-Supercharged and intercooled, 1,498cc, liquid-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine -Compression ratio raised from 7.8:1 to 8.4:1 via new cast pistons that also feature revised crowns with machine finishing and greater durability -New higher lift profile cams the intake increases from 7.8mm to 8.5mm; exhaust, from 7.5mm to 8.2mm contribute to the increased engine output -Inconel exhaust valves are fitted for superior heat resistance and enhanced reliability -33.4mm intake and 28.3mm exhaust valves -Ignition timing advanced 4-degrees also contributes to the most powerful production PWC engine in the world -Water cooling line modified to optimize the cylinder wall temperature. A check valve added to the coolant passage between the cylinder jacket and the water muffler shuts the water flow off at over 2000 rpm, keeping the cooling water inside the cylinder jacket -Lower crankcase strengthened around the oil-return passage to handle the increased engine output and further increase durability -Head cover revised for improved appearance Precise power adjustments are easy with a throttle lever that is designed to prevent finger fatigue on longer rides *Horsepower measured in PS at the crankshaft under controlled conditions. Actual performance may vary.-Increased hull rigidity at bow to balance hull performance with increased engine power -Feedback from Kawasakis IJSBA championship winning racing machines integrated into design enables it to cope with the engines horsepower -Hull offers a combination of high stability and responsive handling in both calm and rough-water conditions -The lower hull is specially designed to distribute the engine and power delivery loads over a wide area -The 260Xs deep-V hull enables a high bank angle, motorcycle-like turning performance. This reduces the lateral G-loads imposed on riders during turns, allowing them to better concentrate on riding -The idealized 22.5 V-angle at the bottom of the hull helps reduce unwanted spinouts during sharp turns -Delivers the neutral handling and turning characteristics for which Kawasaki JET SKI watercraft are famous -Bottom of the hull slants upwards steeply from the center section to the bow, so the Ultra 260X can penetrate swells and waves with less shock; delivering extreme stability at low speeds and pushing through waves rather than bouncing over them at high speeds -Battery located inside the front storage area near the center of the machine, avoiding concentrating heavy components at the rear and freeing up space inside the engine bay -Integrated sponsons extend from the hull, providing stable wallow-free straight-line performance and contributing significantly to the 260Xs excellent high speed maneuverability while helping to retain the narrow hull design-Force-feeds the engine two liters of air with every revolution, providing a stable supply of high-pressure intake air at all rpm -Produces large amounts of boost even at low r
