Features :
90 degree v-twin cylinder engineering for smooth, well-balanced power output in a compact package
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S utilizes a 90-degree V-twin cylinder architecture, specifically engineered to deliver exceptionally smooth and well-balanced power in a streamlined, compact footprint. This precision-balanced configuration virtually eliminates the harsh vibrations often found in high-displacement engines, protecting both the operator and the mower's chassis from mechanical fatigue. By optimizing the engine’s geometry, Kawasaki has managed to house a massive 999cc displacement within a space-efficient design, ensuring that even at peak 35 HP output, the power delivery remains consistent, fluid, and refined
Overhead valve technology for maximum power and quiet operation
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S incorporates advanced Overhead Valve (OHV) technology, a design that optimizes the placement of the intake and exhaust valves directly above the combustion chamber. This configuration allows for a more direct, high-volume airflow, which is essential for extracting the maximum 35 HP and torque from the 999cc block. Beyond performance, the OHV layout ensures more efficient heat dissipation and smoother valve actuation, resulting in significantly quieter operation and lower fuel consumption compared to traditional side-valve engines.
Multi-port digital fuel injection for precision-designed power
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S is equipped with multi-port digital fuel injection (DFI), a sophisticated system that utilizes an electronic control unit (ECU) to deliver the precise amount of fuel required for every engine stroke. Unlike traditional carbureted systems, this multi-port setup injects fuel directly at the intake ports, ensuring an perfectly atomized air-fuel mixture for precision-designed power. This results in near-instant throttle response, optimized fuel economy, and consistent performance across varying altitudes and temperatures, allowing the 35 HP block to maintain peak efficiency even under the most taxing commercial loads.
Pressurized lubrication system and spin-on oil filter
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S features a professional-grade pressurized lubrication system paired with a high-efficiency spin-on oil filter, ensuring automotive-level protection for its 35 HP internals. This system uses a dedicated high-volume pump to force a constant stream of clean oil directly to critical high-load areas, such as the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings. By utilizing a premium, easy-to-replace spin-on filter, the engine continuously strips away microscopic abrasives, maintaining oil purity and consistent pressure even when operating on steep inclines or during prolonged shifts in high-heat environments.
Cast iron cylinder liners provide increased protection and longevity
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S is engineered with heavy-duty cast-iron cylinder liners, providing a rugged, wear-resistant foundation that significantly boosts engine protection and longevity. These industrial-grade sleeves are designed to withstand the intense friction and thermal stress of a 35 HP workload, maintaining consistent compression over thousands of hours of operation. Unlike standard alloy bores, these high-strength liners provide the structural integrity required for a commercial-grade 1000 Series engine, ensuring your investment remains reliable and powerful for the long haul.
Multi-stage dual-element canister air filtration system for day-long operation
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S is outfitted with a multi-stage, dual-element canister air filtration system, specifically engineered to support grueling, day-long operation in high-debris environments. This industrial-grade assembly utilizes a primary filter to capture large particles and a secondary safety element to trap microscopic dust, ensuring only medical-grade clean air enters the 35 HP combustion chamber. The oversized canister design provides an massive surface area, allowing the engine to maintain peak airflow and horsepower even when working in "dust-bowl" conditions that would choke standard filters.
Two-channel forced air-cooling design prevents operation while boosting efficiency
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S features an innovative two-channel forced air-cooling design, engineered to eliminate overheating and significantly boost thermal efficiency. By utilizing dual dedicated air pathways, this system intelligently directs high-velocity airflow over the hottest internal components, such as the cylinder heads and oil cooler. This advanced management of operating temperatures ensures the 35 HP engine remains within its optimal thermal range during non-stop commercial use, preventing power fade and protecting the engine's long-term structural integrity even in punishing summer heat.
Auto-compression release for reliable, consistent starting
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S is equipped with an automatic compression release (ACR) system, a precision mechanical feature designed to ensure reliable and consistent starting every time you turn the key. By momentarily reducing the pressure inside the combustion chamber during the initial cranking phase, the ACR allows the starter motor to turn the 999cc engine over with minimal resistance. This significantly reduces the electrical load on the battery and the mechanical strain on the starter, resulting in an effortless, "automotive-style" ignition process even in cold weather or after long periods of storage.

Metal engine cover with integrated clean-out ports
-
The Kawasaki FXT00V-(H)S08-S features a rugged metal engine cover engineered for superior durability and thermal management. Unlike common plastic shrouds, this heavy-duty steel housing provides maximum impact resistance in harsh commercial environments. It is equipped with integrated clean-out ports, allowing operators to quickly and easily remove trapped grass and debris from the cooling fins without disassembling the engine. This design ensures that the 35 HP block maintains peak airflow, preventing overheating and significantly simplifying your routine maintenance schedule.
