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.
DUAL THROTTLE VALVES

On models with dual throttle valves, there are two throttle valves on each cylinder:
– Master Valve.
which is physically linked to the throttle grip and controlled by the Rider.
– Secondary Valve.
which is opened and closed by the ECU, precisely regulating the intake Air flow to ensure a natural linear response. Throttle body, Combustion efficiency is increased, as is power.
ECONOMICAL RIDING INDOCATOR

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.
SOUND TUNING

Specially designed for riders to enjoy the aura and physicality of their motorcycles, auditory notes that are carefully crafted become the main components of motorcycles that have been fitted with sound tuning. Sound tuning can be sound research, designing intake and exhaust components based on acoustic tests conducted in the sound room, and careful consideration of every detail of the system components to ensure the desired balance of performance and sound.
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.
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
ERGO-FIT

ERGO-FIT is a system designed to help riders find their ideal riding position. Various chassis interface points (Handlebar, Footrest, Seat, etc.) can be adjusted through a combination of replaceable parts and parts with adjustable positions. This allows a variety of riders to find a comfortable and controlled riding position. In addition to being able to feel at one with their machine, Riders can also experience Kawasaki machines that are fun and rewarding to ride.
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.

RETRO STYLING
Authentic Z1 Styling
The Z900RS is the ultimate Z-retro-sport offering modern equipment and classic styling.
RETRO STYLING
Double-walled headers, integrated connections and a short megaphone silencer — all are treated to a finishing touch to highlight the Z900RS’s retro-sport image.

RETRO STYLING
The round LED headlight and oval-shaped LED taillight pay homage to the original Z1 motorcycle with a blend of retro and modern design.

RETRO STYLING
A high-tech multi-function LCD display sits amidst the bullet-shaped analog dial, creating a balance between retro style and modern functionality.

RETRO STYLING
Classic appearance with machining on spokes and rims plus high quality paint shows extraordinary craftsmanship.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
perfect balance
The combination of a lightweight trellis frame and a powerful engine allows the Z900RS to achieve an outstanding balance of power and handling.


POWER & PERFORMANCE
Its powerful inline four delivers strong and smooth performance for cruising at higher rpm.

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC
Based on sound research, the exhaust has been tuned to produce a satisfying rumble when the engine is started and at idle.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
Equipped with a soft and comfortable seat to explore long roads and reduce bumps.

POWER & PERFORMANCE
AUTHENTIC RIDING EXPERIENCE
Retro design combines with modern technology and performance for exceptional riding comfort in the city and on the highway.
RIDER EXPERIENCE
Strength And Flexibility
The lightweight, modern trellis frame provides the strength to harness the power of the inline-4 and the balanced flexibility to achieve responsive, agile handling.

RIDER EXPERIENCE
The upright riding position provides comfort for touring and sport riding. The seat height can be adjusted for easy access to the ground while the upright handlebar position adds leverage for cornering and low-speed maneuvering.

RIDER EXPERIENCE
Strong braking performance with a tight, progressive feel is aided by modern radial-mount calipers and a radial-pump brake master cylinder. The Nissin motorcycle’s compact, lightweight ABS unit helps reduce wheel lockup in certain conditions.

RIDER EXPERIENCE
The fully adjustable ø41 mm front fork and horizontal back-link rear suspension offer progressive damping for a comfortable ride and sporty performance.
