ENGINE

The Z900 ABS in-line 4-cylinder engine provides a crisp and smooth throttle response, perfectly complementing its light and agile handling, allowing riders to fully enjoy spirited riding. The bike is exhilarating yet approachable, with a seamless off-on power transition that makes control the most satisfying aspect of the ride. The 948cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke in-line 4-cylinder engine revs quickly and delivers strong mid-range power, pulling all the way to the redline for an exhilarating experience.

The bore and stroke measurements of 73.4 x 56.0mm were chosen to deliver the desired engine characteristics. Power delivery is smooth and linear, with enhanced low-end torque and the ability to rev quickly from 6,000 rpm, offering a silky-smooth response at mid-to-high rpm ranges for excellent drivability.

New updates include a revised cam profile that improves fuel economy and increases torque at lower rpm, which is beneficial for city riding and exiting slower corners.

The engine’s downdraft throttle bodies ensure intake air travels the shortest possible distance, contributing to enhanced performance, while good over-rev characteristics help prevent sudden power drop-off at high rpm.

The new Electronic Throttle Valves (a.k.a. Ride By Wire) allow the ECU to control both fuel (via injectors) and air (via throttle valves) intake, ensuring smooth and natural engine response with optimal output. This system also contributes to linear acceleration and improved fuel efficiency, with throttle bores of 36mm offering an ideal mid-range response. Thanks to the electronically controlled throttle, both up-and-down quick shifter (KQS) and cruise control are available, enhancing rider comfort and convenience.

New ECU settings provide a more linear power delivery, making the Z900 ABS more enjoyable to ride. Revised ignition timing across the rpm range has led to a 16% improvement in fuel economy, and CO2 emissions have been reduced from 132 g/km to 117 g/km compared to the previous model.

The intake and exhaust valves, measuring 29mm and 24mm respectively, are designed to enhance the thrilling mid-to-high rpm power. The pistons, formed using a casting process, are lightweight and rigid, with unnecessary material removed and hollows created to achieve optimal thickness. This gives the pistons a weight comparable to forged pistons. A V-groove on the piston’s second land helps control pressure between the piston rings, preventing top ring flutter and maintaining a better gas seal, reducing blow-by gas and oil consumption.

The die-cast cylinder balances weight and rigidity, with an open-deck design that contributes to weight savings. Connecting passageways between cylinders reduce pumping loss, enhancing high-rpm performance. The lightweight crankshaft design also plays a role in the Z900 ABS quick-revving character, while a secondary balancer, driven by a gear on the crankshaft’s sixth web, ensures smoother engine operation. The design of the engine and its covers lends the Z900 ABS a light, mechanical look, contributing to the engine’s compact, condensed appearance.

The Z900 ABS air intake and exhaust system are designed to enhance the rider’s experience with both performance and sound. The airbox shape was developed based on acoustic testing, creating a clear and evocative intake note that delights and exhilarates the rider. The sound frequency varies with engine speed, adding to the riding experience, particularly at high rpm. The airbox inlet is positioned upwards, making the intake sound more audible to the rider. Additionally, a dividing wall in the upper case enhances the clarity of the intake note. Intake funnels of varying lengths (50mm for the outer pair and 150mm for the inner pair) offer a balance between performance and sound, with the longer funnels boosting low-to-mid rpm performance, while the shorter ones contribute to the stimulating intake sound.

The exhaust system features a 4-into-1-pre-chamber-into-silencer design, with unitized header pipes and pre-chamber. The 35mm exhaust headers enhance high-rpm performance while keeping noise levels low at idle. Joint pipes between the exhaust headers improve mid-range torque for a better riding experience. A 5.5-liter pre-chamber boosts environmental performance, allowing for a smaller silencer that contributes to mass centralization and lower noise levels at idle. The silencer’s dual-chamber internal design improves both performance and the exhaust sound. Catalyzers in the collector pipe and pre-chamber contribute to clean emissions. The compact silencer design complements the stylish Z design, with stainless steel used for the end cap and silencer cover to add a premium touch while maintaining a lightweight and compact appearance.

For the transmission and gearing, new optimized gear ratios were developed in coordination with the Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) system. Together with fuel injection settings, they enable smooth shifting while using the quick shifter. A lightweight 525-size chain and machined rear sprocket further reduce mechanical loss in the drivetrain, enhancing the engine’s performance.

