DETAILS FROM KSPEED:
Introducing the next generation KSpeed ProRace Ride Plate, specifically designed for the new Kawasaki Ultra 310 Jetskis equipped with the KSRD system. Building upon the overwhelming success and positive global feedback of our original KS1 ride plate, we've re-engineered and refined the design to accommodate the cutting-edge Braking/Reverse system featured on the latest Ultra 310 models. This has included significant alteration to the angle to take best advantage of the new centre of gravity.
After returning to the CAD drawings and extensive development, our team has spent the last six months rigorously testing the new prototype in various water conditions. The result is a ride plate that outperforms its predecessors, offering a perfect blend of offshore and high-speed performance, combined with improved handling in rough water conditions, thanks to the lower center of gravity.
Repeated testing has shown a repeatable 2-3mph gain in top speed on a stage 2 equipped 2022 ultra 310LXS with a full tank of fuel. Your results may vary.
Key Features:
KSRD System Compatibility: Our re-designed KS3 ProRace Ride Plate seamlessly integrates with the new Braking/Reverse system on the latest Kawasaki Ultra 310 Jetskis, ensuring top performance without compromising functionality.

Great plate! First ride on it you’ll instantly feel it pushes more of the ski out of the water. It’s like driving a forby once you’ve installed a lift kit 😂 as a result I’ve noticed it’s a slightly drier ride too 👌🏻
Your comment about the lift kit definitely rings true..it's amazing how much higher the ski rides at the bow- it's a much drier and smoother ride in the chop
pretty cool man.. I'm curious to how it compares to stock
@BrisbaneKawasaki I have had the KS3 plate for a few months. I have the heavier LX. My ski is now a couple MPH faster than the friends I ride with; RXP-X 300 and GTX Limited 300 both with SCOM's. With this heavier ski and, maybe my heavier weight, I had only ever maxed out at about 14-14.5 psi of boost and around 7800 RPM. With the KS3 plate, I now regularly get 15-15.5 psi and 7900-8000 RPM.
Yeah I noticed a major difference with the plate, it completely changes the ride!
@@JDsWaterWorldwhy does the supercharger “Push” more & allow a higher rpm? I put plates on my old stand up back in the day (when I was young). The last time I replaced plates on any ski. They definitely changed the ride. Allowed higher speeds (Presumably) only proven by riding against others. No factual data for me to prove that. But it certainly improved the ride.
@@scotthooper4170 It isn't the supercharger that allowed more RPM, it is the ski being further out of the water, equating to less drag on the machine. Since the supercharger is a direct drive with a belt, the max boost is tied directly to the RPM of the motor. The new plate means less drag on the ski, which means it is easier to hit higher RPM's, which means higher boost.
Let us know your thoughts once you've done the test ride :)
Will be going offshore this weekend to flog the #%#% out of my ski, looking forward to reporting back!
Next video should be .. let it ride!
Haha yes video coming soon on the test!
Yo looks pretty solid
It's a nice piece of hardware- bow rides so much higher, it's a much drier and smoother ride in the chop
When is the test video with the results and comparisons coming? I keep checking for it.
I am making sure to complete multiple phases of testing in different water types, I should have everything edited and ready to post by the end of next week
Great video JD.. hey the ks1 ride plate is such a big difference in performance compared whit the ks3? and what is better the ride plate or the intake grate, Which one you'll feel better performance.i'm want both, but little by little.. WHICH ONE I SHOULD BUY FIRST??too spencive for me to get both at the same time 😊
Well for the 2022+ Ultra 160 and 310 the KS3 plate is your only option at the moment- and it combines the best aspects of Kspeed's previous models. I noticed the most immediate change in handling and performance from the Ride plate. The intake grate doesn't necessarily improve speed- it does however help keep the pump loaded better in the chop. If I had to chose one, it would be the KS3 Ride plate- it's incredible and provides a very noticeable improvement to the ski's ride
You the best.. thanks for the info
Look forward to the ride review!! My baby is going under the knife in a few weeks when I get back in town. I'm not sure how you managed to get your dealer to give you that wire harness but mine absolutely refused to!! You have more pull than I do! My audio controlled shit the bed and they wouldn't give me that part either under warranty. I did speak to the service manager about it all and hopefully everything will turn out ok. He stated they have already done 4 wire harness replacements on the 22 Ultra LX's.
Damn, well, I figured it was only a matter of time until yours shit the bed as well. I think because you ride mostly and freshwater, it lasted way longer than mine. Well, hopefully they get your ski all squared away for you and do the job right.
I'm the guy who discovered the issue, so I think I knew more about it than they did lol
@@JDsWaterWorld I detest with every fiber of my being that someone other than myself or YOU are working on my ski!!!😂 I honestly don't have high hopes that something won't be right when I get it back.
Oh well
@@JDsWaterWorld 100% agree with you JD!!!
It's an International recall, if they look up your HIN it will allow them to order the parts for free from Kawasaki and they even get paid (not much) to fit them for you.
Amplifier isn't a recall, but it's well known that lots are needing replacement. Just hit and miss on that part, if the ski in under warranty it should be a breeze.
If you have no luck at dealer level, go higher.
How do you think it compares to the Riva plate?
I don't know lol but Kspeed has done a heck of a lot of R&D on this plate, I imagine it would be hard to come up with something better 🤣
@@JDsWaterWorld damn ok. When can we get a full Riva vs speed vs test? I happily volunteer my newly repaired ski!
😂come on men ,he is team kspeed and kawi performance.he will feel bad advertising riva but is a great idea to compare both of them..
@@jrg4435 just so you know I reached out to RIVA and asked them if they wanted to send me a plate so I could compare the Kspeed and RIVA plates, and RIVA is not interested..it's not me, it's them! Riva doesn't seem to care much about us Kawasaki guys- that's just my honest impression!
@@Razorpee I reached out to RIVA to see if they wanted to participate in a ride plate comparison, and they told me they are not interested in working with me.
I’ve found that every thing I get for my 22 -:310x is dam near IMPOSSIBLE to install. I’m currently installing the factory audio system (mostly ) and trying to bolt the lower speaker enclosures in place. Trying to get to those 3 nuts. Has proven to be dam near impossible. And a very piss poor design by Kawi
You try reaching in from the ECU access door?
@@JDsWaterWorld O yeah , I finally got all 6 fasteners tighten down , but lost 3 nuts 1 washer down in the side of hull AND A DAM brand new ICON flip 500lumen FLASH LIGHT! 🤦♂️ I can’t get it out. It slide under the plastic compartment liner I’m so Fxxxx. Lol I’m about to cut a big hole out that liner cause I can’t leave it in there flopping around
@jasonjackson329 Ride it some and see if it works it's way back into the bilge are. Maybe you get lucky. Low spot under the engine can be a likely spot it lands
u get that skii up to 78 yet ? mph
Fastest it's ever hit was 75 mph at 8000 rpm..we shall see what numbers come in the ride plate. I'm hesitant to run much over 8,000
@@JDsWaterWorld why , the kawi cant handle 8500 ?
Not smart unless you upgrade to forged pistons and titanium retainers. I'm going for longevity
@@JDsWaterWorld man they def make the slowest skii. my 16 fzs has been running 80 mph at 8300 and my 21 gp is at 8500 rpm 85 mph. love ur work on ur channel.
Thanks man...Yes, Ultra is slow comparatively on flat water but definitely pulls ahead in chop when against the others. It's the Landcruiser of PWC..
