My 2015 Yamaha 242 Limited S

[Williamsone46]

Got my billet flag holder back from being powder coated yesterday.

@Williamsone46 .......... Adam .... Is that the flag holder from Aerial Towers ?
If so, what size flag pole (diameter) do you plan on using ?
Many Thanks, Mikey Lulejian
PS - REALLY nice looking. YOUR powder coating guy MUST be your brother-in-law ....... LOL ! (ie, $$$)

Thank you and I wish he was. I have a problem, I am very meticulous and I can tell you it's not cheap to be that way lol...

I KNEW IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, never heard of either. That's awesome. Might send some business there way, we're going to re coat a few (older) customized snowmobile trailers before we sell them off.

 

[Williamsone46]

Got flag! This thing is huge!

@Williamsone46 - Brother!!! I was just finally getting a minute to look at your listed add ons... NICE!!! With the all the extra work that Yamaha put into silencing the motor all I've added are two matching JBLs on the tower. Man - you've gotta be heard state wide with all that extra "bunch".

I did want to ask you how you like your RIVA throttle body spacer. Pretty easy install?

 

[Williamsone46]

@Bennie thank you. The Riva spacers are a super easy install. Takes about 45 min.

Is it just the spacer or do you also need the cold air intake that is noted on the Yamaha parts page?

What kind of performance improvement have you noted with it? Any significant increase in HP/top speed?

 

[Williamsone46]

@Bennie around 200-300 rpm and 2-3 mph

@Bennie around 200-300 rpm and 2-3 mph

Nice - that'll let me finally break the 50mph barrier!!

(Ive gotten to 52 once, with a strong tail wind... but cant seem to touch it again) (with four on board)

 

[Jackew]

[Jackew]
