Kawasaki z 1000 Cool Air systemWith the airbox nestled between
the frame beams, intake air can be affected by engine heat.The Cool
Air system routes cool air to the airbox from ducts at the front of
the side fairings, minimising performance loss due to heated intake
air. This should not be confused with Ram Air, where force-fed air
becomes pressurised in the airbox. Separate Function Fork - Big
Piston (SFF-BP)The more direct handling of the new Z1000 can be
largely attributed to its new suspension. The new SFF-BP achieves
both comfort and sport potential ideal for street riding.potential
ideal for street riding.Combining the concepts of Showa SFF and
BPF, the new fork features springs on both sides, with preload
adjustability in the left tube and damping duties in the right
tube. Intoxicating Intake HowlDesigned specifically so that
acceleration could be enjoyed aurally as well as physically, the
carefully crafted auditory note of the intake is a key component of
the street riding exhilaration offered by the Z1000. Radial-mount
monobloc calipersHigh-performance brake package includes triple
petal discs, radial-mount monobloc calipers and radial-pump front
brake master cylinder. The new monobloc calipers and new brake pad
material contribute to a stronger initial bite, superb brake
feeling and formidable stopping power. Models with ABS also
available. 1,043 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-line FourPowerful
engine pulls strongly from all rpm and does not let up before the
redline. Adding to rider exhilaration, the engine delivers superb
response, a strong mid-range hit and an intoxicating intake howl.
More direct response thanks to new engine settings and shorter
gearing adds to the Z1000s sporty street riding potential.
Aluminium fat barIdeally suited to the Supernaked character, the
wide-set fat bar facilitates rider control.The wide aluminium fat
bar features a brushed finish and a black alumite1 coating.
Aluminium twin-tube frameThe highly rigid aluminium frame features
a high degree of mass centralisation, creating a balance between
sharp turning and firm handling.Lightweight and highly rigid, the
frame uses the engine as a stressed member. The frame offers a
firm, planted feeling, good stability and light, nimble turning.The
frame is a 5-piece cast aluminium construction, consisting of
steering stem, left and right main frames, and two cross pieces.
The two main frame components have open C-shaped cross sections and
were die-cast to ensure a smooth surface finish.Read more
Larger-volume fuel tankNew fuel tank design increases fuel capacity
to 17 litres, offering a greater touring range. LED headlampThe
thin, compact headlamp cowl was positioned as low as possible,
extending the line that starts from the top of the tank.This is
first time for Kawasaki to use the reflector-less LED headlamp
design. Using LED lamps allows the design to be thin, the shape
contributing to the more intense glare of the new Z1000s face, and
the reflector-less design further enhances its predatory
appearance.There are four long-life, low-energy LED bulbs: two
low-beam (centre), two high-beam (outside). All four bulbs light up
when the high-beams are on. A separate LED position lamp is located
on the meter coverRead more InstrumentationThe Z1000s compact
instrument cluster is mounted directly to the handlebar, which
added to design freedom and helped realise the compact headlamp
cowl. Its low position creates an unobstructed view of the road
ahead. The futuristic design of the LED tachometer and LCD screen
reflects the sport potential of the new Z. Mass centralisationThe
exhaust system (with large pre-chamber and short silencers),
Horizontal Back-link rear suspension and the use of downdraft
throttle bodies are the greatest contributors to mass
centralisation. The Horizontal Back-link rear suspension
arrangement frees up space taken up by the Uni-Trak suspension
lower linkage, enabling a larger pre-chamber, which in turn allows
the use of shorter mufflers and contributes to mass
centralisation.The lightweight aluminium rear frame also
contributes.The result is light, sharp handling.Read more Die-cast
MirrorsNew mirrors have a sharper design that contributes to the
aggressive image. Die-cast mirror stays contribute to a less
plastic, higher quality feel of the cockpit. Idealised riding
positionAn idealised riding position sees the front lowered and the
rear raised, creating a more aggressive posture. The more
aggressive position matches the bikes more direct throttle response
and handling, putting riders in a position to fully capitalise on
the Z1000s sportier street riding potential. Pre-chamber and short
silencersUsing an under-engine pre-chamber enables smaller-volume
silencers, contributing to both mass centralisation and a more
