Gallery: Installing KSpeed’s Kawasaki Ultra Atmospheric Trumpet (Video)

We previously published an article about KSpeed’s Kawasaki Ultra Atmospheric Trumpet and ever since then, we have received numerous emails and messages asking us for an installation tutorial. You asked, and we delivered!

Thanks to KSpeed’s simple instructions, this is one of the easiest installs that you can do for your Kawasaki Ultra platform, including the new 2022-up. It will only take you about 10 minutes and you need four basic tools: 8mm socket, 10mm socket, ratchet, and a flat head screwdriver.

Above left: Remove both the front and rear seats. Above right: Remove engine bay cover (there are 6 10mm nuts and washers on the 2022+)

Above left: Undo the hose clamp, remove the hose from the bypass valve (it has the vacuum line attached to the throttle body) Above right: Gently tugging on this hose, trace where it goes to the air box

Above left: Once you have the correct hose, remove it from the air box and install the supplied block off cap in its place; secure with the supplied zip tie (yes, KSPEED even supplies the zip tie) Above right: Remove the hose from the ski

Above left: Fit the atmospheric trumpet to the end of this hose and secure firmly with the supplied hose clamp. Secure firmly, but do not over tighten as you may crack the trumpet. Above right: Feed the other end of this hose down the rear vent tube (which one may vary; look at the hose as to which one provides the most direct path towards the starboard side of the ski and under the throttle body). On the 310 generations, it will be the PORT vent, on most 300’s, it will be the STARBOARD vent

Above left: Once you can see the grey/black hose start to come out the bottom of the vent hose, grab this and guide the rest of the hose down the vent tube. The idea here is to bring the trumpet snuggly into the vent. Pull it through while guiding the top in and make the trumpet flush with the vent Above right: Re-attach the hose onto the bypass valve using the original hose clamp. Ensure the grey/black hose is not rubbing any of the supercharger pulleys or belt. You should be able to route it so that it won’t, but if not, you may need to shorten the hose slightly.

The atmospheric trumpet should not be sitting flush in the vent. Now you just need to reinstall the engine cover (on the 2022+ models) and your seat. If you want to increase the “PSSSSHHTTT” sound, you can adjust the rear seat pole by 1 – 2 turns up.

When you start your Ultra for the first time after installation, it may stall and stutter. The ECU is getting used to not seeing the bypassed air back in the system. It will run normal within just a few minutes.

Valcourt, Quebec, Canada, January 10, 2023 – The Sea-Doo Switch pontoon, a product of BRP, has been named “Boat of the Year” by Boating Magazine, the world’s leading publication for recreational boating. The Sea-Doo Switch family of pontoon boats represents a shift of paradigm in the fastest growing segment of the recreational boating industry.

“The Sea-Doo Switch is designed for the next generation of boaters,” said Julie Tourville, Director of Global Marketing, Marine Group and Sea-Doo at BRP. “We wanted to disrupt the industry with a pontoon that marries the spirit and fun of the Sea-Doo brand, and we’ve done it with the Switch. It’s built to change the realities of what life on the water can be and provides the flexibility to fit the dreams of all kinds of recreational water lovers.

Jetcast Offers Rusler All-Weather Garmin GPS Sounder Cover

Today’s fishing PWCs include the latest in sounder technology giving riders the ability to “see underwater” and confidently navigate everything from lakes and rivers to flats and the open ocean. Like all electronics, these complex units are subject to corrosion, UV damage, faded LCD screens, and saltwater intrusion. Luckily, Jetcast offers a solution to keep your expensive sounder safe from the elements!

Paul Hayes “Hayzey,” at Jetcast was tired of his sounders failing, and realized that today’s large-screen models are even more susceptible to water intrusion and damage, especially when mounted on a fishing ski. Saltwater can penetrate sounders through normal usage, as their positioning out in the open puts them directly in the path of spray and waves.

