2022 Kawasaki Versys 1000 LT SE Touring Motorcycle – Features and Specs

Assist & Slipper Clutch

Based on racing actions data, Assist & Sleeper Clutch combines two types of cams (an assist cam and a sleeper cam) to hold the clutch hub and operation plate together or apart.

The assist cam is a self-service mechanism in regular operation, pulling the clutch hub and operating plate together and compressing the clutch plates. It reduces the overall load of the clutch spring, resulting in a lighter clutch lever when using the clutch.

Economical Riding Indicator

Kawasaki models can achieve high levels of fuel efficiency thanks to the management of high-precision electronic engines. Throttle usage, gear selection, and other factors controlling the rider, however, significantly affect fuel consumption. The Economical Riding Indicator is a feature that shows when current riding conditions are using petrol. The device continuously analyzes fuel usage regardless of vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position, or other riding conditions. An “ECO” indicator appears on the instrument panel’s LCD screen when the fuel consumption for a particular speed is low (i.e., the fuel efficiency is high). Fuel consumption can be reduced by riding with the “ECO” signal on.

Electronic Cruise Control

Electronic cruise control lets you maintain a fixed speed (engine RPM) at the push of a button. Once activated, the rider does not need to use the throttle continuously. When traveling long distances, it reduces the pressure on the right hand, providing a comfortable ride and a high level of comfort.

Electronic Throttle Valves

The ECU can control the fuel volume (via fuel injectors) and air (via throttle valves) delivered to the engine with Kawasaki’s complete electronic throttle activation system. Ideal fuel injection and fantastic throttle valve position result in smooth, natural engine response and ideal engine output. The system also plays a vital role in reducing emissions.

KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control)

KTRC, Kawasaki’s innovative traction control technology, improves sports riding performance and gives you peace of mind while discussing slippery conditions. Multiple rider selectable modes (the number of methods varies depending on the model) provide a gradual high level of interference depending on the riding conditions and the rider’s desire.

Less invasive settings keep traction at bay when cornering. They’re designed with sports rides in mind, and they help you accelerate off the turn by increasing the rear-wheel forward drive. Kawasaki’s state-of-the-art software can consider corner camber, gradient, and other factors as it focuses its dynamic analysis on the chassis orientation rather than the track surface (rather than the horizontal plane).

Power Modes

Models with multiple power modes provide the riders with easily selected engine power delivery according to their riding conditions or preferences. In addition to the full power mode, one (low) or two (medium, low) alternate methods limit the maximum power and soften the throttle response.

Cornering lights

Three brand-new LED lights are built into each side of the fairing to help illuminate the road when cornering at night. Each of these lights comes in a fixed direction, and they are activated based on a lean angle. As the motorcycle leans over, the lights come in order, thus creating a wider illuminated path in the motorcycle’s direction.
