2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Motorcycle PartsWe're not just talking about a complete re-design in the ZX - 10R's engine, chassis, suspension, body, instrument and wheels, but a highly advanced and customizable electronic system that helps the rider to control and use of new ZX - 10R's amazing hybrid and response processing. The system is called a sport Kawasaki traction control system, or S - KTRC. It represents a whole new level of performance motorcycle, the ZX - 10R is the only production sport bike, can take you there.
Motorcyclists have always challenged traction-related issues, whether it is dirt, street or track. Knight can be maintained over the rear wheels from spinning or sliding unpredictable faster, more secure, more hard-line combination of beat on the track. When talking about the absolute leading edge technology open-class sport bikes, the production of bicycles, in fact, more capable than full-street bicycle race only a few years ago, more consistent traction and confidence, is an important positive factor.
The motorcycle-derived S - KTRC system works is crunching numbers from the various parameters and sensor - wheel speed and slip, engine speed, throttle position, acceleration, and more data collection and analysis, will Renhe Chuan Qi here than in other history, its name are helping drivers inch close to the elusive "edge" of the maximum traction than ever before. The S - KTRC systems rely on complex software buried in the new ZX - 10R's electronic control unit (ECU), the only additional hardware is lightweight at each wheel speed sensor.
Unlike KTRC system Kawasaki's race 14 ABS Sports Tourer, mainly to reduce wheel slippage on smooth surfaces or damaged as a security feature, and S - KTRC system is designed to maximize performance through the use of complex analysis, forecasting When traction conditions will be unfavorable. By quickly, but subtly reduce power consumption to more than the best in the slip with traction, the system - for processing each data point 200 times per second - to maintain optimal levels of tire grip, the maximum move forward. The result is a much better driver's lap and boost confidence, it is people need a machine, the driver of the caliber.
The S - KTRC system provides three different mode of operation, in which passengers can choose according to surface conditions, rider preferences and skill levels: a maximum grip with the track in the middle with two, three and wet conditions. Figure in the new design LCD instrument display how much electronic intervention occurs in real time to allow the thumb switch on the left handlebar pod simple to change the way in this.
The system also uses advanced power mode system that allows passengers to select the amount of power - and delivery people - from the engine. In addition to the standard full-power mode, the low setting. In medium mode, depending on throttle position and engine speed performance; at any throttle opening is less than fifty percent, the same low-performance model; in fifty percent or more, passengers can access other engine performance. All three S - KTRC set in each of the three power mode settings.
Managed so ably and motorcycles all electronic magic of this trick? It is completely redesigned from 2010 to '11.
It all started in the 10R's new inline four-cylinder, the most advanced engine ever from the prone to the factory Kawasaki. Like last year's strong ZX - 10R engine, the new engine is 16 valve, double overhead cam, water-cooled 998cc inline four-cylinder replaced by 76 x 55 bore and stroke dimensions. However, this is where the similarities stop, since the new plant has a few changes in design optimization of engineering power, the focus and the actual engine placement within the chassis.
Its main objective is linear Kawasaki engineers manage the entire power transmission and engine in a corner all the elements: immigration, back to the neutral throttle in the corner, is intoxicated, controlled speed at the exit. Peak torque is transferred to a higher speed range, eliminating the peaks and troughs of power, making it difficult to racers and track day driver opened the throttle and confidence.
Larger intake valves (31mm's vs. 30 mm) wide and polishing - air intake, exhaust, and a thorough revision of transplantation have allowed better breathing, more controlled engine braking and power transmission and low, just a smooth corner of the stadium entrance and exit. Construction of high-lift camshafts light yet strong chromoly steel (not cast iron) and includes amendments overlap engine braking and to further promote the optimization and more controllable power delivery. Lightweight piston design features a new installation to the short skirt and connecting rod lighter, stronger, each of which a revised crankshaft made of a harder material, and has strong needle fish and periodicals. Move to a complete compression 13.0:1.
There are more, including the new revision crank / shaft layout, will help establish a center of higher quality - and by improving the handling of mass concentration - about 10 degrees crankshaft by looking relatively high output shaft. There is even a secondary engine balancer General Assembly this year, the number of shock absorber components which allows to simplify and help reduce weight. A smaller lighter battery would significantly decline, even more weight, like a lighter ECU and fuel pump.

2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R CoverTape transmission allows a race track than a simple change, and provide a host of improvements for 2011. These include close spacing of the fourth, fifth and sixth gear and fine tuning of the main and final reduction ratio is less squatting / elevator in the acceleration and deceleration, so that more accurate adjustment of the suspension in the rear. An adjustable back torque clutch assembly with restrictions to allow worry-free downshifting and corner entry to a higher level of calm.
