When we visited Rius Racing after the World Finals were over we had the opportunity to see the Yamaha aftermarket parts that the company released recently. Among other parts Nicolas showed us the aftermarket titanium rods that are made for the SHO engine according to his spec. These rods are stronger and lighter than stock in order to be able to withstand the extra abuse of tuned engine. They are highly recommended for modified engines.

This particular paint job was done specifically for Minoru Kanamori’s Arai helmet. Kawasaki’s R&D rider and engineer who has been sponsored by Arai since he was a motorcycle test rider. These graphics, John Hopkins replica, are not available for regular customers. Kanamori has also added his nickname on the back of the helmet. Such a shame it is not available in the market.

The problem of cavitation (caused mainly due to the oversize pump intake and the leaser static vanes of the pump) with the FZ has been solved. If anyone talks about using traction control in the ViPec or MoTeC, the answer is simple: “Traction control is not a solution it’s a small bandage that will cause more problems if you change impellers at any time.” according to Riva spokesman. The real solution, of course invented here at Riva. It is a Skat Trak 160mm 13/23 impeller and 160mm stainless steel wear ring. The result is 86mph with no cavitation and incredible acceleration when it is combined with the Riva Stage III kit. These items have been tested for about a month now and will be soon released into the production line. Those parts will be included to the FZR Stage III kit. This exclusive information was given to us through Marine Service Kavalas which is exclusive Riva dealership in Greece.

Fumikazu Watanabe has recently released through his company BUN FREESTYLE a new plate for installing all necessary hardware for the MSD ignition, starter relay, etc. for the Freestyle engine’s needs. It is CNC machined and apart from loosing weight it also adds a unique style to the overall aesthetics.

This particular carbon ride plate was used by the Motz brothers at the World Finals. Their race crafts were equipped with the latest version of Kommander Ind. ride plate. Originally, the ride plate is blind in other words without any holes, therefore the rider or tuner designs and open the holes at any place. Otherwise it can be ordered or custom made by Steve Webster upon request. For more info contact Steve Webster at Kommanderind.com
