The 2009 Jet Ski SX-R is the original stand-up PWC that delivers the legendary Kawasaki power.
For watercraft traditionalists and aquatic adventurers seeking a stand-up variety of H2O excitement, Kawasaki’s Jet Ski 800 SX-R personal watercraft is the answer. A modern 781cc version of the legendary original Jet Ski that first ignited the personal watercraft blaze in 1973, the sizzling 800 SX-R continues to boil the water.
Engine
The 2009 Kawasaki Jet Ski 800 SX-R is powered by a compact and powerful 781cc two-stroke twin-cylinder engine. Fed by a pair of 40mm Mikuni carburetors, this powerplant churns out 699 pounds of thrust – the most power ever offered in a production Kawasaki stand-up. A waterproof, maintenance-free Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) system with digital advance, aggressive exhaust port timing and a large-diameter exhaust pipe help the twin to produce its blistering top-end power.
Not only the riders, but also everyone that want to spend a quiet day on the water, will be pleased by the 800 SX-R, because it uses a water jacket around the exhaust pipe to help suppress noise. The water jacket boosts its reliability by reducing underhood temperatures as well. Also helping raise reliability – while lowering maintenance efforts – is a freshwater flush fitting that fits a standard garden hose to help operators rinse out the motor’s cooling lines.
Exterior
Exceptional stability and turning dexterity are trademarks of the 800 SX-R’s innovative hull design. The same stableness that enhances its rough-water handling for racers makes it easier for beginners to master stand-up riding more quickly. Its spacious footwell area gives the rider room to maneuver, vary foot placement and shift body weight. Additionally, the handlepole placement offers optimum control and comfort. A soft padding over the tray area improves rider comfort even further.
The fiberglass reinforced plastic construction of the 800 SX-R hull and top deck helps to make the hull as light as possible yet tough and damage-resistant. Extra fiberglass is also applied in key areas to further improve hull durability. Its sponsons are just under the hull/top deck bond line to enhance turning.
The rugged fiberglass material combined with the integrated foam flotation built into the deck and handlepole make the 800 SX-R virtually unsinkable. The hull’s compact size also simplifies transport and storage, it fits in the bed of a standard-sized pickup truck.
If you want to beat every other jet ski on the water, or you just want to have fun the Kawasaki 800 SX-R is the best choice.