concentrated styling. New silencer end-cap design adds to sporty
looks. Sugomi designThe Japanese word sugomi describes the intense
aura or energy given off by a person or object of greatness and
felt by the viewer. Someone, or something, possessing sugomi
inspires awe, leaves an indelible impression, is daunting in
stature or ability, and commands respect. In the new Z1000, sugomi
is evident both in its fiercely intense design and the exhilarating
performance it delivers, radiating as a palpable energy.Idealised
dimensions (lower front, raised rear) and all-new tight-fitting
bodywork capture the essence of a predator crouched and ready to
pounce. The lean, muscular styling hints at the Z1000s more direct,
sporty street riding performanceRead more LED taillightNew LED
taillight design adds a futuristic touch to the bikes rear
Downdraft throttle bodiesIn addition to contributing to
performance, downdraft throttle bodies contribute to overall mass
centralisation. Revised intake funnel length contributes to a
stronger mid-range response. Lightweight wheelsSupersport-style
wheels are approximately 1.5 kg lighter, reducing unsprung weight
and contributing to lighter handling. Economical Riding

The it factor is hard to describe, but you always know it when
you see it. Likewise, the new 2014 Kawasaki Z1000 has a
hard-to-define streetfighter style that is impactful enough to
ensure everyone knows theyre seeing something special. In a
significant departure from the concealing bodywork of its sportbike
predecessor, the new Z1000 strips-off unnecessary covers and
bodywork to expose the superior functionality of its parts.

and a digital display offering a wealth of information on current
bike conditions and settings NEW Compact subframe design is more
slender and shorter to match the new styling Upright
"streetfighter" riding position provides excellent leverage on the
controls for maximum maneuverability, coupled with a commanding
view of the urban jungle
1,043cc liquid-cooled inline-four offers true open-class power
from idle to redline NEW Cylinder connecting passageways reduce
pumping losses and improve mid-to-high RPM performance NEW Intake
cams provide improved low-to-midrange torque for instant thrust and
maximum rider satisfaction NEW More-aggressive ECU settings provide
sharper throttle response Bore and stroke dimensions of 77.0 x
56.0mm offer an ideal balance of peak power and low and mid-range
flexibility 38mm Keihin throttle bodies cram the air/fuel mixture
directly into combustion chambers via downdraft intakes for maximum
power Oval sub throttles help keep the engine slim, and a slim
midsection allows an ideal bike/rider interface for maximum comfort
and control Engine's rev limiter comes into play "softly,"
providing usable overrev character because power doesnt drop off
suddenly at high RPM The engine's relatively low crankshaft
position allows a moderately long stroke without adding engine
height A secondary engine balancer, driven off a gear on the sixth
web of the crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration and contributes
to rider comfort NEW Shorter final drive gearing provides quicker
acceleration and enhanced riding excitement, while a new taller 6th
gear helps maintain highway comfort
Digital Timing Advance enhances low-range and mid-range power
Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the four
spark plugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that
cylinder ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier
starting and warm-up
Intake system routes cool air to the airbox via ducts in the
fairing, minimizing performance loss due to heated intake air
UPGRADED Airbox features additional atmospheric intakes to further
enhance the engines intoxicating intake howl NEW Non-woven air
filter element provides better flow for enhanced high-RPM
performance REVISED Velocity stacks are now equal length and
provide improved throttle response and a more exciting engine
character Intake ducts are positioned close to the rider to allow
the intake howl to be heard and enjoyed
The exhaust system features a 4-into-2-pre-chamber-into-2 layout
to provide ample silencer volume without requiring excess bulk in
the rear mufflers NEW Oval-shaped connector tubes are larger than
last years round tubes and help improve engine response for
heightened excitement at all rpms Main and pre-catalyzers help
ensure clean emissions A butterfly valve in the right-side muffler
not only helps reduce noise, but also tunes exhaust back-pressure
waves to help enhance low-rpm engine response NEW Brushed-metal
finish on the silencers provides enhanced visual appeal Exhaust
system offers excellent mass centralization and contributes to a
low center of gravity
