To stay on top, you have to keep learning and improving. The 2014 Ninja ZX-10R superbike is a perfect example of this maxim. Years of refinement in this rarified atmosphere have elevated the ZX-10R to an unprecedented level of sophistication. Racers and street riders alike discover their envelope of ability expands as they benefit from the relentless focus of engineers intent on making it possible for riders to extract more from their motorcycles. By making the ZX-10R better, riders have the opportunity to be their best. Key Features hlins-Kawasaki electronic steering damper reacts to current speed as well as rate of acceleration and deceleration to vary the amount of damping force across a wide range of riding scenarios for ease of operation and optimal rider feedback Engine and chassis work together to allow for linear power delivery Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC) continuously monitors wheel speed, throttle position, engine rpm and a host of other data to help ensure the optimal amount of traction without crossing over the razor's edge of adhesion Power Mode selector allows riders to select power level and power delivery to match riding conditions Aluminum frame has ideal strength and rigidity for max performance Big Piston Fork (BPF) helps maintain composure under braking and contributes to the fork's light weight Horizontal back-link rear suspension helps deliver smooth suspension action with good road holding over a variety of pavement conditions Slipper-type back-torque limiting clutch helps prevent rear wheel hop under extreme deceleration and improves corner entry handling Race-oriented instrumentation offers riders a wealth of details at a glancehlins-Kawasaki Electronic Steering Damper Specially tuned for the 2014 ZX-10R, this electronic damper helps provide the ideal amount of damping force across a wide range of riding scenarios Maintains a high-level of rider feedback by allowing lower damping forces under less taxing conditions, but quickly adapts to increase damping and enhance high-speed stability when required Reacts to current speed as well as rate of acceleration or deceleration to help provide light steering feel at low speed, as well as superior damping at higher speeds or during extreme acceleration/deceleration Uses hlins' patented twin-tube design to help ensure stable damping performance and superior kickback absorptionLiquid-cooled, DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT, 998cc, Inline-four Engine Design is compact, narrow and lightweight Camshafts, crankshaft and pistons designed to complement the engine's prodigious power production Large intake valves, camshaft profiles and port shapes help maximize power production and smooth power delivery Chromoly camshafts enhance durability Single-shaft secondary balancer helps reduce vibration; its use allows several vibration-damping parts to be simplified and lightened Strong connecting rods suit the power potential of this engine ECU is small enough to be tucked away in a slot in the airbox assembly One-piece upper crankcase and cylinder casting offers max rigidity Low-friction oil pump reduces parasitic power loss A lightweight radiator with tightly packed cores provides efficient engine cooling A liquid-cooled aluminum oil cooler promotes high-efficiency heat dissipation Intake and exhaust valves are titanium to reduce reciprocating weight and stress at high rpmDual-injector Digital Fuel Injection Large 47mm throttle bodies help with throttle control Secondary fuel injectors enhance power output and power characteristics at high rpm; the lower injectors are always on, while upper injectors come on as needed according to degree of throttle opening and engine rpm Oval-shaped throttle bodies allow precise throttle control and instant response An Idle Speed Control (ISC) valve on the throttle body unit automatically adjusts idle speed, contributing to easier starts and off-idle throttle responseSport-Kawasaki Traction Control S-KTRC A highly sophisticated electronic system based on actual Kawasaki racing experience that's designed to maximize forward motion by allowing racers to ride closer to the edge of traction The system crunches a wide range of data, including throttle position, wheel speed, engine rpm, wheel slippage and acceleration, with help from a speed sensor fitted to each wheel The quickest acceleration requires a certain amount of wheel slippage, so to optimize traction, S-KTRC actually allows for optimum wheelspin Using complex analysis, the system is able to predict when traction conditions are about to become unfavorable. By acting before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction, the system can quickly and smoothly reduce power slightly so the wheel regains traction S-KTRC confirms conditions 200 times per 2nd and governs ignition, which allows extremely quick response to changing conditions Riders can choose between 3 operational modes, depending on skill level and conditions A level meter on the LCD instrument panel displays how much electronic intervention the system is providing, in real timeRam-air Intake A highly efficient and forward-positioned ram air intake is designed for low intake noise and good intake efficiency 9-liter airbox enhances breathing and power Oval-section intake funnels promote non-turbulent flow at all rpmTitanium Exhaust System Titanium-header exhaust system with hydroformed header pipes and small, lightweight muffler assembly uses a pre-chamber that houses 2 catalyzers for emissions and sound Headers have nearly identical specs to their roadracing counterparts, which makes it easier for riders to increase track performance with the simple addition of a less-restrictive muffler; now there's no need to replace the lightweight and race-spec header assembly Dual catalyzers help the ZX-10R meet strict U.S. and Euro III exhaust emissions standardsSix-speed Transmission Race-style cassette transmission allows simple trackside gearing changes to suit individual circuits The cassette is located high enough that it can be accessed without having to drain engine oil Primary and final reduction ratios minimize rear end movement (squat/lift) during acceleration and deceleration Close-ratio fourth, fifth and sixth gears complement the ZX-10R's circuit performance Overall gear ratios suit the power characteristics for ideal power delivery in all rpm ranges An adjustable back-torque limiting clutch facilitates smooth downshifts, a main contributor to stability under heavy brakingChassis / Frame Aluminum-alloy frame offers optimal flex and rigidity characteristics for balanced handling on street or track Chassis geometry allows sharp steering characteristics and crisp handling with no corresponding tradeoff in chassis stability at speed Frame is an all-cast construction of only 7 pieces, with ideal wall thicknesses that provide adequate strength and optimized rigidity Front end weight aids aggressive, on-the-gas corner exits Modifying or removing the exhaust pre-chamber (for racetrack applications
