It’s kinda funny how people are nearly sprinting at full speed to supe up their Sea-Doo Sparks. The little-runabout-that-could was never intended for full-throttle, hardcore performance action, but that hasn’t stopped nearly grown adult with an itchy trigger finger to take a long look at squeezing out some extra ponies from the 900cc-powered Spark.
At the forefront of this list is RIVA Racing. The stalwart performance parts manufacturer has spared little time (and expense) to be first to the market with some serious go-fast goods for the Spark. On your right is just a taste of RIVA’s offerings, as this is an old spy shot from their R&D mule.
The real deal is a choice of RIVA’s Free Flow Exhaust Kit or Rear Exhaust Kit, Aluminum Water Box; RIVA’s 7-way adjustable Pro-Series Sponsons, which Greenhulk’s own Jerry Gaddis recently tested; and the RIVA/Solas Concord SK-CD-12/17 impeller. And if you’re worried about pulling the deck off one too many times, they even offer the RIVA Spark Deck Hardware Upgrade Kit.
As reported last week, there are still plenty of Sparks to be had before the end of the 2014 riding season, the aftermarket is just warming up. Sure, there’s turbo kits and ECU tunes to press out over 100-horsepower with no problem, but not everybody is looking to push their Spark to the limit. Rather, most are happy to cut a tight turn or leap out of the hole a little harder, and that’s where RIVA Racing comes in.
