At the Hot Products, Mr Scott Saito is proofing 250 pages of 2011 Hot Products Catalogue at the moment. It is a very hard and delicate work that requires dedication and remarkable attention in order to avoid making any mistake especially at all these part numbers. He is trying to make complete of 2011 Catalogue by March 15, 2011. According to our inside information most probably there will be a story of Mark Hahn’s 300 2011 story featured in this catalogue.

At least this is what some people do in New Zealand. We actually read more about it in www.jetskifishing.co.nz where Andrew explains all the benefits of going fishing on a personal watercraft. The guys over there actually have a big fishing tournament of these enthusiasts. So going fishing on a pwc is new way to use these water crafts apart from the recreational and race use. The same thing applies in Japan as we had been informed in the past by Mr Yusuke of Factory Zero. Photo courtesy of www.jetskifishing.co.nz

APBA Off-Shore sprint Champion Mike Follmer is featured on R&D’s web site. The photo shoot took part in Havasu. Mike Follmer has been a Factory Yamaha pwc rider since 1998 and has won numerous National and regional Endurance titles. He has been sponsored from R&D’s for many years and he has become the “Heart and Soul” of Mark Hahn 300 race that will be hosted in Havasu on the 26th ones again this year.

We have referred in the past to the remarkable Ultra that the Japanese company AMC Racing has brought to the World Finals. Recently it was posted to its blog a new Ultra project that was reaching 100km/h in 40m. Well we may not know the top speed of this Ultra but is sounds very promising. Usually the company fits a Rotrex Supercharger and a Rotax pump to its “Top Gun” race crafts.

This particular test was one of the most exciting tests that were carried out in Havasu last October. R&D has dome plenty of research and development on the FZR power plant as well as on the driveline and has risen the overall performance. Read the complete report under the Race Tests section.

Last October we had seen the outstanding “Old School Museum” that was held in Jettrim’s booth at the World Finals Performance Ally. We believe that this event inspired a lot of people and tuners to actually work on old Jet Ski’s which can be found on a reasonable price or already they had been stored in the backyard. This new fashion will enhance the aftermarket accessories market and people will most probably sell those old pipes, intake grates, ride plates, etc. It is an interesting option that will help the small size or even bigger stores to get rid off all those accessories. Also, it will be a real school for the new generation to try and ride some of those old, narrow race crafts. Kommander Ind. is working on some of these projects and the particular one features a 800cc motor under the hood. Note the Jettrim metal brace on the bond flange.
