Sometimes, progress marches forward. Other times, it leaps. RIVA Racing just revolutionized how tuning, servicing and monitoring your personal watercraft’s performance can be done (and costs) thanks to its new Maptuner NANO and My Maptuner app for your Android or Apple smartphone.
While the MaptunerX remains a vital tool for dealers, service centers and performance shops, as a single handheld tuner can operate RIVA’s Dealer Service App and store literally thousands of different vehicles’ tuning files – the new NANO places the power of the full-sized tuner in a compact, thumb-sized dongle.
The NANO plugs in directly to your Sea-Doo’s diagnostic port or to your Yamaha or Kawasaki using a designated HDMI harness. Once paired to the My Maptuner app (downloaded to your Android or iOS phone) via Bluetooth, you can reflash, tune, monitor and clear fault codes through your phone on the fly!
By purchasing a license for the vehicle that you want to program, the NANO gains access to RIVA’s massive Tuning Library. Getting started is a cinch, and with RIVA’s unmatched technical support, anyone will be able to switch between performance tunes and back to stock settings within a few minutes.
Even without a tuning license, the NANO provides services like clearing fault codes, live monitoring (through your phone) and for Sea-Doo applications, doubles as a Speed Control Override (SCOM) for all 2018-and-newer 300 models, starting your Sea-Doo in Sport mode every time! [Additionally, RIVA anticipates having full SCOM capabilities for the new 325-horsepower Sea-Doo models by January 2024. – Ed.]

Above center & right: The Yamaha and Kawasaki NANO applications are slimmer by design, but require a separately sold model-specific HDMI cable to operate.
Priced at two-thirds the cost of a traditional MaptunerX, the Maptuner NANO saves customers nearly $200; and when “bundled” with the harness and tuning license, shaves off another 10-percent. Oh, and the My Maptuner app is completely free and has some functionality even if you don’t own a NANO.
The possibilities of unlocking the most potential from your modern PWC just made a quantum leap forward and you get to benefit from years (and millions of dollars’ worth) of development and effort. Check out RIVA Racing’s new Maptuner page today to learn more about this amazing breakthrough.
