Features:
* Incredible Power-to-weight ratio
* Race-oriented Performance
* Track-tuned handling
* Aggressive new aerodynamic styling
* Very compact, narrow, and light-weight design
* The upper crankcase and cylinder are a one-piece casting which is more than two pounds lighter than using a separate cylinder and offers increased rigidity. A slanted casting process rotates the piece during casting to eliminate imperfections and excess casting material.
*Channels in the case mounting surface route oil to various parts of the engine, eliminating oil lines and saving weight.
*The crank axis, input shaft, and output shaft create a stacked triangular layout that is compact, reduces engine length, and lowers the center of gravity.
*Specially shaped breathing passageways between the chrome composite-plated aluminum cylinders reduce pumping loss to help increase power.
*A high-efficiency, liquid-cooled aluminum oil cooler uses specially designed internal fins to dissipate heat and cool the oil. 4-Valve Cylinder Head (KP)
*Compact valve train reduces cylinder head height.
*Intake port and coolant passages developed using flow analysis for efficient cylinder filling, more power, and maximum cooling efficiency.
*Camshafts are carved from forged chromoly billet, which is more than one-half pound lighter than cast cams. The cams and tappets are treated with soft nitriding to prevent galling and seizing with the aggressive, high-lift profiles
*Forged sintered aluminum spring retainers are half the weight of steel retainers and allow higher rpm
Information
**Slightly more user-friendly than the previous C-model Kawasaki ZX-10R of 2004/05 but this Kawasaki ZX-10R is still a pretty extreme, track-focused missile. Competitive in the 1000cc sports category, so obscenely fast and fine handling. Kawasaki ZX-10R headlights are not to everyone’s taste visually but it’s a look that gets cars out of the way sharpish. *Ride quality & brakes This Kawasaki ZX-10R is so much better behaved on bumpy roads than its predecessor. Quick and effortless to turn, stable and easy to change line mid-corner, the Kawasaki ZX-10R comes with Ohlins steering damper as standard. You’ll still need to be a dedicated, experienced rider if you want to push hard on the track and a madman to do it on the road. *Engine 173bhp (181 with ram air) pushing a compact 175kg is never going to be anything other than f-f-f-f-flippin’ fast. And that’s exactly what the Kawasaki ZX-10R is. It revs extremely rapidly and you appreciate the slick gear change as you whiz through the ratios. Third-gear power wheelies on the Kawasaki ZX-10R? Naturally. *Reliability & build quality No regular problems – with proper maintenance the Kawasaki ZX-10R engine should run forever. You can’t thrash a motorcycle like this regularly.
