1,552cc 50° V-Twin, SOHC Engine

Special cam timing and lift enhance low and mid-range power. Hidden oil lines clean up overall engine appearance.

4-Valve Cylinder Head

Large intake and exhaust valves for increased performance. Valve shape is similar to those in the Ninja motorcycle line for better flow and more power. Large intake port for increased power. Provides maximum valve area for optimum intake and exhaust flow.
Hydraulic Valve Lash Adjusters
Keeps valves quiet with no maintenance, no adjustment required.

Digital Fuel Injection

Precise fuel metering for great fuel mileage, easystarting, excellent response, and outstanding power. Airflow controlled by two 40mm throttle bodies for increased performance.
Liquid Cooling
Tall radiator with shroud provides optimum cooling. Straight-bladed auxiliary fan runs quiet and helps keep things cool in traffic. Maintains consistent engine temperatures for long engine life and sustained power during hard use.
Dual Plug TCBI with Digital Advance Microprocessor
Controlled timing, never needs adjustment. Two spark plugs in each combustion chamber cuts detonation for extra durability.
Hydraulic Clutch
Release Easy to operate with a light clutch pull. No adjustments make it easy to maintain.
5-Speed Transmission.

Strong gears handle the high torque of the large engine. Close ratios for sportier performance. Positive Neutral Finder Just lift the pedal from first gear at a stop to find neutral easily, every time. A Kawasaki exclusive.
Steering Lock

The steering lock is located on the lower triple clamp to make it easier to use.
Low Seat

Built for style and low height.
Redesigned dampers
Reduce vibration.
Self-Cancelling Turn Signals
The turn signals turn off automatically after 8 seconds, and after traveling 65m.
Radial Mounted Front Disc Brakes

Radial mounted 4-piston front brake calipers. Instead of mounting the calipers with threaded tabs cast near the top of the caliper , the radial design utilizes integrated mounting points at both the top and bottom of the caliper , with the mounting bolts inserted through the rear of the caliper instead of the side/front. This makes the caliper more rigid, which improves brake feel over a wider range of operation. A separate brake pad is used for each piston. One large pad can deform with the heat generated by hard riding, resulting in a loss of brake feel at the lever . Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming so that they maintain consistent brake feel.
Shaft Drive

Tapered roller pinion gear bearing for increased durability. A reliable and quiet, low-maintenance system.
Multi-Plane Reflector Halogen Headlight
Brighter, whiter light for better visibility. Clear lens makes a strong styling statement.
Wide 3-Spoke Wheels

Radial tires enhance performance.
43mm Inverted Cartridge Front Fork
Provide rigidity for performance and a sporty appearance. Big 25mm front axle for increased stability .
Air -Assisted Rear Suspension
Dual air shocks are adjustable to match load and road conditions. Swingarm stiffness balance matches the engine output. Rebound damping is 4-way adjustable to tailor fit the ride.
Large Flangeless Fuel Tank

Good fuel economy with fuel injection and a 17 litre fuel tank provides more kilomters of fun between refills.
Electric Speedometer

An electric speedometer reduces weight and eliminates the front wheel drive unit and cable. The pick -up sensor mounts to the front gear case. The speedometer features a digital odometer, trip meter and clock
