The R&D Ultra 310X Speed-up Module was developed to override the ECU’s internal top speed limiting functions which are typically reduced 5-10 seconds after achieving a stable top speed reading value. Typically, the Kawasaki 310X can reach short top speeds of 68-69 MPH for about 5-10 seconds before being calculated and reduced back to 65 MPH, while still displaying 67 MPH on the dash! The R&D Module works to ELIMINATE these calculation and timer functions to allow “Full Speed Ahead”. Top speeds with the R&D Module installed are typically 70 MPH, making that a 4-5 MPH increase “Bolt On Part” on a stock Ultra 310X! The R&D Module also works effectively to display cruise and now wake mode speed values more accurately!

Force keeps on investing on fresh new ideas that will bring new riders to the sport of Jet Skiing. The illustrated electric powered Runabout its the company’s latest idea. Ideal for young enthusiasts to get familiar with the linear power delivery of the particular ski and try to control it in a safe manner in a small pool or supervised area on a lake. Force is the same company which has designed and fabricated the Freestyle/Freeride skis of world champion Ivan Potanin.

Canadian superstar and all weather motorsports sportsman Mike Klippenstein recently built a three-cylinder SX-R with a modified aftermarket hull. The engine set-up was done by Mike himself, it’s a 1200cc engine with mild porting and as Mike mentioned it is a very reliable set-up. It is a fast and reliable practice boat. He raced in Canada though and he did exceptionally well. He broke the engine during practice and then he got the hollshot 7 times in 8 motos. Bottom end, he won every moto on this boat. Klipper is already working on an EFI system. That would be a challenge. His modified aftermarket hull is very stable and predictable. Klipper is a very experienced rider and he knows very well what he is doing. Watch him at the up coming IJSBA World Finals.

Factory Yamaha rider Rob Flores has designed and fabricated a brand new hull for the SuperJet. Also, he has developed a new set of front sponsons. The particular ones are already available at the cost of $340usd (RETAIL). To get your contact Rob Flores at Raceski.com or on FB.

Coming soon Thrust innovations micro scupper for hull drains. With more and more aftermarket skis coming out and the no use of foam you need to use these little drains to keep the water out of your tray cavity. Side by side comparison of a Verdi plug drain left and the Thrust micro scupper right.

Currently we have been using and testing the Nitro vest of Burn which was supplied by Kommander Indstries with the aid of Dustin Motzouris. This particular vest –the green one- is lighter than its predecesor. The red one weighs 765g and the green one 675g. According to Dustin the new line up which is coming up shortly features new spec. The only thing I can tell now is that is has even better fit than the previous model.

Jetskiworld.gr has been testing a new reprogrammable ECU mapping specifically designed for the Kawasaki Ultra 310R for Offshore/Endurance racing. The first tests showed positive results with an increase in top speed by 2km/h and a stronger punch of acceleration in mid rpms. Actually the engine was responding better from upper low to mid rpms and progressively was getting linear to top rpms. A complete report will follow soon.
