Bill Chapin, driving force of R&D Racing was pictured inside the Factory Kawasaki Jet Ski premises at the World Finals. The reason behind it is that Bill Chapin ahs been working extensively on a new Turbo set up for the Kawasaki Ultra (tested by Jetskiworld.gr exclusively published in the Tests section) and the same turbo (only the turbo) was given to Team Kawasaki Jet Ski. Rumors say that Team Kawasaki would be using this particular set up on Craig Warner’s Kawasaki Ultra 310R at Mark Hahn 300 2015 race.

Today, at R&D headquarters we saw it live when owner Glenn Dickinson was sticking the 1000th sticker on a Yamaha reprogrammed ECU. R&D proudly announces that it has been a pleasure to deal with 1000 happy Yamaha customers that ordered and used R&D’s reprogrammed ECU with absolutely no complaints. There has not been even one reprogrammed ECU that was sent back to the company with kind of complaints. So what is your choice?

R&D has released a new T1 Turbo kit for Kawasaki Ultra 310R and we tested exclusively at the R&D's headquarters in Lake Havasu City, AZ.

With Dustin Motzouris. This is the brand new set up that Dustin and Tyron Motzouris had for their World Finals skis as well as Kevin Reiterer. We tested exclusively this race boat the very next morning after the World Finals with Dustin Motzouris at Body Beach. How good it is? Well, to start of lets say that this is the best hull we have tested so far with a powerful Weber engine in it. Stay tune to find out why top riders have to go on that spec soon if they want to be up in the front. The complete review will be posted soon in the Race Tests section. A big thank you to Dustin Motzouris for letting us do this exclusive test.
