KTRC (1-mode)

KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control) offers rider reassurance by preventing rear wheel spin on various surfaces.

READ MORE

Launch Control Mode

Launch Control Mode is a motocross-use start mode that helps riders get the holeshot by minimising wheel spin off the start.

READ MORE

Power Modes

Three selectable Power Modes, including one mode in which power delivery varies according to throttle application.

READ MORE

Fuel Economy Assistance Mode

Fuel Economy Assistance Mode is a rider selectable mode that switches the ECU to a leaner fuel map, prioritising fuel economy to enable a longer touring range.

READ MORE

Dual Throttle Valves

Dual Throttle Valves offer increased power and greater ease of use care of a second set of ECU-controlled throttle valves.

READ MORE

Assist & Slipper Clutch

Based on racing technology, the Assist & Slipper Clutch acts as both a back-torque limiter and a self-servo mechanism that enables a lighter clutch lever pull.

READ MORE

Power Modes

Power Mode selection allows engine power delivery to be changed to suit the riding situation.

READ MORE

S-KTRC

S-KTRC (Sport-Kawasaki TRaction Control) is a MotoGP-based predictive traction control system for sport riding.

READ MORE

Smartphone Connectivity

Smartphone connectivity contributes to an enhanced motorcycling experience by enabling riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly.

READ MORE

KEBC

KEBC (Kawasaki Engine Brake Control) allows riders to select their preferred amount of engine braking.

READ MORE

e-boost

With e-boost, riders can access increased power for a limited amount of time. When activated, acceleration is stronger and top speed is increased.

READ MORE

Electronic Throttle Valves

Electronic Throttle Valves allow the ECU to deliver the ideal amount of fuel and air to the engine.

READ MORE

Zero Emission Riding

Powered by an electric motor, this model creates no emissions when being operated.


READ MORE

WALK Mode with Reverse

This convenient mode assists with manoeuvring in a parking lot. When engaged, opening the throttle moves the bike forward at walking speed. Closing the throttle past the “zero” point moves the bike in reverse.

KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter) enables clutchless shifting.

READ MORE

KLCM - Kawasaki Launch Control Mode

KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode) optimises acceleration from a stop by electronically managing engine output to prevent wheelspin.

READ MORE

KTRC (3-mode, 9-levels)

9-Mode KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control), Kawasaki’s most advanced traction control system, offers both enhanced sport riding performance and the peace of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence.

READ MORE

IMU

Combined with Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modelling program, input from the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) enables even more precise chassis orientation awareness, the key to bringing Kawasaki’s electronics to the next level.
