2010 Kawasaki Jet Ski® Ultra® 260LX for Sale

155 mm Jet Propulsion

• Efficiently converts the Ultra 260LX’s massive horsepower into thrust using a large-diameter 155 mm 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 260LX’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

260 Horsepower Supercharged Engine

• Supercharged and intercooled, 1,498cc, liquid-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine
• 8.4:1 cast pistons with machine finishing for excellent durability
• High-lift cams – 8.5 mm intake; 8.2 mm exhaust – flow plenty of air for maximum power
• Inconel exhaust valves for superior heat resistance and enhanced reliability
• 33.4 mm intake and 28.3 mm exhaust valves
• Check valve between the cylinder jacket and the water muffler shuts the water flow off at over 2,000 rpm, keeping the cooling water inside the cylinder jacket
• Precise power adjustments are easy with a throttle lever designed to prevent finger fatigue on longer rides

Air-to-Water Intercooler

• 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

Capacious Storage

• Over 60 gallons in total storage capacity – the largest in the industry
• The large-capacity, fully sealed 58-gallon storage area with a detachable storage tray has plenty of room for recreational equipment
• Mounted on the center console is a detachable drink holder with space for two drink bottles
• Ideal for small items like tools, a compact storage area is integrated with the under-seat rear grip

Comfort and Convenience

• Five-way adjustable handlebars allow operation while standing or sitting and suit a wide range of riders
• Relatively narrow seat is comfortable whether riding stand-up, seated or with passengers
• The 2-piece seat, which offers roomy accommodation for three people
• 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 are mounted to the upper deck to facilitate opening of the hatch cover

Exhaust

• 4-into-2-into-1 powerboat-style exhaust system routes the exhaust pipe upwarDual Sport Allows the smoothest path for exhaust gases, maximizing exhaust efficiency

Extra-large Fuel Capacity

• 20.6 gallon fuel tank has more fuel capacity than any machine in its class

Fuel Injection

• High-flow fuel injectors with four orifices complement the increased power output and improve combustion efficiency
• Single throttle body features a large, 60 mm bore diameter

Kawasaki Smart Steering®/SLO-Mode

• Kawasaki Smart Steering® (KSS®) monitors steering input and engine speed and, when certain conditions are met, raises rpm to help initiate a turn
• Smart Learning Operation (SLO) allows newer riders to become familiar with the handling and response of this JET SKI watercraft at a more relaxed pace
• Two separate keys, one for SLO-mode and one for full-power operation help prevent confusion over which setting is in use

LXury Details

• The Ultra 260LX features a scalloped luxury touring seat designed for enhanced long-distance comfort. Contoured for a good ergonomic fit, the LX seat offers ultra-comfortable accommodation for three
• The seat’s steps allow riders to sit in the “saddle” during strong acceleration or stand and shift rearward in rough conditions so the thick, impact-absorbing padding reduces strain on the thigh muscles
• First-class design forgoes the high-flash graphics of pure sporting machines, in favor of a rich design rendered in beautiful paintwork

Quattro KSD

• The Kawasaki Splash Deflector 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 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

Roots-Type Supercharger

• Force-feeDual Sport 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
• 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 11.4 psi of boost pressure
• Two different air bypass valves are used to prevent over boosting at low and medium rpm

Stronger Hull

• Rigid hull is designed to work with all that supercharged 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 loaDual Sport over a wide area
• The 260X’s deep-V hull enables a high bank angle, motorcycle-like turning performance. This reduces the lateral G-loaDual Sport 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 prevent spinouts during sharp turns
• Delivers the neutral handling and turning characteristics for which Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft are famous
• Bottom of the hull slants upwarDual Sport steeply from the center section to the bow, so the Ultra 260LX can penetrate swells and waves with less shock; delivering extreme stability at low speeDual Sport and pushing through waves rather than bouncing over them at high speeDual Sport
• 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 260LX’s excellent high speed maneuverability while helping to retain the narrow hull design
