* Price shown is based on the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and is subject to change. MSRP excludes destination fees, optional accessories, applicable taxes, installation, setup and/or other dealer fees.What's in a number? Only everything. 6 percent may not sound like much, but it is the displacement advantage the 2014 Ninja ZX-6R supersport has over the rest of the 600cc class. This performance advantage began over a decade ago with the 1st 636, a revolutionary machine that blew-away the competition's 600's and won races against factory 750's on the track. The 2014 ZX-6R continues family tradition of racetrack dominance and unmatched street cred with its physical embodiment of the family slogan: Performance Counts! Key Features Class-leading Supersport performance and styling deliver a youthful dose of street potency 636cc inline-four offers racetrack-ready power yet extremely flexible delivery on the street Selectable engine power modes allow riders to adjust power delivery to riding conditions Three-mode KTRC traction control puts the power to the pavement whether it's dry and grippy or rain-slick Showa Separate Function Big Piston Fork (SFF-BP) offers light weight, easy adjustability and smoother initial suspension tracking Nissin one-piece monobloc radial-mount front brake calipers and radial-pump front brake master cylinder offer superb braking modulation with an accurate and direct feel at the lever F.C.C. clutch with assist function offers light clutch pull and strong clamping force for less clutch slippage under acceleration while slipper function minimizes wheel chatter caused by aggressive downshifting Aggressive styling and sharp, aerodynamic and bodywork clearly shout: Performance Counts! Lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame places the engine in the optimum position for superb handling and rider feedback and also features a 23.5-degree rake angle for quick steering response, max maneuverability and to promote clear communication from the front tire Reduced friction steering stem seals for easy steering inputs and noticeably improved low speed handling636cc Engine 636cc displacement uses a long-stroke to boost engine performance throughout the rev range. Low-mid range torque is especially impressive, and provides satisfying real world performance Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) system features four 38mm Keihin throttle bodies with oval sub-throttles Chrome-moly steel camshafts are light, strong and durable Pistons crown enhances strength and accommodates the high valve lift 12.9:1 compression ratio is optimum for this engine's bore & stroke Molybdenum coating on piston skirts reduces friction and facilitates engine break-in Strong connecting rods suit the power delivery of this engine High-performance airbox design contributes to peak power and smooth power delivery Single-bore intake funnels improve low-mid range torque. 2 different funnel shapes (outer are the same, inner are the same) help deliver optimized throttle response Ultra-fine atomizing injectors help ensure complete air-fuel mixing and max combustion efficiency. Precise tuning contributes to reduced emissions. Balance tubes on all 4 header pipes to maximize low-end torque Exhaust pre-chamber makes efficient use of space, reduces exhaust noise and allows a smaller muffler to be pre-owned Triangular cross-section muffler provides sufficient internal volume while still offering good ground clearance and max lean angle, as well as a compact appearance Generator designed to produce less heat and reduce mechanical loss Zero-cross control voltage regulator significantly reduces the amount of electronic noise produced when it interrupts the generator's output Cassette-type transmission helps simplify ratio-swaps and reduce set-up time at the track Lightweight EK 520 RMX/3D x-ring drive chain is very compact and uses lightening holes on the inner link plates to reduce weight.Selectable Power Modes Power mode selector on the left clip-on gives ZX-6R riders the option to choose between Full and Low engine power delivery modes to suit their needs Output at low rpm is the same in both modes, but Low mode limits peak engine output to approx 80% and gives a milder throttle response. Full mode allows the full performance potential of the engine to be unleashedThree-Mode Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) Three-mode KTRC traction control combines the best elements of the Ninja ZX-10R S-KTRC and ZX-14R/Concours14 KTRC systems. 3 different modes are tuned to cover a wide-range of situations from advanced racetrack use, to normal street riding, to mixed/slippery conditions, for enhanced rider confidence Mode one is tuned to maximize acceleration, like the ZX-10R S-KTRC system Mode two is tuned to help provide a balance of performance with minimal wheel slip Mode three prioritizes slip elimination, similar to the Concours14 ANTI LOCK BRAKES sport touring KTRC system, for enhanced rider confidence in mixed or slippery conditions The KTRC system may also be turned-off completely, at the rider's discretion Handy mode selector on the left clip-on makes it easy for the rider to change KTRC settings Using complex programming algorithms, the KTRC system is able to predict impending wheelspin and act before slippage exceeds the optimum range, allowing reductions in power to be minimized for ultra-smooth operation In modes one and 2, conditions are analyzed 200 times per 2nd and any necessary adjustments are made through ignition timing alone, for extremely quick response from the engine and KTRC system In Mode 3, the system functions like mode two under most conditions, but when excessive rear wheel spin is detected, Mode three switches to complete three-way control of ignition timing, fuel delivery and intake airflow to regulate engine output to a level that allows the rear wheel to regain grip. By controlling the sub-throttles in the intake tract for precise torque management, a smooth and natural feeling can be attained: Mode three intervention and on/off transitions are very smooth to help maintain stability The system uses minimal hardware supplemented by advanced software. In addition to the engine's ECU, the system only requires front and rear wheel speed sensors, meaning minimal additional weight is required for traction control.F.C.C. Clutch with Assist and Slipper Functions F.C.C. clutch with assist & slipper functions uses 2 types of cams, an assist cam and a slipper cam that were developed based on racetrack testing and rider feedback The F.C.C. clutch's assist cam acts like a self-servo mechanism, pulling the clutch hub and operating plate together to compress the clutch plates under load. This allows the total clutch spring count and pressure to be reduced, resulting in up to a 25% reduction in effort at the clutch lever The assist cam also increases the torque capacity of the clutch so it can cope with the extra torque produced by the 636cc engine, without gaining any weight The F.C.C. clutch's slipper cam reduces the clamping force on the clutch hub and operating plate when back-torque conditions are present and helps prevent rear wheel hop on trailing-throttle and when down-shifting Spring plate assembly provides smoother engagement and helps minimize clutch judderRadial-mount Monobloc Brakes Highly rigid, radial-mount monobloc Nissin brake calipers offer superb control and a firm feel at the front