NEW 4.5 gallon (17L) fuel tank offers increased range Radical
shape and two tone finish complement the Z1000s new Sugomi inspired
styling UPGRADED Slim type fuel pump features an integral fuel
level sensor with enhanced accuracy for 2014
NEW One-piece monobloc radial-mount front brake calipers offer
superb braking power and control, along with a premium quality look
from their laser-etched Kawasaki logo and black alumite finish
Opposed four-piston radial-mount monobloc calipers with
differentiated diameter (30mm upper, and 32mm lower) pistons
provide excellent feel and progressive braking response A
radial-pump front brake master cylinder contributes to the superb
control and feel offered by these high-end monobloc calipers NEW
ABS pump features a fluid pressure sensor that allows more precise
control of line pressures and also provides data to the ECU to help
suppress rear lift under braking A low-battery mode helps preserve
ABS effectiveness when the battery charge is low. (although riders
may notice that ABS operation is less smooth than in normal mode)
Petal-type 310mm front brake rotors are full-on sportbike hardware
NEW pad compound has a higher coefficient of friction that
contributes to the enhanced power and sensitivity A single-piston
rear caliper grips a 250mm petal-type disc. This compact caliper is
mounted below the swingarm, and located by a torque rod
Aluminum backbone frame is similar in concept to the Ninja
ZX-10Rs, and helps make the bike narrow and easy to grip with the
knees for maximum rider comfort and feedback The frame is
lightweight and highly rigid, and uses the engine as a stressed
member for solid handling and optimum stability Frame elements are
tuned to transmit optimal engine feedback to the rider The frame
uses four engine mounts, three of which are rigid, one of which
(the upper rear crankcase mount) is rubber NEW Compact subframe
design is more slender and shorter to match the new styling The
sub-frame is an example of form and function combined, negating the
need for side covers and allowing underseat narrowness for a
shorter reach to the ground
New SFF-BP fork combines the features of Showas big piston and
separate function forks, featuring springs on both sides, with
dedicated preload adjustability in the left tube and dedicated
damping pistons and adjustability in the right tube Big Piston
design provides smooth action during the initial part of the stroke
and contributes to excellent feel during heavy braking. The
large-diameter damper piston is much bigger than those used in
traditional cartridge forks Big Piston design allows the fork oil
to act on a much larger surface area, so the damping pressure can
be reduced without compromising effectiveness. Reducing the damping
pressure allows the slider to react more smoothly, which is
especially noticeable during the initial part of the stroke. The
result is greater control as the fork begins to compress and very
calm response during braking-induced weight-transfer, for greater
chassis stability on corner entry Fork settings were tuned to cope
with the extreme forces of aggressive use, while still providing a
comfortable ride SFF-BP design offers easy adjustability, by
locating all adjusters in the caps at the top of the two fork
tubes: preload on the left; compression and rebound damping on the
right.
Rear suspension design positions the shock unit and linkage
above the swingarm where its less exposed to exhaust heat and
contributes to mass centralization Stepless rebound damping
adjuster allows damping characteristics to be tuned to match
changes in spring preload and/or loads
NEW A fat solid-mount tubular aluminum handlebar contributes to
the Z1000s quality, top-shelf feel Double-taper grips, like those
used on supersport models, offer a more direct feel than
traditional designs NEW Intricately textured seat cover features a
distinct Z-logo pattern Ninja ZX-10R-style footpegs with knurled
surfaces offer good grip, direct feel and control, and purposeful
looks
NEW Extremely compact dual-element digital instrumentation keeps
the front of the motorcycle as compact and unobtrusive as possible,
making the bike almost disappear from the riders field of vision
NEW Dual element bar-graph tachometer with 0-4,000 rpm indicated
vertically along the left edge of the lower display and a larger
4,000rpm+ tachometer filling the entire horizontal upper display
NEW LCD functions include ABS and Economical Riding (ECO)
indicators Additional LCD functions include a unique digital
speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter, clock, instant and average
fuel consumption, coolant temperature, and low-fuel warning
lamps*Note: Specifications and pricing are subject to change.

Ninja zx-10rKawasaki Ninja ZX-10RThe Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R/ ZX
