  1 Horsepower measured in PS at the crankshaft under controlled conditions. Actual performance may vary. POWERTRAINThe 2015 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 310X astonishes with 310 horsepower[1] thanks to an engine that is the basis for an open-water, race-winning powerplant. It propels the sporty-handling hull that’s capable of tackling rough water with ease, or comfortably hauling three adults in addition to an impressive payload. Power, handling, versatility – the Ultra 310X brings it in ways the PWC competition simply can’t.With 310 horsepower1 on tap, the Ultra 310X’s Digital Fuel Injected (DFI®) 1,498cc engine is the reigning king of thrust, and its crown is the high-tech Eaton TVS series supercharger. The supercharger gives the engine exhilarating yet linear power, and its race-derived hull design is capable of carving precise turns in a wide range of water conditions, from sheet-glass to chopped-surf; exactly what hard core PWC performance enthusiasts would expect from a Kawasaki Jet Ski watercraft.If strong acceleration is your idea of a good time, then the Ultra 310X, and its fuel-injected, DOHC, inline four-cylinder engine offer plenty of entertainment with a pulse-quickening performance like no other PWC powerplant on the water. Its roots-type Eaton Twin Vortices Series (TVS) supercharger uses a pair of four-lobe rotors to boost engine output. The key lies in its fixed-displacement design, which produces large quantities of boost at all rpm, from idle to redline. It gives the 310X a flat torque curve and linear power across the rev range. Yes, the 310X is quick, but it’s also smooth!The Ultra 310X has seamless power delivery thanks to its ability to channel compressed air through the engine at a steady rate, instead of in waves, as other superchargers do. And its liquid-cooled intercooler helps to cool the compressed intake charge as it enters the Ultra 310X’s combustion chambers. Cooler air equals denser air, which means less power is lost to performance robbing engine heat.The 310X features an intake manifold that is long and slim to increase low-mid range power, while power and greater fuel efficiency are achieved via a high-volume fuel pump. Kawasaki’s Fuel Economy Assistance mode in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) significantly increases range for long-distance riding.Ultimate performance is nothing without rock-solid reliability, and the 310X engine was built from the bottom to top for long-lasting durability in a supercharged application. The 310X’s pistons have a V-groove at the second ring (between the top and second ring grooves) for more consistent oil retention at high loads. Toaid piston cooling, the oil jet system that cools the undersides of the piston crowns uses two jets per piston rather than just one for enhanced performance. Baffles in the oil pan help prevent oil from accumulating on one side of the pan during tight turns or sudden acceleration or deceleration, and the crankcase also has large return holes to facilitate oil return to the pan. The engine water jackets are thick for optimum cooling performance, and they feature a check-valve that opens when the engine is idling or stopped, but closes when it is running to keep the engine cool without over-cooling. The 310X also incorporates a knock sensor that improves engine protection by retarding ignition to suppress abnormal combustion – or engine knock – if it should occur. The system activates a buzzer and the condition is indicated on the instrument panel to warn the rider.A perfect example of Kawasaki’s engineering know-how lies in the Ultra 310X super-efficient oil cooler, which helps minimize engine temperatures by circulating oil between two cooling jackets. The result is 310 class-leading horsepower3 that’s also totally reliable.Last on the powertrain list is an advanced impeller design with specifically designed blade angles for better acceleration out of the hole. During acceleration, when cruising or at high speed, horizontal guide “vanes” on the propulsion grate improve hull tracking and reduce cavitation during acceleration for better hook-up. It’s just one more detail item that adds up to the most advanced production watercraft propulsion system in the industry. ELECTRONICSAn impressive collection of futuristic electronics is standard on the Ultra 310X. Naturally, Kawasaki’s high-tech Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is the command center of the entire system. The ECU coordinates the injectors and throttle bodies of Kawasaki’s highly advanced DFI to route the optimum amount of air/fuel mixture into the combustion chambers with help from the Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) system, which converts throttle lever inputs into electronic signals that are then passed on to the throttle body.Ultra 310X has technologically superior rider aids for a range of riding modes. A few