More Boost and Horsepower is on its way with the new R&D Monster Power Supercharger Impeller Wheel Kits. The R&D engineering staff has been developing a complete line of supercharger impeller wheels that actually deliver the power and boost pressures we promise. Each Monster Impeller wheel will come complete with a statistical data sheet graphing the RPM/boost pressures that the wheel produces, eliminating the mystery behind the supercharger. Stay tuned for complete information. BALANCING INFORMATION: R&D Monster Compressor Wheels for 255 H.P. 4 Tec engines have been precision mass center balanced in the preliminary casting/machining operations process, and precision two plane balanced after the final machining processes. The balance tolerances on the R&D Monster Wheels are held to a much stricter and tighter tolerance over O.E.M. or aftermarket wheels. Your R&D compressor wheel may have small balancing grooves machined in the blade channels of the wheel in some areas. This procedure is part of the mass center balancing process. The small grooves do not in any way impede or hinder the compressor wheels ability to efficiently pump or compress air. The R&D precision two plane balanced compressor wheels will perform perfectly and smoothly at 180,000-200,000 rpm’s as the wheels have been blueprinted and balanced to stringent turbocharger specifications, even though the wheel will only spin at 46-48,000 rpm’s in the Rotax engine at 8,000 crankshaft rpm’s. R&D has gone the extra mile in the balancing process of the Monster Wheels as higher balancing standards will add significantly to the service life and performance of Rotax’s vulnerable and temperamental clutch system. Precision balancing will significantly increase bearing life, promote better clutch performance, extend clutch life through decreased clutch slippage, and increase horsepower performance.

The illustrated seat was designed for Kawasaki Ultra and replaces the OEM rear unit. It is made by fiberglass and the OEM plastic year brace can be removed since it incorporates its own, built in aluminum brace. It accommodates the OEM seat latch which makes its removal really handy. It is easy to fit and it does not require any special tools. It was used by multi National Greek Champion Akis Malouchos at the recent Akropolis Jet Raid 2012 and he mentioned “It kept the engine compartment cooler since the huge air duct made it easier for hot air to escape.” It is available painted at the cost of 450euro and fits all Kawasaki Ultra.

Hot Products USA exclusive dealership in Greece, Akis Malouchos of Champions store not only played key role on organizing the International event but also he participated in F1 Class and finished 3rd in F1 Class behind the winner Jean-Bruno Pastorello and Sylvain Ente. In the Paddock he proudly presented the Hot Products USA banners.

Recently we received through Hot Products USA and the Greek dealership, Champions the brand new Taylor Curtis T-Shirt. We were wearing the particular T-Shirt at the Grand Opening of Akropolis Jet Raid and we got positive comments regarding the design and the overall quality. We thank Hot Products USA and Mr Scott Saito for sending the particular T-Shirt.

Well, actually, none of the hardcore members of the famous jet ski clothing had the opportunity to visit the race site, however, the author who has a close cooperation with the Californian based company was wearing the most talked about paddock jacket. It was windy with mild chill therefore, we used it during the late afternoon photo session in the paddock area. Can you think a better place to wear a Jettribe’s Paddock jacket rather than the Paddock place of an International race?

Akropolis Jet Raid has already started and the first video releases are on SNPNEWS. Simply log in to google and type SNPNEWS to view the first 4 videos and the fantastic crossing through the Corinthian channel.

The R&D 1 Degree Reduction Nozzle Wedge Kit for the new KAWASAKI ULTRA 300 will add quicker acceleration and top speed performance as well as allow the ULTRA 300s’ bow to ride slightly higher which will significantly reduce bow spray promoting a much dryer ride. Extensive testing has led our development team to wedge the reduction nozzle up 1 full degree which will inexpensively give the ULTRA 300 better handling everywhere and provide a boost of up to 1 mph in top speed performance. The billet aluminum CNC machined 1 degree reduction nozzle wedge kit was specifically designed to work without compromising or removing the O.E.M. reverse gate or nozzle trim. The R&D Pump Wedge Kit comes complete with all the necessary hardware and instructions for easy installation. A smoother, more enjoyable, dryer, faster ride! Only from R&D. The part number is Pt. # 141-30000.
