The ER-6n ABS is at the very cutting edge of
contemporary design, with bold angles and sensuous
lines that scream attitude at every curve. But don’t be
fooled by this motorcycle’s aggressive looks - the ER-6n
ABS is highly accessible to riders of all ages and abilities.
Its compact chassis/engine combination, ideal rider
ergonomics and impressive but controllable performance
make the ER-6n ABS an extremely user-friendly
motorcycle with enough sass to put a smile on any
rider’s face.
649 cm³ Twin Cylinder DOHC Engine
• The ER-6n engine is tuned to provide strong mid range
torque and good top end power for excellent
performance in the city or on the highways.
• Parallel twin engine is the most compact in its category
and helps reduce the dimensions of the entire
motorcycle to keep it small and nimble.
• Tuned to deliver smooth, responsive power in the
low- to mid-rpm range with a smooth roll-on response
for negotiating city trafc.
• Triangular crank and transmission shaft layout makes
the engine very short from front to back, a semi-dry
sump oil system reduces overall engine height, while the
narrow pitch of the chrome composite plated aluminium
cylinders helps reduce engine width.
• Mufer with 3-way catalyser and bullet-tip opening is
mounted below the engine to help lower the centre of
gravity and aid weight centralisation.
• 180-degree crankshaft plus balancer shaft for
extremely smooth engine operation.
• Oil jets in the connecting rod big ends spray oil on the
undersides of the pistons to aid cooling.
Liquid Cooling
• Wide radiator maximizes cooling capacity to help
maintain consistent engine temperatures for long engine
life and sustained power during hard use.
• Allows closer engine tolerances for more horsepower.
• Coolant is routed through the engine cases to reduce
external hoses.
• Includes a temperature gauge.
Digital Fuel Injection
• 38 mm Keihin throttle bodies feature sub-throttle
valves for optimum performance and rideability.
• The sub throttles, located behind the main throttle
valves, are controlled by the ECU so that the EFI system
has more precise throttle response, similar to a
constant-velocity carburettor.
• Precise fuel injection plus exhaust catalyser
signicantly reduce emissions.
• Automatic fast idle system makes starting and
warm-up easy.
Digital Ignition
• Digital timing advance enhances power.
• Spark plug mounted “stick” ignition coils are compact
and help reduce weight.
6-Speed Transmission
• Cassette-style transmission puts the transmission
shafts and shift drum into a compact layout that is easily
removed as a single unit from the cases for easier
maintenance.
• Kawasaki Positive Neutral Finder just lift the gear lever
from rst when stopped and automatically select
neutral.
Trellis Frame
• High tensile steel trellis frame is small and light.
• Designed using 3-dimensional computer analysis to
achieve the optimum stiffness balance for better
handling.
• Narrow at the knees and feet for rider comfort and
control.
Single-shock Rear Suspension
• D-shaped swingarm and offset, lay down single rear
shock complement the frame design to create an
integrated line owing from the steering head to the rear
hub.
• Short, compact frame and engine design allows the
swingarm to be longer, which helps improve overall
handling.
Triple Petal Design Brake Discs with ABS
• Front brake callipers have big 27 mm pistons for
excellent brake feel.
• Petal design offers improved cooling and warp
resistance.
• Same disc design as found on the Ninja ZX-6R and
ZX–10R supersports machines.
• Front brake lever uses a ball-joint and revised pivot
location to deliver a smooth actuation of the master
cylinder piston.
• ABS function helps prevent wheel locking when braking
hard in a straight line.
