Sculpted bodywork brings the aggressive and unique sugomi inspired Z design to the next level, stripping off all unnecessary flourishes to boldly highlight brutal functionality. Enhancing the riding impact, the new engine and chassis settings deliver a stiffer, more direct ride transforming the Z1000 into the market’s most radical Supernaked.
The DS gear position indicator is designed for motorcycles with the Kawasaki Diagnostic (KDS) Connector. Installation is very simple with just one plug. Reads data directly from the ECU. Compact and weatherproof display. Display L,W,H 3x2x1.5cm, lead 160cm.
(This bike is not originally equipped with gear position sensor, therefore determining the gear in use is only possible when the engine is running and the clutch is released)
Compact smoke meter cover for enhanced style and wind protection
1,043 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-line Four
Powerful engine pulls strongly from all rpm and does not let up before the redline. Adding to rider exhilaration, the engine delivers superb response, a strong mid-range hit and an intoxicating intake howl. More direct response thanks to new engine settings and shorter gearing adds to the Z1000’s sporty street riding potential.
LED headlamp
The thin, compact headlamp cowl was positioned as low as possible, extending the line that starts from the top of the tank.
This is first time for Kawasaki to use the reflector-less LED headlamp design. Using LED lamps allows the design to be thin, the shape contributing to the more intense glare of the new Z1000’s face, and the reflector-less design.
Radial-mount monobloc calipers
High-performance brake package includes triple petal discs, radial-mount monobloc calipers and radial-pump front brake master cylinder. The new monobloc calipers and new brake pad material contribute to a stronger initial bite, superb brake feeling and formidable stopping power. Models with ABS also available.
Give your Kawasaki a more sporty look with the short dual Akrapovic slip-on system. This lightweight slip-on system offers great performance.
