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.
KQS (KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER)
Designed to help riders maximize their acceleration on the track with clutchless upshifts, at full throttle, KQS detects that the shift lever has been moved and sends a signal to the ECU to cut the ignition so that the next gear can be engaged without using the clutch. During deceleration the system automatically controls engine speed so that the next downshift can be performed without operating the clutch.
KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control)
KTRC, Kawasaki’s advanced traction control system that enhances sport riding performance and provides service when facing slippery surfaces with confidence. Various modes can be selected by the rider (The number of modes varies depending on the type of motorcycle) according to the rider’s choice and level of disturbance
Power Mode Comparison
Kawasaki types equipped with several Power Modes offer a choice of engine power delivery that can be easily selected to suit conditions or riding choices. In addition to full power mode, there is also a choice of one (Low) or two (Mid-low) where maximum power is limited and throttle response is lighter.
Smartphone Connectivity
Advanced technology that can connect riders with their motorcycles wirelessly. Using the ‘RIDEOLOGY THE APP’ application that can be downloaded via smartphone. Vehicle information can be viewed on the smartphone such as Odometer, Fuel Gauge, Maintenance Schedule, etc. Rider logs can also be viewed through this application.
Horizontal Back-Link Rear Suspension
Kawasaki’s Traditional Uni-Track rear suspension is mounted vertically unlike the Horizontal Back-link rear suspension which has a nearly horizontal shock unit. Kawasaki’s original suspension setup places the shock unit very close to the bike’s center of gravity resulting in mass centralization.
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.

IMU-Enhanced Chasis Orientation Awareness
The addition of IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) makes it possible to monitor inertia along 6 DOF (Degree of Freedom). Acceleration along the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes, plus rotational speed and pitch rate can be measured. The YAW level is calculated by the ECU using original Kawasaki software. This additional feedback produces a clearer, real-time picture of chassis orientation, providing precise control management at the limit.
SUGOMI PERFORMANCE
A Visceral Experience
Delivering excitement as the engine revs increase, sugomi performance ensures that riding the Z900 is an extraordinary experience. The response of its In-Line Four engine is matched by light and agile handling. Thrilling without being intimidating, the combination is simply incredible.
SUGOMI EXPERIENCE
The powerful 948cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-line Four engine has a fast-revving character and strong mid-range power that continues to pull strongly all the way to the redline. Adding to the rider’s excitement, the distinctive intake sound encourages riders to roll the throttle deeper. Smooth, even power delivery makes handling easier while providing rider comfort and confidence. Precise control of the new electronic throttle valve contributes to smooth, linear acceleration, giving riders added confidence and enjoyment when cornering.
SUGOMI EXPERIENCE
Lightweight and Agile Handling
The key to the Z900’s agile handling is its lightweight chassis components, including its trellis frame. Improved suspension settings for the new model give riders more confidence.
Equipped with a new tire compound, the Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tires provide a solid and steady feel when cornering for a fun riding experience.
SUGOMI EXPERIENCE
The front brakes with new radial-mount 4-piston calipers provide precise braking touch with excellent control. On the SE model, ø300 mm Brembo front brakes, M4.32 radial-mount monobloc calipers and pads equipped with a Nissin radial-pump master cylinder and steel-braided lines deliver greater stopping power and linear progression for precise control.
SUGOMI EXPERIENCE
ø41 mm inverted front fork with adjustable rebound damping and responsive, progressive spring preload for crisp handling and high feedback. On the SE model, the higher-quality front fork also features adjustable compression damping.
SUGOMI EXPERIENCE

ELECTRONIC RIDING SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY
Feedback from the IMU enables an additional function: corner braking management. In addition to the front and rear wheel speed sensors (standard for every ABS system), the enhanced ABS uses information from the IMU to calculate the lean angle of the motorcycle. If the rider applies the brakes before entering a corner (e.g. trail braking), increases the brake force mid-corner (e.g. to avoid an obstacle), or encounters a sudden change in surface traction (e.g. fallen leaves, loose sand, or wet areas), the brake force is modulated to prevent unstable vehicle behavior and skidding. This helps the rider to maintain the desired line through the corner, rather than running wide, or to come to a controlled stop.
ELECTRONIC RIDING SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY
An all-inclusive mode that links KTRC (3 modes, plus OFF) and Power Mode (available in Full or Low) allows the rider to easily adjust traction control and power delivery to suit the riding situation at hand. The rider can choose from three settings (Sport, Road, Rain) or a manual setting (Rider). In manual Rider mode, each system can be adjusted independently.
