2011 Kawasaki Ultra® LX
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.

1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - Strong engine provides excellent low and mid-range torque
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - Dual overhead cams (DOHC) are light and compact for less valve train inertial mass
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - Four large valves per cylinder provide better intake and exhaust flow for optimum torque and power
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - Intake and exhaust valve lift as well as timing are set to reduce exhaust emissions
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - Intake tract designed for maximum performance
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - Waterproof ECU and ignition coils protect the ignition system from electrical shorts
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - 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
1,498cc, Four-stroke Engine - Large capacity airbox lowers engine noise and improves air intake flow
Fuel Injection - Large single 60mm throttle body
Fuel Injection - Digital fuel injection provides great throttle response, smooth engine performance and quick acceleration, as well as easy starting and excellent fuel economy
Fuel Injection - Four-orifice, high-flow fuel injectors provide efficient combustion
Propulsion - Large-diameter 155mm jet pump efficiently converts the engine’s horsepower into thrust
Propulsion - 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
Propulsion - The large, sophisticated three-blade impeller unit delivers both high speed performance and quiet operation
Propulsion - Eight-vane intake guide smoothes and regulates the flow of water from the impeller for efficient and powerful propulsion
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
Composite Hull - 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
Composite Hull - 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
Composite Hull - 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
Composite 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 provides extreme stability at low speeds, while allowing the hull to push through waves rather than bounce over them at a higher pace
Composite Hull - 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
Quattro KSD - 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
Kawasaki Smart Steering® and Smart Learning Operation Mode - 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
Kawasaki Smart Steering® and Smart Learning Operation Mode - 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
Comfort and Convenience - Five-way adjustable handlebars allow operation while standing or sitting for a wide range of riders
Comfort and Convenience - Ergonomic deck design has plenty of legroom for rider-friendly seating accommodations
Comfort and Convenience - A long rear boarding step makes it easy to climb onboard, and the step retracts inside the bumper to prevent damage
Comfort and Convenience - A quick and easy under-hood hose connection allows easy flushing of sea water out of the engine
Comfort and Convenience - Mirrors mounted on the upper deck facilitate opening of the hatch cover
Capacious Storage - 60 gallon storage capacity is the largest in its class
Capacious Storage - The large-capacity, fully sealed 58-gallon storage area is fitted with a detachable storage tray and has plenty of room for recreational equipment
Capacious Storage - Glove box on the center console has a built-in drink holder with space for two drink bottles
