increased lift and duration. The secret to the R&D cam lobe is in the precision grind finish on the cams base circle and duration at .050”. R&D maintains strict specifications in this area of the cam lobe which is the key to having strong vacuum, a great idle tune, and clean acceleration performance. Overall lobe Lift and Durations are increased to allow as much lift as possible and still run O.E.M. “uncut” valve guides. R&D has improved the lobe profile with “state of the art” technologies that will reduce valve lifter friction and improve valve lifter wear. The R&D “boost friendly” lobe profiles increased lift and duration will produce a noticeable horsepower gain and can also be tuned to custom LSA (lobe separation angles) when using R&D “Pro Tune” Cam Gears (Pt. # 612-93008). The R&D RC2 will produce noticeable horsepower gains over R&D RC1 recreational cams with improved gains from idle to wide open throttle. The RC2 Cam Kit really goes to work adding top end pulling power in the 8500-9500 rpm zone. R&D custom cams can be installed easily and shimmed with basic hand tools and the O.E.M. service manual. R&D High Rev Valve Spring and shim kit parts are required for the RC2 Cam Kit to work properly without coil bind damage. Call R&D today for further details and specifications for all your camshaft and valve train upgrades. NOTE: The R&D RC2 requires the installation of R&D’s High Performance Valve Spring kit as the O.E.M. valve springs will run into coil bind with the added lift on the RC2 lobe profile. The RC2 will also require the use of a stand alone ECU system such as a MoTeC M400 to custom tune the fuel and ignition for optimum performance. Features: Aggressive throttle response, increased overall horsepower, Increased rpm performance ( RPM range increased to 9500), Increased CFM airflow, Horsepower increase gain ( with R&D Cam Gears), Aftermarket ignition is required for custom tuning, Works well with R&D Valve Spring Kit upgrades (Required), Easy installation, Bolt on 25+ Horsepower Upgrade.

R&D’s RC1 Recreational/Racing Camshaft kit offers a great boost in horsepower for the recreational rider/racer who wants as much lift and duration that can be “Bolted In” without valve spring changes or valve guide machining. The R&D RC1 will install and work well with O.E.M. valve springs and retainers. The RC1 is a great choice for recreational and offshore riding or racing targeting the 7500-8500 RPM range for top end power while also improving low and mid range performance. The secret to the R&D cam lobe is in the precision grind finish on the cams base circle and duration at .050”. R&D maintains strict specifications in this area of the cam lobe which is the key to having strong vacuum, a great idle tune, and clean acceleration performance. Overall lobe Lift and Durations are increased to allow as much lift as possible and still run O.E.M. “uncut” valve guides. R&D has improved the lobe profile with “state-of-the-art” technologies that will reduce valve lifter friction and improve valve lifter wear. The R&D “boost friendly” lobe profiles increased lift and duration will produce a noticeable horsepower increases and work well with C1, C3, and C5 Monster Wheels and also work well with R&D R1, R2, and R3 ECU Reprogramming Services. R&D RC1 custom cams can be installed easily and shimmed with basic hand tools and the O.E.M. service manual in as little as two hours without the removal of the head, or any valve spring or retainer parts. Call R&D today for further details and specifications for all your camshaft and valve train upgrades. Features: Aggressive throttle response, increased overall horsepower, Increased rpm performance (150-200 RPM Gain), Increased lift and duration (.368” lift and 6° degrees more duration), LC and LSA tunable (with R&D Cam Gears) 10-15 Bolt on Horsepower up grade, R&D R1, R2 and R3 ECU Compatible Works well with R&D Valve Spring Kit upgrades, Easy installation.

Rumors say that personal watercraft manufacturers plan to make substantial changes and crucial updates for the upcoming season. Horsepower will be increased to 300hp basically from Kawasaki and Sea Doo. Green Team will release a 2000cc power plant whilst Sea Doo will add one more cylinder to the three-cylinder motor. Yamaha plans to release a more powerful version of the FZR. Additionally, rumors speak about an electric power pwc hitting the market in 2011. Stay tuned...

