THE MOST POWERFUL JET SKI SERIES IN HISTORY:MORE POWER. MORE VARIATIONS.

Kawasaki JET SKI personal watercraft have a long history of high performance. While the JET SKI ULTRA 300X and 300LX are already known as powerhouses on the water, Kawasaki engineers were still not satisfied.

By increasing engine efficiency they were able to increase output of the supercharged engine to 310 PS* – the highest in JET SKI’s 40-year history – to ensure the JET SKI brandremains synonymous with personal watercraftsupremacy.

Delivering even higher levels of performance and excitement, the new JET SKI ULTRA 310 Series is comprised of three models. Joining the X, LX models is a new variation, the R (Sport) enabling Kawasaki to meet the needs of a wider range of customers.

DOMINANT PERFORMANCE: MOST POWERFUL JET SKI ENGINE IN HISTORY


Fitted with a supercharger and intercooler, the liquid-cooled 1,498 cm3, In-line 4-cylinder marine engine that propels the ULTRA 310 Series models forward with an exhilarating rush of acceleration produces an output much greater than a normally aspirated engine of the same displacement. This is due in large part to the use of a roots type TVS supercharger, which generates boost even at low rpm to ensure powerful acceleration, right from idle. A number of changes to increase engine efficiency – by reducing mechanical loss, and through other improvements – elevate engine output to 228 kW (310 PS)*.

* Output measured at the crankshaft undercontrolled conditions. Actual performance mayvary.

Supercharger and Intercooler* Twin Vortices Series (TVS) Roots supercharger, featuring twin 4-lobe

rotors, is highly efficient and quite compact. Boost pressure is 16.8 psi.(Photo 2)

* Where some superchargers deliver compressed air in waves, the TVSunit offers continuous delivery, contributing to smooth throttle response.

* Internal planetary gearing increases supercharger speed 2.1 times,to ensure the necessary speed to deliver the high power output. Anexternal pulley has a 0.9 reduction ratio. The combination delivers therequired rotational speed while ensuring a low belt load.

* The roots type supercharger is known as a fixed displacementsupercharger. This design produces large amounts of boost even atlow rpm, for instant and powerful acceleration right off of idle. Withevery revolution it force-feeds the engine 2 litres of air (theoreticalvolume is 2,019.3 cm3 per engine revolution), ensuring a stable supplyof high-pressure intake air at all rpm. The result is a very flat and meatytorque curve and step-free power across the rev range, with none of thetime lag associated with turbochargers. (Photo 1)

* High-flow fuel injectors with 4 orifices complement the engine’ssubstantial output and contribute to combustion efficiency.

* A new fuel pump delivers fuel at a higher pressure (324 kPa[3.3 kgf/cm2, 47 psi] >> 380 kPa [3.87 kgf/cm2, 55.1 psi]), enabling agreater flow volume. This contributes to the increased power, improvedfuel efficiency, and enables a wider range of settings.

* New cast pistons feature a V-shaped groove added to the second land(between the top and 2nd ring grooves). The addition allows moreconsistent oil retention at high loads. Compression ratio is 8.2:1.

* Increasing the number of oil jets per piston from 1 to 2 increases pistoncooling performance. The new jet nozzles are smaller in size (8 mm >>5 mm).

Marine 1,498 cm3 In-line Four Engine* Bore and stroke measure 83.0 x 69.2 mm.

* A single throttle body is used with a bore diameter of 60 mm.

* To ensure ideal intake air pressure, not one, but two air bypass valvesare used. A vacuum air bypass valve is used to balance air pressureupstream and downstream of the throttle body. It works mostly atlow and medium rpm. A second, regulatory air bypass valve aids thevacuum air bypass valve in preventing over-boosting when the throttleis shut (or opened) suddenly. Should the system’s specified maximumpressure be exceeded, the regulatory air bypass valve is activated,allowing air to escape.

* Efficiently cooling the high-pressure intake air is a liquid-cooledintercooler. Friction between the air molecules heats the intake air toextremely high (power-robbing) temperatures, but the intercooler coolsthe air back down to ambient temperature. Cooler air results in highengine output. (Photo 3)

* Lightweight plasticintake manifold wasreshaped. Theslimmer, longer intakeroute (idealised forthe new engine)contributes toincreased low-midrange power. (Photo 4)

Propulsion (Jet Pump / Impeller)* To efficiently convert the ULTRA 310 Series engine’s massive power

into thrust, a large-diameter 160 mm jet pump is used.

* Developed based on feedback from Kawasaki’s race machines, thispump was specially designed to deliver breathtaking acceleration,stable output and good “bite,” even when riding in rough water.

* A large impeller, featuring a sophisticated 3-blade design, delivers bothhigh performance and quiet operation. A revised impeller blade anglecontributes to increased acceleration performance off the line.

* 8-vane guide smoothes and regulates the flow of water from the impellerfor efficient and powerful propulsion.