1000 E is a Kawasaki sport bike,[1] and the follow-up to the ZX-9R.
It was originally released in 2004 with minor revisions in 2005. It
combines an ultra-narrow chassis, low weight, and radial brakes. In
2004 and 2005 the ZX-10R won Best Superbike from Cycle World
magazine and the prestigious international Masterbike
competition.According to data published in 2007 by the Insurance
Institute of Highway Safety in the USA, the ZX-10R has the
country's highest collision damage loss claim rate of any
motorcycle registered between 2000 and 2006.[2]

linksEngine[edit]Kawasaki engineers utilized a "stack" design for a
liquid-cooled, 998cc inline four-cylinder engine. The crank axis,
input shaft and output shaft of the "Ninja" ZX-10R engine are
positioned in a triangular layout to reduce engine length, while
the high-speed generator is placed behind the cylinder bank to
reduce engine width. With a bore and stroke of 76mm 55mm (3.0in
2.2in), the ZX-10R engine's one-piece cylinder and crankcase
assembly reduces weight and increases rigidity. TheDOHCare machined
from chromoly steel built for strength, four valves per cylinder
improve high-rpm breathing, and the forged, lightweight pistons
offer high heat resistance to further enhance the
bike'spower-to-weight ratio.Cooling system[edit]In addition to
liquid cooling, the ZX-10R engine features an oil cooler adjacent
to the oil filter to reduce oil temperatures. "Slosh" analysis was
also used to design the internal structure of the oil pan, thereby
reducing windage losses and helping to maintain low oil
temperatures.Clutch[edit]A multi-plate wetslipper clutchtransfers
power to a six-speed, close-ratio transmission ideal for
closed-course competition. The back-torque limiter automatically
disengages the clutch (partially) under hard downshifting at high
engine speeds to prevent rear wheel hop during corner
entry.Wheels[edit]A new six spoke wheel design is claimed to be
almost as light as special purpose race wheels. Since the 2006
model the sidewall profile of the rear tire has been increased from
190/50/ZR17 to 190/55/ZR17.2004-2005 model[edit]This was the debut
of the Ninja ZX-10R. It was compact with a short wheelbase and a
high power-to-weight ratio, which helped the handling. The exhaust
system was fully titanium with single muffler.2006-2007
model[edit]Among other changes, the 2006 model featured twin
underseat exhausts which contributed to a 5kg (11lb) increase in
dry weight. The engine remained largely unchanged.The 2006
ZX1000D6F model carried over to the 2007 model year, with only
color scheme changes. The most noticeable difference between 2006
and 2007, is that the heat-shields on the exhaust pipes are black
on the 2007 ZX10R, and 2006 came with silver ones.2008
model[edit]
The 2007 ZX-10RThe ZX-10R was all new for its launch for the
2008 model year. There was a dramatic change in appearance with the
bike featuring a much more angular front end. Kawasaki moved away
from the twin-underseat exhausts of the 20062007 model to a more
conventional single side exhaust. The compression ratio of the
engine was raised.2009 model[edit]Received only slight changes from
the 2008 model.2010 model[edit]Received slight changes from the
2009 model, including, upgraded hlins steering damper, upgraded
transmission, and revised bodywork.[3]2011-2013 model[edit]The 2011
ZX-10R underwent major overhaul both mechanically and visually.
Most notably, Kawasaki introduced their S-KTRC (Sport Kawasaki
Traction Control) system as a standard feature; responsible for
predicting when traction will be lost and adapting accordingly.
Also new are KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent Braking System) as their
optional ABS system, a completely new design, adjustable foot-pegs,
larger throttle bodies, a horizontal rear suspension, lighter
three-spoke wheels,ShowaBig Piston Fork (BPF)[4]front suspension,
and an LCD panel dashboard.[5]The 2012 model is identical to the
2011 with the only exception being the slightly different paint
schemes offered. In 2013 the models went under another small
revision where the colors offered changed again and the front
dampener was replaced with an Ohlins electronic front steering
dampener.Specifications[edit]All specifications are manufacturer

With a distinctive look and a growl to match, the Kawasaki Ninja
1000 sportbike delivers a mix of power, handling, looks, technology
and rideability that is nearly impossible to beat. The brilliant
combination adds up to all-around performance that will have you
grinning inside your helmet for miles. This is one impressive
motorcycle, a bike that is equally at home carving through a twisty
backroad with the best of the sportbikes, or stretching its legs on
the freeway or during a long commute.