examples include the Fuel Economy Assist mode for maximum economy, which switches the ECU to a fuel map that focuses on gas mileage. There is also a one-touch 5mph mode for no-wake zones and a convenient Electronic Cruise Control system to set a steady cruising speed when touring. The Smart Learning Operation, or SLO-Mode, reduces engine output so newer riders can become familiar with the handling and response of the Jet Ski watercraft at a more relaxed pace. The customer is provided with two keys, one for SLO-Mode and the other for full-power operation, to help prevent confusion over which setting is in use.Furthermore, the electronics package includes a smart Economical Riding Indicator on the digital display. This alerts the rider when the engine is operating in the most fuel-efficient manner, such as when planing at speeds where hull resistance is substantially reduced.Electric Trim Control (ETC) is another example of the advanced technology that Kawasaki engineers have packed into the Ultra 310X. The ETC allows the rider to control the nozzle angle of the 160mm jet pump to adjust the hull attitude to suit both water surface conditions and riding style. The system has a plus-or-minus range of eight degrees, and it allows the Ultra 310X’s hull to take the fullest advantage of its razor-sharp turning characteristics. HULLUltra 310X’s race-derived, fiberglass-reinforced hull is meticulously designed to be both incredibly strong and surprisingly light. Special reinforcements inside the hull help it to retain strength so its overall thickness can be optimized for low weight, which aids in maneuverability.The hull also features an ingenious cleaning system with a two-circuit design, with each circuit utilizing a dedicated flushing port for the engine and intercooler to facilitate easy maintenance. Edgy-styled contours and nose trim combine to give the Ultra 310X’s bow a sleek and aggressive look.ERGONOMICSOf course, it’s equally important that the Ultra 310X cockpit and rider accommodations are as useful and comfortable as its high-performance engine and hull features. Front and center is a high-visibility instrument panel with an all-LCD info screen design that’s not only futuristic but also allows the rider easy monitoring of all the machine’s vital information. Aided by a visor for easier viewing in sunny conditions, the highly legible LCD display boasts a fuel consumption function that can display gallons per hour or gallons per minute, a boost meter scale and riding-mode displays along with a range of other functions, including clock time, trip and hour meter; digital or bar-graph tachometer; water and air temperature gauges; speedometer and max-speed functions. Keeping track of the Ultra 310X’s vital signs is a cinch.The Ultra 310X SE’s ergonomic appointments not only match its quality aesthetics, but they’re designed for supreme rider comfort to boot. The Ultra 310X handlebar sits in a naturally ergonomic position and isadjustable to five different positions to fit a wide range of riders and riding styles. The wide bar offers plenty of leverage for easy maneuverability, which makes long rides more comfortable, and its gun-grip style handgrips offer a natural feel for reduced hand fatigue as well as sportier looks.The 310X SE hull-mounted mirrors include a curvature that gives the rider a wide view for excellentrearward visibility. A special two-piece Sportseat was designed for aggressive sport riding and features a raised bolster to support the rider under hard acceleration.  The sport seat’s narrow front facilitates sitting or standing when the Ultra 310X SE is ridden solo. The highly functional passenger handrail positioning places the handrail higher for a more natural ergonomic location, helping to reduce passenger fatigue.And Kawasaki engineers didn’t stop there. The Ultra 310X’s deck design gives all riders plenty of legroom for ideal comfort, and its deck material offers excellent grip for the rider’s feet. A reverse lever on the left side of the craft is also ergonomically designed for easy and precise operation. FUEL & HAULING CAPACITYWith 20.6 gallons of fuel capacity – the most in its class – the Ultra 310X allows plenty of range for long-distance rides. Up front, a handy storage bin with a generous 54 gallons of capacity is located under the front cowl, and dual drink holders keep refreshments within easy reach. Total combined storage capacity for the Ultra 310X is an industry-leading 56 gallons. You really can take it with you!The Kawasaki Jet Ski watercraft is legendary in the personal watercraft world for good reason, and the Jet Ski Ultra 310X SE PWC lives up to its name by pushing the envelope of performance, style and versatility.ACCESSORIESKawasaki Genuine Accessories, such as a Protective Cover, Bumpers, Anchor, etc, are available atauthorized Kawasaki dealers. ABOUT KAWASAKIKawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
