The Jet Ski STX-12F has a 16.4 gal fuel tank for more riding time between fill-ups and an LCD instrument panel allows riders to monitor fuel level, speed, engine rpm, trip distance and time. Another large storage area is located under the seat. A hydraulic damper holds the front storage hood open, allowing easy access until the operator closes it. The STX-12F features water-resistant storage space, an easily accessible glove box and front storage compartment. The rear deck can also accommodate a cooler or other items needed for a day on the water. Reboarding in deep water is simplified with the automatically retracting boarding step located at the rear of the hull. The open rear deck has space easily used for getting into skis or as a diving platform. If the handlebar is fully turned in both direction and the engine rpm drops from a designated rpm, such 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. KSS features a steering sensor that is electronically linked to an on-board microprocessor. The STX-12F is also equipped with Kawasaki Smart Steering® (KSS®). A reverse function allows easy maneuverability in tight quarters. The direct drive pump has no gear reduction unit, allowing the engine to turn a lower rpm for lower stress, less wear and tear, lower vibration levels, less noise and better fuel consumption. The STX-12F features an open-loop cooling system that utilizes an intake filter and draws cooling water from the jet pump, ensuring consistent operating temperatures for maximum performance.Ī direct-drive axial-flow jet pump is connected to an oval-edge, stainless steel, three-blade impeller. To reduce vibration, the engine is rubber-mounted.

The large-capacity air box is specially designed to both boost power and reduce intake noise levels. While highly tuned, the engine’s exhaust system is water-jacketed to help reduce under hood temperatures and keep it running as quietly as possible. The Kawasaki STX-12F is designed to be quiet, reliable and environmentally friendly.
