2013 Kawasaki Zx 14r Abs Se on 2040-motos

Kawasaki Other description

The massively more powerful, R-designated, Ninja ZX-14R made its debut last year as an almost entirely new motorcycle. It remains on-top for 2013, reigning as the undisputed king of the sportbike world. New optional ANTILOCKING BRAKES brakes complement its amazing comfort and usability on the street, and help increase its appeal to a wide range of riders. It has to be tough competing against a machine like the ZX-14R, year after year, and continuous refinements have kept it several steps ahead of the sportbike competition, all while filling enthusiasts' face shields with wild, ear-to-ear grins.Key Features Massively powerful 1,441cc inline-four engine is the strongest motorcycle engine Kawasaki has ever produced and delivers the most power of any current production sportbike in the world New ANTILOCKING BRAKES brake option is available for 2013. This compact and lightweight system helps increase rider confidence and helps provide additional anti-theft in slippery situations KTRC traction-control system features 3 different modes for varying conditions and is controlled by a handy switch assembly on the left handlebar Slipper clutch assembly controls rear-wheel torque effects while braking and downshifting Exhaust system features tapered head pipes, a catalyzer and an efficient muffler assembly for low noise and emissions Aluminum monocoque frame is narrow, strong and rigid for impressive sport riding performance Aluminum swingarm assembly is longer than traditional designs and features strengthening gussets to cope with the engine's substantial torque Supersport bodywork package builds upon the slick aesthetic image of the previous machine, includes a rear seat cowl and adds better air management to the mix for improved rider and passenger comfort All-new 10-spoke wheels are more than 3 lbs lighter in total than the previous machine's units; this reduces unsprung weight, which aids handling and maneuverability New disc material and pads improve the 14R's radial-mount braking system Revised suspension settings front and rear add wheel control and compliance to an already plush ride Higher overall finish quality than before, including hidden bodywork fasteners1,441cc 4 cyl Liquid-Cooled DUAL OVERHEAD CAM Engine Long-stroke design, ported cylinder heads, lightweight forged pistons, and aggressive camshaft profiles provide more torque and power throughout the rev range than any other production sportbike Piston jet system sprays a continuous stream of cooling lubrication to the underside of each piston for cooler running temperatures, more consistent power output and excellent long term durability Strong cam chain and tensioning system offers excellent high-rpm durability Thick 40mm crankshaft main journals contribute to longterm engine durability Surface and heat treatments allow the transmission gears to better harness the engine's prodigious power output Chrome composite-plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and effectively transfer heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for max durability at high power outputs Mechanical noise is kept to a min via special piston profiles and a urethane insulation sheet on the inside of the magnesium chain coverHigh-flow Exhaust System Header assembly has tapered-diameter pipes for optimal engine response and power output The internal construction of the dual mufflers minimizes the impact of noise and emissions regulations, while maintaining impressive top-end power Airflow directed into the exhaust by the large secondary air ports in the cylinder head and head cover, plus a 3rd honeycomb catalyzer in the exhaust collector, help meet strict Euro III emissions standardsGear-driven Dual Engine Balancers Revised balance weights keep the newly dimensioned engine (more stroke) in ideal balance, resulting in improved comfort for riders and passengers Already in perfect primary balance, the ZX-14R's engine design features dual secondary balancers that virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth operation and reduced rider fatigueRam Air Induction Central ram air duct in the newly shaped fairing draws cooler, higher-pressure air from the face of the fairing and efficiently guides it through the larger and more efficient air cleaner and into the reworked engine for max power outputDigital Fuel Injection DFI throttle body assembly features individual 44mm throttle bodies fitted with an idle speed control and sub-throttle valves controlled by the 32-bit ECU. They provide precise response, smooth performance, automatic idle speed adjustment, and help the bike meet strict Euro III emissions requirements High performance intake tract porting optimizes flow characteristics Fuel injectors deliver lateral spray at a 20-degree angle to disperse the finely atomized (75-micron droplet size) fuel over a wide areaDual-Mode Digital Ignition Rider selectable High & Low maps offer a choice between full power and approx 50 percent power output to help suit changing conditions Digital Timing Advance enhances low and mid-range power Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the 4 spark plugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-upKTRC Traction Control KTRC traction-control system features 3 different selectable modes to suit rider preference and different riding conditions Modes are selected by a handy switch assembly on the left handlebar Modes are indicated on the LCD cockpit displayBack-Torque Limiting Slipper Clutch Back-torque limiting slipper clutch assembly helps control rear-wheel torque effects while downshifting or coasting to minimize wheel hop, chatter and reduce rider stress Radial-pump hydraulic clutch master cylinder offers smooth and precise engagement and optimal feel at the leverABS Disc Brakes with Petal-type Rotors and Radial-Mount Calipers ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM brakes offer excellent performance and enhanced confidence in adverse conditions Compact, lightweight ANTILOCKING BRAKES unit is highly effective without weighing the bike down Petal-type brake rotors provide better cooling and enhanced warp resistance than traditional discs Radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers offer greater rigidity than traditional caliper mounting to improve brake feel A separate brake pad is pre-owned for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming so they maintain a consistent brake feel longer Radial-pump front brake master cylinder provides excellent lever feel and feedbackMonocoque Aluminum Frame Lightweight monocoque frame is a hollow aluminum box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swingarm pivot. It is narrow, strong, rigid and very light Many of the frame's cast aluminum sections steering head and swingarm pivot areas are produced via a die-casting process for weight savings Rigidly mounted engine is a stressed frame member, which increases the frame's torsional rigidity and saves weight vs. traditional designs Engine is positioned forward in the frame, with the long wheelbase and front/rear weight balance carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive handling Long swingarm design helps maximize forward drive and is gusseted to better cope with the engine's healthy torque output Massive head pipe casti
