Question from a novice here; Re the INTAKE PLATE; I appreciate that's it's essentially wide open...will debris from the Lake you are on, be able to enter/damage your Jet Pump??
Can I buy the ride plate , the sponsons, and the jet pump intake bolt them on to my Yamaha 2021 and get some better performance from the stock engine ? And is that ok to do?
Most would say you must lol but yea you should be totally fine. If I was you I would totally give them a call and see about the reflash if you’re going to do all of that as well
@@duradance4475 well I’m a newb , so I’m sure the stock power will be enough to make my butthole pucker for awhile lol. But anytime I can get bolt on performance for a smoother cleaner ride on anything .I’m in. But yeah I will call them . Thanks .
You'll get better overall performance WITH the stock engine, but not because the engine is running more efficiently or anything. It's entirely indicative of the hull, and pump efficiency.
@@watercraftjournal that’s great . I’m not looking for more speed or power. Just looking for better handling , smoother ride and overall just a cleaner ride ….cavitation ect ect ….thanks . 270-300hp is mind blowing as it is. Lol 350hp is face melting power , just think about that a Subaru wrx all wheel drive with a tune and turbo makes 400hp and weighs 3400lbs , this thing is almost as powerful but weighs 2000ls less just rounding on all numbers …..insanity . I cannot wait . I am buying two new jet skis 2022models just not sure witch brand . Probly Yamaha or seadoo
Wish it looked more sleek like rxt x300 or rxpx, just can’t stand this design. However performance on this thing is crazy and makes me want to get one and close my eyes on design.
@@watercraftjournal Right... not sure why you sound so condescending about it literally just asking if you think an intake grate and ect would make any performance differences but nvm

You can click the links in the article. It's a lot of numbers to have memorized and spout off at the top of your head - heck, Dave left off several of the parts on this package.
Stage 2 parts sum = 3928, kit price 3785 free ship, call it $4k with tax for parts and your labor. That's 86mph @ 8600rpm.... I honestly expected it to cost more
Why make declarative statements on something you don't much about? The GP hull does NOT require such mods - no more than sponsons, an intake grate and ride plate. Just because YOU cannot handle it in rough doesn't place the vehicle at fault. It means you're a substandard rider. -K
Complete nonsense. Most endurance offshore guys have used the FX hull, and still do. For buoy courses, the sharper/quicker handling of the GP is worth the trade off in rough water stability. These are all well established facts. You know nothing about my riding history so making this personal with speculative comments is childish.
yamaha must be using a gps now for speed, the oem plate does not have a place for the wheel, they are using a block off for the riva plate, must be used on prior years also

Great content & information from the Riva Team. Wow that 2021 Yamaha GP 1800R is beautiful 🤩
Glad you liked it!
17:15 Powder coating is a decorative finish, not a protective finish.
Anodising is better for corrosion.
Great videos.
Lots of cool information. 👍
good point

Awesome video! I know you're a kawasaki guy, but you have to admit they practically had to drag you away so you wouldn't drive it. 😂
I’m not any brand guy really. I go where the best performance is. -K
I have the N.A version. id like to eventually go with their stage 1 kit for some basic upgrades
Highly recommend, stage 2 is a ripper but very reliable
Yes it is!
Awesome video and content.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good beautiful !!!
Thank you!!

@@duradance4475 I don’t need 350horse jet ski, but I’m sure in time I will . My Tacoma has 187horspower lmfao.

I have that ski with riva stage 1+ should I get the intake grate and ride plate?
Heck yeah!
definitely
@@watercraftjournal does it eliminate cavitation by a lot? One thing I don’t like about my 21 GP is the massive cavitation compare to seadoo
Considerably yes.
🥰 what a machine. How do you get to purchase a limited edition yami. Lucky, lucky bugga that is about to jump onto that
Have a lot of money upfront and be Johnny-on-the-spot when they're announced.
Wish it looked more sleek like rxt x300 or rxpx, just can’t stand this design. However performance on this thing is crazy and makes me want to get one and close my eyes on design.
Yeah I hate the design of my gp1800r too but when I walk past a rxp x it makes me smile and forget how ugly she is 😂
@@terpsquirter7107 hahahaha great comment))
Rxp looks like sht bro
Where i can contact you for accessories of gp1800r 2022. On the site i could not find sponsons for gp1800rsvho
RIVA’s site? Bro, if you can’t negotiate their site you shouldn’t be turning wrenches.
Do you have a video on good mods for a VX limited HO? If so, lmk!
No. Because people who want to go fast get the GP.
@@watercraftjournal Right... not sure why you sound so condescending about it literally just asking if you think an intake grate and ect would make any performance differences but nvm
Not sure why it comes off condescending. Yes, handling upgrades (as you listed) will improve cornering, traction and predictability.
@@watercraftjournal I know people that want to go fast get the svho, but not everyone wants to get the supercharger.
Great video with good information. Just the audio needs work.
Yes, it was filmed in RIVA's warehouse.
Awesome video, what is the overall weight gained or lost with this kit?
None. I mean, like 2-3 pounds max.
No ribbon delete or riva cooling upgrade, both are riva parts , they claim a must have especially the cooling drill outs ??
Read the attached article in the description - you’ll see all of the parts that Dave didn’t list.
Cool ride plate, don't have one for a 2006 FX ho do ya?
You're gonna have to ask RIVA directly on that one.
How do you get your hands on a limited edition ?
Be one of the first to order one when they're announced, and pay cash upfront.
Wow okay
I would keep the stock intake all day its no way to keep trash from coming in the impeller
Don't drive through trash.
It’s annoying knowing I can’t buy a jet ski due to supply
Yeah that sucks.
i finally got my 2022 honda grom lol

How much will it cost to buy?
Go to www.rivaracing.com and find out.
Where can I have that ?
Seriously?
Why not talk about the pricing?

The want is REAL
Heck yeah!
More of a flat water ski but still a great package
Pretty stupid thing to say when this exact machine has dominated offshore AquaX racing.
Ok, why be an azzhole? Guess it comes natural to you. The GP hull requires extensive mods to handle rough

How does the water look after 2-3 laps on a closed course? Ever been to Havasu? Worse than most offshore conditions, so your point is moot. -K
How much
Click the article link in the description. All of the prices are listed.
Double the price 🤣 I can do more buying it and modifying it myself.
That's the point, Anthony. Buy the parts separately and build one yourself.
try reading the first few words in the title of the video again lol.
yamaha must be using a gps now for speed, the oem plate does not have a place for the wheel, they are using a block off for the riva plate, must be used on prior years also
All current Yamahas calculate speed using engine RPM.
Just take my money
You know where to go!
👍👍
Agreed!
😍😍😍😍
Yup
black only on the steering block is ugly. shoulda made all in blue
Not everyone wants blue
at 10:40 he said 'deep throat'
Technically, he said "...a deep, throaty sound..." but we get the joke. :P
Every where Dave goes he tells people his parts are anadized to prevent corrosion
