Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle – Features
KECS (Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension)
Kinetic Energy Conversion System (KECS) is standard equipment on the Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle. It adjusts to the road and riding circumstances to provide the correct amount of damping. For those who want to ride in various conditions, KECS’s combination of high-level mechanical components and cutting-edge electrical control technology offers both flexibility and control. When cornering, the tires give a sense of stability. The Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle is the first Kawasaki motorcycle to include electronic rear preload adjustment.
KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter)
For smooth acceleration and effortless deceleration, the SE variant of the Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle comes equipped with a fast shifter that lets riders swap gears without needing a clutch lever. The Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle standard model may also be equipped with the rapid shifter as an add-on.
LED Corner Lights
When cornering at night, the lights incorporated inside the shrouds aid in illuminating the path ahead. Lean angle activates each of the three lights in a specific direction. Lights illuminate a more comprehensive route in the direction the bike is headed when the bike leans over. It’s not an option. However, the SE model has them.
Integrated Riding Modes
Athlete, Track, Rain, and Tire (manual)
With all-inclusive modes that connect KTRC, Power Mode, and KERS, SE models provide riders the ability to fine-tune their vehicle’s performance and handling characteristics to fit the rider’s needs.
Smartphone Connectivity
Built inside the instrument panel of the Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle 1000 SE is a Bluetooth chip that allows riders to communicate wirelessly with their motorbike. It is possible to access various instrument features through the “RIDEOLOGY THE APP” smartphone application.
Highly Durable Paint

Exciting In-Line Four Engine
Exciting engine performance isn’t the only thing that makes the Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle a joy to ride. Every time rider twists the throttle, the 1,043 cm3 In-line Four’s optimized for flexibility will provide a physically and acoustically exciting experience thanks to its quick response, robust torque across the rev band, and seductive intake wail. Electronic Cruise Control and better power delivery benefit from switching to Electronic Throttle Valves for 2019 models.
Electronic Throttle Valves
Electronic Throttle Valves allow the ECU to regulate the fuel and air fed to the engine through the fuel injectors and throttle valves, respectively. Smooth, natural engine response and optimal engine power outcomes of optimal fuel injection and throttle valve positioning.
Fun Sport Riding
It’s pretty uncommon to ride on streets that aren’t even paved (cobblestone, for example), so Kawasaki engineers decided to go with the long-travel suspension to make it easier for riders to turn bends with confidence. The Kawasaki 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle’s long-travel suspension, which isn’t intended for off-road usage, enables it to handle less-than-ideal street situations better than motorcycles with sportier, stiffer suspensions. Fast, dynamic handling is made possible by using 17-inch lightweight wheels both front and back.
Assist & Slipper Clutch
Both back-torque limitation and a very light lever feel are features of race-inspired clutch technology.
Upright riding position
High levels of control and comfort may be achieved in a wide range of driving situations thanks to a spacious, upright sitting posture.
The Kansas City Metropolitan Police Force (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function)
Total Engine and Chassis Management Package with IMU-equipped
By monitoring engine and chassis parameters throughout the corner – from entry to apex and exit and modulating brake force and engine power, KCMF helps riders smoothly transition from acceleration to braking and back again while assisting them in tracing their intended line through the corner using the advanced evolution of Kawasaki’s advanced modeling software and feedback from an ultra-compact Bosch IMU.
All-new KCMF is in charge of the following systems on the 2019 Versys 1000 SE Sports Touring Motorcycle: KECS (SE-only feature)
KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control)
Three modes cover a wide variety of riding circumstances. Each provides either improved sport riding performance or the peace of mind necessary to navigate slippery areas safely.
New KIBS (featuring corner braking management & pitching management)
KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System)

Radial-Mount Front Brake Calipers
Radial-mount monobloc calipers with radial-pump front brake master cylinders hold the 310 mm front petal discs, providing an excellent feel and impressive stopping power.
Electronic Cruise Control
The cruise control feature on Kawasaki’s motorcycles enables the rider to maintain a predetermined speed by pressing a button. Once engaged, the rider is relieved of the need to press the accelerator pedal continually. Long-distance traveling is more enjoyable by reducing the strain on the right hand and allowing for more leisurely sailing.
Adjustable Windscreen

Still, the sleeplessly adjustable windshield can be adjusted to the rider’s taste for even more comfortable highway riding. Changing the windscreen’s height has never been easier. The SE comes with an average high screen.
Two Available Seats
In both the basic and the SE versions, a thicker urethane cushioning provides long hours of comfort while allowing taller riders to relax their knees in the seat. The Low Seat (20 mm lower) accessory can be added to both bikes to make it easier for riders of all heights to get their feet on the ground.
Handy power source
A DC socket, a previously optional attachment, is now included as standard equipment in the cockpit. Pre-wiring is included with the socket. There is a total of 40 watts of electricity.
Twin LED Headlamps
In addition to the low and high beams, each new LED headlight now has a position light. The new headlights are very noticeable and give considerably improved brightness for nighttime trips.
All-LED Lighting

KECS-Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension
In real-time, KECS (Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension) adjusts its damping to sync the road and riding conditions.
Electronic Throttle Valves
Electronic Throttle Valves enable the ECU to provide the engine with the correct quantity of fuel and air.
Assist & Slipper Clutch
Because it is based on racing technology, the Assist and Slipper Clutch reduces the force required to operate the clutch lever.
KTRC (3-mode)
KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control), Kawasaki’s most sophisticated traction control system, has three operating modes to accommodate various riding styles, from sporty to touring.
Electronic Cruise Control
The ability to set the vehicle’s speed is provided via electronic cruise control. Long-distance travel may be made more comfortable with the use of rider support technologies.
Economical Riding Indicator
