Introduction
Supreme Power, Luxurious Comfort
Combining luxury and power, the Jet Ski® Ultra® LX watercraft
sports a multitude of features that makes riding the waves a
real pleasure. This naturally aspirated version of our ultimate
Jet Ski model produces eye-popping power via a race-derived jet
pump, while its deep-V hull provides stability. For a long day
out on the water, the Ultra LX boasts class-leading fuel capacity
and industry-leading storage, ensuring that riders can take along
all they need. And to keep all those aboard comfortable, a luxury
seat with bolsters for each person enhances comfort while cruising
at all speeds. Five-position adjustable steering accommodates
people of many sizes, and splash deflectors minimize spray to
keep operators and passengers drier.
The hull with a 22.5-degree V-angle is the same design
used on Kawasaki's flagship Ultra 300LX. Its responsive turning
and neutral handling mean that the Ultra LX slices easily through
swells and waves and fluently carves banked turns without imposing
high-g loads. This compelling machine will make an operator want
to be out on the water from sunup to sunset.
But it's not just handling that gives the Ultra LX its charm.
The 1,498cc DOHC inline four-cylinder engine is the other major
element of the performance formula. The race-developed propulsion
unit features a large-diameter 155mm jet pump combined with an
oversize impeller and jet nozzle that converts the engine's power
into 956 pounds of thrust. Its stunning, smooth acceleration
and power translate into enough speed to satisfy even the most
demanding sport riders.
Luxurious rider and refined passenger accommodations polish off
the Ultra LX's sporty abilities. With its specially designed
supportive seat and smart five-way adjustable steering handle,
the Ultra LX suits a variety of rider sizes and styles, from
a hard-charging standing position to a leisurely sitting one.
While riders are enjoying the all-day comfort of the Ultra LX,
they can do so with the peace of mind that they have brought
everything with them in the industry-leading 60 gallons of built-in
storage space, or in the detachable storage compartment that
can hold even more. Plus the fun can keep on going longer, thanks
to its largest-in-class 20.6-gallon fuel tank, which gives the
Ultra LX the longest cruising range of any PWC in its class.

Features
Key Features
- Stable and sporty handling in all water conditions
- Deep-V hull provides better grip for racing-like performance
- Industry leading storage capacity lets you bring all the gear
you need
- Largest fuel tank in class keeps the fun going longer
- Scalloped luxury seat enhances comfort during high-speed cruising
- Five-position adjustable steering adapts to a variety of riders
- Splash deflectors across the bottom of the bow minimize spray
in a wide variety of conditions for greater rider concentration
- Retracting rear boarding step makes it easy to climb aboard
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine
- Strong engine provides excellent low- 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
- Waterproof ECU and ignition coils protect the ignition system
from electrical shorts
- 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
is capsized
- 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
Propulsion
- 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 stable 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 smoothes 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 high stability 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 provides extreme stability at low speeds,
while allowing the hull to push through waves rather than bounce
over them at a higher pace
- Integrated sponsons extend from the hull, providing stable,
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 stability
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
