| The Kawasaki JET SKI® 800 SX-R stand-up model
personal watercraft provides a unique and thrilling
experience for the water sports enthusiast. The exhilaration
of banking into a turn, leaning the body into a cool
breeze and gently pulling the trigger-type throttle
to accelerate over the open water is a special experience
that only comes when riding a Kawasaki.
The high-performance JET SKI 800 SX-R is powered by
a twin-cylinder, 782cc two-stroke engine and produces
the most horsepower available in a production stand-up
JET SKI watercraft. It is fed by a pair of 40mm Mikuni
carburetors and features a waterproof and maintenance-free
Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) system with digital
advance. Aggressive exhaust port timing and a large-diameter
exhaust pipe help provide superior top-end power while
a water-jacket surrounding the exhaust pipe helps to
reduce underhood temperatures and suppress noise.
Rather than add the additional weight of an oil injection
system, the 800 SX-R engine runs on a pre-mixed fuel/oil
mixture. This allows serious enthusiasts the ability
to fine-tune their mixtures for various conditions.
The 800 SX-R also comes equipped with a fresh water
flush fitting that is adaptable to a standard garden
hose and helps operators rinse out the motor’s
cooling lines. Plus, it allows the hood to remain on
the craft for less noise while flushing.
The hull of the 800 SX-R is designed for exceptional
stability yet does not sacrifice turning prowess. This
increased stability not only enhances rough-water handling
for racers, it also makes it easier for beginners to
master stand-up riding more quickly. The hull design
also provides more footwell area to give the rider more
room to maneuver, vary foot placement and shift body
weight. The handlepole placement provides optimum control
and comfort. Soft padding covers the tray area for improved
rider comfort as well.
The hull of the 800 SX-R is made out of fiberglass
reinforced plastic. This helps to make the hull as light
as possible while retaining maximum strength. Extra
fiberglass has also been placed in key areas to further
improve hull durability and sponsons are placed just
under the hull/top deck bond line to enhance turning.
The hull's compact size also simplifies transport and
storage.
The top deck of the 800 SX-R is also made of fiberglass
reinforced plastic so that it is tough and damage-resistant.
Other features include integrated foam flotation that
is built into the deck and handlepole to make the 800
SX-R virtually unsinkable.
