User manual KAWASAKI NINJA 650RL ABS DATASHEET 2011

[. . . ] The 649 cm³, liquid cooled Parallel Twin is extremely user-friendly. The easy-to-control engine is responsive and smooth, especially at low-mid rpm. Sportier, even easier to handle, safer thanks to the addition of ABS and wrapped in seductive Ninja supersport styling, the Ninja 650RL ABS enables riders to experience the fundamental joy of motorcycling. [. . . ] · Spark plug mounted "stick" ignition coils are compact and help reduce weight. Digital Fuel Injection · 38mm Keihin throttle bodies feature sub-throttle valves for optimum performance and rideability. · The sub throttles, located behind the main throttle valves, are controlled by the ECU so that the EFI system has more precise throttle response, similar to a constant-velocity carburettor. · Precise fuel injection plus exhaust catalyser significantly reduce emissions. · Automatic fast idle system makes starting and warm-up easy. 6-Speed Transmission · Cassette-style transmission puts the transmission shafts and shift drum into a compact layout that is easily removed as a single unit from the cases for easier maintenance. · Kawasaki Positive Neutral Finder just lift the gear lever from first when stopped and automatically select neutral. Trellis Frame · High tensile steel trellis frame is small and light. · Designed using 3-dimensional computer analysis to achieve the optimum stiffness balance for better handling. · Narrow at the knees and feet for rider comfort and control. Single-shock Rear Suspension · D-shaped swingarm and offset, lay down single rear shock complement the frame design to create an integrated line flowing from the steering head to the rear hub. · Short, compact frame and engine design allows the swingarm to be longer, which helps improve overall handling. Triple Petal Design Brake Discs · Front brake callipers have big 27mm pistons for excellent brake feel. · Petal design offers improved cooling and warp resistance. · Same petal design found on the Ninja ZX-6R and ZX­10R supersports machines. · Front brake lever uses a ball-joint and revised pivot location to deliver a smooth actuation of the master cylinder piston. [. . . ] · Carefully designed ergonomics result in a natural, comfortable riding position. New for 2011 · New Colours for 2011 Metallic Spark Black or Candy Burnt Orange. · Revised engine settings for stronger mid range torque and power and still in a LAMS approved format. [. . . ]
