The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ANTILOCKING BRAKES superbike combines anti-lock braking with the numerous technological benefits of the class leading ZX-10R. And it does it with rider-sensitive, race-bred attributes derived from competing and winning at the highest levels.Key Features NEW hlins-Kawasaki electronic steering damper reacts to current speed as well as rate of acceleration and deceleration to help provide the ideal amount of damping force across a wide range of riding scenarios Engine and chassis 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 Advanced Kawasaki Intelligent Antilock brakes monitors a wide range of data, and allows optimum wheelspin while enhancing rider control Power Mode selector allows riders to select power level and power delivery Aluminum frame has ideal strength and rigidity Big Piston Fork (BPF) helps maintain composure under braking Horizontal back-link rear suspension helps deliver smooth suspension action Slipper-type back-torque limiting clutch helps corner entry handling Race-oriented instrumentation offers riders a wealth of informationLiquid-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 time S-KTRC confirms conditions 200 times per 2nd and governs ignition, which allows extremely quick reaction Riders can choose between 3 operational modes, depending on skill level and conditions A level meter on the LCD instrument panel lets the rider know when the system is operatingKawasaki Intelligent Antilock brakes (KIBS) Advanced track-ready antilock brakes Utilizes a Bosch-built ANTILOCK BRAKES unit that's half the size of a standard unit and considerably lighter KIBS monitors a wide range of data, including front and rear wheel speed, throttle position, gear selection, engine rpm, caliper pressure, clutch actuation and more to help prevent wheel locking High-precision brake pressure control offers a number of sport riding benefits, including rear-end lift suppression, minimal kickback during operation and consistent lever feel ANTI LOCK BRAKES unit is located close to the bike's center of mass, behind the left engine cylinder, which minimizes the effects of the added weight System uses wheel speed sensors already fitted to the non-ANTI LOCK BRAKES ZX-10R (pre-owned for S-KTRC traction control system) A radial-pump front master cylinder provides the ultimate in front brake feel and feedback Tokico radial-mount brake calipers use dual pads and offer a superb initial bite, progressive feel and a high degree of feedback to the rider A pair of 5.5mm thick, 310mm petal discs provides the heat dissipation needed to maintain brake feel and responsiveness during extended heavy use A 220mm rear petal disc gripped by a single-piston caliper provides excellent feel and feedbackRam-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 weigh

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips
Fri, 01 Mar 2013CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips. Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment. Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions. Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
