Kawasaki 2020 Versys 1000 ABS LT SE Touring Bike – Features and Specs

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for a robust electronic riding aid package. Includes Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS). The standard cruise control system is integrated with the electronic throttle valve. Saddlebags and handguards are required from KQRTM. Adjustable windscreen with dual LED headlights and cornering lights.

Rider Aids

Kawasaki’s state-of-the-art electronics have always performed brilliantly because of the highly sophisticated programming that gives the ECU a precise real-time image of what the frame is doing with minimal software. The electronic management technology on the Versys® 1000 SE LT + motorbike incorporates the latest iterations of Bosch IMU and Kawasaki’s unique dynamic modeling software so that riders can enjoy the ride with increasing confidence. IMU calculates inertia with five axes: longitude, transition, and vertical velocity; Roll rate; and pitch rate. ECU calculates Yao’s rate with Kawasaki’s unique software so that the six-axis chassis can provide lean angle and acceleration/delirium force for more accurate electronic auxiliary riding control.

Corner Management Function

The Corner Management Function uses both KIBS and KTRC to help riders maintain their planned trajectory around a corner by reducing the tendency of the bike to rise when applied to the brakes. Based on the motorcycle’s lean and pitch angles, IMUs help the input system maintain maximum hydraulic pressure. The same approach is based on Ninja H2TM and Ninja® ZXTM-10R bikes with better program settings to meet the performance requirements of Versys® 1000 SE LT +. To modulate the brake pressure, the engine ECU interacts with the ABS ECU (which monitors wheel speed and front caliper hydraulic pressure). Compared to traditional ABS systems, high-precision control gives a more permanent lever feel.

Electronic Cruise Control

Allows the user to maintain the desired speed with a simple push of a button instead of constantly modulating the throttle. When traveling long distances, it relieves tension on the right-hand side, making walking and riding more accessible. When encountering an ascending or falling gradient, the engine’s power is automatically regulated by electronic throttle valves to maintain proper speed. The “+” and “-” buttons can change specific rates.