PART # 612-93008: R&D’s Racing Cam Gear kit allows a huge boost in overall horsepower to be gained by custom tuning the camshafts LCA (lobe separation angle) set up. Tuning the LCA with R&D Pro Tune Cam Gears can add 200-300 RPM’s, increased boost pressure, and 2-3mph to your existing engine package. Adjusting the camshafts LCA is a very simple “BOLT IN” modification with the R&D Pro Tune Adjustable Cam Gear Kit. Understanding the LCA concept principle is fairly easy. A wide LCA like found in the SHO and FZR will generally result in decreased valve overlap, later intake events, earlier exhaust events, and high intake manifold pressures which produce great idle, smooth accelerating with mild low and top end power. Wide LCA’s are great for school buses and soccer mom vans. However, if strong mid range pull and top end horsepower is what you’re looking for, then a narrower LCA will need to be generated. The R&D Pro Tune Cam Gear Kit allows the LCA (lobe separation) to be adjusted narrower which will generate increased valve overlap, earlier intake events, and later exhaust events. Resulting in snappier throttle response, increased mid range and top end power and more boost. Why spend big money on optional camshaft kits (i.e. 1800 N.A. cams) that have proven to offer too narrow of LCA compromising idle tune? Buy the R&D Pro Tune Cam Gears designed specifically to improve overall power at a fraction of the cost and provide an optimum overall tune. The R&D Cam Gear Kit offers four possible LCA combinations that allow the cams to be tuned depending on the type of riding or racing and type of fuel. In fact, R&D has built a specific engine designated for degreeing, checking and proving camshaft specifications. Depend on the Pro’s at R&D to deliver all your horsepower needs. Aggressive throttle response, increased overall horsepower, Increased rpm performance (+200-300 RPM Gain), Boost Pressure Increase (+1 pound), 15-25 Horsepower Increase, Precision CNC Billet/Ground Cam Gears (lighter than stock), R&D R1, R2, and R3 ECU Compatible Works well with R&D Cam Regrind and Valve Spring Kit upgrades Easy installation, Bolt on Higher Horsepower Upgrade. NOTE: R&D has determined that the O.E.M LCA is a WIDE 120 degrees stock, with an intake cam lobe center of 122.5 degrees. Considering the LCA timing facts, using the R&D Pro Tune Cam Gears to tune the cams will generate huge performance power gains. R&D has found in testing that a 2.5 degree LCA change will act similar to a 1 pound boost addition. Tests have proven that an R&D C1 or C3 compressor wheel and a 7 degree LCA change can have the same performance advantages as a 15 pound compressor wheel. Call R&D for constant power upgrade information as we are constantly at work looking for more. Available from R&D - Retail $199.95.

Yamaha FZR racers continued their winning campaign at rounds 5 & 6 of the APBA PWC racing tour held at Michigan’s Harbor Beach; stretching out their overall lead in the Pro Runabout Open, Pro-Am Runabout Stock, Expert Runabout Limited and Women’s Runabout Limited division standings. According to Dean’s Team owner Dean Charrier, the track conditions were fast and furious and the high speed course was demanding with the g-forces the Yamaha FZR had to handle. “The power of the FZR 1812cc motor in combination with the FZR’s NanoXcel hull responded perfectly with the precise handling needed for the racing conditions. In the stock class, the FZR was the fastest watercraft out there and dominated every moto from start to finish,” said Charrier. Yamaha FZR highlights from Harbor Beach included: Amy Green who swept first place at round 5 and 6 in the Women’s Runabout Limited and Expert Runabout Limited classes, winning all 8 motos. Dustin Charrier, son of Dean Charrier, won the Pro-Am Runabout Stock class at round 5. Current IJSBA World Champion Tim Neff won the Pro-Am Runabout Stock class at round 6. Next stop for the APBA racing tour is Belle River, Canada.
