2011 ER-6nL ABS

The ER-6nL 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-6nL 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-6nL engine is tuned to provide a smooth delivery of torque which is ideally suited for learners and less experienced riders.

•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

lowto mid-rpm range with a smooth roll-on response for negotiating city traffic.

•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.

•Muffler 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

•38mm 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 significantly 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 Positve Neutral Finder just lift the gear lever from first 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 flowing 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 calipers have big 27mm 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.

6-Spoke Wheels

• The 6-spoke design requires much less material between spokes so that the rim thickness is thinner and overall wheel weight is reduced.