* Horizontal guide vanes on the grate “grip” the water, keeping the bowfrom rising on acceleration for improved stability. The improved hook-up enables a more efficient transfer of power to thrust.

* ø88 mm steeringnozzle, designedto be short andslim, ensures alight steering load.Handling feels lightdespite the highpower output.(Photo 5)

* Thicker water jacket distributes water evenly around the cylinder forincreased cooling performance. To help prevent dilution due to over-cooling, a newly added check-valve opens to release the water from thejacket when the engine is idling or turned off; closes when running toallow the jacket to fill.

* Oil cooler features an additional water-cooling layer to ensure adequatecooling at higher rpm.

* Baffle plates (2 longitudinal, 1 cross), added to the oil pan act aspartitions, helping to keep oil from collecting on one side of the panduring tight turns, or sudden acceleration/deceleration.

* Oil return holes (4) in the bottom of the crankcase are larger to facilitate(speed up) the return of oil to the oil pan.

* The ULTRA 310 Series models feature a 4-into-2-into-1 powerboat-styleexhaust system, which routes the exhaust pipe upwards. This allowsthe smoothest flow for exhaust gases, maximising exhaust efficiency.

* A second water muffler, added to the right side, provides greatervolume, which reduces exhaust back pressure. This in turn contributesto increase performance.

* With the second water muffler, volume is about double, which reducesmuffler noise for a quieter ride.


DOMINANT PERFORMANCE: SUPERB CALM AND ROUGH-WATER HANDLING

DOMINANT PERFORMANCE:SUPERB CALM AND ROUGH-WATER HANDLINGLoaded with technology from Kawasaki’s championship winning machines, the race-developed hull handles with precision and stability, with a high level of seaworthiness – and at speeds from idle to its impressive top end. Specifically designed to handle the enormous output from the supercharged engine, the hull achieves a balance of strength and light weight.

Lightweight Hull

Ride Plate

Sponsons

Quattro KSD* Like that of its predecessor, the deep-V hull design enables a high

bank angle, motorcycle-like turning performance. This reduces thelateral G-loads imposed on riders during turns, allowing them to betterconcentrate on riding. Measuring 22.5°, the idealised V-angle at thebottom of the hull helps prevent spinouts during sharp turns. As aresult, the ULTRA 310 Series models deliver the neutral handling andturning characteristics for which Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft arefamous.

* Feedback from Kawasaki’s numerous IJSBA championship winningracing machines contributed to a hull specially designed to cope withthe engine’s massive output while offering high stability and responsivehandling in both calm and choppy-water conditions.

* The bottom of the hull slants upwards steeply from the centre sectionto the bow, allowing the ULTRA 310 Series models to penetrate swellsand waves with less shock. At low speeds the result is great stability; athigher speeds the massive thrust enables the hull to push through mostwaves rather than bounce over top of them.

* The lower hull is specially designed to distribute the engine and powerdelivery loads over a wide area.

* With hull thickness determined based on a detailed strength analysis,the hull offers an idealised strength balance matched to the engine’shigh output, and a lightweight package. (Photo 6)

* A groove running from the centre to the rear of the ride plate makes iteasier to hold a straight course when running straight ahead.

* Ridges across the bottom of the bow, Kawasaki Splash Deflectorsdeflect water splashing forward from under the hull. A fourth splashdeflector mounted atthe top reduces sprayduring high-speedturns. Whether turningor blasting straightahead, at high speedsor low, the QuattroKSD minimises spray,allowing greater riderconcentration.(Photo 7)

* Sponsons extend from the hull to provide stable straight-line


FLAGSHIP FEATURES

* Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) converts throttle lever input to anelectronic signal. This signal is then used by the ECU to control thethrottle valves via electric motor. A Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) onthe throttle body provides feedback to the ECU.

* Redundancy in the system (APS and TPS each send two sets of signalsto the ECU) ensures some control is maintained in case of failure.

* The APS is located inside the deck (on the ceiling of the enginecompartment, in front of the engine) to ensure adequate protection fromwater and vibration.

* The APS and throttle lever are connected via mechanical cableensuring exposed equipment is sufficiently water resistant.

Electronic Throttle ValvesElectronic throttle valves efficiently manage the engine’s massive power output. They also make minute engine control possible, enabling easy switching between riding modes.

FLAGSHIP FEATURESAs Kawasaki’s flagship personal watercraft, the models of the ULTRA 310 Series look the part. Sleek styling, headed by an aggressive intake-style design at the bow, conveys their sporty prowess and ensures that these JET SKIs stand out on the water. But not all of their flagship features are obvious at first glance. Advanced technology – like electronic throttle valves, and the numerous riding modes – large storage space and largest-in-class fuel capacity are all concealed below deck. Others, like the all-digital instrumentation, ergonomic riding position and handle adjustability, will be best appreciated once seated at the helm.


FLAGSHIP FEATURES

* Cruising speed can be adjusted using the UP and DOWN buttons.

