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.

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.
