Markus Erlach of sx-r.com has worked on his triple SX-R version. According to his sayings the project is interesting and very promising for the future. At the moment his engine set up reaches 7700rpm with 100octane fuel by using the stock pump with 33 degrees Celsius. He also works on special rde plate in order to gain approximately another mile in top speed but with this set up –the triple engine- top speed is not the key. Markus is also developing an Igni ECU for this particular engine although at the moment he is using an advent ignition. He stated that his SX-R is pretty fast and is going really well compared to other Kawasaki or tuned Stand Ups. In the near future he will work on a new triple set up with more fast goodies on it.

Japanese company Sony launched a new series of α (α series) cameras and the International Press Launch was held in Greece. Journalists and photographers from Photo magazines from all over the world were gathered in Grand Resort Lagonissi to photo shoot and test the new cameras. Multi National (of Greece) Champion and Hot Products USA authorised dealer Akis Malouchos and Race Craft tester Vasilis Moraitis (R&D, Hot Products and Jettrim supported rider) were invited along with skiers and wake boarders to play on the blue water field with one scope, to challenge the characteristics and specs of the new Sony cameras. Photographs of the two Greek jet ski riders will be featured in photo and camera magazines around the world.

The Super Jet, dressed all in black, is accentuated with its orange stripes which give an impression of a sharp riding style. SuperJet's industry-leading lightness and compactness provide a variety of advantages: outstanding agility, improved acceleration performance, and a feeling of unity which makes the machine an extended part of your body. This is the world of pure sport, based on one-to-one communication between rider and machine. The unique shape of the hull sides, the flared front and narrow rear work together to create stability and a feeling of neutral banking during turns. The task was to make a machine that can cut deeply into its rival's inside, make a turn as sharp as a blade, and race on to the next turn. At the moment Yamaha is the only personal watercraft constructor with a two-stroke Ski remained in the line up. It is not known yet if Kawasaki will keep the SX-R 800 for 2012, although the Akashi company has announced last years its final edition of Stand-Up.

This year Yamaha introduces its new VX700S. The VX700 is a 2 stroke PWC. This is the industry's only 2 stroke runabout model with its 701cc engine. Its reliability and durability have gained overwhelming support from customers around the world regardless of rental or individual use. The VX700's powerful capacity has established entry model standards, however further potential has been unleashed by applying the newly manufactured VAR-MAX body. This body is significantly lighter, has a revised weight balance, and further improvements in agility, turning, and acceleration have also been achieved. The VX700S is a machine truly fit for the "S" in its SPORTS title. With an upgraded machine and its enhanced features, Yamaha invites you to a new way of marine life. Read the features and technical specification under the Features section.

The new R&D Ultra 300X Speed-up Module was developed to easily install and interface between the stock speedometer and the O.E.M. ECU to recondition and regulate the Htz rate which will allow the Kawasaki drive by wire throttle system to operate at a 1-1 ratio (No Boost Limit Control). The new R&D Speed Control module cancels out all top speed controlling throttle plate manipulation from the ECU. Without the R&D Module, the ECU can regulate the throttle plate which lowers air flow volumes, and boost levels into the intake manifold plenum restricting top speed. The R&D Speed Control Module allows full boost levels to be achieved which produce a 3-4 MPH speed gain on a box stock Ultra 300X. The R&D Module will allow all aftermarket b olt-on parts to perform to their full potential. The R&D Module interface is undetected (stealth) to the ECU, so no warnings, codes, or stored information to worry about. The R&D Module plugs into the O.E.M. wire harness super easy in 5-10 minutes. A 3-4 MPH plug and play speed gain in less than 10 minutes! No tools required to install. Features: 3-4 MPH top speed improvement, Retains O.E.M dash functions, Eco mode, and Cruise Control, Plugs into O.E.M. harness terminals for a factory looking install, completely stealth to the ECU, Improved RPM performance (up to 300+), Full Boost levels achieved (2 pound boost addition), Top speed performance significantly improved, 10 minute plug and play performance, Works well with all other performance bolt on parts (R&D Ride Plate & Aquavein Scoop Grates). It is already available from R&D or Hot Products USA (p/# 801-15300).