from idle to redline Easily accessible torque offers instant thrust
for maximum rider satisfaction Bore and stroke dimensions of 77.0 x
56.0mm offer an ideal balance of peak power and low- and mid-range
flexibility 38mm Keihin throttle bodies cram the air/fuel mixture
directly into combustion chambers via downdraft intakes for maximum
power Oval sub-throttles help keep the engine slim, and a slim
midsection allows an ideal bike/rider interface for maximum comfort
and control Engines rev limiter comes into play softly, providing
usable overrev character because power doesnt drop off suddenly at
high rpm The engines relatively low crankshaft position allows a
moderately long stroke without adding engine height A secondary
engine balancer, driven off a gear on the sixth web of the
crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration and contributes to rider
comfort
Intake system routes cool air to the airbox via ducts in the
fairing, minimizing performance loss due to heated intake air Duct
positioning close to the rider allows the intake howl to be heard
and enjoyed Airbox resonator reduces noise at low rpm and enhances
intake sound at higher revs
The exhaust system features a 4-into-2-pre-chamber-into-2
layout. Silencer end caps maintain the quad-style image Main and
pre-catalyzers ensure cleaner emissions Thanks to the under-engine
pre-chamber, silencer volume is reduced, and silencer weight is
low. Exhaust system offers excellent mass centralization and
contributes to a low center of gravity
Slim-type fuel pump features an integral fuel gauge Fuel tank
design and slim-type fuel pump minimizes dead volume inside the
tank; fuel capacity is 5.0 gallons
300mm front petal-type brake discs are gripped by opposed
four-piston radial-mount calipers. (Caliper piston size is 4x30mm)
A radial-pump front brake master cylinder contributes to the superb
control and feel offered by these high-end calipers The rear brake
is a single-piston, pin-slide caliper gripping a 250mm petal-type
disc. The caliper is mounted below the swingarm, and located by a
torque rod
Supersport-style full-fairing bodywork gives the Ninja 1000 a
distinctive, head-turning look, and also offers plenty of wind and
weather protection for short-tour ability The fairings slat-style
leading edges direct wind around the bike, allowing the fairing to
be narrower at the middle The fairing flares at the rear, keeping
hot engine air off the riders legs Front turn signals are
integrated into the fairing and are attached to the inside of the
fairing with rubber mounts that minimize damage if the bike falls
over ZX-6R-spec front fender contributes to excellent aerodynamics
and racy looks Slim and compact tail cowl moves mass physically and
visually toward the front of the bike LED taillight features red
bulbs and a red transparent lens Slim rear fender gives the bike a
light-looking rear end Windscreen is manually adjustable for
optimum wind/weather protection Windscreen has three available
positions spanning approximately 20 degrees and ranging from sporty
to maximum wind protection. Adjustment can be done by hand (no
tools required) by depressing the release button below the
instrument panel. Windscreen adjustment should always be done with
the bike stopped
Aluminum backbone frame is similar in concept to the Ninja
ZX-10Rs, and helps make the bike narrow and easy to grip with the
knees for maximum rider comfort and feedback The frame is
lightweight and highly rigid, and uses the engine as a stressed
member for solid handling and optimum stability Frame elements are
tuned to transmit optimal engine feedback to the rider The frames
five-piece construction consists of steering stem, left and right
main frames, and two cross pieces. The two main frame components
have open C-shaped cross sections Welds were eliminated wherever
possible for simplicity and appearance; the frame beams and
swingarm brackets are single die-cast pieces The frame uses four
engine mounts, three of which are rigid, one of which (the upper
rear crankcase mount) is rubber Rear subframe is a three-piece
aluminum die-casting assembly thats light, strong and optimizes
mass centralization The sub-frame is an example of form and
function combined, negating the need for side covers and allowing
underseat narrowness for a shorter reach to the ground
Rear suspension design positions the shock unit and linkage
above the swingarm where its less exposed to exhaust heat and
contributes to mass centralization Visible from the outside, the
horizontal monoshock contributes to the Ninja 1000s ultra-sporty
appearance Linkage characteristics are the same as those of a
standard Uni-Trak system: Wheel movement versus shock stroke is the
same ratio The shock features stepless rebound damping and spring
preload adjustability for a custom-tuned ride
The Ninja 1000s inverted fork is adjustable for compression
damping, rebound damping and spring preload and is protected from
harm by a cool-looking shroud Settings are designed for both sporty
performance and ride quality
Separate, raised handlebars contribute to the sporty,
comfortable riding position; bar stays are mounted to the fork tube
tops, which extend above the top clamp A thick urethane seat
provides a high level of rider and passenger comfort Tapered-type
grips, like those used on supersport models, offer a more direct
feel than traditional designs Ninja ZX-10R-style footpegs with
knurled surfaces offer secure grip, direct feel and control, and
no-nonsense looks The passenger footpeg brackets incorporate
convenient luggage hooks

10External links19981999[edit]Yamaha launched the YZF-R1 after
redesigning theGenesis engineto offset thecrankshaft, gearbox
input, and output shafts. This "compacting" of the engine made the
total engine length much shorter. This allowed thewheelbaseto be
shortened significantly, resulting in much quicker handling and an
optimizedcenter of gravity. The bike had a compression ratio of
11.8:1 with a six-speedtransmissionand multi-plate clutch.Early
models were subject to a worldwide recall for a clutch problem.
