User manual KAWASAKI NINJA 1000 ABS DATASHEET 2011

[. . . ] Whether looking to move on from a supersport or super-naked ride, or step up from a mid-size sport model, the Ninja 1000 ABS offers the performance and versatility for a fuller bike life than ever experienced. 1, 043 cm³ 4-Cylinder DOHC Engine · Tuned to deliver abundant low- and mid-range torque, with a distinctive power kick around 7, 000 rpm. · Low crankshaft and five-degree downward engine tilt help the engine to maintain its compact size. [. . . ] · Die-cast aluminium sub-frame combines form and function so that side covers are unnecessary, resulting in reduced weight and narrower mid-section so that it's easier for riders to reach the ground. 41 mm Inverted Cartridge Front Fork · Fully adjustable inverted fork is extra rigid for superb handling. · Settings offer both sporty performance (contributing to light handling on the street and in the hills) and comfort. Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension · Rear suspension positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm. · The linkage is placed atop the swingarm for better mass centralisation and to make room for the exhaust pre-chamber. Exhaust System · 4-into-2-into-1-into-2 exhaust utilises a pre-chamber to help centralise the weight. · The pre-chamber allows smaller mufflers for enhanced appearance and less weight. · Exhaust butterfly valve in the right muffler tunes exhaust back pressure waves for enhanced low-end engine response. · The main and pre-catalysers are a honeycomb style in each exhaust pipe to meets emissions regulations without adversely restricting power. · Fully adjustable, lay-down shock absorber is further away from the exhaust so that its operation will not be affected by exhaust heat. · Free piston in shock enhances damping characteristics. · Pressed aluminium swingarm is lightweight and rigid. · Eccentric chain adjusters add visual appeal. · Linkage ratios offer smooth and linear suspension response. Radial Mounted Front Disc Brakes · Instead of mounting the four-piston callipers with threaded tabs cast near the top of the calliper, the radial design utilises integrated mounting points at both the top and bottom of the calliper, with the mounting bolts inserted through the rear of the calliper instead of the side/front. This makes the calliper more rigid, which improves brake feel over a wider range of operation. Full Fairing continue; · Original-design front turn signals mount directly to the fairings. · Turn signal units are attached to the inside of the fairing using rubber mounts to help minimise fairing damage should the bike fall over. Instrumentation · Sporty instrument panel features a large analogue tachometer and multi-function LCD screen. The design is based on that of the Ninja ZX-6R, but features original font and colouring. · For added braking reassurance, ABS brakes are fitted standard. · Radial pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and feel at the lever. Lightweight Petal Brake Discs · Dual 300 mm front discs with 4-piston callipers provide exceptional stopping power. · Single 250 mm rear disc with single piston calliper is lightweight. · Petal design improves cooling and warp resistance. [. . . ] · Slim-type fuel pump features a unitised fuel gauge. · Fuel tank design and slim-type fuel pump minimise dead volume inside the tank. Ebony (H8) · Under-seat storage is about twice as large as that of the Z1000 ABS. Other Features · Harzard Warning Lights and Immobiliser are standard equipment for additional safety and security.
