2009 Kawasaki Jet Ski STX-15F SOLD

Product Description

Aquatic adventure with effortless and efficient fourstroke power


The STX®-15F combines over 30 years of JET SKI® knowledge and renowned Ninja® motorcycle heritage to deliver the pure waterborne excitement that knowledgeable enthusiasts demand from Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft. A healthy part of its effortless control and lasting performance comes from the broad and smooth spread of power delivered by its clean-running, four-stroke, 1,498cc engine.


Being a Kawasaki, the STX-15Fs high-performance matches its high standards; earning a Three-Star Ultra-Low Emissions rating, and meeting the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) strictest standards, as well as the 2009 California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards. For 2009, the STX-15F is even cleaner with new fuel hose material and revised fuel tank filler.


Dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, fuel injection and electronic engine control (ECU) to harmonize the fuel and ignition systems provide maximum performance and reliability. A four-injector fuel injection system combined with a large 60mm throttle body delivers a quick response. The STX-15Fs four-stroke engine is rubber-mounted in the hull, and features a performance-tuned exhaust and a large-capacity airbox. The engine has a new head cover design, the water-jacketed exhaust system now uses fewer parts and the ECU settings are updated to match the engine changes.


Propulsion duties are handled by a direct drive axial-flow jet pump driving an oval-edge, stainless steel, three-blade impeller and an 82mm jet pump nozzle for powerful acceleration. Tuned to produce its peak power at a relatively low rpm, the STX-15F engine matches the impellers peak efficiency rpm ideally to provide a rider-friendly propelling performance. This direct drive arrangement eliminates any need for a complex gear reduction unit and offers improved durability and increased fuel economy with less vibration and noise.


The STX-15F features Kawasakis innovative electronic Smart Learning Operation (SLO). Accessible directly on the instrument panel, SLO can be programmed to place a limit on maximum engine speed so novice riders can experience riding at a reduced speed as they master proper riding techniques.
Aggressive turning and high-speed stability are key performance attributes of the STX-15F. Its specifically designed injection-molded sponsons have a special lip for increased cornering grip and high-speed stability. The STX-15F also gets electronic turning help via the Kawasaki Smart Steering® (KSS®). KSS features an on-board microprocessor that is electronically linked to a steering sensor. When the handlebar is fully turned in either direction and the engine rpm drops from a designated rpmas when the throttle is released at speedthe microprocessor activates the system, which raises engine rpm to provide thrust for maneuvering.


Additionally a molded-in Kawasaki Splash Deflector (KSD) is incorporated into the hull design to help minimize spray on the rider. This muscular and aggressive looking STX-15F may be lighter and more compact than the competition, but its well endowed with a roomy riding position that makes aggressive performance riding easier and suits a wider range of riders.


The spacious rear deck of the STX-15F makes it easy to get into water skis or on a wakeboard. An automatically retracting boarding step located on the rear of the hull simplifies boarding in deep water. There is no shortage of space to stow items on the STX-15F. The rear deck can accommodate items needed for a day on the water, like a cooler, along with a water-resistant storage space, an easily accessible glove box and additional room for gear located under the seat.
Like the rest of the high-quality styling of the STX-15F, the hatch cover is sleek ABS plastic and uses a hydraulic damper to hold it open, allowing easy access until the rider closes it. Also made of ABS plastic, the mirrors echo the sleek lines and are mounted directly to the deck.


With a generous 16.4 gallon fuel capacity allowing extended rides, there is plenty of time to enjoy the cockpit features. These include a LCD instrument panel with fuel level, speed, engine rpm, trip distance and time information available and warning lamps to alert the rider of a low fuel level or high engine temperature, along with a magnetic keyed ignition switch that helps deter unauthorized operation.