Yamaha today describes the launch of the R1 as the true value of
"Kando".[5][clarification needed]
2005 YZF-R1 instrumentationThe 1999 R1 saw only minor changes,
apart from paint and graphics. Notable improvements were a
redesigned gear change linkage and the gear change shaft length
being increased. Fuel tank reserve capacity was reduced from 5.5 to
4.0 litres (1.2 to 0.9impgal or 1.5 to 1.1USgal), while the total
fuel tank capacity was unchanged at 18l (4.0impgal; 4.8USgal). A
second worldwide recall was issued for 1998 and early 1999 models,
to change a coolant hose clamp under the fuel tank which could come
loose under hard use.Motorcycle Consumer Newstests of the 1998
model year YZF-R1 yielded a 0 to 60mph (0 to 97km/h) time of 2.96
seconds and 0 to 100mph (0 to 161km/h) of 5.93 seconds,
a14-mile(400m) time of 10.19 seconds at 131.40mph (211.47km/h), and
a top speed of 168mph (270km/h), with deceleration from 60 to 0mph
(97 to 0km/h) of 113.9ft (34.7m).[1]For the 1999 model year,Cycle
Worldtests found a 0 to 60mph time of 3.0 seconds,14-mile time of
10.31 seconds at 139.55mph (224.58km/h), and a top speed of 170mph
(270km/h).[6]20002001[edit]
2001 YZF-R1In 2000, Yamaha introduced a series of changes to
improve the bike, and minor changes to the bodywork to allow for
better long duration ride handling. Yamaha's main design goal was
to sharpen the pre-existing bike and not to redesign it. Even so,
they instituted over 150 changes in hopes of making an already
light, sleek motorcycle even lighter and sleeker. For example, even
with the addition of the newair induction system, which weighed
four pounds, the overall weight of the bike was down five pounds to
414 pounds (188kg) dry.[7]At 127.8 brake horsepower (95.3kW) at the
rear wheel,[7]top-end output remained the same, but changes to the
engine management system were intended to result in a smoother,
broader distribution of power. The bodywork was still unmistakably
R1, although a few changes were made resulting in a 3% reduction in
thedrag coefficient. The headlight housing's profile was sharpened,
the side panels were made more aerodynamic and slippery, and the
windscreen was reshaped for better rider protection.The seating
area was also updated. The fuel tank was reshaped, with a more
relaxed rear angle and deeper leg recesses to provide for a better
rider feel. The seat extended further towards the front of the tank
and the new, steeper, seating position put additional weight on the
front end. All of this was aimed at improving weight bias and
offering sharper cornering and more stability.Mechanically,
thecarburetorswere re-jetted in an effort to improve throttle
response, especially in the low end, all the way up to the bike's
11,750rpmredline. The redesigned camshafts were lightened and used
internal oil ways to lubricate journals that, when combined with
reducedtappetclearance, provided less friction and created less
engine noise. The gearbox received a taller first gear, a
hollowchrome-molyshift-shaftwith an additional bearing and a
completely redesigned shift linkage and foot pedal. These changes
were aimed at eliminating problems with the transmission in earlier
models, and to help to seamlessly transfer the bike's power to the
road.20022003[edit]
2002 YZF-R1 with aftermarket high-mount exhaustA newfuel
injectionsystem was introduced for the 2002 year, which worked like
a carburetor by employing a CV carburetor slide controlled by
vacuum created by the engine. With a similar power output to the
2000-2001 bike, the engine remained largely the same. One notable
improvement was the use of new cylinder sleeves of a high silicon
content alloy containing magnesium that minimized heat induced
distortion, reducing oil consumption. Also in 2002, Yamaha released
the newly developed "Deltabox III" frame,[8]which, with its hydro
formed construction, reduced the total number of frame welds. These
changes improved the frame's rigidity by 30%. The cooling system
was redesigned for better performance and compactness. The exhaust
system was changed from a 4-into-1 to a new titanium
4-into-2-into-1 design. The rear end of the motorcycle was updated
and streamlined with aLEDtaillight. This allowed for very clean
rear body lines when choosing one of several common after market
modifications, such as removal of the turn signal stalks and stock
license plate bracket; and replacing them with assorted available
replacements that "hug" the body or frame. Also, front end lighting
was improved in 2002, between the higher definition headlights and
also side "parking" lights within the twin-headlight panel, giving
a more angular appearance. This also gave additional after market
possibilities, such as to remove the front turn signals and utilize
these front lights as directional or hazard markers while stopped.
