Kawasaki 800 SX-R Jet Ski

Detailed description

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.
