In the photography business, there are, in general, three levels of cameras: You have your entry level cameras, which typically are good, solid cameras, but without all the bells and whistles — they’ll have a fixed (non-interchangeable) lens, a built-in flash, and often must rely on programmed modes and settings, with very few user-control settings available. Moving up from the entry level, you’ll find the bridge cameras, or “prosumer”model cameras.
Built for serious hobbyists or beginning professionals, these mid-range cameras often still feature a fixed lens, but with a longer zoom range, or are matched with a basic set of interchangeable lenses. There will also be more manual options for exposure, aperture, shutter speed and focus controls to cater to the increased skill, experience and vision of the photographer. Stepping up to the pro level cameras, along with a significant price increase, you’ll find extensive manual control options, a stunning array of available lenses, and a plethora of other high-end features.
Unfortunately for us photographers, that’s the end of the line. There is not, at least as far as I know of, a RIVA equivalent in camera production – because if there was, some of us would be toting around some pretty amazing custom-built, limited edition cameras that looked awesome, performed like magic, and combined the best in technology, innovation and quality control – kinda like the new 2025 FX1800R Limited Edition build released by RIVA Racing yesterday.
The white and black RIVA Yamaha FX1800R Limited Edition was developed for enthusiasts who demand the ultimate in power and performance. The limited edition unit features a host of RIVA Performance Products perfectly matched to the Yamaha FX Cruiser SVHO platform.

High Flow Billet Fuel Rail
The RIVA Yamaha 1.8L High Flow Billet Fuel Rail is an essential upgrade to your fuel system to support increased horsepower from supercharger or turbo modifications. Directly replaces restrictive factory fuel rail for improved fuel delivery and enhances the appearance of your engine bay.
Precision machined billet aluminum rail features a unique bracket system that adapts to a variety of injector sizes & lengths. Large body design provides increased flow capabilities to support 500+ horsepower applications. Inlet fitting accepts OEM Yamaha fuel connector for easy plug-in installation. Includes fittings for flow-through fuel routing to eliminate injector supply fluctuation and keep fuel cooler.
Power Filter Kit
Power Filter feeds your supercharged engine a steady diet of cool air delivering greatly improved acceleration and rpm. Replaces restrictive stock air box with a high-volume, precision-formed intake duct that attaches to the supercharger via a large 4″ adapter. Cool air enters the system via a proprietary oversized, stainless-steel mesh filter element that is certified to meet U.S. Coast Guard ‘SAE J1928’ requirements.
Power Filter Pre-Filter
Water-repellent cover (pre-filter) for screen-type flame arrestors protect your motor from unwanted water intrusion and debris without restricting airflow.
Catch Can/Engine Breather Upgrade Kit
The easy to install catch can/engine breather kit eliminates power-robbing crankcase fumes and oil vapor from entering your Yamaha engine’s air intake. Increases horsepower by removing the engine’s requirement to burn relatively non-combustible oil. Also improves intercooler efficiency by preventing oil sludge coating that lowers thermal efficiency.
Supercharger Shaft Upgrade Kit
Our Super-Duty GEN-4 SHO/SVHO Supercharger Shaft Kit provides the ultimate in reliability for high boost applications. Kit features a revolutionary hydraulic shaft stabilization bearing that limits shaft deflection and wear. Bearing stabilizes end of supercharger shaft via high pressure oil film dramatically increasing the stability of the system.
Hydraulic end bearing and one-piece shaft bearing are fed by a through-shaft oiling system providing superior lubrication. Oil is delivered by braided stainless line and injected into a billet end cap that houses hydraulic bearing. Shaft is precision machined from a single piece of high-strength billet steel producing shaft, collar & gear as one piece. This eliminates the common failure point on stock shafts where OEM gear is pressed onto shaft. Shaft also features larger diameter threads & nut for added strength.
‘GEN-3′ Power Cooler Kit w/ TiAL BOV (50mm)
Our ‘GEN-3’ Yamaha Power Cooler Kit (intercooler system) features a huge cooler element that is rated for up to 600hp! High capacity cooler core resists heat soak under the most demanding high boost/high temperature applications. Delivers an increase of 20 peak horsepower over OEM intercooler providing arm-wrenching results on the water!
Quality manufacturing of cooler core delivers minimal pressure drops and excellent thermal efficiency. The cooling element is dramatically more efficient than the stock unit with exit temperatures averaging 50F cooler than stock. This delivers cooler, denser air for increased performance throughout the RPM range.
Pro-Series Engine Cooling Upgrade Kit
Our Engine Cooling Upgrade Kits deliver dramatically improved cooling efficiency to engine and inter-cooler for increased performance & reliability. Greatly enhances water flow & pressure by replacing restrictive OEM pump strainer & water fittings with high-flow billet components and superior routing. Allows addition of re-flashed ECU’s, high-boost compressor wheels and other performance modifications that can increase heat & detonation.
Intake Manifold Upgrade Kit
