Kawasaki Jet Ski X2 650 Personal Watercraft (1986-1995)

The Kawasaki Jet Ski X2 650, produced from 1986 to 1995, was a pioneering personal watercraft. It was Kawasaki's first mass-produced sit-down model, though its design, based on a stand-up hull, often encouraged a standing riding position. Powered by a consistent 2-stroke, 635cc twin-cylinder engine, it delivered 52 horsepower at 6,000 RPM throughout its production run. While there were no distinct "trims" in the traditional sense, the X2 650 received a series of significant year-to-year updates. Notable changes included the relocation of the air intake and an updated gas tank vent in 1987, and the introduction of plastic reed petals in 1990. A major update in 1991 brought a new 38mm Keihin carburetor, integrated electronics, and a stronger crankshaft, enhancing performance and reliability. These continuous improvements ensured the X2 remained a competitive and popular model until the conclusion of its first generation in 1995. FAQ:
