| Description |
-Supercharged and intercooled, 1,498cc, liquid-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine
-Compression ratio raised from 7.8:1 to 8.4:1 via new cast pistons that also feature revised crowns with machine finishing and greater durability
-New higher lift profile cams ? the intake increases from 7.8mm to 8.5mm; exhaust, from 7.5mm to 8.2mm ? contribute to the increased engine output
-Inconel exhaust valves are fitted for superior heat resistance and enhanced reliability
-33.4mm intake and 28.3mm exhaust valves
-Ignition timing advanced 4-degrees also contributes to the most powerful production PWC engine in the world
-Water cooling line modified to optimize the cylinder wall temperature. A check valve added to the coolant passage between the cylinder jacket and the water muffler shuts the water flow off at over 2000 rpm, keeping the cooling water inside the cylinder jacket
-Lower crankcase strengthened around the oil-return passage to handle the increased engine output and further increase durability
-Head cover revised for improved appearance Precise power adjustments are easy with a throttle lever that is designed to prevent finger fatigue on longer rides
*Horsepower measured in PS at the crankshaft under controlled conditions. Actual performance may vary.
-Increased hull rigidity at bow to balance hull performance with increased engine power
-Feedback from Kawasaki?s IJSBA championship winning racing machines integrated into design enables it to cope with the engine?s horsepower
-Hull offers a combination of high stability and responsive handling in both calm and rough-water conditions
-The lower hull is specially designed to distribute the engine and power delivery loads over a wide area
-The 260X?s deep-V hull enables a high bank angle, motorcycle-like turning performance. This reduces the lateral G-loads imposed on riders during turns, allowing them to better concentrate on riding
-The idealized 22.5? V-angle at the bottom of the hull helps reduce unwanted spinouts during sharp turns
-Delivers the neutral handling and turning characteristics for which Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft are famous
-Bottom of the hull slants upwards steeply from the center section to the bow, so the Ultra 260X can penetrate swells and waves with less shock; delivering extreme stability at low speeds and pushing through waves rather than bouncing over them at high speeds
-Battery located inside the front storage area near the center of the machine, avoiding concentrating heavy components at the rear and freeing up space inside the engine bay
-Integrated sponsons extend from the hull, providing stable wallow-free straight-line performance and contributing significantly to the 260X?s excellent high speed maneuverability while helping to retain the narrow hull design
-Force-feeds the engine two liters of air with every revolution, providing a stable supply of high-pressure intake air at all rpm
-Produces large amounts of boost even at low rpm, for instant and powerful acceleration right off of idle
-Provides a very flat and meaty torque curve with step-free power across the entire rev range without any of the lag associated with turbochargers
-Produces more low RPM boost than competitive or aftermarket systems with a maximum of 11.4psi of boost pressure
-Two different air bypass valves are used to prevent over boosting at low and medium rpm
-Inter-cooler pressure valve setting changed to improve the pressure control
-Efficiently cools the high-pressure intake air
-Cooler air results in higher combustion efficiency and high engine output
-Liquid-cooling allows the intercooler to maintain consistent thermal performance
-Efficiently converts the Ultra 260X?s massive horsepower into thrust using a large-diameter 155mm jet pump
-Developed based on feedback from Kawasaki?s race machines, this pump was specially designed to deliver stable output and good ?bite,? even when riding on rough water
-Revised impeller design features blades with less twist, more efficiently translates the 260X?s increased engine output into increased acceleration performance
-The large, sophisticated three-blade impeller also offers quiet operation
-An eight-vane intake guide is used to smooth and regulate the flow of water from the impeller for efficient and powerful propulsion
-Left side reverse lever for easy operation
-Engine Type Supercharged and intercooled, four-stroke, DOHC, four valve per cylinder, inline four-cylinder
-Bore and Stroke 83 x 69.2 mm
-Compression Ratio 8.4:1
-Induction System Roots-type supercharger with air-to-water intercooler
-Maximum boost 11.4 psi
-Maximum horsepower 260hp @ 7,750 rpm*
*HP measured in PS at the crankshaft under controlled conditions. Actual performance may vary.
-Cooling system Inducted water
-Fuel Injection Digital Fuel Injection
-Ignition TCBI with Digital Advance
-Starting Electric
-Lubrication Semi-Dry Sump system
-Coupling Direct drive from engine
-Propulsion system 155mm jet pump, axial-flow, single stage
-Impeller Three-blade, oval-edge stainless steel
-Maximum Thrust 1,585 lb.
-Overall Height 45.3 in.
-Curb Weight** 1062.8 lb. ** Includes all necessary materials and fluids to operate correctly, full tank of fuel (more than 90% of capacity) and tool kit (if supplied)
-Load Capacity 496 lbs
-Storage Capacity 53 gal.
