Color Choices: Ebony, Candy Fire Red / Ebony Warranty: twelve months Good Times Protection Plan: 12, 24, 36, 48 monthsKey Features 1,043cc inline-four with DFI offers serious torque Lightweight aluminum frame is narrow and tuned to transmit optimal feedback to the rider Fully adjustable inverted front fork has settings designed for sporty performance and ride quality Placement of horizontal back-link rear suspension contributes to mass centralization Radial-mounted front brake calipers combine with the radial-pump front brake master cylinder to offer superb control and feel Sleek, supersport styling gives the Ninja 1000 a distinctive look Relaxed, upright riding position contributes to all-day comfort Larger fuel capacity offers substantial range Wind screenis adjustable to 3 positions, allowing for optimum wind and weather protectionDOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine Liquid-cooled inline-four offers true open-class power from idle to redline, making it easy to harness for experts and novices alike Bore and stroke dimensions of 77.0 x 56.0mm offer an ideal balance of peak power and low and mid-range flexibility 38mm Keihin throttle bodies cram the air/fuel mixture directly into combustion chambers via downdraft intakes for max power Oval sub-throttles help keep the engine slim, and a slim midsection allows an ideal bike/rider interface for max comfort and control Engine's rev limiter comes into play softly, providing usable overrev character since power doesn't drop off suddenly at high rpm The engine's relatively low crankshaft position allows a moderately long stroke without adding engine height A secondary engine balancer, driven off a gear on the 6th web of the crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration and contributes to rider comfortCool Air System Intake system routes cool air to the airbox via ducts in the fairing, minimizing performance loss due to heated intake air Duct positioning close to the rider allows the intake howl to be heard and enjoyed Airbox resonator reduces noise at low rpm and enhances intake sound at higher revsExhaust System The exhaust system features a 4-into-2-pre-chamber-into-2 layout. Silencer end-caps maintain the quad-style image Main and pre-catalyzers ensure cleaner emissions Thanks to the under-engine pre-chamber, silencer volume is reduced, and silencer weight is low. Exhaust system offers excellent mass centralization and contributes to a low center of gravitySlim-type Fuel Pump Slim-type fuel pump features an integral fuel gauge Fuel tank design and slim-type fuel pump minimizes dead volume inside the tank; fuel capacity is 4.0 gallonsBodywork Supersport-style full-fairing bodywork gives the Ninja 1000 a distinctive, head-turning look, and also offers plenty of wind and weather protection for short-tour ability The fairing's slat-style leading edges direct wind around the bike, allowing the fairing to be narrower at the middle The fairing flares at the rear, keeping hot engine air from hitting the rider's legs Original design front turn signals are integrated into the fairing and are attached to the inside of the fairing with rubber mounts that minimize damage if the bike falls over ZX-6R-spec front fender contributes to excellent aerodynamics and racy looks Slim and compact tail cowl moves mass physically and visually toward the front of the bike LED taillight features red LED bulbs and a red transparent lens Slim rear fender gives the bike a light-looking rear end Wind screenis manually adjustable for optimum wind/weather protection Wind screenhas 3 available positions spanning approx twenty degrees and ranging from sporty to max wind protection. Adjustment can be done by hand (no tools required) by depressing the release button below the instrument panel. Wind screenadjustment should always be done with the bike stoppedAluminum Backbone Frame Aluminum backbone frame is similar in concept to the Ninja ZX-10R's, and helps make the bike narrow and easy to grip with the knees for max rider comfort and feedback The frame is lightweight and highly rigid, and uses the engine as a stressed member for solid handling and optimum stability Frame elements are tuned to transmit optimal engine feedback to the rider The frame's five-piece construction consists of steering stem, left and right main frames, and 2 cross pieces. The 2 main frame components have open C-shaped cross sections Welds were eliminated wherever possible for simplicity and appearance; the frame beams and swingarm brackets are single die-cast pieces The new frame uses 4 engine mounts, 3 of which are rigid, 1 of which (the upper rear crankcase mount) is rubber Rear subframe is a three-piece aluminum die-casting assembly that's light, strong and optimizes mass centralization The sub-frame is an example of form and function combined, negating the need for side covers and allowing underseat narrowness for a shorter reach to the groundHorizontal Back-Link Rear Suspension All-new rear suspension design positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm where it's less exposed to exhaust heat and contributes to mass centralization Visible from the outside, the horizontal monoshock contributes to the Ninja 1000's ultra-sporty appearance Linkage characteristics are the same as those of a standard Uni-Trak system: Wheel movement versus shock stroke is the same ratio The shock features stepless rebound damping and spring preload adjustability for a custom-tuned rideFully Adjustable 41mm Fork The Ninja 1000's inverted fork is adjustable for compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload and is protected from harm by a cool-looking shroud Settings are designed for both sporty performance and ride quality Separate, raised handle bars contribute to the sporty, comfortable riding position; bar stays are mounted to the fork tube tops, which extend above the top clamp A thick urethane seat provides a high-level of rider and passenger comfort Tapered-type grips, like those pre-owned on supersport models, offer a more direct feel Ninja ZX-10R-style footpegs with knurled surf
