BJ Ang from Networx Jetsports in the Philippines recently bought Mike Klippenstein’s R&D turbocarged race boat, a ski that was prepared 100% by R&D and Mike Klippenstein used it to win many Offshore/Endurance events as well as the Triple Crown series in the USA. Here is what BJ says about the boat: “All I can say now is I never enjoyed jet skiing like this before. The turbo kit is what i was looking for in my entire jet ski riding life. The FX hull is one of the best in riding comfort there along side the Kawasaki Ultra hull. The work done by Bill Chapin of R&D and Klipper on the ski is amazing and simply you will just appreciate it. The small pieces you would never think of and solving bits of details. I am very happy and with this decision I made on acquiring this Ski. I used it for a long trip to one of the coves and the way it handled the chop, the comfort, the power when it needed the most and the kick and acceleration that i was looking for all my life in one ski. This is it. I am very happy. That’s all I can say now and I appreciate this so much.”

R&D offers High Performance Racing Valves that are designed to be lighter, stronger, and most importantly, outflow stock O.E.M. valves. R&D valves will flow 1.5 CFM more over stock valves with R&D’s race proven back cut seats and high flow undercut stems. Each R&D Valve is a one piece forged design from only the highest grades of Stainless and Inconel materials with a 52 HRC hardened valve stem tip for maximum strength. Valves are black nitrite coated for superior wear surface hardness and will fight against carbon buildup. When building any 4 stroke race engine, there should be three questions! How light, how strong, and how much more power! R&D Racing Valves answer those questions and more, as well as deliver a measurable power gain! R&D Valves are available in standard and 1mm oversize! At R&D, we have been there and tested that. There are only two choices of valves we recommend that work reliably in Kawasaki engines, O.E.M. Kawasaki stock valves, or the R&D Racing Valves. R&D Valves install with O.E.M. Valve locks which have proven to be the best valve locks. NOTE: R&D also offers Titanium Intake Valves.

Yamaha usually unveils its new watercraft lineup in August and this year Yamaha enthusiast will be looking forward to see if the new four-stroke SuperJet will be included. The fact is that the company is doing more testing regarding the four-stroke SuperJet especially now that they have the new Kawasaki 1500 SX-R to make some comparison testing. We were informed through a reliable source that the new four-stroke will be launched by Yamaha in a year’s time, i.e. in 2018 so it will be in the showrooms for 2019. However, it will not be equipped with the three-cylinder TR-1 engine but with a new four-stroke motor. We also know that this engine was recently an 1000cc four-stroke however the company might decide to increase the displacement since the Kawasaki uses a 1500cc motor. At the time being the only Yamaha powered stand-ups that are very close to the high quality of the manufacturers standards are the Kommander Industries GP1 skis which are available with a TR-1 engine in Natural Aspirated or turbopowered version.

Ducati superstar rider Andrea Dovizioso relaxes during summer MotoGP brake by having fun on his Kawasaki 800 SX-R. It has been published in the past that many MotoGP and GP500 stars are practicing on a stand up, like Mick Doohan, Colin Edwards, Randy de Puniet and many more.

Bill Chapin, the development guru of R&D had the opportunity to ride the Dustin Motzouris’s GP1 in Body Beach. Here is what he thinks about it: “The boat is very good. The best aftermarket hull for sure. Dustin has done a fantastic job. The boat actually has similar handling to the SXR with all our latest stuff. Dustin’s boat is easier to ride on the track than the SXR in stock form. A good SX-R needs a grate, sponsons and steering, and some other goodies to make it track friendly. His package is perfect in handling. The pump setup is better than the SXR. It hooks up very well and it can go 70mph pretty easy. The boat with the turbo has stupid mid range and top end.”
