KAWASAKI STRONG

With 135 years of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) engineering building the heaviest, most durable and complex
machines on the planet, Kawasaki strong is a name we can claim. KHI builds tunnel boring machines that connect
continents and trains that carry millions of New Yorkers in and out of the city 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. From
these engineering monsters to the last bolt on the Ninja 300, KHI engineering says, over and over; Use me. Rely on
me. Im built to ride.

BULLET TRAINS

MOTORCYCLE ENGINES

ROBOTICS

You already know KHI builds machines

that move people. But, did you know it also
builds machines that move thousands of
peopleall at once? Were talking trains
here. From New York City subway cars to
Japans hyper-speed bullet trains, KHI has
been in the business since 1906. Whether
a 186-mph bullet train or a 1,441cc Ninja

Since KHI built its first motorcycle in 1953,

it has never stopped pushing technology
to arm riders with what they need to
dominate the streets. Advanced engineering,
exhaustive testing, and tireless passion go
into every motorcycle every time rubber
hits the road. From industry-first features to
the features that have evolved over a long
history, KHIs innovations will never stop
feeding the insatiable appetites of riders
around the world.

If robots are the future, then KHI has been

shaping it since 1969 when the company
built its first industrial robot. KHI continues
to be a leader in the development of robots
for a diverse number of processes including:
assembly, handling, welding, painting and
sealing. Kawasaki robot technology is being
used every day to manufacture motorcycles
and other products.

ZX-14R motorcycle, KHI likes to believe

that the technology that goes into moving
thousands of people has a positive effect
on how it goes about moving just one.

FEARLESS.
FOR 30 YEARS.
For three decades, Kawasaki has been known for defining sportbike excellence. Ever since the Ninja
GPz900R revolutionized the sportbike market in 1984 (as it had the worlds first 16-valve liquid-cooled
in-line four-cylinder motorcycle engine), Kawasaki has continued to evolve the Ninja from carburetion
to fuel injection to rider support technologies like KTRC, power modes and ABS. Throughout the
years, the Ninja sportbike has carried racers like Doug Chandler, Scott Russell, Rickey Gadson,
and Tom Sykes to major championship wins. Although the technology is constantly changing and
improving to suit the next generation of riders, the heart and soul of Kawasaki engineering remains
the same: to fearlessly redefine what a motorcycle canand shouldbe.

OWNER OF

THE THRONE
Dubbed the King of the Drag Strip, the 2015 Kawasaki
Ninja ZX-14R motorcycle has more than earned its name.
The 14R is pure phenomenon with a distinctive style and
an immensely powerful engine. There is nothing else that
compares to the 10x AMA drag champion. Its phenomenal
off the strip, as well, thanks to a lightweight yet strong
monocoque aluminum frame, standard ABS, selectable
power modes, and smooth-triggering Kawasaki Traction
Control (KTRC). The ZX-14R has awe-worthy power thats
controllable for the streets.

2015

NINJA ZX-14R ABS

PHENOMENAL
POWER
ENGINE
The 2015 Ninja ZX-14R continues to set the bar with its high-performance
1441cc in-line four-cylinder engine. Massive torque can be felt as early as 2000
rpm as key engine components have been specifically engineered to minimize
pumping power loss. Thisalong with large bore and stroke measurements
of 84mm x 65mmcontributes to the ZX-14Rs power to pull past the
competition and set record times in the quarter mile.

HANDLING
Kawasaki engineers focused heavily on developing a unique frame
and suspension combination to control the immense power of the
ZX-14R engine. The steering head of the aluminum monocoque frame
is exceptionally rigid, and the engine is used as a stressed member
to enhance chassis strength without adding extra weight. The 43mm
inverted forks have firm settings that complement chassis characteristics,
contributing to sporty handling and rock-solid high-speed performance.
Further enhancing the handling characteristics of the ZX-14R are the
fully adjustable bottom-link Uni-Trak rear suspension and gusseted
swingarm, which work together as a system for ideal performance.

KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL (KTRC)

Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) has three modes that can be easily engaged by a switch on the left handlebar.
Modes 1 and 2 allow a degree of wheel slip to maximize acceleration by monitoring data every 5 milliseconds,
adjusting ignition timing accordingly. Mode 3 is more intrusive and minimizes wheel slip across stretches of bad
roads and wet surfaces. Whatever your preference, the advanced electronics of KTRC, ABS, and power modes
combine for a wide range of riding assistance.

TAME THE
BEAST
1

SELECTABLE POWER MODES

A thumb switch allows riders to adjust

power delivery to the rear wheel via two
power modes. Use low power to limit
power output to about 75 percent of
normal, for a milder throttle response.
This low power mode can be enhanced
with KTRC for a well-rounded riding
experience.
2

POWERFUL BRAKES

It takes some serious hardware to

stop one of the worlds most powerful
motorcycles. Thats why Kawasaki
engineers opted to equip the Ninja ZX-14R
with impressive dual front 310mm petal
discs on aluminum inner rotors squeezed
by radial-mount 4-piston calipers. A
lightweight standard ABS system also
greatly helps to boost rider confidence
while braking.

LEGENDARY

DOMINANCE

Simply put, the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R motorcycle is a

champion. It has been a constant fixture on the podium of the
World Superbike circuit in recent years as helmed by Kawasaki
Racing Teams 2013 World Champion Tom Sykes, consistently
proving its liter-class supremacy over the competition. The ZX-10R
has also dominated premier road races, with an open-class win at
the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb alongside a podium spot in
the Isle of Man TT Superstock class. Packed full of racing-inspired
advanced electronics and a hair-raising high-output engine, the
Ninja ZX-10R is a sophisticated thriller.

Professional rider on a closed race track

2015

NINJA ZX-10R

LITER-BIKE
BEAST
ENGINE
The 998cc in-line four-cylinder engine of the 2015
ZX-10R features linear power delivery leading
up to potent peak performance. To make power
manageable for racers, peak torque exists higher
in the power band so its easier to accelerate
sooner out of a corner. Fed by the Ram Air intake
and dual fuel injectors, the 47mm main- and
oval sub-throttle valves create refined power
delivery. The main injectors contribute to low- and
mid-range power, while the secondary injectors
supplement high rpm operation.

TRACTION CONTROL
The highly sophisticated Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC) system is inspired by the
technology Kawasaki developed while racing in MotoGP. The system monitors throttle position,
engine rpm, wheel speed & slippage, and acceleration via data gathered from both wheels. It
uses this data to optimize traction and adjust power to the rear wheel to maintain maximum
acceleration. A flick of a thumb switch is all it takes to choose between three levels of traction
control so you can find a mode that suits your riding style and the conditions of the road.

CONTROL COUNTS

BRAKING

Providing the Ninja ZX-10R with the binders it takes to compete

at the top level are dual 310mm petal-style semi-floating rotors
gripped by Tokiko radial mount calipers up front, as well as a
220mm petal-type rotor and a single piston caliper in the rear.
On ABS models, the Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Braking System
(KIBS) is ideally suited to supersport riding, with an extremely light
feel at the levers and no uncomfortable pulsating feedback. The
system analyzes front and rear wheel speed, gear selection, clutch
actuation, engine rpm, throttle position and caliper pressure to
guard against wheel lock and help suppress rear wheel lift.

SUSPENSION

The ZX-10R uses a 43mm inverted Showa Separate

Function Big Piston Fork (SFF-BP), which is lighter in weight
vs. a conventional fork, while also featuring a unique
damping mechanism for smooth action and control while
braking. The rear horizontal back-link suspension has a
fully-adjustable shock that provides predictable action
throughout the entire shock travel range.

HLINS ELECTRONIC STEERING DAMPER

Designed with hlins specifically for the ZX-10R, an electronically controlled steering damper provides the exact amount
of input needed for your ride, using data like speed and rate of acceleration or deceleration to optimize damping.

