HULL DESIGN
The comparison to Kawasaki’s ultimate personal watercraft is an apt one, becausethe Ultra LX incorporates many of the advanced features and technologies from the supercharged Ultra 310 family.
The advanced hull, for example, is a fiberglass-reinforced design that allowsserious maneuverability thanks to its 22.5-degree deep-V shape.

PROPULSION SYSTEM
There’s Ultra 310 technology in the propulsion system. The jet pump, driveshaft and nozzle share the basic designofthe 310 series, for example. This advanced system converts the horsepower of theUltra LX into immediate yet controllable thrust via a large-diameter 155mm jet pump. Combined with a steering nozzle designed for lighthandling, the system delivers consistent performance, and plenty of bite, even in rough water.
Everything Kawasaki knows about high-tech engine building goes into the super-efficient powerplantof the Ultra LX. The reliable 1,498cc inline-four four-stroke engine is based on the onepowering the legendary Ninja® ZX™-14R sportbike – the most powerful production sportbike on the planet.
It delivers stunning power – 160hp and nearly 1,000 pounds of thrust – plusmanageable throttle response thanks to its DOHC cylinder head design, lightweight pistons, advanced fuel injection system, efficient intake tracts and optimized exhaust.
The big inline-four is also surprisingly fuel efficient, which means you’ll do a lot of exploration and wave-whipping before the extra-large 20.6-gallon fuel tank runs dry.

STORAGE AND COCKPIT
Another reason you can disappear all day on the Jet SkiUltra LX watercraft is its massive 60-gallon storage capacity, which means food, drinks, supplies, clothing and all kinds of gearcan be easily stowed.
The on-board comfort forthe rider and passengers is exemplary. There’s a soft,LXuryseat with support bolsters, five-position steering that allows the rider to dial-in the right position while standing or sitting, and splash deflectors minimize spray to helpkeep everybody dry. There’s also a large, easy-to-read LCD display that providesa multitude of key digital information, including water and ambient temperature. Its easy-to-use reverse lever offers light operation as well.

KAWASAKI SMART STEERING® (KSS®)
For optimum maneuverability, the Ultra LX personal watercraft gets electronic turning assistancevia its Kawasaki Smart Steering® system. KSS® features an on-board microprocessor that is linked to a steering sensor. When the handlebar is fully turned in either direction, and the engine RPMdrops belowa designated speed– such as when the throttle is released at speed – the microprocessor activates the system, raising engine speedto provide thrust for maneuvering.
There’s no end to the fun and exploration you can generate on a watercraft as performance-oriented, practical, fun and comfortable as the 2018 Ultra LX. Here’s what one journalist remarked after getting off an Ultra LX: “It unlocks parts of the ocean and planet you simply couldn’t get to before. And that’s an amazing and wonderful thing.” We couldn’t agree more.

Features and Benefits

Key Features

– Sporty handling and excellent tracking in all water conditions

160hp 1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine

– Strong engine provides 160hp2plus excellent low- and mid-range torque
– Dual overhead cams (DOHC) are light and compact for less valvetrain inertia
– Four large valves per cylinder provide better intake and exhaust flow for optimum power and torque
– 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, eliminating the need for scavenging pumps and helps to keep the oil in the sump instead of flooding the crankcase if the craft capsizes
– Large capacity airbox lowers engine noise and improves intakeair flow

Fuel Injection
– Large, single 60mm throttle body
– Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) provides great throttle response, smooth engine performance, 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 using feedback from Kawasaki’s race machines, the pump is designed to deliver consistent output and good “bite,” even when riding rough water
– The large, sophisticated three-blade impeller 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
– The design incorporates feedback from Kawasaki’s IJSBA championship-winning racing machines for excellent tracking and responsive handlingin 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 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
– The bottom of the hull slants steeplyupwards 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 higherspeeds
– Integrated sponsons extend from the hull, providing wallow-free straight-line performance and contributingsignificantly to the excellent high-speed maneuverability of theUltra LX, while helping to retain a narrow hull design

Ride Plate
– Features a groove from the center to the rear of the ride plate to enhance straight-line tracking

Quattro KSD
– The Kawasaki Splash Deflector (KSD) on the Ultra LX 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 running straight ahead at high or lowspeeds, 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 to 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 SLOmode and one for full-power operation,ensure the correct setting is chosen
