TECHNOLOGY
ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUCTH

When excessive Engine braking occurs, the Slipper cam comes into play as a result of rapid downshifts (or unintentional downshifts), forcing the clutch hub and plate to operate apart. This reduces pressure on the clutch plate to reduce back-torque and helps prevent rear tire slamming and skidding. This racing feature is very useful when sport riding or riding on the track.
ECONOMICAL RIDING INDICATOR

When fuel consumption is low at a certain speed and fuel efficiency is high, the ‘ECO’ mark remains on, and fuel consumption can be reduced. Effective vehicle speed and engine speed may vary by type, but paying attention to the conditions that cause the ‘ECO’ mark to appear can help minimize negative impacts on the environment.
ELETRONIC THROTTLE VALVES

Kawasaki’s electronic throttle actuation system allows the ECU to control the volume of fuel (via the fuel injectors) and air (via the throttle valves) delivered to the engine. Ideal fuel injection and throttle valve position result in smooth, natural engine response and ideal engine output. This system also contributes significantly to reduced emissions.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)

Kawasaki ABS system has front and rear wheel sensors to constantly monitor wheel speed. If information from both sensors indicates wheel lock, the ABS ECU directs the pump in the ABS unit to regulate brake fluid pressure (releasing and reapplying pressure to regain traction), ABS Ensures greater riding pleasure.
Ergo-Fit

Electronic Cruise Control Allows the desired speed (Engine RPM) to be maintained by pressing a single button. Once activated, the rider does not have to keep pulling the throttle. This reduces the pressure on the right hand when traveling long distances, making the ride more relaxed and comfortable.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
Kawasaki In-Line Four Exhilaration x Fun Package on Winding Roads
The Versys 1000’s engine and chassis are designed to enhance rider comfort on the road. Its 1,043cc in-line four engine delivers the required burst of acceleration with every turn of the throttle. Its balanced chassis and long-travel suspension setup deliver excellent control and feedback, giving riders a feeling of confidence when handling a variety of road situations and conditions. And its upright, comfortable riding position gives riders great control over the machine.
POWER & PERFORMANCE
Engine DOHC 1,043 cc dengan liquid-cooled menawarkan respons throttle yang luar biasa, torsi yang kuat melintasi rentang rpm, dan howl intake yang memikat. Berkat pengaturan injeksi bahan bakar yang dioptimalkan, pengiriman daya menjadi linier dan halus serta kontrol dan kemampuan manuver yang mudah pada rpm rendah.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
Electronic Throttle Valves allow the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to control the volume of fuel and air delivered to the engine, resulting in smooth and natural engine response and output. Electronic Cruise Control is also active thanks to the Electronic Throttle Valves.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
This clutch technology offers a light lever pull plus a rear-torque limiter. When excessive engine braking occurs, the slipper reduces pressure on the clutch plate to help prevent the rear tire from flying or skidding.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
The wide handlebar offers easy control and natural grip, creating an upright yet relaxed riding position while the low and forward footpeg placement creates a spacious riding position.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
The long-travel suspension provides a smooth ride on uneven roads, allowing you to ride confidently in a variety of road conditions. The lightweight 17” front and rear wheels contribute to quick, sporty handling.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
Highly rigid 4-piston, radial mount, monobloc front brake calipers grip large ø310 mm petal discs and are paired with a radial-pump front master brake cylinder for superb feel and strong stopping power.

ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
Capable adventure partner
Kawasaki’s top-level electronic rider support system, enhanced with feedback from the Bosch IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), enables riders to enjoy fun and sporty riding on the Versys 1000 with high confidence.


ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
From entry, to the apex, to corner exit, KCMF regulates brake force (KIBS) and engine power (KTRC) to facilitate a smooth transition from acceleration to braking, to help you track your desired line through the corner.

ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
Kawasaki Traction Control covers a wide range of riding conditions, offering enhanced sport riding performance and peace of mind on the road. When turned on, you can select 3 modes to choose the level at which each mode intervenes during riding.

ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
Kawasaki’s high-class supersport brake management system is standard on the Versys 1000. High-precision brake pressure control allows hydraulic pressure to be modulated in much smaller increments than standard ABS systems, saving lever feel when KIBS is active and ensuring ABS pulses are light.

ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
The Versys 1000 comes with 2 power modes: Full and Low–allowing you to choose the power delivery that best suits your preferences and riding conditions.

TOURING CAPABILITY
Equipped for Adventure
Equipped with a wide upper cowling and fairing that provides protection against weather changes and provides comfort when riding long distances. The Versys 1000 comes with premium touring features and the latest technology that makes the journey comfortable both during long-distance touring or when traveling through crowded city streets.
TOURING CAPABILITY
With the push of a button, you can set your desired speed for relaxed cruising and increased riding comfort.

TOURING CAPABILITY
The clean-fit saddlebag system allows the 28-liter KQR saddlebag to be easily attached and removed for added comfort. The Versys 1000 can accommodate both an accessory top case and a hard saddlebag at the same time.

TOURING CAPABILITY
The adjustable windscreen has a stepless range of approximately 65 mm. Its height can be adjusted from the rider’s seat (without using tools, just using two knobs on the inside of the screen) to suit the rider’s preference.

TOURING CAPABILITY
The DC socket in the cockpit can be used to power small electronic devices.
