1 WATERCRAFT 2015 ULTRA LX ebony / metallic Phantom silver The JET SKI Ultra LX personal watercraft hits all the right marks when it comes to offering performance and value. It s an all-around, go-everywhere watercraft that matches fun and excitement with convenience and practicality. Because it shares many parts with its racier 310 series siblings, the Ultra LX delivers excellent performance for enthusiasts with tremendous comfort and cavernous storage capacity. It s very much an Ultra. KEY FEATURES: STABLE AND SPORTY HANDLING IN ALL WATER CONDITIONS MASSIVE INDUSTRY-LEADING STORAGE CAPACITY LARGEST FUEL TANK IN CLASS SCALLOPED LUXURY SEAT ENHANCES COMFORT 5-WAY ADJUSTABLE HANDLEBAR

Overall Length in. Overall Width 47.0 in. Overall Height 45.3 in. Curb Weight 933 lb. Load Capacity 496 lb. Storage Capacity 60 gal. Fuel Capacity 20.6 gal. Oil Capacity 5.3 qt. Warranty 12 months Kawasaki Protection Plus 12, 24, 36 or 48 months (Specifications subject to change without notice.) Includes all necessary materials and fluids to operate correctly, full tank of fuel (more than 90% of capacity) and tool kit (if supplied). (KP) = See Kaw-Pedia section for more details.* = Changes from previous model year. = Measured in PS at the crankshaft under controlled conditions. Actual performance may vary. 1,498cc 4-Cylinder, DOHC 4-Stroke Engine Legendary Ninja -inspired engine adapted for personal watercraft use. Chrome composite plated cylinders (KP) 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. Digital Fuel Injection (KP) Large 60mm throttle body with injectors at each cylinder. Intake tract designed to help provide the acceleration and power expected from a sport model. Large capacity, low-noise airbox. Fuel pump has a built-in pressure regulator to simplify fuel line arrangements. 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. Jet Pump Fitted with double-bearing driveshaft support and new shaft nut for added durability. Steering nozzle from the Ultra 310X is designed to reduce load and provide lighter steering.

3 HULL Hull Adopted From Ultra 310LX Offers superb rough-water handling and stability as well as nimble carving performance in calm water. Inside of bow reinforced for added durability. Aggressive styling presents a powerful image. 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) (KP) 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. CONTROLS Kawasaki Smart Steering (KP) A steering sensor is linked to the ECU to aid in boat handling when the throttle is quickly released from high speed. Reverse Lever Reverse lever body now same as Ultra 310LX with a larger, more ergonomic shape that fits more comfortably in the hand. Release button is larger to integrate with the lever body. Lever ratio reduces the effort required to engage reverse which improves low-speed maneuverability and control. Largest Capacity Fuel Tank in Class 20.6-gallon fuel tank increases cruising range.

4 ERGONOMICS Luxurious Cockpit Plush, scalloped luxury seat enhances comfort during high-speed cruising. Five-way adjustable handlebar suits a wide range of riders and riding styles and allows comfortable stand-up or seated riding positions. Easy-to-use left side reverse control. Instrument Panel Also adopted from the Ultra 310LX, the all-digital LCD screen is easier to read and displays water and air temperature in addition to the speedometer, tachometer, hour meter, clock, trip distance, trip time and fuel level. Positioned higher on the hull with a visor for improved visibility. Industry-Leading Storage Capacity Huge 58-gallon front storage compartment with removable tray. Center console storage area has a detachable drink holder with space for two water bottles. Underseat storage compartment is ideal for storing a tow rope.

5 KAW-PEDIA CHROME COMPOSITE CYLINDER PLATING Kawasaki s chrome composite cylinder plating is a mixture of nickel-phosphorous alloy, ceramic, silicone carbine and some organic materials that is bonded directly to aluminum cylinder walls. This plating improves heat transfer, is porous so it holds lubrication well, is hard to resist abrasion and seizure, and provides a consistent coating of the cylinder wall, even around the chamfered edge at the top of the cylinder. This is especially useful in two-stroke engines since the consistent edges of the cylinder ports resist snagging piston rings and allows the top of the exhaust port to be straight for smoother flow. Chrome composite plating adds durability, helps provide consistent power output, allows closer piston tolerances for more power and prevents hot spots that can lead to pre-ignition. DIGITAL FUEL INJECTION An on-board, digital microprocessor reads various inputs from the engine, i.e. ignition timing, rpm, and throttle position, and from the environment, i.e. air temperature and pressure. It uses the information to decide the precise amount of fuel that the engine needs at that moment, and injects it into the intake tract. The fuel injection system feeds the engine just the amount of fuel it needs, when it needs it. No extra fuel is wasted, nor is the engine forced to run too lean. The result is excellent fuel economy and, combined with power and torque when the rider demands it. The engine runs smoothly and powerfully from idle to top speed. KAWASAKI SMART STEERING (KSS) The Kawasaki Smart Steering system features a steering sensor that is electronically linked to an on-board microprocessor. If the handlebar is fully turned in either direction and the engine rpm drops from a designated rpm, such as when the throttle is released at speed, the microprocessor activates the KSS system which raises engine rpm to provide enough thrust to initiate the desired turn. Benefit: This system improves handling by helping initiate corners more smoothly at higher speeds. Average riders may not even know the system is there, since they normally apply the throttle when initiating a corner. KAWASAKI SPLASH DEFLECTOR (KSD) The Kawasaki Splash Deflector (KSD) is a seriesof ridges across the bottom of the bow of the watercraft hull. These ridges are carefully designed to catch water splashing forward from under the hull, and keep it from flying up in front of the watercraft and into the rider s face. Less splash means a drier, more comfortable ride. This feature is especially important if the water is cold or the weather is not really warm.