Cramming all of the fuel and air to this amazing new engine is a ram air assisted fuel injection system has a larger throttle body (47 contrast 43 mm) and sub-throttle, a larger capacity gas tank (9 and 8 liters), secondary syringe, to improve the high power characteristics, the redesign of RAM and a large air intake location closer to the front of the bike a more effective filling gas tank to increase the strength.
The last piece in the ZX - 10R of the electricity production specifications formula one race exhaust system, equipped with a titanium head assembly, hydraulic forming collectors, a large-capacity room contains two pre-catalyst and a highly compact muffler. As the design specifications of the first game, looking for more drivers and cars only need to replace a closed course performance muffler slip on the General Assembly.
With the number of large-scale production of the engine power available and controllable, engineers looked to the chassis, to help improve overall handling and road / track capacity further. A new aluminum twin spar frame, the design of the whole investment portfolio is only seven, with a telescopic feature of the optimization of the ideal rider feedback, turning performance and lighter weight than last year's cage. Fewer pieces mean fewer welds, which helps create a cleaner, more beautiful look. Like the frame, the new cast alloy rocker is a full General Assembly, with the idealized rigid matching, the framework itself.
Chassis geometry is playing the best stability and processing speed. Rake, at 25 degrees, the ratio of a semi-steep machine in 2010, and leads has been reduced from 110-107 mm. This is slightly more aggressive front-end geometry and faster, lighter and allow it to deal with it, may be made mainly by the power of the new engine is more controllable, and the engine center of gravity location and the resulting differences, and the framework and the rocker's new discovery flexible features.
The two ends of highly developed suspension and help. 43 mm in front of an open class version of the big Piston Fork (BPF) of the discovery last year's comparo - Disposable Ninja ZX - 6R's. There is a piston design nearly twice the size of the traditional cartridge forks, Business and Professionals Federation of Hong Kong to provide smooth action to reduce adhesion, lighter weight and enhanced the overall performance of the compression and rebound damping circuits. This will lead to more control and feedback of compliance rider - just what you need when carving sweeping through the ripples in the local track or negotiations to reduce the radius of the corner of your favorite backroad.
Suspension of big news back. Replacement of the vertical one-way traction control system system in 2010, ZX - 10R is the horizontal back-link suspension design, location, over the impact and linkage arm. Benefits include the promotion of large-scale centralized, improving road holding, compliance and stability, a smoother mid-stroke action (even if a firm set), better overall feedback and cooler running. The design also allows the space previously taken by the General Assembly less than the rocker linkage, space is now before the chamber for the exhaust, allowing a shorter muffler, and again, better mass centralization. Features fully adjustable shock absorbers piggyback reservoir and a dual range (low and high-speed) compression damping.
Gravity of all the new three-spoke cast wheels much lighter than the 2010 hoop mounted on a bicycle. Front, Tokico radial mount calipers take three hundred and ten mm 220 mm petal disc and a compact disc by a lightweight single-piston calipers in the rear. The result is a powerful, responsive brakes a lot of driver feedback.
Finally, Kawasaki engineers to package all these new advanced technology in the body and fashion side of things in the motorcycle grid. Curved shape is more up than this year, and some contrasting colors and black to create a sharp, progressive image. Headlight fairing to make the line shorter, while LED turn signals are integrated into the mirror assembly to facilitate the turn signal orbit coupling mirror can be easily removed for daily use. After a rally the rear fender and license plate frame signal stalk also very easy to remove in order to track days. High-brightness LED lights for tail lights and the location of the marker.
The new instrument is good, highlighting the unit's LED-backlit bar above to set up a multi-function tachometer LCD screen, and many sections of information and data panel. An extensive information display, including vehicle speed, odometer, dual-line meters, fuel consumption, power mode and S - KTRC level, low fuel consumption, water temperature and so on. For track use, the LCD display can be set to "race" mode, the mobile device display screen center.
The new ZX - 10R's ergonomic design has been fine-tuned for optimal comfort and control to lower the saddle, adjustable footpegs positioning slightly lower, but the clip relative to last year and down components and less angle. This is a hard-core sportbike you can actually extend the campaign to ride - and still is a reasonable comfort. Because it's 22 pounds lighter than last year's bike, the new ZX - 10R's will be faster, more sensitive, in any environment you choose to take it in.
As the old saying: "There is no power to control" is of course easier in terms of an open-class cycling. But when you factor in all, engine, chassis control, and ergonomic design to the 2011 Ninja ZX - 10R, and you begin to realize that you are looking at a very special motorcycle - a place where you can put your 've never been before.
