2009 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra LX for Sale

1,498cc, 4-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
• 4 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

Additional Specifications

• Coupling: Direct drive from engine

Capacious Storage

• The large-capacity, fully sealed 53 gal. storage area is fitted with a detachable storage tray and has plenty of room for recreational equipment
• On the center console is a glove box with built-in drink holder incorporating space for 2 drink bottles
• Ideal for small items is a compact storage area under the rear passenger seat

Comfort and Convenience

• New luxury touring seat incorporates specific support areas for the rider and passenger, to offer increased confidence and a more relaxing experience
• 5-way adjustable handlebars allow operation while standing or sitting for a wide range of riders
• Ergonomic deck design gives 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

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-loaDual Sport imposed on riders during turns
• The 22.5° V-angle at the bottom of the Ultra LX’s hull helps prevent spinouts during sharp turns and to provide a smoother ride in rough water
• Placing the battery near the center of the machine, optimizes weight balance in the hull and frees up space inside the engine bay to help maximize storage capacity
• Bottom of the hull slants upwarDual Sport 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 speeDual Sport, 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 contributing significantly to the Ultra LX’s excellent high speed maneuverability while helping to retain a narrow hull design

Fuel Injection

• Large single 60 mm throttle body
• Digital fuel injection provides great throttle response, smooth engine performance and quick acceleration, as well as easy starting and excellent fuel economy
• 4-orifice, high-flow fuel injectors provide efficient combustion

Kawasaki Smart Steering® / SLO-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
• 2 separate keys, one for SLO-mode and one for full-power operation help prevent confusion over which setting is in use

Propulsion

• Large-diameter 155 mm 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 3-blade impeller unit delivers both high speed performance and quiet operation
• 8-vane intake guide smoothes and regulates the flow of water from the impeller for efficient and powerful propulsion
• The reverse lever on the left side for easy operation while the rider modulates the throttle with their right hand

Quattro KSD

• The Ultra LX’s Kawasaki Splash Deflector (KSD) uses 3 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 speeDual Sport or low, the Quattro KSD minimize spray, allowing greater rider concentration

Ride Plate

• Features a groove from the center to the rear of the ride plate, to enhance straight-line stability
