Jet Ski Ultra 300X/LX: Manufacturing the King of Watercraft

[BuenaventuraRN]

DUDES!!!! this is IMPORTANT thosa are WATERcrafts they run in the water were the weight its not that important like it is on the road, they are floating so it means that that technically they boat have the same waight 0 its the size ans shape of the HULL who matters in the fricction force the kawasaki run faster i se them running whit the rxtx sea doo and at the 2 seconds the rxtx its lose. PLUS kawasaki crafts have better quality than sea doos

I raced one of these with my SHO with a riva racing stage 1 kit in Clear Lake TX and it didn't keep up as much as I thought, and no I don't have any internal add on's to the SHO just outside add on's. But over all it looked pretty cool and ran great. I like both too. No disrespect to either brand.

you suck building pwc. i bought a 300x and came loose steering cable 15min after starting. and 5 hours reverse cable rear nut came off!! japan made is japan made!!

It's no fun riding a stand up when you're gonna be riding all day..

Especially if you like riding far out in the ocean when a nice storm is making big waves..

kawasaki kind of failed with this model they still have a lower power to weight ratio than seadoos 2011 rxt x there controls still look like they were desinged in 1990 and they got there power by cramming 17psi of boost into it way more than should be from the factory they should have redesinged the whole jetski not throwen another patch job like they did from theultra 250 to 260

@94sss10

Thats right about the power to weight ratio. Who cares if this thing has 300hp when it weights 300 some odd pounds more than the RXT X. Seadoo is still the best!

[DANIAC262]

@sabsterblaster An RXT-X weighs 855 lbs without gas 951 on a full tank of gas... the 300x weighs 1018.7 lb.** Includes all necessary materials and fluids to operate correctly, full tank of fuel (more than 90% of capacity) and tool kit (if supplied). Thats nowhere near 300 lbs thats 67.7 lbs maybe less dude, nice try though.

[DANIAC262]

@94sss10 No, they didn't fail. The power to weight ratio on the 300x is 0.295 (hp/lb) the RXT-X is 0.273 (hp/lb). They did redesign the whole ski too, they didn't just increase boost.

[94sss10]

@DANIAC262 its funny every sorce that has tested this craft other that kawasaki says the dry weight is 1040.8 doing the math 300/1040.8=.2882 lbs/hp rxtx 260/855=.3040 lbs/hp, i very nealy bought this model because it has 300hp so i spent a good 2hrs comparing them side by side and i dont belive for a second it weights 1018 with gas, its massive!. that said i dont argue its the best in rought water, but i ride lakes so i bought the best for me rxtx and very happy i did. but buy what you like.

@94sss10

i just bought one and put it on truck scale and weighs in at 1021.65...pretty darn close

Getting it...............

[GIGABACHI]

No wonder is such a Biatch to work on these things, the engine and all the fat pieces get drop in before even both halves of the hull are bonded togheter...they make it look all so quick and painless, SO WRONG.

Supercharged must be a BLAST but NA is easier/cheaper to maintain and repair.

Yamaha's NA 1.8L VXS comes to mind. I cringe when i look inside the Ultra 300x engine compartment and it's MSRP. Hope they got fixed the Gas on the Oil problem most of the 250s and 260s had and Kawi denied it.

Nice. How about a new Freeride Stand up!!

[4strip]

Once you start to be addicted to the green color, u'll never get rid of it!

And, I just need to say that Agata is godly cute =-))

[ToastToGo]

That is pretty awesome.

[HONDASBEST]

no dirt bikes?!... Can you guys please put up a video on how you build a Kx250f or Kx450f.

[tzan94]

great, another couch in the water. Why don't you come up with a new stand up??

[JungleListSoldier]

@tzan94 because standups are gay

[tzan94]

@JungleListSoldier because you actually have to exercise when you ride them?

[scubasteve728]

kawasaki and kawasaki jet skis are the best
