2026 Kawasaki Jet Ski STX 160LX for Sale

Stepping up from a smaller-displacement ski usually means one thing: more cylinders and more cc to work with. The Kawasaki Jet Ski STX 160LX for sale here runs a 1498cc inline-4, naturally aspirated, fuel injected with no carburetor, through a DOHC head with 16 valves at 4 per cylinder. Direct drive transmission keeps the driveline simple, with no supercharger or turbo to service.

What does the Kawasaki Jet Ski STX 160LX for sale actually run?

Bore is 83mm with a 2.73 in stroke, compression ratio 10.6:1, and a 60mm fuel injector feeding regular gas. Cooling is open-loop water, and engine displacement-to-weight is rated at 1.73 — a figure worth asking us to explain in context against a lighter or heavier competitor.

• 1498cc inline-4, 4-stroke, DOHC, 16 valves
• Fuel injected, no carburetor, naturally aspirated
• Direct drive transmission
• 20.6-gallon fuel capacity
• Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) hull
• 134.6 in (11.25 ft) length, 45.1 in height

Hull material is FRP, chosen for impact resistance and rigidity over a lighter plastic hull, which tends to suit a larger-displacement ski built for stability rather than trick riding. Length runs 134.6 in (11.25 ft), noticeably longer than a compact sport ski, with a height of 45.1 in.

Riders comparing this against a smaller or larger hull should look at the rest of our personal watercraft for sale, and anyone taking delivery can buy watercraft accessories online from the same yard.
