 FEATURES  ZZR®600  ZZR®600
 Manufacturer  Kawasaki  Kawasaki
 Model Year  2007  2007
 Model  ZZR®600  ZZR®600
 599 cc Four-Cylinder DOHC Engine
  To decrease engine weight and improve heat transfer, the cylinders have linerless, electroplated aluminum bores
  The combustion chamber uses a pentroof/semi-hemi design with a higher compression ratio for more low-end torque and more power throughout the rev range
  The alternator, sump, cylinder head, clutch, and cam chain covers are magnesium to cut weight
 Liquid Cooling
  The automatic fan is on the left side of the curved aluminum radiator to save space
  Includes an LCD temperature gauge
  A liquid-cooled oil cooler helps keep the oil cool
 Twin Ram Air Induction
  Large ducts for more air pressure, which increases high speed power
  The extended opening increases pressure in the system for excellent volumetric efficiency
 Kawasaki Throttle Responsive Ignition Control (K-TRIC)
  K-TRIC monitors throttle position and engine rpm, and controls ignition advance for the best power, fuel economy and detonation resistance
 Transistor Controlled Breakerless Ignition with Digital Advance
  A 16-bit central processing unit responds more quickly to engine needs
  Never needs adjustment
  The rotor has 12 projections to update the processor often
 Spark Plug-Mounted Ignition Coils
  Four small ignition coils are in the spark plug caps to reduce overall weight, take up less room, and provide strong, consistent spark
 Catalyzer
  To meet emissions limits and make even more power at the same time, all models have a pre-catalyzer in the pipe leading to the muffler
  California models also have a catalyzer in the muffler
 Fully Adjustable 46 mm Cartridge Front Fork
  Large 46 mm fork tubes are extra rigid to improve handling performance on the street
 Bottom-Link UNI-TRAK Rear Suspension
  Extruded aluminum swingarm is lightweight and rigid
  Linkage ratios offer smooth and linear suspension response
  Upper shock mount is threaded for ride height adjustment
 Dual Semi-Floating Front Disc Brakes
  The six-piston opposed front brake calipers have differential size pistons and aggressive pad material for excellent feel and bite
  300 mm discus are 5 mm thick to stand up to extreme use
 220 mm Rear Disc Brake
  Small overall diameter saves weight
  Lightweight, single-piston caliper produces quick, sure stops
 Lightweight Aluminum Perimeter Frame
  Short wheelbase and steep head angle produce quick, responsive handling
  Rigid design provides good handling and durability
 Electronic Instrumentation
  The speedometer includes a coolant temperature gauge, odometer, trip meter, and a clock
  The tachometer incorporates a coolant warning light
 Comfortable Riding Position
  The handlebars are an easy reach, a nice flat seat gives comfort for long rides and wide mirrors reveal more than your shoulders
  The fairing and windscreen offer an easy ride with great protection from the elements
 Authentic Kawasaki Accessories
  Available accessories include tank bra, locks, alarm and bike cover
 Additional Features:
  A lightweight aluminum perimeter frame provides the backbone of the ZZR600’s chassis, while suspension duties are handled by a fully adjustable 46 mm cartridge-type front fork and fully adjustable UNI-TRAK® rear suspension.
  Stopping power is provided by six-piston calipers gripping dual 300 mm semi-floating front disc brakes, matched by a 220 mm rear disc brake.
  The ZZR600 is shod with high-performance radial tires mounted on 17-inch aluminum wheels. The 120/65ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear tires provide maximum traction and help provide a smooth ride over bumpy surface streets and freeway expansion joints.
  The simple, sleek lines of the ZZR600’s aerodynamic bodywork are distinctly Kawasaki in appearance, striking an elegant-but-athletic balance with its aluminum frame, angled front fairing, performance-enhancing air scoop and three-spoke wheels.
  Plus, the ZZR600 makes long-distance rides a pleasure with a stepped flat seat, bars that are easy to reach and wide mirrors that provide an exceptional view.
  The instrument cluster for the ZZR600 is entirely electronic and includes a speedometer, tachometer, coolant temperature gauge, odometer, trip meter and – one of the most desirable of features – a digital clock.
