Designed for #1 performance on the circuit and winding roads |
|
|
|
|
|
Power boosting features include bigger intake and exhaust valves, new cams, and larger |
|
|
|
|
|
area oval-shaped sub-throttles fed by dual injectors |
|
|
|
|
|
Exhaust valve integral with the under-seat muffler improves low- and mid-range engine performance |
|
|
|
|
|
Improved aerodynamics give this middle-weight SuperSport the best CdA of any NINJA to date |
|
|
|
|
|
Back torque limiter is standard |
|
|
|
|
|
New frame and swingarm with revised chassis dimensions improve cornering performance |
|
|
|
|
|
300mm petal-style front disc brakes with radial-mount calipers and direct-action brake master cylinder provide excellent performance and feel |
|
|
|
|
|
Revised riding position based on the ZX-10R lets the rider take advantage of the awesome performance |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New cylinder head design locates each pair of intake/exhaust valves farther apart for improved breathing and higher combustion efficiency |
|
|
|
|
|
Complementing the new head are new pistons with reshaped crowns and improved, low-friction skirt profiles |
|
|
|
|
|
Larger diameter intake and exhaust valves, together with new cam profiles, contribute to the new engine’s enhanced performance |
|
|
|
|
|
Dual-injector fuel injection system uses fine atomizing injectors for the main injectors and features a set of secondary injectors located in the airbox for improved cylinder filling, crisper throttle response and higher power output |
|
|
|
|
|
Extremely narrow included valve angle of 25 degrees allows the fitting of large valves in a compact, highly efficient combustion chamber |
|
|
|
|
|
Breathing passageways, one located between each pair of cylinders, contributes to effective crankcase breathing, which reduces pumping loss |
|
|
|
|
|
Thicker castings used for the engine cases improve engine rigidity and reduce vibration and feature improved lubrication |
|
|
|
|
|
The new lower case has separate mounting bosses for the oil filter and oil cooler |
|
|
|
|
|
New aluminum oil cooler improves cooling efficiency. |
|
|
|
|
|
Further performance gains were achieved by increasing the width of the oil pump while changing its drive ratio to reduce its rpm |
|
|
|
|
|
Deeper oil sump lowers the oil level for reduced windage losses |
|
|
|
|
|
The crankshaft has been strengthened to reduce flexing and now features larger diameter main journals (from 30mm to 31mm), and the crank has been re-balanced for smoother running |
|
|
|
|
|
Catalytic converter located at the collector helps keep emissions friendly |
|
|
|
|
|
New auto-fast-idle system improves starting |
