2011 Z1000 ABS
Other Super Naked models are often no more than supersport models with the fairings removed, so the scope of the
design is limited. As the 2010 Z1000 ABS was designed from
scratch, there were no design limitations and the new Z1000
has a stunning visual impact.
Supersport-based engines and chassis offer high
performance, but the number of riders who are able to enjoy
this performance on the street is limited. Rather than pursuing
speed and performance gures, Z1000 development focused
on the excitement derived from riding a sport bike on the
street, thereby achieving a high riding impact.
Engine tuning focussed on the feeling the rider gets when
opening the throttle. Open the throttle at any engine speed
and the engine pulls strongly, so sit back enjoy the
experience of the new Z1000.
GRUNTY HIGH-TORQUE ENGINE
* The engine offers greater power and torque than that of its
predecessor. The new displacement was chosen to keep the
Z1000 name.
FUEL SYSTEM
* Electronic fuel injection feeds the engine exactly the right amount
of fuel giving excellent power, fuel economy, driveability and starting.
* Ultra-ne injectors and small bore throttle bodies with oval sub-
throttles offer ultra-smooth response across the rev range.
* Downdraft throttle bodies allow intake air to travel the shortest
possible distance, offering improved performance. Longer funnels are
used to offer the best power characteristics for a Super Naked model.
* The crankshaft was lowered to allow for the longer stroke
and the engine’s dimensions are about the same despite the
90 cm³ displacement increase.
* A bore slightly smaller than the 2009 Z1000 but larger than
the ZX-10R, and a stroke longer than both, result in an engine
very strong in the rev range most used by Super Naked
machines.
* A secondary balancer driven off the crankshaft eliminates
excess vibration.
* Power delivery is quite linear, but the engine spins up
noticeably faster from 7,000 rpm onwards. Silky smooth response from mid-high rpm ensures excellent driveability.
* Crankshaft and transmission shafts are arranged in a
straight line to offer the best look for a Super Naked model.
* Good over-rev characteristics mean that power does not
suddenly drop off.
* The fuel tank design features supersport-style ared edges with a
slim shape at the rear making it easy to grip with the knees during
sports riding.
* Concentrating the tank’s volume toward the rear helped make room
for the repositioned ignition key cylinder.
COOL AIR SYSTEM
* Cool air is routed to the airbox from ducts above the shrouds and
through the frame to minimise power loss due to heated air. This not
a ram-air system.
* A resonator inside the airbox reduces noise at low rpm, and
enhances intake sound at high rpm.
* The positioning of the ducts allows the rider to more easily hear the
intake sound.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
* The 4-into-2 exhaust system features quad style mufers.
* Using shorter mufers and under-engine pre-chamber offers
improved mass-centralisation and a lower centre of gravity.
* An exhaust device is located upstream of the right silencer to help
tune back-pressure waves for enhanced response in the low-mid
range.
* Main and pre-catalysers ensure emissions are clean.
CHASSIS
* To deliver a high riding impact, Kawasaki engineers wanted
a quick-steering and light-handling package.
* The new aluminium backbone frame was designed
specically for the 2010 Z1000. Similar in concept to the frame
of the Ninja ZX-10R, the frame beams go over the engine,
allowing a narrow construction that is easy to grip with the
knees.
FRONT SUSPENSION
* Fully adjustable 41 mm front fork with new settings offers
both sporty performance (contributing to light handling) and
comfort.
* Adjustable preload and rebound damping so you can tune
the front and rear suspension to your riding style and road
conditions.
* In addition to protecting the inverted fork’s inner tubes, fork
covers reinforce the low, mass-forward image.
* Lightweight and highly rigid, the frame uses the engine as
a stressed member. Torsional rigidity is up about 30%; lateral
stiffness is about the same. The frame itself is approximately
4 kg lighter than the previous model.
* The frame uses 4 (instead of 3) engine mounts. All engine
mounts are rigid except the upper rear crankcase mount,
which is rubber. The increased rigidity (also due to using the
engine as a stressed member) contributes to lighter, rmer
handling while maintaining stability.
* The more rigid frame, increasing mass centralisation, using
the engine as a stressed member, and a new rigid-mount
handlebar all contribute to sharper, rmer handling.
* Frame welds are minimised to improve appearance.
* The new rear sub-frame is now a 3-piece aluminium
construction resulting in lighter weight, further contributing to
mass centralisation.
BACK-LINK HORIZONTAL MONOSHOCK REAR
SUSPENSION
* The rear suspension positions the shock unit and linkage
above the swingarm. This locates the suspension far enough
from the exhaust so that its operation is not affected by heat.
* Visible from the outside, the back-link horizontal monoshock
contributes to the appearance of the bike.
* Linkage ratios were set so that rear wheel movement vs.
shock stroke is the same as with standard Uni-Trak rear suspension.
* Adjustable preload and rebound damping so you can tune
the suspension to your riding style and road
Aluminium Swingarm
* The swingarm features eccentric axle adjusters, contributing
to the Z1000’s Kawasaki identity.
ABS Front and rear petal disc brakes
* The front brake’s radial mount calipers and radial pump
master cylinder offer formidable stopping power and superb
braking control.
* Petal shaped discs are lighter and able to withstand higher
temperatures without warping.
* A large rear disc offers improved brake control.
* The rear caliper is mounted below the swingarm. This frees
up space for the ABS sensor and features a torque rod. The
arrangement adds a racy image.
* Sharp front cowl slopes back at an acute angle, contributing
to the aggressive design and the image of a low, forwardlocated centre of gravity.
* A slim, compact line-beam type headlamp is used allowing
the front cowl to be made smaller. Locating the bulbs slightly
higher in the headlamp unit gives the Z1000 a erce look
when viewed from the front.
Immobiliser system
* ECU controlled key recognition immobiliser system works as
soon as the ignition key is removed.
* This system is classed as an approved security device by
Kawasaki Insurances, for more detail see your Kawasaki Dealer.
Detail Features
* The handlebar is larger diameter in the centre (28.6 mm),
tapering to 22.2 mm at the grips.
* The handlebar is wider, higher and slightly further forward,
giving the rider more freedom of movement.
* The handlebar is rigidly mounted which contributes to the
sharper handling.
* The ignition key cylinder was relocated to the front of the
tank (previously forward of the handlebar), allowing the front
cowl to be more compact and the instrument panel to be
positioned closer to the rider for enhanced visibility.
* The fully digital instrument panel includes digital
speedometer, bar-style digital tachometer, odometer, two trip
meters, fuel gauge, and clock.
* The meter can be easily repositioned using the adjuster on
the left side.
* 5-spoke cast wheels complement the Z1000’s sharp design.
The spokes have a machined cut-out near the rim edge and a
clear coating adds to the high-quality appearance.
* ZX-10R-style footpegs with knurling offer good grip, more
direct feel and control, and also contribute to the sporty looks.
