2021 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS KRT Sports Motorcycle – Features and Specs
Unique Key Features
- Twin LED headlights;
- TFT color instrumentation;
- The fuel-capable twin-cylinder engine provides smooth power;
- The lightweight trails frame provides vibrant, sporty handling;
649cc Twin-Cylinder, DOHC Engine
They are tuned to provide robust, responsive power for every day riding that builds high confidence among new riders while the sport is also quite robust for riding. Camshaft profiles are improved for speed and performance. Additionally, the thin intake port shape helps increase engine response and performance.
An overall power Sensation is enhanced by the Airbox design that features a large-scale duplicate entry. The exhaust system features a short header, and an internal structure of the smooth muffler further improves power transmission. The damper is under the engine to reduce the center of gravity and distribute the weight more evenly.
Digital Fuel Injection (KP)
The new fuel injection settings add to the rapid recovery of the engine by giving a smooth low-end response.
The 36 mm throttle body has precise atomizing injectors for an ultimate engine response and lower to mid-range output.
Throttle bodies are attached with sub-throttle valves (KP) for ultimate performance and riding ability. The ECU controls the sub-throttle, positioned behind the main throttle valves, to offer the EFI system a precise throttle response, similar to a constant speed carburetor.
Assist & Slipper Clutch (KP)
The clutch is pushed together during acceleration (Assist function) using the revolving forces of the clutch hub and pressure plate, letting the use of low and light clutch springs for a lenient feeling on the lever. The sleeper allows some clutches to slip in high backlight conditions, such as when a low gear is selected, to help decrease engine lockup and stalling, as well as rear-wheel hop.
Frame
The new and high-tensile steel trails are designed to decrease the frame’s dimensions and wall thickness to reduce the frame’s weight and assist in exceptionally delicate handling.
Overall, frame components are connected as much as possible to the pipeline to guarantee that the frame lines are straight. When turning was necessary, the angles were kept as short, ensuing in a design that effectively distributed the load. To help in weight loss, a three-point rigid engine and the foot peg stay are used as pressure elements.
Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension (KP)
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R’s horizontal backlink progressive suspension technology maximizes balance, sport riding ability, and riding comfort.
The connection is attached to the new swing arm to make way for an under-engine muffler, which maintains the mass distribution better.
Since the previous shock is mounted farther away from the exhaust, it will not get affected by the heat generated by the exhaust.
41mm Front Fork
To improve the overall appearance, the triple upper clamp includes nice-looking strong ribs on the upper surface.
Triple Petal Design Brake Discs
Nissin brake calipers feature a stylish look and feel and control the magnificent brakes.
For extraordinary braking sensations, the front brake calipers hold dual 300mm petal discs and use large pistons of 27mm.
The petal design provides brilliant cooling and warping resistance.
Wheels and Tires
A trivial, sleek aspect of the sporty five-spoke wheel design.
The new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires help in light handling.
Confidence-Inspiring Cockpit
Separate clip-on type handlebar attaches are placed prominently above the triple upper clamp for the offensive sport ride stand. To help maintain comfort, the position of the legs is opened by placing them down and forward.
The front seat of the bike is low and narrow so it is straightforward for the rider to maintain both feet on the ground.
Sharp Ninja Styling
The Ninja motorcycle style is aggressive and resembles the ZX-10R, which has won the Super Bike World Championship several times.
A broad upper cowl improves a muscular appearance with a noticeable oblique. For a sleek appearance, the new windscreen is flush-fitted including a cowl, and its straight angle helps to bend the wind for an enjoyable ride. The offensive aspect is improved by the twin LED headlights, each including low and high beams and position lamps.
All-new TFT Color Instrumentation
Thanks to the new all-digital 4.3-inch TFT color device, the brand-new cockpit has a high-tech, sophisticated appearance.
TFT provides outstanding visibility. The background color of the screen can be altered i.e. into black or white while the screen’s brightness is automatically adjusted accordingly.