Rusler, a New Zealand fishing gear manufacturer, developed a waterproof, synthetic canvas fish finder/sounder cover that provides exceptional water resistance and UV protection. With over three years of sales under their belt, Rusler has developed a proven product that customers love.

High ambient temps and direct sun can cause sounders to overheat and can damage sensitive LCD screens over time. Rusler covers provide an inexpensive solution to protect expensive hi-tech sounders from all types of environmental exposure. The oversized visor peak provides maximum protection against glare throughout the entire day.

Rusler sounder covers also feature an innovative stainless-steel rim that stops the sun shade from flopping over the screen when the cover material gets wet. Velcro straps allow the cover to be seamlessly removed between outings, while a drawstring strap securely fastens the cover to your machine so it won’t be blown off when traveling on water or down the road.

With covers for sounder/fish finder units ranging from 4” to 16”, Jetcast even accommodates custom sizing requests. Covers retail from $70.00 to $125.00 USD plus shipping. See the links and details below. Most fishos (boat and PWC alike) don’t know they need a sounder cover until it’s too late!

Jetcast Carries these models in stock:
For the Fish Pro Scout and Sport (Garmin 62/65 models)
Sea-doo Trophy (Garmin 72/75 models)

For all other models, we custom make to order for any Sounder. This takes about 5-8 business days plus delivery to US:

Whether you ride Sea-Doo, Yamaha, or Kawasaki, or fish from a boat, Jetcast has something for everyone and is sure to enhance your experience out on the water. Check them out on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, and visit their website at www.jetcast.au.

Sea-Doo has some great new gear and accessories on the way for 2023. Some stuff will light the way and other items will allow you stow more gear. The Docking Lights will make a nice addition to your Sea-Doo Switch. They attach to the bow, lighting the way for those pre-dawn trips or when cruising back after dark. Round out your safety kit with a lightweight paddle with T-Handle. The paddle breaks down so you can easily store it on your Switch.

A new LinQ bag is available for the Explorer Pro 170 and it gives you 26 gallons of watertight storage. It converts to a backpack when you need to carry gear on land, and it will collapse when empty. It has a compartment for registration, license, insurance, and more. A 5-gallon LinQ Seat Bag provides extra storage for those small accessories you want close by. It mounts behind the passenger seat to keep your rear deck open.

Sea-Doo has come out with the LinQ Lite Ventilated Bag for storage of wet towels and other wet gear. It doubles as a trash bag. A new cover to protect your Explorer Pro made of heavy-duty canvas is available. The cover is UV resistant with a soft lining that won’t damage your watercraft. The cover is ideal for trailering or storage. Several Bimini tops and sunshade extensions for the Sea-Doo Switch have been added for 2023. Check out this gear and more on the Sea-Doo site.

2022 was a huge year for Radinn. The crew launched Unleashed, a killer software program, which provides a major upgrade for your new jetboard. Unleashed offers more torque, higher speeds, and more acceleration. It lets you level up to beast mode on your Radinn jetboard.

Radinn also opened Surf Club in Sweden. This is like going to a surf camp, only you’re making waves on a Radinn Electric Jetboard with some rad instructors and other riders just like you.

The crew teamed up with Imagine Dragons in July for a cool video shoot in Las Vegas at Bellagio Fountains. Yep, Imagine Dragons front man can be seen riding the Freeride Element through the Bellagio Fountains.

The Freeride was the perfect choice with its unmatched stability making it easy to quickly learn to ride. They didn’t even need the stunt double for the trip through the fountains.

Later in the year, Radinn Electric Jetboards hit the rental market with the X-Sport. It is the most durable jetboard in their lineup, making it perfect for the public to give it a go. The board is built to take a beating. It’s lightweight and has an improved battery life for the rental circuit, so you can stay out longer. Throughout the year, the Radinn crew and Red Bull teamed up for several extreme sports events. 2022 was a huge year for the Radinn team and we expect more as we make waves into 2023.