The Assist & Slipper Clutch, inspired by race technology, provides a back-torque limiting function with a light feel at the lever. It uses two cams: an assist cam and a slipper cam. The assist cam functions by pulling the clutch hub and operating plate together, which compresses the clutch plates. This reduces the total clutch spring load, making the clutch lever easier to pull. When excessive engine braking occurs during quick or accidental downshifts, the slipper cam disengages the clutch hub and operating plate, reducing pressure on the clutch plates to help prevent rear tire hopping and skidding.

KAWASAKI CORNERING MANAGEMENT FUNCTION (KCMF)

Kawasaki’s Cornering Management Function (KCMF) leverages advanced programming and minimal hardware to provide the ECU with a precise real-time understanding of the chassis dynamics. This proprietary dynamic modeling program examines multiple parameters to adapt to changing road and tire conditions. Using the latest evolution of Kawasaki’s advanced modeling software and feedback from a compact IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), KCMF monitors engine and chassis parameters throughout a corner—from entry, through the apex, to exit—modulating brake force and engine power to ensure smooth transitions and help riders maintain their intended line.

On the Z900 ABS, KCMF utilizes IMU feedback to enhance the function of KTRC (traction management and wheel-lift management) and the ABS system (pitching management and corner braking management). The enhanced ABS uses IMU feedback to calculate the motorcycle’s lean angle and adjust brake force when riders apply brakes mid-turn (e.g., during trail braking), increase brake pressure in a corner to avoid obstacles or encounter unexpected surface changes like leaves, sand, or wet patches. By modulating brake force, the KCMF helps to prevent erratic behavior or slippage, allowing riders to maintain their intended line through the corner or come to a controlled stop.

This comprehensive monitoring and adjustment facilitate a seamless transition between acceleration and braking, enhancing the overall stability and performance of the motorcycle during cornering.

ENHANCED CHASSIS ORIENTATION AWARENESS

The Z900 ABS features enhanced chassis orientation awareness which is achieved through the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The new IMU system monitors inertia across six degrees of freedom, measuring acceleration along the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes, as well as roll rate, yaw rate, and pitch rate. This additional feedback provides a clearer, real-time picture of the chassis orientation, allowing for more precise management and control.

KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL (KTRC)
KTRC offers three modes to cover a wide range of riding conditions, enhancing sport riding performance and providing confidence on low-traction surfaces. Riders can select from Mode 1, which prioritizes forward acceleration; Mode 2, which balances acceleration performance and rider reassurance; and Mode 3, which facilitates smooth riding on challenging surfaces. The system can also be turned off for those who prefer manual control.

In Mode 1, sophisticated programming allows a degree of slip to maximize acceleration, with the system monitoring parameters such as front and rear wheel speed and various engine, machine, and rider inputs. The software bases its dynamic analysis on the chassis’ orientation relative to the road surface, adapting to corner camber and gradient without needing input from the IMU. This complex analysis helps predict and address unfavorable traction conditions, minimizing power drops and ensuring smooth operation by confirming conditions every 5 milliseconds and using ignition cut and airflow control via the Electronic Throttle Valves for quick reactions.

Modes 2 and 3 employ the same logic and control as Mode 1 during normal operation. However, when excessive rear wheel spin is detected, the system retards ignition timing and reduces engine output to regain grip, resulting in a natural feel and smooth engagement. Mode 3, being the most intrusive, assists riders in negotiating challenging patches like train tracks or manhole covers and extended stretches of wet pavement, cobblestone, or gravel. It also limits wheel spin when starting on low-traction surfaces, enhancing confidence and control.

IMU-ENHANCED ABS

When braking in a straight line, the IMU feedback also helps manage pitching by adjusting brake pressure to reduce rear wheel lift during heavy braking as weight shifts forward. Specially selected settings ensure the right balance between city riding and sport riding, delivering the best performance for different riding conditions.

POWER MODES

A choice between full power and low power modes allows riders to adjust power delivery to suit their preferences and riding conditions. In both modes, the output at lower RPM remains the same, but low power mode limits the overall output to approximately 75% of full power and provides a milder throttle response. The reduction in power and throttle response varies depending on engine speed (RPM), throttle position, and gear position, offering a customizable riding experience tailored to different scenarios.

