ENGINE
High performance 2-stroke engine
􀂄 The cylinder head has a narrow squish band for increased top-end power.
􀂄 The crankshaft is shaped to reduce turbulence in the crankcase and increase primary compression.
􀂄 The bridges between the intake and exhaust ports are machined for better seizure resistance.
Kawasaki Integrated Powervalve System
􀂄 KIPS varies the exhaust port height to broaden the useful rpm range for good low and mid-range without sacrificing top-end power.
Fuel system
􀂄 The 28 mm Keihin PWK carburettor helps boost mid-range and top-end power using a crescent shaped slide to enable the needle to sit closer to the intake ports for quicker throttle response.
􀂄 Large bores in the front and back of the carburettor and a smooth shape boost flow for more mid- range and top-end power.
􀂄 The right side of the air box is cut back to increase and accept air flow from behind the number board and a large diameter boot from the air box to the carburettor improves air flow.
TRANSMISSION
Clutch
􀂄 The right hand engine cover provides a separate clutch cover for quick servicing without removing the water pump.
6-speed transmission
􀂄 The ends of the shift forks are hard-chrome finished for durability.
CHASSIS
High-tensile steel perimeter frame
􀂄 High tensile steel perimeter frame provides excellent rigidity and torsional strength.
􀂄 The fuel tank carries its fuel load low in the frame to improve handling and make the bike feel lighter.
􀂄 The footpegs are wide for excellent control, made of cast steel for strength, and use a 10 mm pivot for durability.
Inverted 36 mm front fork
􀂄 Inverted forks are more rigid, providing better steering response and control.
􀂄 Front fork settings provide a progressive ride to better resist bottoming and suit larger and more aggressive riders.
􀂄 Compression damping is 18-way adjustable and the cartridge design means better action and more consistent damping.
􀂄 The huge aluminium upper fork tubes measure 49.5 mm in diameter for flex free performance.
Uni-Trak® rear suspension
􀂄 The bottom link design keeps the weight low for a lower centre of gravity, which makes the bike feel lighter and easier to handle.
􀂄 Rear suspension settings provide a progressive ride to better resist bottoming and accommodate larger, more aggressive riders.
Front and rear disc brakes
􀂄 A single 220 mm front disc with dual piston caliper and single 184 mm rear disc with single piston caliper ensure excellent stopping power and feel.
