CONCEPT

RIDER-FOCUSED SUPERNAKED OFFERS SUBLIME BALANCE OF POWER & HANDLING

riding pleasure, the new Z900 mounts a 948 cm3 In-Line Four engine in an all-new ultra-lightweight frame. The choice of a 900cc-class In-Line Four was no accident; every twist of the throttle is rewarded by crisp, smooth response and exhilarating acceleration. But although the engine becomes more exciting the higher the revs climb, its smooth power delivery makes it extremely manageable. The lightweight chassis offers the same duality; nimble handling lends itself to spirited sports riding, while the Z900’s light weight and low seat height make it easy to control. Like many legendary Kawasaki 900cc-class In-Line Four machines (Z1, Ninja/GPz900R, Ninja ZX-9R), the Z900’s package delivers a sublime balance of power and handling – ideal for a Supernaked model.

Kawasaki has long believed that Supernaked models should be more than supersport machines stripped of their full-fairing bodywork. Designed with sugomi* performance for maximum

*Sugomi describes core performance and styling elements found in Kawasaki’s Z supernaked models. Imbued with Sugomi, their performance excites; a ride on a Z supernaked is a visceral experience that stimulates the senses; engine and chassis tuning deliver a high level of control. Sugomi is also evident in their sharp styling, dynamic crouching form, and distinct silhouette.

ADVANTAGES

SUGOMI PERFORMANCE MEETS A SUBLIME BALANCE OF POWER & HANDLING

1

Offering excitement that increases as the revs climb, sugomi performance ensures that riding the Z900 is a visceral experience. The crisp response of the its In-Line Four engine is perfectly balanced by its light, agile handling. Exhilarating without being overly intimidating, the combination is simply sublime.

Designed specifically so that acceleration could be enjoyed aurally as well as physically, the carefully crafted auditory note of the intake is a key component of the street riding exhilaration offered by the Z900.

Powerful 948 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-line Four engine has a quick-revving character and a strong mid-range hit that pulls strongly to the redline. Adding to rider exhilaration, a distinct intake note encourages you to twist the throttle. Silky smooth power delivery facilitates control while contributing to rider comfort and confidence.

ADVANTAGES

SUGOMI STYLING2 Aggressive Z Styling

Key sugomi design elements, like its crouching stance, low-positioned head and upswept tail, give the Z900 a distinct silhouette, making it instantly recognisable as Z Supernaked model. Designed to make viewers fall in love at first sight, the Z900’s aggressive Z styling is complemented by elegant bodywork flowing from head to tail, combined with minimalist cover in the engine area devised to draw attention to its functional beauty. A condensed appearance emphasised by slim, close-fitting bodywork gives the bike a light, agile image that reflects its sporty performance.



“Z” LED TaillightComplementing the aggressive Supernaked styling, the Z900’s sharp LED taillight lights up in a “Z” pattern, contributing to the sporty image and the strong Z identity.

Visually Appealing Multi-Functional InstrumentationStacked instrument cluster features an easy-to-read layout. Analogue-style tachometer features a gear position indicator at its centre and sits atop a large multi-function LCD screen. The tachometer’s three rider-selectable display modes add a visual element to riding enjoyment. Hairline finish on the tachometer dial, and carbon-fibre-style panelling contribute high-quality touches.


TECHNICAL DETAILS: ENGINE

A

ENGINEExciting In-Line Four EngineEngine, based on the Z1000 powerplant, balances exhilarating acceleration with smooth power delivery that facilitates control. Excitement grows as the revs increase.

* Liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve 948 cm3 In-line Four offers impressivepower (92.2 kW (125 PS)) and strong torque.

* Bore and stroke of 73.4 x 56.0 mm were chosen to achieve the desiredengine character.

* Power delivery is quitelinear, but the enginespins up noticeablyfaster from about6,000 min-1 onwards.Silky smooth responsefrom mid-high rpmensures excellentdriveability.(Illustration A)

* Downdraft throttle bodies allow intake air to travel to the engine in theshortest possible distance, contributing to performance.

* Good over-rev characteristics mean that power does not drop offsuddenly at high rpm.

* Throttle bore is ø36 mm, chosen for the ideal mid-range response.Sub-throttles ensure smooth, sensitive throttle response.

