Review of STX-15F by TopSpeed.com · Starting with a high-performance engine from the legendary Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R motorcycle line, the Jet Ski STX-15F delivers a flat torque curve for a smooth spread of power across the entire rpm range. A long-stroke design was needed to achieve this broad torque curve, engine displacement was increased to 1,498cc. Dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, fuel injection and electronic engine control – to harmonize the fuel and ignition systems – provide maximum performance and reliability, and the fuel injection system utilizes four injectors and a large 60 mm throttle body to deliver a quick response. · The four-stroke engine is rubber-mounted in the hull and includes a water-jacketed, performance-tuned exhaust system, dual mufflers and a large-capacity air box. · For propulsion, the STX-15F utilizes a direct drive axial-flow jet pump connected to an oval-edge, stainless steel, three-blade impeller and an 82mm jet pump nozzle for powerful acceleration. The STX-15F engine produces its peak power at a relatively low rpm while matching the impeller’s peak efficiency rpm. This eliminates the need for a complex gear reduction unit, resulting in improved durability, increased fuel economy as well as reduced vibration and noise. · The Kawasaki Jet Ski STX-15F is equipped whit the Kawasaki Smart Steering® (KSS®), which features an on-board microprocessor that is electronically linked to a steering sensor. If the handlebar is fully turned in both direction and the engine rpm drops from a designated rpm as when the throttle is released at speed – the microprocessor activates the KSS, which raises engine rpm to provide enough thrust to initiate the desired turn. · The Kawasaki’s innovative electronic Smart Learning Operation (SLO) which is accessible directly on the instrumental panel can be programmed to place a limit on maximum engine speed so novice riders can experience riding at a reduced speed while they master proper riding techniques. · The Kawasaki Jet Ski STX-15F has a muscular and aggressive look, but is lighter and more compact than the competition. The hatch cover is styled from sleek ABS plastic, adding to the fresh, high-quality styling of the STX-15F, and a hydraulic damper holds the hatch cover open, allowing easy access until the rider closes it. The mirrors are also made of ABS plastic and mount directly to the deck, which adds to the sleek lines. The open rear deck of the STX-15F features abundant space for getting into water skis or on a wakeboard, and reboarding in deep water is simplified with an automatically retracting boarding step located on the rear of the hull. The rear deck can also accommodate items needed for a day on the water, like a cooler. There’s also a water-resistant storage space, very spacious at 23.5 gallons, an easily accessible glove box and additional room for gear located under the seat. Other features include a LCD instrument panel so the rider can monitor the fuel level, speed, engine rpm, trip distance and time. Fuel capacity is a generous 16.4 gallons, for extended rides. Warning lamps alert the rider to low fuel level or high engine temperature, and a magnetic keyed ignition switch helps deter unauthorized operation. · The technology build in this Jet Ski makes the ride perfect. There is so much power (160 hp), that even given poor conditions and a heavy load, this unit gets up to speed and out of trouble instantly. · An astonishing 976 pounds of thrust with the direct drive axial-flow pump twisting the three-blade oval-edge stainless impeller pushes the top speed up around 70mph in ideal conditions. The STX-15F gets to full speed very quickly even with 3 adults and in slightly rough water. Cruise is somewhere near 45 mph with the craft easily hitting the 58 mph mark full throttle with 3 adults riding. Cornering on the STX-15F is not for the faint hearted, this watercraft sticks like glue. Payment · At end of auction, Buyer to place $250 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours. Failure to do so will result in an unpaid violation, negative feedback and re-listing of the Jet Ski. · Prior to pick-up/delivery, which is at the Buyer’s arrangement and expense, remaining balance due via Cash, Cashier’s Check or e-check via PayPal. Credit cards via PayPal will also be accepted as long as Buyer agrees to pay the credit card processing fees of 2.9% of total winning bid. · Escrow via Escrow.com also acceptable, as long as Buyer agrees to pay all the escrow fees.
