What it made and sold

2009 · Confirmed

US patent 7,794,294, granted in 2010, lists among its references online catalog pages of 1 September 2009 titled as covering Worx Racing Maxiloader intake grates, and another catalog page of the same date titled as covering personal watercraft intake grates by Worx among other makers.

Likely

Group K's page on racing modifications for the Kawasaki 750 stand-up, which discusses the models to 2002, set up its test hull with a Worx ride plate and a Worx scoop grate. It describes the plate as relatively long, with a half-moon through-hole at the rear that helps hold the back of the hull to the water. The page prints no date.

The business on record

2023 · Confirmed

The Australian Business Register shows the business name Worx Racing Components registered on 2 November 2023 to an Australian private company with its main business location in Queensland. The archive reads that company as Worx's by the business name, an inference.

Sources: ABN Lookup Worx Racing Components

2024 · Likely

Farthing Racing's release on its 2025 season, printed by The Watercraft Journal on 3 December 2024, lists Worx Racing among the team's sponsors.

Sources: Watercraft Journal 3 December 2024

Likely

The company's own page, read on 5 October 2026, says Worx Racing was established in 1996, that its head office and manufacturing are on Australia's Gold Coast with a warehouse in Riverside, California, and that its parts are made in Australia. These are the company's own words; the register's main business location, Queensland, agrees with the Gold Coast.

What the archive has not read (3)

• No document other than the company's own page dates Worx before the catalog pages of 2009 (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-16). Personal Watercraft Illustrated's new-product pages on Worx of 2001, listed in the Wayback Machine's index, would move that date, but they could not be read on 2026-10-16.
• A 2012 Australian news post whose address names a new owner of Worx could not be read (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-16), so it is a lead and not a source.
• No US trademark joins WORX to racing, components or watercraft goods (USPTO name searches, 2026-10-06), and no patent in Worx's name turned up (searches of 2026-10-05). Australian marks were not searched.

Documents cited on this page

• US patent 7794294 (patents.google.com): US patent 7,794,294, Water intake grill for personal watercraft (USPTO record), United States Patent and Trademark Office, read in Patent Public Search, 2010-09-14; government, high. Filed 25 February 2009 with related applications of 2 October 2007 and 21 April 2009, granted 14 September 2010, one individual inventor, no assignee printed. Cited here only for its other-references list, which names three online catalog pages dated 1 September 2009 for R&D Aquavein, Worx Racing Maxiloader, Solas, UMI Racing and other intake grates. The record does not hold those pages.
• Group K Kawasaki 750 racing page (groupk.com): Kawasaki SXI Pro 750, Racing Mods (Group K page), Group K; manufacturer primary, medium. The shop's page for its kits for the Kawasaki 750 stand-up, undated and listing a 2002 model: a preface on a 2001 relationship with Kawasaki's race team, the exhaust section that defines the shop's use of dry for a Factory Pipe pipe, and the kit lists. Medium as a seller's description of products it sells; its relationship claims are the shop's own and no Kawasaki document is held (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-09). The held copy omits the site menus.
• ABN Lookup Worx Racing Components (abr.business.gov.au): ABN Lookup, ABN 15 003 593 360, business name Worx Racing Components (Australian Business Register), Australian Business Register, 2026-10-05; government, high. A business registry record extracted on 2026-10-05: an Australian private company with an ABN active from 21 April 2000, and the business name Worx Racing Components registered from 2 November 2023. The register stopped collecting trading names in May 2012. High for what it records; it dates the registration of an entity and a name, not the start of any product line.
• Watercraft Journal 3 December 2024 (watercraftjournal.com): Farthing Racing to Continue As Yamaha Waverunners Factory Race Team for 2025 (The Watercraft Journal, 3 December 2024), The Watercraft Journal, 2024-12-03; enthusiast media, medium. Trade-press report printing Farthing Racing's own release on its 2025 season with Yamaha. Medium; the release is the team's account.
• Worx Racing Components About page 2026 (worx.com.au): WORX Racing Components About Us (worx.com.au, read 2026), Worx Racing Components; manufacturer primary, low. The company's own About page, read on 2026-10-05: Worx Racing established in 1996, a head office and manufacturing on Australia's Gold Coast and a warehouse in Riverside, California. Low, because the year of establishment is the company's own claim and nothing independent in the held documents dates it; cited only as that claim and for where it says it makes its parts.