* During operation the speed displayed on instrument panel will flashslowly.

* After activation, the throttle is pulled all the way in to maintain speed.(This position is more relaxing than keeping the lever at partial throttle.)Releasing the throttle lever disengages the system.

Electronic Cruise Control

Fuel Economy Assistance Mode

This mode fixes speed (rpm) at the level specified. It is a convenient feature for long-distance cruising.

This rider-activated mode switches the ECU to a leaner fuel map that prioritises fuel economy over performance. With its revised settings, range when riding normally (ie. stopping and starting, accelerating and decelerating) is increased significantly, which makes it handy for long-distance touring.

* The mode is activatedby pushing the buttonon the right handlewhen riding. (Photo 9)

* When activated, theECU switches to ato a leaner fuel mapwhere air and fuelinjector volume areset for maximum fuelefficiency. Whenon, a mark appearson the LCD screen.(Photo 10)

* Fuel Economy Assistance Mode is turned on and off using a button onthe top of the left handle.

One-touch 5 mph Mode

* The mode is activated by pushing the button on the right handle whenidling.

* When activated, a “5” will flash on the speedometer display.

* To disengage, press the button again, or pull the throttle lever.

This handy mode is used in “No Wake” zones. It regulates engine speed to maintain a forward speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

Economical Riding Indicator

Electric Trim-control System

* Unlike the other riding modes, this handy feature is active all the time.The Economical Riding Indicator appears on the instrument’s LCDscreen to indicate favourable fuel consumption (i.e. at planing speed,when hull resistance is minimal). Paying attention to this indicator canhelp riders maximise their fuel efficiency.

* This convenient system allows the angle of the jet pump nozzle to becontrolled electrically (step-free adjustment range is +/- 8° from STD),making it easier for riders to adjust the attitude of the hull to suit watersurface conditions and riding style.

* In rough water, angling the jet pump upwards raises the bow for roughwater handling. Conversely, when conditions are smooth, angling thejet pump downwards lowers the bow for turning performance.(Illustation A, Photo 11)

All-digital InstrumentationThe all-digital instrumentation makes use of a single, highly legible LCD display. A revised design adds a higher quality image and increases visibility of some of the features.

* Instrumentation accommodates the engine’s various riding modes,as well as a new Current Fuel Consumption (measured at 1 secondintervals) function. External Water Temperature, Air Temperature,Clock, Time, Trip, Hour Meter, Tachometer (digital display or bar graph),Speedometer, Max Speed functions are available as before.

* Instrument panel position and cockpit visor design were selected toensure high visibility.

5-way Adjustable Handle* The models of the ULTRA 310 Series (except the ULTRA 310R – please

see below) featurea 5-way adjustablehandle that suits awide range of ridersand riding styles,allowing either stand-up or sit-down riding.(Photo 12)

Riding Position and ErgonomicsErgonomics on the ULTRA 310 Series models were designed to comfortably accommodate three people, as well as facilitate both stand-up and seated riding.

* Ergonomic deck design gives plenty of legroom without necessitating ahigh seat, for rider-friendly seating accommodations.

* Handle grips are positioned at a fairly wide stance, contributing to rider-friendly control. (Photo 13)

* The reverse lever, located on the left side for easy operation, featuresan ergonomic design (for both the lever itself and the lock-releasebutton) and offers light operation.

* Redesigned handraildesign is slimmer atthe front (betweenthe rider’s legs whenstanding), making iteasier for riders togrip with their legs.(Photo 14)

* Handrail also features a more ergonomic shape at the rear, positioningthe handrail higher, and offering a more concave grip.

* Revised mirror curvature offers a wider view for increased rearwardvisibility.

* A long rear boarding step makes it easy to climb on board, and the stepretracts inside the bumper to prevent damage.

* Offering more fuel capacity than any machine in its class, the fuel tankholds 78 litres of fuel.

* Immobiliser function incorporated into the ignition switch helps preventtheft. Works with both keys (full-power and SLO-mode versions).

* The ULTRA 310 Series models feature a built-in cleaning system topurge seawater used to cool the engine and intercooler. There are twoseparate circuits (one for the engine, one for the intercooler), each witha dedicated flushing port on the transom. Fitting a separate connectingtube is quick and easy. (Flushing the engine requires the engine to berunning; flushing the intercooler requires the engine to be off.)

* The KSS (Kawasaki Smart Steering) supplementary steering system isdesigned to assist new riders as they learn turning and manoeuvringof a personal watercraft. Experienced users may not even notice thesystem at all.

* Smart Learning Operation (SLO)-Mode function allows newer ridersto become familiar with the handling and response of this JET SKIwatercraft at a more relaxed pace before unleashing the full powerof the supercharged engine. Two separate keys (one for SLO-mode,one for full-power operation) make it easy for operators to know whichoperating mode they are using.

* Integral with the under-seat rear grip is a compact storage area ideal fortools and other small items.
