JET SKI ULTRA 260X

1,498 cm³ 4-Cylinder, DOHC 4-Stroke Engine

* Legendary Ninja-inspired engine adapted for personal watercraft use.

*Chrome composite plated cylinders are lightweight, durable, and quickly carry heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for supreme durability at high power output.

*Dry sump oil tank built into crankcase.

*Tip-over protection shuts engine off if craft tilts more than 61°.

4-Valve Cylinder Head

*High lift cams provide high performance.

*Better breathing for more power at high rpm.

*Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow.

*Corrosion-resistant materials used for durability in marine environment.

Supercharger

* Roots-type supercharger produces large amounts of boost, even at low rpm, for instant and powerful acceleration right off idle.

*Every supercharger revolution force-feeds the engine two liters of high-pressure intake air at all rpm for a very flat yet meaty torque curve and step-free power across the rev range with none of the time lag associated with turbochargers.

*Two air bypass valves prevent over-boosting at low and medium rpm.

*Boosts power to the equivalent of a normally aspirated

high-performance engine twice its size

Intercooler

* Pressurising the intake air heats it to extremely high temperatures which would rob power, but the liquid-cooled intercooler reduces intake air to ambient temperature, or even less, for higher combustion efficiency and more power.

Digital Fuel Injection

*High-flow fuel injectors at each cylinder complement the 260X’s maxium power output.

*Large 60mm throttle body for ample airflow.

Water Cooling

*Water jacket designed to ensure maximum cooling performance.

*Force fed from jet pump with inlet filter to prevent clogging.

*Water-cooled oil cooler helps regulate engine temperature.

TCBI Ignition with Digital Advance

*Transistorised ignition uses a digital microcomputer to precisely control optimum ignition timing.

*ECU and ignition coils are waterproof.

Smart Learning Operation (SLO) mode

* Activated with a separate key, the Smart Learning Operation feature limits engine speed to approximately 5,800 rpm, which reduces maximum speed by approximately 30 percent so that unskilled operators can practice maneuvering the watercraft at reduced power until they become more familiar with its operation. When activated, SLO appears on the multifunction meter screen and FPO (Full Power Operation) appears when normal operation is selected.

Water-Jacketed Semi Dry Exhaust System

*Double-walled exhaust manifold helps reduce noise.

*Water surrounding the exhaust system lowers engine compartment temperatures for more power.

*Semi-dry exhaust system is designed to prevent water from entering engine if the boat should capsize.

*New single waterbox muffler lowers noise and reduces weight.

*Exhaust Emissions meet CARB 2008 regulation.

Fiberglass Hull

* Designed using feedback from Kawasaki’s IJSBA championship-winning machines, the hull is longer and wider than that of the STX®-15F and offers the industry‘s best stability and responsive handling in calm and rough waters.

*Deep 22.5-degree V-angle at the bottom of the hull provides better “grip” for racing-like performance.

*Sponsons extend further from the hull to enhance straight-line performance and high-speed maneuverability.

*Four Kawasaki Splash Deflector (KSD) ridges across the bottom of the bow minimizes spray in a wide variety of conditions for greater rider concentration.

*High-performance ride plate with an added groove from the center to the rear enhances handling.

*Gel coat for a deep, lustrous, scratch-resistant finish.

*Standard re-boarding step.

Kawasaki Smart Steering

* A steering sensor is linked to the ECU to aid in boat handling when the throttle is quickly released from high speed.

Direct Drive Axial Flow Pump

*Large pump houses a big 155mm three-blade oval edge stainless steel impeller designed for low cavitation and improved thrust at higher speeds.

*Oval leading edge blade shape for maximum efficiency, minimum cavitation.

*Eight-vane guide smoothes and regulates water flow from the impeller for efficient and powerful propulsion.

*Direct drive from engine to pump; no gear reduction unit. Engine turns lower RPM for less stress, wear, fuel consumption and vibration.

*Injection molded plastic reverse bucket is durable and provides responsive backing action.

Largest in Class Capacity Fuel Tank

78 litre fuel tank increases cruising range.
