At a glance

Years made: 2017
Engine, as the records hold it: 1500
Strokes: Four-stroke
Fuel system: Fuel injection
Hull type: Stand-up
Model years on record: 1
Checked: The one SX-R 1500 model year is not verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; it names its source below.

Kawasaki numbers name the engine by its size class and are not measurements: a 550 is a 531, a 650 a 635, a 750 a 743.

Not your year? For other SX-R years: SX-R, 2018 to 2022; SX-R 160, 2024.

Year by year

The SX-R 1500 has one model year on record, 2017, so there is nothing to compare it with.
Model year	Engine, as the records hold it	Fuel system	Strokes	Hull type	What the record says	Source
2017	1500	Fuel injection	Four-stroke	Stand-up	The stand-up brought back as a four-stroke, and routinely confused with the SX-R 800 it is named after. Different machine, no shared parts. Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries it for 2017 under code JS1500AHF and heads the page "JET SKI SX-R", with no 1500 in the name; the 1500 is the reference's own disambiguation from the 800, kept because the 2018 to 2021 rows below carry the plain name and a later pass should settle the family under one spelling.