* Complementing the port designs, intake and exhaust valves measureø29 mm and ø24 mm, respectively, chosen for their contribution to theexciting mid-high rpm power feeling.

* Lightweight and rigid, the pistons are formed using a unique castingprocess (similar to forging process) that sees unnecessary materialremoved and hollows created to achieve the ideal thickness (the sameprocess used to form the Ninja H2/H2R pistons). This enables a lightweight on par with forged pistons.

* A V-groove on the piston’s 2nd land helps control pressure between thepiston rings by idealising the gas volume between them. This helpsprevent fluttering of the top ring, so a better gas seal is maintained,reducing blow-by gas and oil consumption.

* Connecting passageways between the cylinders help reduce pumpingloss, which contributes to high-rpm performance.

* Lightweight crankshaft design contributes to the Z900’s quick-revvingcharacter.

* A secondary balancer, driven off a gear on the 6th web of thecrankshaft, eliminates excess vibration. Of course, a certain amount ofengine vibration was desired as part of the bike’s character (vibrationcontributes to the feeling of acceleration, increasing linearly with rpm),so vibration was not totally eliminated.

* Design of the engine, head covers and engine covers gives the enginea light, mechanical look, and contributes to the engine’s condensedappearance.

* Die-cast cylinderoffers an idealbalance of weight andrigidity. Its open-deckdesign contributes toweight savings.(Photo 1)

Enhanced Intake Note

* After the 2014-2016 Z1000, the Z900 is the second model to benefitfrom “sound research” in crafting its intake note.

* Shape of the airbox was designed based on acoustic tests carried outin a sound room. Distinct from the edgy, powerful howl of the Z1000,the intake note of the Z900 is clear and mild.

* The frequency of the note varies with engine speed, adding to ridingimpact – especially at high rpm.

* Airbox inlet faces upwards, making the intake note easier to hear for therider.

* Dividing wall in the centre of the upper case contributes to the high,clear intake note.

* Intake funnels of varying length (50 mm for the outer pair; 150 mm forthe inner pair) offer a balance between performance and the intakesound. The longer inner pair contribute to low-mid rpm performance,while the shorter outer pair contribute to the stimulating intake sound.

Assist & Slipper Clutch * Assist & Slipper

Clutch was developedbased on feedbackfrom racing activities.The clutch usestwo types of cams(an assist cam anda slipper cam),offering two functionsnot available on astandard clutch.(Photo 2, Illustration B)

* When the engine isoperating at normalrpm the assist camfunctions as a self-servo mechanism,pulling the clutch huband operating platetogether to compressthe clutch plates.This allows the totalclutch spring load tobe reduced, resulting in a lighter clutch lever pull when operating theclutch.

* When excessive engine braking occurs – as a result of quick downshifts(or an accidental downshift) – the slipper cam comes into play, forcingthe clutch hub and operating plate apart. This relieves pressure on theclutch plates to reduce back-torque and help prevent the rear tyre fromhopping and skidding.

Exhaust System

Transmission & Gearing

* The exhaust system features a 4-into-1-pre-chamber-into-silencerlayout. The header pipes and pre-chamber are unitised.

* ø35 mm exhaust headers contribute to high-rpm performance, as wellas a low exhaust noise levels at idle.

* Joint pipes linking the exhaust headers (headers 1-4, 2-3 are linked)contribute to stronger mid-range torque for improved feeling.

* 5.5 L pre-chamber contributes to environmental performance, enablesa smaller silencer design (contributing to mass centralisation), andcontributes to low noise levels at idle.

* Silencer’s dual-chamber internal construction contributes toperformance as well as the exhaust note, while ensuring noiseregulations are met.

* Catalysers in the collector pipe contribute to clean emissions, ensuringEuro 4 regulations are cleared.

* Compact silencer design contributes to the stylish Z design. Use ofstainless steel material on the end-cap and silencer cover adds a high-quality feel, while contributing to a design that looks compact and light.

* Short gear ratios for 1st-5th gears contribute to the Z900’s strongacceleration in the rpm range used in everyday riding. 6th gear is anoverdrive gear.

* Lightweight-type (except on BRA models) 525-size chain andlightweight machined rear sprocket match the engine’s output, whilecontributing to low mechanical loss in the drive train.
