Recent post on R&D's official web site: Ever wonder why the supercharger is so HOT? Heat is a derivative of compressed air (boost). The more boost pressure, the hotter the supercharger gets. The engineers at R&D understand the key in producing more horsepower and maximizing performance, is managing heat. R&D is proud to announce the new Water-Cooled Supercharger Housing System. The new R&D Water-Cooled Supercharger System is fully water jacketed and eliminates heat at its source, the Supercharger. The new system replaces the OEM inducer cover and mounts directly to the OEM Supercharger body. The system features a High Performance Volute (intake air path), Internal Anti-Surge Port, 100% Water-Cooling and a custom R&D Power Plenum Air Filter. Now since the Supercharger is the coolest part in the engine compartment and runs at lake temperature, it only made since to design a custom R&D Power Plenum Air Filter that would take full advantage of the new found cool air, now located directly in front of the Supercharger. System installs in 45 minutes and comes complete with all necessary hardware and pictorial instructions. Beat the heat and order your Water-Cooled Supercharger today. Now excepting pre-orders for a February 24th ship date. Fitment: The R&D Water-Cooled System fits all supercharger wheels that fit into the OEM charger housing. Pt # 612-24000

Japanese magazine, World Jet Sports dedicated its recent front cover to the last stand up Jet Ski that Kawasaki produced this year closing a big chapter in the history of Jet Ski after serving 37 years on the water. There is still a lot of talking about the most wanted four-stroke stand up of the Green Team hitting the market next year. We know that the Akashi factory has been working closely to it with its American part though the market of stand ups is shrinking every year so most likely we are not going to see it coming in 2012. On the other hand we believe that since Kawasaki has pioneered the Ski class most probably wants to continue its presence to it so we have this feeling that the Green Factory will make the first move among the Japanese manufacturers and will produce the four-stroke Ski next season. Most likely Yamaha will make its move too since they are working on this project too.