THE MIDDLEWEIGHT

CHAMP

The 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R motorcycle is a brilliant

middleweight streetbike with a championship lineage on
the track. For a furious engine full of character, the ZX-6R is
also an incredibly sophisticated machine with KTRC traction
control, top-of-the-line Showa suspension, selectable power
modes and optional ABS. The reign of the 636 has returned.

2015

NINJA ZX-6R

COMPLETE
CONTROL
SUSPENSION
The 2015 ZX-6R features Showa Separate Function Big
Piston Fork, which provides increased damping performance
while braking over traditional cartridge-style forks. All fork
adjustments are made easily from the top, with the preload
function in the left tube and damping functions in the right
tube. You only need to make one adjustment per function
and initial suspension reaction is smoother with the Big Piston
internals as it allows the fork to maintain its composure during
braking. In the rear, the Uni-Trak suspension system with a
fully-adjustable shock lets you dial in preload, compression
and rebound to suit your riding style whether on the street
or the track.

HANDLING
Kawasaki engineers spent vast amounts of time perfecting
the pressed aluminum frame to work with the suspension
components and bike ergonomics to develop a chassis that is
both stable and nimble. The ZX-6R flicks into corners quickly
yet offers tremendous mid-range cornering, the ability to
change lines at will, and excellent chassis feedbackjust what
you want on either the street or on the track.

TECHNOLOGY
KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL (KTRC)
Three-Mode Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) allows riders
to select how much, if any, traction control they want or need
based on conditions or preference. This is complemented
by two selectable power modes (either Full or Low, which
limits power to approximately 80%), providing riders eight
electronics configurations to choose from.
1

ENGINE

The long-stroke design of the 636cc engine was developed

to provide class-leading low- and mid-range power,
along with peak power that closely mimics much larger
bikes. If youre commuting or canyon riding, most of
your time is spent in the low- and mid-range, so the
38mm throttle bodies, a large air box, high-lift intake and
exhaust cam profiles, and joint pipes that connect all four
of the exhaust headers creates the most user-friendly
powerband in the middleweight superbike category.
2

BRAKING

Ninja ZX-6R ABS models feature Kawasaki Intelligent antilock Braking System (KIBS), an advanced system derived
from that of the championship-winning Ninja ZX-10R. This
system provides an extremely light feel at the lever, while
also managing feedback from the brakes to keep things
smooth. KIBS takes full advantage of the Nissin monobloc
front calipers, 310mm petal-style front rotors and 220mm
petal-style rear rotor with a single piston caliper to inspire
confidence on the street or during serious sport riding.

NINJA DNA
ENGINE
The 296cc, liquid-cooled DOHC, 8-valve parallel twin
is designed to outperform the competition, while still
offering characteristics that helps make an engine
feel friendly for the novice rider. Contributing to the
confidence-inspiring feel of the Ninja 300 engine is
a cylinder head design that takes full advantage of
the main- and sub-throttle valves to deliver plenty of
low- and mid-range power, as well as rubber engine
mounting to reduce vibration.

SUPERSPORT INFLUENCE
The Ninja 300 is an entry-level bike that features major
influence from its bigger Ninja supersport brothers.
Dual headlamps, a stylish seat cowl, sleek, aerodynamic
body panels, and a wide rear tire all come together to
make the Ninja 300 a motorcycle embraced by new and
experienced riders alike.

The Ninja 300 motorcycle is a versatile bike that features the same
thrilling power and character of the Ninja supersports that inspire

A quick glance at the wheels on the Ninja 300 and theyll seem
familiar. Thats because they were styled to be similar to the
10-spoke design found on the Ninja ZX-14R.

ASSIST AND SLIPPER CLUTCH

For a novice, a sudden downshift at higher
rpm can be challenging. But the Ninja 300 is
equipped with an assist and slipper clutch that
can help smooth out shifting. The assist uses
rotational forces of the clutch hub and pressure
plate to force the clutch together during
acceleration so that fewer and lighter clutch
springs can be used for a lighter feel at the
lever. During sudden deceleration, the slipper
function allows some clutch slippage to help
prevent engine lock-up, stalling and rear-wheel
hop so you can ride more confidently.
