2013 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra LX

Engine

• and mid-range torque
• Dual overhead cams (DOHC) are light and compact for less valve train inertial mass
• Four large valves per cylinder provide better intake and exhaust flow for optimum torque and power
• Intake and exhaust valve lift as well as timing are set to reduce exhaust emissions
• Intake tract designed for maximum performance
• Large capacity airbox lowers engine noise and improves air intake flow
• Strong engine provides 160 horsepower2 plus excellent low
• Unique semi-dry sump oil system lowers the crankshaft in the engine, eliminates the need for scavenging pumps, and keeps the oil in the sump instead of flooding the crankcase if the craft capsizes
• Waterproof ECU and ignition coils protect the ignition system from electrical shorts

Hull

• Bottom of the hull slants upward steeply from the center section to the bow, allowing the Ultra LX to penetrate swells and waves with less shock. This allows the hull to push through waves rather than bounce over them at a higher pace
• Delivers the neutral handling and turning characteristics that made Kawasaki Jet Ski® personal watercraft famous, yet the hull enables a high bank angle for motorcycle-like turning performance with reduced side G-loads imposed on riders during turns
• Design incorporates feedback from Kawasaki's IJSBA championship-winning racing machines for excellent tracking and responsive handling in both calm and rough water conditions
• Integrated sponsons extend from the hull, providing wallow-free straight-line performance and contribute significantly to the Ultra LX's excellent high-speed maneuverability while helping to retain a narrow hull design
• Placing the battery near the center of the machine optimizes weight balance in the hull and frees space inside the engine bay to help maximize storage capacity
• The 22.5-degree V-angle at the bottom of the Ultra® LX's hull helps prevent spinouts during sharp turns and provides a smoother ride in rough water

STANDARD FEATURES

• Compact storage area under the rear passenger seat is ideal for small items
• Deep-V hull provides better grip for racing-like performance
• Developed based on feedback from Kawasaki's race machines, this pump is designed to deliver consistent output and good "bite," even when riding on rough water
• Digital fuel injection provides great throttle response, smooth engine performance and quick acceleration, as well as easy starting and excellent fuel economy

• Glove box on the center console has a built-in drink holder with space for two drink bottles
• Industry-leading storage capacity lets you bring all the gear you need
• Kawasaki Smart Steering® (KSS®) monitors steering input and engine speed and, when certain conditions are met, raises rpm to initiate a desired turn, helping new riders better enjoy the performance of this remarkable machine
• Large single 60mm throttle body
• Large-diameter 155mm jet pump efficiently converts the engine's horsepower into thrust
• Largest fuel tank in class keeps the fun going longer
• Luxury touring seat incorporates specific support areas for the rider and passenger to offer increased confidence and a more relaxing experience
• Mirrors mounted on the upper deck facilitate opening of the hatch cover
• Retracting rear boarding step makes it easy to climb aboard
• Scalloped luxury seat enhances comfort during high-speed cruising
• Smart Learning Operation (SLO) allows novice riders to become familiar with the handling and response of this Jet Ski watercraft at a more relaxed pace before unleashing the full performance of the Ultra LX
• Splash deflectors across the bottom of the bow minimize spray in a wide variety of conditions for greater rider concentration
• Sporty handling and excellent tracking in all water conditions
• The large, sophisticated three-blade impeller unit delivers both high speed performance and quiet operation
• The large-capacity, fully sealed 58-gallon storage area is fitted with a detachable storage tray and has plenty of room for recreational equipment
• The reverse lever is on the left side for easy operation while modulating the throttle with the right hand
• The Ultra LX's Kawasaki Splash Deflector (KSD) uses three bottom-mounted ridges and an additional deflector mounted at the top to deflect water splashing forward from under the hull
• Two separate keys, one for SLO mode and one for full-power operation, help prevent confusion over which setting is in use
• Whether turning or blasting straight ahead at high speeds or low, the Quattro KSD minimizes spray, allowing greater rider concentration
