How to correctly flush your Kawasaki STX-15F

Jamie Eade from Brisbane Kawasaki, walks you step by step through the correct flushing process.

[@HeyDude93gt]

You know, I never thought about there being different water hose threads until now. and with that, I thank you

[@georgehartigan5918]

Great video. One tip, here in the states (New Jersey), when winterizing, I flush the engine and exhaust with RV Marine Antifreeze. This prevents any chance of freezing. Thank you for the video!

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

Thanks George. Our lowest temp here in Brisbane is around 5 degree's celsius for maybe 1 week of the year. The rest of the year it averages 26 degree. No need to winterize over here.

[@K38rescue]

Outstanding, great tutorial! Thanks Jamie

Question I have two 2016 15F Kawi's I want to tow behind my Star Cruiser 32 ft boat... Is there lines I should plug before I tow it?? Thanks in advance

[@antonis2814]

Great video and perfect motor.Some people say that you should not open the tap for full water.What is your experience?

[@K38rescue]

Thanks Jaimie, great vid

[@nometalgearr]

Hey Jamie, thanks for the video. If you can kindly summerize (even in a comment) the steps to winterize sxt15f. In my mind, an oil and filter change, fuel stabilizer, system flush with anti freeze and spark plug compartment fogging (I've seen people do it on seadoos, not sure if it's needed with kawi)

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

As above mate, that is the correct.

[@colemancarson6629]

Can you guys do a simple coolant line clamp check and cable grease DIY for us?

[@shockwave5150]

I love it! that's how you do it, it's even fun to do.

[@ryanzammit1]

What do you wrecking of an stx 15 f o8 model with 150 hrs??

[@ryaneckard500]

Awesome video could you do one of winterizing the same ski!!!

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

Hi Ryan, We don't have the need to Winterize ski's here in Brisbane. We ride all year round. However I think we could do a video in the near future for you. Subscribe to the channel to make sure you get notified. Thanks

[@V29546]

Good video. Why coat engine with wd40??

[@HypnoManBill]

Good question

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

To prevent corrosion from salt water, salt air rusting the bolts / surfaces.

[@elgato-tz1de]

please, if you could give me a clarification I would be very happy !!! they could be the coils, or it is the carburation or the injection

[@elgato-tz1de]

hi I have the same bike I wanted to ask you if you can tell me why when the engine is hot when you suddenly blow off the bike, it's fine from cold

[@jodigonzales4721]

Question for you? Does the standard flush port actually flush through all of the water lines especially the water intake lines? I have excess debris in the stator cover, which is causing ski to overheat immediately, but will flush fine with no overheating for 15 mins..Please let me know.. Thankyou

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

On the STX, it does. But in reverse. If you can't get it out by flushing you'll need to remove them and clean out.

[@rebeccarorke4228]

Do you have an tutorial on how to change oil filter in a 2009

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

we don't sorry. We do have service manuals and owner manuals on our website. www.brisbanekawasaki.com.au/collections/manuals-digital-downloads

[@prefersoxygen9373]

At the end of your hose where it connects to your ski you should have a simple on off valve right there just in case your ski suddenly dies to prevent flooding the motor. I always blow the excess water out for like 30 seconds like he did. Tilt the bow up and let any water drain out. Ride safe 🤟

[@webbey6479]

If you run on tank water and have lowish water pressure is it ok if its just dribbling out the tell tale

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

If you know the reason why it is dribbling out the tell tail, yes. The ski will alert you with heat code if it is not getting enough water supply

[@SlawnTrek]

CAN I flush if the engine is still warm ?

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

Absolutely, but best to hose it down when it's cool.

[@V29546]

New to jet ski. I flushed my 2020 stx today and had the water coming out the back but not the tell tale hole. I had the water at a decent pace but maybe I needed a little more so that it comes out the tell tale hole?

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

Turn the water tap all the way on and check your hose for kinks. It should flow out the tell tale. If not it's either a blockage inside the tell tale (wasp nest etc) or a blockage at the manifold into that pipe, you can remove the pipe and blow through it, you may need to use a shortened piece of coat hangar and poke in the the manifold piece if it is inside the manifold.

Can someone please help me find the right flush adapter he’s using in the video, the quick release adapter

[@jenniferlittau2380]

Does this apply to 12f as well?

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

Sure does

[@dyllman98]

Hey im looking at a 2010 model. How reliable are they?? It's got 42 hours on it and wants 2,000 USD. You think its a good deal?

[@TheManWhoSawTomorrow]

42hrs is nothing for a jetski. thats a really good price.

[@BrisbaneKawasaki]

42hrs on a Jetski is low, however 3.8hrs a year is a very bad thing. Marine recreation vehicles need to be used or sold. Sitting around is very bad for them.

[@mizaelsalespraiano6602]

good afternoon my jet kawasaki stx 15f for a few days here he left the normal game more after it heats up it doesn't work anymore than the normal game but it doesn't work could someone help me?
