2011 Kawasaki Z1000

This is a rare thing: a new bottom-up bike that feels so right and working out very well right of the chests that have passed out of the press and chanting owners. Both the bike is sorted but rarely is often described as “the motor happy,” and it became clear during the last year that Kawasaki Z1000 – completely redesigned in 2010 – is the engine very pleased. It is the awareness that comes after only a mile or two in the saddle, and it’s.

About Engine :

• Liquid-cooled inline-four offers substantial power at all rpm levels, providing effortless acceleration in almost any situation
• Bore and stroke dimensions of 77.0 x 56.0 mm offer the best possible balance of peak power and low
• and mid-range flexibility
• 38mm downdraft throttle bodies allow intake air to travel to the engine in the shortest possible distance
• Oval sub-throttles help keep the engine slim – a good thing since the throttle bodies are positioned between the rider’s knees
• Soft rev limiter provides good overrev character; power doesn’t drop off suddenly at high rpm
• The crankshaft is positioned low in the crankcase assembly to allow a longer stroke without adding engine height
• A secondary balancer, driven off a gear on the sixth web of the crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration
