Another perfect job of Jettribe is illustrated on this race seat that was prepared for Rius Racing. The particular seat is an ex-Lee Manvell design modified for a Kawasaki Ultra. Note the new hub design that provides extra support under heavy acceleration. The customer can pick up any of the 200 mat colors in order to specify his spec of the custom design of his own seat cover.

“Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. Are you TUF enough?” However Champions still have to go to the gym...while a proper stand has to be tough enough to meet the expectations of the new heavier Runabouts. If you do not want to see your Runabout dropped to the floor make sure you have one of those stands.

The particular extenders can be added on any R&D alluminum backing plate in order to increase the craft’s stability at high speeds. These sponsons extenders have tested extensively by R&D research team and additionally they were used under race conditions with positive results. They are made out of billet allouminum and are anodized to withstand corrosion. The R&D sponson extenders have the following part number Pt. #122-01802 and are already available from R&D.

Japanese rider and Kawasaki R&D mechanic/test rider Minoru Kanamori poses with his great collection of Arai MX helmets. Kanamori was sponsored by Arai since he had started his job in Kawasaki Japan on testing motorcycles and ever since then he is been using them on all occasions. This is an old picture since by now he has far more of those ones with really nice paint jobs.

The new Yamaha platform has already been tested by www.jetskiworld.gr However there was a unique opportunity to test the new craft (published on Tests section) with bolt on R&D parts, such ar an Power Plenum Filter and an R3 Reflash ECU. This allows the craft to rev easier and to gain some speed. Among with an R&D Solas impeller the craft’s performance was improved substantially. The top speed was increased from 61mph stock to 64mph. Not so bad for simply fitting a few bolt on parts.

We have tested extensively R&D parts made for Ultra 300X and we found out what you actually gain by simply fitting bolt on parts on this new Kawasaki. Also, we tested two Skat-Trak impellers under the same conditions. Read all about it on the story published in the Tests section.
