Kawasaki JetSki enthusiasts are pretty much used to watching KSpeed do some unique and interesting things. Recently, they quietly released a video of their latest project, code named “GHOST”.
KSpeed had the first registered new generation Kawasaki on the water in Australia. The 2022 Kawasaki Ultra 310 LX-S was purchased and owned by Marty James, one of the guys over at Kspeed. As the team began testing, tearing apart, beating up and playing with the new machine, they decided to go all out.
Almost immediately, Marty wanted a custom paint job. He decided to go with an all black paint job with some Kawasaki Green pin stripes that really pop. The KSpeed team painted the ski in house. They had many discussions as to what to do with the seat, but they decided to keep the LX-S stock seat as it keeps more of the Kawasaki Green and matches the sharp pin stripes running down the ski.
Now begins the fun part. The first thing they did was add the KSpeed intake grate. Luckily, it is the exact same fit as the previous Ultra generation, so they did not need to make any adjustments. After comparing numbers between their grate and the stock, they moved on to their Stage 1 kit.
It took Kspeed only a couple of months to completely tune the ECU for the new Kawasaki Ultra platform. Once completed, it was immediately installed into “Ghost” for extensive testing, along with the rest of the stage 1 kit, intake grate (already installed) and the Kspeed pump wedge.
They also installed the custom 48 settings Kspeed Ultra Racing Sponsons and continued their testing. Even though they had no doubts, “Ghost” was performing beautifully.
In true KSpeed fashion, they quickly added their stage 2 kit to improve cooling, increase air flow and potent low – midrange performance. This included installing the super charger pulley, billet fuel rail, atmospheric trumpet and the Intercooler BOV blockoff. They immediately hit the water with hours upon hours of testing.
After months and countless hours of testing, the team is thrilled with the numbers, handling and over all performance that they are seeing and documenting. However, KSpeed is not done with “Ghost,” yet.
The team had been developing a new ride plate for the 2022+ Kawasaki Ultra Platform. They pulled “Ghost” into the shop and was excited to install this new development ride plate. In addition, they added a set of RIVA full upper and lower racing handlebars.
We know that our readers want to know about the new KSpeed ride plate, but that is for an article another day, after KSpeed officially releases it to the public. KSpeed offers all of this as individual parts, or in kits. If you want to see “Ghost” in action, check out the video below.
