The 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

admin — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:28:48 +0000

Kawasaki always provides us best racing bikes from years. The new 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10X have remarkable features which we are describing here. It sports a completely redesigned chassis aimed at improving handling and racetrack lap times – and a traction control/ABS setup that ditches all notions that such systems are for safety. The 2011 ZX-10R Ninja feels light, taut and compact when you swing a leg over the seat, which is 0.67in (17mm) lower than before. The footrests are 5mm lower and can be adjusted 15mm down from that for road riding to improve comfort. Powerful radial-mount calipers give a very direct feel at the lever. Radial-pump master cylinder ensures excellent touch and offers superb control. Kawasaki fans have long memories and undeniable passion, but for the last 6 or 7 years, lime green bikes have regularly languished right at the back of the pack both in World Superbike and Moto GP. The 998cc inline-4 engine has been lightened and strengthened all over the place – but that magical 200.1 metric horsepower (PS) is what’s going to count at the sales desk. The large numerical gear position sensor gives instant information to the ride. The exhaust header pipes are titanium and almost the same length and bore as the race system’s, meaning there will be little value in fitting a full aftermarket exhaust, simply removing the catalyst pre-chamber and fitting an end can will have the same effect this will also reduce the ZX-10R’s tendency to wheelie – but enthusiastic throttle jockeys needn’t worry. The big Ninja’s new S-KTRC traction control system, for example, recognizes that the quickest acceleration actually occurs when you’ve got the perfect degree of rear-wheel slip. This is a completely new instrument panel, and it looks very cool. For starters, there’s a multicolored LED-backlit taco bar that can be set to flash as a shift indicator. Then there’s a dual-mode main readout, which can be set to road or race mode, with lap timer, gear position indicator, clock. The BPF features a main piston almost twice the size; oil inside the BPF acts on a surface area almost 4 times the size. Cylindrical guides added to the top of the air box ensure more accurately sprayed fuel mist from the secondary injectors. The Ninja 250R’s twin fairing-mounted head lamps. The 37 mm telescopic front forks contribute to the Ninja 250R’s smooth, stable handling. Fuss-free power delivery puts the fun back into urban riding and you’ll be unable to resist weekend blasts.
