what is the best mods you can do to a kawasaki ultra 150 to get more speed and better acceleration?
i have a kawasaki ultra 150 completely stock and ive ran a couple of octane boosters in the gas to get it to accelerate faster and have a higher peak speed( not much of a difference ) . But i really would like to know if there are cheap ways to get better acceleration and better speed. i dont have much money so i really need to keep it cheap.
That is a common ask - how do I make my (insert car/bike/boat etc. here) go fast and handle good for no money.
The brutal truth is that without a good hand full of cash you can do little past keeping the stocker well tuned and serviced regarding performance. Ride plates, impellors, engine mods and so on all cost money. As you have already found additives will do little to change the existing state of tune, and are generally not worth the money without altering other components and timing maps to access any potential extra performance.
Unless you are prepared to spend the money and get friendly with a few speed tuning shops for advice and parts - you can't make extra performance for free. If you do liberate a few dollars the normal first steps are to upgrade the ride plate and intake grill. Internal polishing of the water path is possibly beneficial (think of forcing toothpaste full of fine abrasive through the system for an idea of how that is done) - then you may look to engine mods to improve breathing and outright performance. If you modify the engine greatly it will reduce reliability and re-sale value a lot. If the machine is not quick enough you should seriously look to upgrade via trade in - it will be by far the cheapest option in the long run. You are taking a great chance if you purchase a highly modified PWC - ride plates etc. are fine but a heavily modified engine can be more of a time bomb than an asset should the work be less than perfect. At least a stocker has a good expected lifespan and reasonable economy. You will find that as you demand more performance from an engine it will cost exponentially more as you proceed. Small improvements are generally quite reasonable, but consecutive improvements require higher and higher money - often for smaller and smaller gains. In many cases the performance becomes toppy, that is the machines begins to only function at all well when flat out, and lower end performance suffers. Sometimes to the point when the machine is almost unusable unless you are at warp factor speeds - forget about idling through the marina.......
Good luck with your plans.
