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
Large capacity airbox lowers engine noise and improves air intake flow
Fuel Injection
Large single 60mm throttle body
Digital fuel injection provides great throttle response, smooth engine performance and quick acceleration, as well as easy starting and excellent fuel economy
Four-orifice, high-flow fuel injectors provide efficient combustion
155MM Jet Pump
Large-diameter 155mm jet pump efficiently converts the engine�s horsepower into thrust
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
The large, sophisticated three-blade impeller unit delivers both high speed performance and quiet operation
Eight-vane intake guide smooths and regulates the flow of water from the impeller for efficient and powerful propulsion
The reverse lever is on the left side for easy operation while modulating the throttle with the right hand
Composite Hull
Design incorporates feedback from Kawasaki�s IJSBA championship-winning racing machines for excellent tracking and responsive handling in both calm and rough water conditions
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
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
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
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
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
Ride Plate
Features a groove from the center to the rear of the ride plate that enhances straight-line tracking
Quattro KSD
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
Whether turning or blasting straight ahead at high speeds or low, the Quattro KSD minimizes spray, allowing greater rider concentration
Kawasaki Smart Steering and Smart Learning Operation Mode
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
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
Two separate keys, one for SLO mode and one for full-power operation, help prevent confusion over which setting is in use
Comfort and Convenience
Luxury touring seat incorporates specific support areas for the rider and passenger to offer increased confidence and a more relaxing experience
Five-way adjustable handlebars allow operation while standing or sitting for a wide range of riders
Ergonomic deck design has plenty of legroom for rider-friendly seating accommodations
A long rear boarding step makes it easy to climb onboard, and the step retracts inside the bumper to prevent damage
A quick and easy under-hood hose connection allows easy flushing of sea water out of the engine
Mirrors mounted on the upper deck facilitate opening of the hatch cover
Capacious Storage
60-gallon storage capacity is the largest in its class
The large-capacity, fully sealed 58-gallon storage area is fitted with a detachable storage tray and has plenty of room for recreational equipment
Glove box on the center console has a built-in drink holder with space for two drink bottles
Compact storage area under the rear passenger seat is ideal for small items
