What traits should a personal watercraft possess? We all know it should have plenty of power, look great, and have useful features to make it noteworthy. The Kawasaki JET SKI® STX®-12F watercraft has all that, with a few extras to keep it riding higher than the competition.
It all starts with the engine. The STX-12F powerplant was adapted from Kawasaki's leading-edge Ninja® motorcycle line. The dual overhead camshaft 1,199cc water-cooled engine makes plenty of power for optimum performance , and even boasts of low emissions and quiet operation. The STX-12F meets the strictest existing emission standards for both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). In fact, the STX-12F received CARB's ultra-low "three-star" rating in 2003, five years before it was required to by law.
The STX-12F also features four valves per cylinder, fuel injection and an electronic engine control unit (ECU) that coordinates the ignition system and fuel injection to provide maximum performance and reliability.
