World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea had the chance to test ride the new four-stroke SX-R under the supervision of Minoru Kanamori and Craig Boyd. The test ride was held during the Dealer’s Meeting at a near by lake.

The OASIS of the World Finals. The place where you can get some rest, drinl some cold water or beverages and meet friends from all over the World.

According to a recent post of Kawasaki (KMC) the four-stroke SX-R weighs 249kg with fuel and oil while in dry weight it is approximately 230kg on dry weight. This means that the SX-R is 110 lighter than an STX-15F and heavier by 71kh compared to a 2-Stroke SX-R. In terms of dimensions the new SX-R measures 2654mm in length, 764mm in width and 840mm in height a fact that makes it only longer by 342mm compared to its two-stroke predecessor. Since the engine and driveline come straight for the STX-15F the SX-R shares the same amount of thrust which is in fact 957pounds. No wonder its top speed is close to 62-63mph and it accelerates side by side to a Ultra 310R. Price wise it costs $9999USD.

If you ask any rider who races jet skis to give you an explanation of this sign he/she would most probably say that this water vehicle or pwc is designed and made only for close course racing. This is what most dealers, distributors and salesmen say in Europe too for the Yamaha SuperJet. However, Yamaha spokesman from Yamaha USA gave a different explanation. “It means that this jet ski can be used ONLY in a closed course control environment such as a rental business one that does not allow the operators to ride far away from the coast and the beach features small floatation substances on rope that indicate the close course controlled boarders.” Therefore, according to the Coast Guard regulations in Europe, or most of the European countries this ski can not be used since it cannot be registered and insured.

President of Kawasaki USA (KMC), Mr Yoshi Tamura visited Jettrim’s Vintage Jet Ski Museum during the World Finals. It was a big surprise for all the jet ski enthusiasts to see him looking at the old photos. Mr Tamura (middle) pictured with Bob Phares one of the first pioneers of jet skiing who worked for Kawasaki and promoted the new sport. Phares was also photo shooted for Kawasaki’s first Jet Ski poster.

KOMMANDER/R&D do it AGAIN with the worlds fastest 2017 YAMAHA EX! Kommander Industries has been extensively testing today a turbo system mounted on the new Yamaha EX. First tests showed a top speed of 70mph on 10 pounds of boost with pump gas with a reprogrammed ECU by R&D. So it is nearly a 20mph gain over the stock EX that does 52-53mph. Steve Webster commented “This EX turbo package is coming together nicely. I did 70mph today on low boost pump gas set up. This is at 2100 ft of elevation. We are still working on intake grates and prop combinations. This really is just the beginning of the testing. I am sure we will have 75+mph set up at sea level here shortly.” Stay tuned until Jetskiworld.gr will test and reveal the details of the complete project.