INTEGRATED RIDING MODES

The Z900 ABS features integrated riding modes that link Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) and Power Modes, allowing riders to efficiently adjust traction control and power delivery for different riding conditions. Riders can choose from three pre-set modes—Sport, Road, and Rain—or opt for a manual setting (Rider) where each system can be set independently. Sport mode is designed for spirited, sporty riding, while the Road mode accommodates a wide range of scenarios, from city commutes to highway cruises and rural roads. The Rain mode provides additional reassurance when riding on wet surfaces.

Switching between riding modes is convenient and can be done while riding using the button on the left handlebar, ensuring that riders can adapt to changing conditions seamlessly. The ability to customize the Rider mode further allows riders to tailor the bike’s performance to their specific preferences, making the Z900 ABS adaptable to various riding styles and environments.

KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER (KQS)

Complementing the exhilarating engine on the Z900 ABS is the contactless-type KQS which enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and easy deceleration. During acceleration, the system detects the shift lever actuation and signals the ECU to retard ignition for clutchless gear engagement. During deceleration, KQS automatically controls engine speed for clutchless downshifting. The updated KQS now functions at a lower RPM, enhancing its versatility.

ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL

Kawasaki’s electronic cruise control system on the Z900 ABS allows riders to maintain a desired speed with the simple press of a button, eliminating the need to constantly apply the throttle. This feature reduces stress on the right hand during long-distance travel, promoting relaxed cruising and enhancing overall riding comfort. The system is conveniently operated from the left handle, where it can be engaged with the touch of a button, making it user-friendly and easily accessible.

Once the desired speed is set, the engine output is automatically adjusted via the Electronic Throttle Valves to maintain the speed, even when encountering ascending or descending grades. Riders can adjust the set speed using the “+” and “-” buttons for fine-tuning. The electronic cruise control disengages when the brake lever, clutch lever, or rear brake pedal are operated, or when gears are shifted. Additionally, closing the throttle beyond the “zero-throttle” position or large traction control interventions will automatically disengage the system.

CHASSIS

The lightweight trellis frame of the Z900 ABS is made from high-tensile steel, with components following an ideal pipeline design. Wherever possible, the frame lines are kept straight, and when bends are necessary, their angles are minimized to ensure optimal stress distribution. This design trims away all unnecessary material, resulting in an extremely lightweight frame, which is key to the Z900 ABS nimble handling.

The engine is rigidly mounted at five points—forward and aft of the cylinder head, behind the cylinder, and at the top and bottom of the crankcases—making it a stressed member, which significantly contributes to the lightweight frame and chassis.

The updated gusset behind the head pipe adjusts the rigidity balance for improved maneuverability, while the area around the pivot on the left side has been revised to accommodate the quick shifter. The lightweight extruded aluminum swingarm reduces unsprung weight, enhancing the bike’s agile handling.

The twin-tube rear frame design features mostly straight lines, which help minimize vibrations felt through the seat. Additionally, the rear frame’s rails follow a less upswept line, allowing for more seat cushioning and contributing to the Z900 ABS optimized riding position.

SUSPENSION

The Z900 ABS features a 41mm inverted front fork with stepless rebound damping and spring preload adjustability in the left fork tube. The adjusters are conveniently located on the fork top cap for easy access.

Updated front and rear suspension settings provide a more forward-leaning stance, giving the bike a more planted feel at the front. This improves stability when encountering bumps or gaps mid-corner, boosting rider confidence for a more enjoyable sport-riding experience.

The Horizontal Back-Link rear suspension system positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm, contributing to mass centralization and ensuring the suspension remains unaffected by heat from the exhaust. The rear shock also offers rebound and preload adjustability, delivering a balance between sporty performance and comfort, ideal for both street riding and spirited rides in the hills.

BRAKES AND WHEELS

Dual 300mm front disc brakes provide ample braking power while enhancing the bike’s sporty image. The front features new dual radial-mounted opposed 4-piston calipers, which contribute to stronger braking, improved brake feel, and lighter weight, making control easier during sport riding.
At the rear, a new 250mm disc brake with revised brake pad and brake line materials improves control. Front and rear ABS complement the powerful disc brakes.

Stylish star-pattern 5-spoke wheels are not only visually striking but also lightweight, contributing to the bike’s nimble handling and light appearance. Low unsprung weight, achieved through components like the swingarm and wheels, plays a key role in the Z900 ABS light, agile handling. The new Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tires, with an updated compound, offer a more planted feel for improved performance.
