The Honda AquaTrax R-12X Jetski is one powerful machine, with its 1235cc liquid cooled, turbocharged four-stroke engine providing all the muscle you’ll need to leave others eating your wake. Throw in an off-throttle steering system, a selectable speed limiter, electronic keyless ignition with three-dimensional mapping and two-up seating, and the AquaTrax R-12X Jetski has got all the components you’d expect to find in a top-notch performer.

Class-leading performance is provided by a water-cooled IHI turbocharger with water-cooled intercooler. The AquaTrax® R-12X turbocharger produces a maximum boost of 13 psi to generate 32 percent more power than a normally aspirated engine. The turbine bearing is an enclosed, ceramic-ball design that withstands sustained high-rpm compressor operation while providing nearly vibration- and friction-free performance.

Water-cooling of the turbocharger housing maintains optimum turbine operating efficiency, while the water-cooled intercooler assures a denser intake charge to provide maximum power and combustion efficiency. An electronic control unit (ECU) monitors, boost pressure, engine speed, cylinder head temperature and an engine knock sensor to manage an electronic waste gate valve that controls turbocharger boost, protecting vital engine components and maintaining long engine life.

Features

Engine/Drivetrain:

  • Lightweight, liquid-cooled, DOHC 16-valve 1235cc dry-sump four-cylinder engine features a one-piece upper-crankcase/cylinder block engineered to withstand the rigors of marine duty. The inherently efficient, low-emissions four-stroke design consumes less fuel than a comparable two-stroke engine and meets all current CARB and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions standards.
  • Side-mounted cam chain and ultra-narrow cylinder-sleeve spacing reduce engine size and weight.
  • Crankshaft main bearings feature a micro-grooved bearing surface to improve oil retention and bearing durability as lateral loading occurs throughout a broad range of operating conditions.
  • DOHC-actuated valves use a simple, lightweight and direct cam-over-bucket design.
  • Four-valve cylinder head design with a narrow, 30 degree included valve angle creates a compact combustion chamber for optimum efficiency and power output at all rpm levels.
  • Silent-type cam chain reduces engine noise, while an automatic chain tensioner virtually eliminates maintenance.
  • Idle screw adjustment conveniently located on front side of engine for ease of adjustment.
  • Oil jets located on the crankcase main journal castings continually cool piston undersides, ensuring consistent operating temperatures and even better engine life under maximum power.
  • Air intake system features an intake port mounted centrally in the hull and a labyrinth airbox construction with paper air filter. Together they keep water out of the engine during normal operation and if the craft is accidentally overturned.
  • High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) delivers fuel at 43 psi to four injectors, each mounted in a 38mm throttle body. Fuel is delivered through four holes in each injector, producing a highly combustible air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency and power.
  • The ECU provides two digital 3-D fuel injection maps for each cylinder, creating the ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings. A sophisticated throttle sensor and advanced fuel injection mapping combine to produce smooth and linear throttle response.
  • A unique fast-idling system uses an electric stepping motor to maintain a stable idle speed when the engine is cold. An automatic fuel-enriching system is integrated into the PGM-FI module, eliminating the need for a manual choke.
  • Four waterproof transistorized direct-ignition coils integrate the spark plug cap and the high-tension lead to produce a high-voltage, long-duration spark, providing maximum performance at high engine-output levels.
  • Iridium-tip spark plugs produce maximum spark performance.
  • Engine cooling system allows water from the jet pump to circulate through two separate circuits to cool the engine and exhaust manifold, ensuring consistent operating temperatures for each system.
  • Unique three-way coolant coupler and specially designed discharge outlet reduce engine coolant flow during idling and low-speed operation to prevent over-cooling, assuring smooth operation and low emissions. A one-way valve permits simplified coolant system flushing.
  • Dry-sump engine incorporates an oil reservoir mounted adjacent to the cylinder bank. The tank shape and location, together with a specially designed internal multi-baffle system, optimize engine lubrication under a wide variety of marine operating conditions.
  • A uniquely designed crankcase breather system featuring three breather chambers prevents oil from flowing out of the engine or clogging the breather system if the hull is accidentally overturned.
  • Water-cooled cast aluminum exhaust manifold contributes to total heat management and reduces exhaust noise.
  • Crankshaft output end is directly coupled to the jet pump drive via a rubber damper, providing shock-free, efficient power transfer while minimizing lateral crankshaft load forces.
  • Engine power and pump characteristics are carefully matched for maximum performance without the use of power-robbing gear-reduction systems.
  • Unique Honda-designed Solas 155mm jet pump with three-blade impeller is matched to four-stroke power characteristics.
  • Pump servicing features include easy-to-disassemble pump, driveshaft, and driven coupling, and an easily accessible driveshaft bearing grease fitting.

Hull:

  • Hull design provides exceptional low- and high-speed cornering performance without sacrificing top-speed performance.
  • Dry-sump design allows the engine to be mounted low in the hull, resulting in a very low centre of gravity that contributes to exceptional handling performance.
  • Sponson design further contributes to the AquaTrax’s low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability, giving the two-passenger R-12X an even more aggressive cornering character than the three-passenger models.
  • Ride plate designed for more agility and light feel.
  • Strong, lightweight fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) hull and deck are joined and permanently sealed at the gunwale, providing the AquaTrax with a distinctive and attractive profile.
  • The liner-type FRP inner hull and encapsulated styrofoam increase hull rigidity more than 200 percent compared to a single-hull design.
  • The AquaTrax hull is designed to be a stable platform for mounting from deep water and to be easily uprighted in case of accidental overturns.
  • Footwell and rear deck areas have an anti-slip surface to provide sure-footed comfort when mounting, operating and dismounting the AquaTrax.
  • Forward-located large-capacity, 62.8 litre polyethylene fuel tank is attached to the hull with rubber-cushioned hold-down straps. A two-way valve is provided to control internal tank pressure and prevent water incursion or fuel leakage if the hull is accidentally overturned.
  • Storage is available in two sealed compartments, with a 19.7 litre front storage box located under the front hood and a 2.3 litre compartment located in front of the rider.

Additional Features:
