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.”

This issue has been reported on two Yamaha TR-1 engines with 130hours of operation including their regular periodic maintenance service. The bolt in the oil pump gear is losing its tightness and the gear driving the oil pump falls out and causes damage to the engine. We have our (Networx Jetsports, Philippines) second incident just now. If anyone has experienced a similar issue please share your opinion.

Kommander GP1 is powered by the latest three cylinder four-stroke marine engine of Yamaha. It is available in two options: a)Yamaha TR-1 NA engine and b)Yamaha TR-1 turbopowered engine. According to Dustin Motzouris this ski has no weakness. “It is more stable than the new Kawasaki, it has 160 pounds less weight, and this boat cannot slide, and it is very stable over 70mph. It is just incredible. Additionally, it is very natural to ride, needs almost no time to get used to it and actually needs more just to get used to how to handle the turbo . The non turbo 1050 will be the best ski for a customer.”
