2013 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 300LX

Engine

• 33.4mm intake and 28.3mm exhaust valves
• Cast pistons with machine finishing for excellent durability
• Optimum cylinder wall temperature is maintained by a check valve between the cylinder jacket and water muffler that shuts water flow off above 2,000 rpm, keeping the cooling water inside the cylinder jacket
• Plastic intake manifold for weight savings
• Precise power adjustments are easy with a throttle lever designed to prevent finger fatigue on longer rides
• Reinforced crankcase adds to engine's durability and reliability
• Stronger hardened nickel valves offer superior heat resistance and enhanced reliability
• Supercharged and intercooled 1,498cc, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine
• Two-layer oil cooler for efficient cooling

Hull

• Delivers the neutral handling and turning characteristics for which Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft are famous
• Feedback from Kawasaki's IJSBA championship-winning racing machines integrated into design enables it to cope with the engine's horsepower
• Hull offers a combination of straight tracking and responsive handling in both calm and rough-water conditions
• Integrated sponsons extend from the hull, providing wallow-free straight-line performance and contributing significantly to the 300LX's excellent maneuverability while helping to retain the narrow hull design
• The 300LX's deep-V hull enables a high bank angle and motorcycle-like turning performance. This reduces the lateral G-loads imposed on riders during turns, allowing them to better concentrate on riding
• The bottom of the hull slants upward steeply from the center section to the bow, so the Ultra 300LX can penetrate swells and waves with less shock, pushing through waves rather than bouncing over them at high speeds
• The ideal 22.5-degree V-angle at the bottom of the hull helps reduce unwanted spinouts during sharp turns
• The lower hull is designed to distribute the engine and power delivery loads over a wide area

STANDARD FEATURES

• 20.6-gallon fuel tank has more fuel capacity than any machine in its class
• 4-into-2-into-1 powerboat-style exhaust system routes the exhaust pipe upward
• A detachable drink holder with space for two drink bottles is mounted on the center console
• A long rear boarding step and dual grab handles make it easy to climb onboard, and the step retracts inside the bumper to prevent damage
• A quick and easy hose connection allows a simple method to flush sea water out of the engine
• Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) converts throttle lever input to an electronic signal that's used to control the throttle valve via an electric motor for optimum throttle response and smoothness
• Adjustment range is plus or minus 8 degrees from standard
• Allows the angle of the jet pump nozzle to be controlled to adjust the attitude of the hull to suit water surface conditions and riding styles
• Allows the smoothest path for exhaust gases, maximizing exhaust efficiency
• An eight-vane intake guide is used to smooth and regulate the flow of water from the impeller for efficient and powerful propulsion
• Cooler air results in higher combustion efficiency and high engine output
• Cruise control smoothly holds the 300LX at a set speed from 5 mph up to top speed
• Delivers compressed air continuously, not in waves, for smoother power delivery
• Developed from Kawasaki's racing machines, this pump was specially designed to deliver consistent output and good "bite" even when riding on rough water
• Eco Indicator shows when the 300LX's speed and throttle opening is in its most efficient range
• Economical Riding Indicator mode can be viewed on a graph on the LCD info screen
• Efficiently converts the Ultra 300LX's massive horsepower output into thrust using a 160mm-diameter jet pump
• Efficiently cools high-pressure intake air, as cooler air is denser and makes more power
• Ergonomic deck design gives plenty of legroom
• Features a groove from the center to the rear of the plate to enhance straight-line tracking
• Five-position adjustable handlebars accommodates a range of riders
• Five-way adjustable handlebars allow operation while standing or sitting and suit a wide range of riders
• Four-lobe design offers significant performance increase over standard roots-type unit
• Fuel Economy Assistance mode allows maximum fuel efficiency when going slow
• GPS mounting area is built into handlebar pad for convenient placement of navigation devices
• GPS-mountable handlebar pad accommodates a variety of GPS devices
• High-flow fuel injectors with four orifices are fitted for combustion efficiency
• Highly legible LCD screen
• Ideal for small items like a ski rope, a compact storage area is integrated with the under-seat rear grip
• Impeller features a 3-blade design that translates the 300X's engine output into superb acceleration performance and quiet operation
• Instrumentation includes riding modes, as well as external water and air temperature; clock; time, trip and hour meters; tachometer (in digital or graph displays); speedometer and max speed functions
• Kawasaki Smart Steering® (KSS®) monitors steering input and engine speed and, when certain conditions are met, raises rpm to help initiate a turn
• Largest fuel tank in class keeps the fun going longer
• Left-side reverse lever offers easy operation
• Liquid cooling allows the intercooler to maintain consistent thermal performance
• Massive, industry-leading storage capacity lets you bring your gear with you
• Mirrors are mounted to the upper deck to facilitate opening of the hatch cover
• One-touch 5 mph mode allows push button no-wake zone riding
• Plush, scalloped luxury seat enhances comfort during high-speed cruising. Two-tone upholstery accentuates the functional bolsters for rider and passenger
• Produces large amounts of boost even at low rpm for instant and powerful acceleration right off idle
• Produces more low rpm boost than competitive or aftermarket systems, with a maximum of 17 psi of boost pressure
• Provides a very flat and meaty torque curve with step-free power across the entire rev range without any of the lag associated with turbochargers
• Redundancy in the system helps ensure control is maintained in case of failure
• Seat offers roomy accommodations for three people
• Separate keys for full power operation and Smart Learning Operation
• Single throttle body per cylinder features a large, 60mm bore diameter
• Smart Learning Operation (SLO) allows newer riders to become familiar with the handling and response of this JET SKI watercraft at a more relaxed pace
• Stylish upper deck enhanced by rich metallic titanium color with luminous vintage red graphics
• Supercharged, intercooled 1,498cc engine puts out incredible power but is still designed for durability and reliability
• System force-feeds the engine two liters of air with every revolution, providing a constant supply of high-pressure intake air at all rpm
• The large-capacity, fully sealed storage area with a detachable storage tray has plenty of room for recreational equipment
• The Ultra 300LX offers 60 gallons of total storage capacity
• The Ultra 300LX's Kawasaki Splash Deflector uses three bottom-mounted ridges and an additional deflector mounted at the top to deflect water splashing forward from under the hull
• Two different air bypass valves are used to prevent over boosting at low and medium rpm
• Two separate keys, one for SLO mode and one for full-power operation, help prevent confusion over which setting is in use
• Two-tone LXury seat is ultra comfortable whether riding stand-up, seated or with passengers
• Whether turning or rocketing forward, at high speeds or low, the Quattro KSD minimizes spray, allowing greater rider concentration