For 2003, the only change was fitted hazard warning lights and
dipped headlights, which stay on all the time the engine is
running.In 2002,Cycle Worldreported fuel mileage of 38 miles per US
gallon (6.2L/100km; 46mpg-imp), a 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to
97km/h) time of 2.9seconds, a14-mile (400m) time of 10.32seconds at
137.60 miles per hour (221.45km/h), and a top speed of 167 miles
per hour (269km/h).[9]20042005[edit]
2004 YZF-R1With the competition advancing, Yamaha made some
major changes to the model. This included style updates, like an
under seat twin exhaust, and performance upgrades including radial
brakes, and, for the first time an R1Ram-air intake. Furthermore,
the tendency forwheeliesby earlier productions was reduced by
changing the geometry of the frame and weight distribution. The
all-new engine was no longer used as a stressed member of the
chassis, and featured a separate topcrankcaseandcylinder block.The
2004 R1 weighs 172 kilograms (379lb) dry. The conventional
frontbrake caliperswere replaced by radially mounted calipers,
activated by a radial master cylinder. A factory-installed steering
damper was also added this year. Combined with the changes to the
frame, this helped to eliminate the tendency of the handlebars to
shake violently during rapid acceleration or deceleration on
less-than-perfect surfaces, a phenomenon known as aspeed wobbleor
tank slapper.
2006 YZF-R1Motorcycle Consumer Newstests of the 2004 model year
YZF-R1S yielded a 0 to 60mph (0 to 97km/h) time of 3.04seconds and
0 to 100mph (0 to 161km/h) of 5.42seconds, a quarter-mile time of
9.90seconds at 144.98mph (233.32km/h), and a top speed of 179mph
(288km/h).[1]2006[edit]For 2006, theswingarmwas extended by 20
millimetres (0.79in) to reduce acceleration instability. In this
year, Yamaha also released a limited edition version in original
Yamaha racing colors to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The model
(LE/SP) featured a Kenny Roberts front and rear
customhlinssuspension units developed by the same team as
theYZR-M1MotoGP bike. Custom forged aluminumMarchesiniwheels
specifically designed for the LE shaved nearly a pound off the
unsprung weight. A back torque-limitingslipper clutch, and an
integrated lap timer rounded out the package, making the LE
virtually a production racer. Only 500 units were made for the
United States with another 500 units for Europe.20072008[edit]
2007-2008 YZF-R1
2007 Yamaha YZF-R1 used byNoriyuki Hagain theSuperbike World
Championship.An all-new YZF-R1 for the 2007 model year was
announced on 8 October 2006. Key features included an all-new
inline four-cylinder engine, going back to a more conventional
four-valves per cylinder, rather than Yamaha's trade mark
five-valve Genesis layout. Other new features were the Yamaha Chip
Control Intake (YCC-I) electronic variable-lengthintake
funnelsystem, Yamaha Chip Control Throttle
(YCC-T)fly-by-wirethrottle system,slipper-type clutch, all-new
aluminum Deltabox frame and swingarm, six-piston radial-mount front
brake calipers with 310mm discs, a wider radiator, and M1 styling
on the new largeram-airports in the front fairing. There were no
major changes for 2008. Power was 152.9 horsepower (114.0kW) @
10,160rpm.[2]Motorcycle Consumer News tests of the 2007 model year
YZF-R1 yielded a 0 to 60mph (0 to 97km/h) time of 2.94seconds and 0
to 100mph (0 to 161km/h) of 5.46seconds, a mile time of 9.88seconds
at 145.50mph (234.16km/h).[1]20092013[edit]In late 2008, Yamaha
announced they would release an all new R1 for 2009. The new R1
takes engine technology from the M1 MotoGP bike with itscross plane
crankshaft. Crossplane technology puts each connecting rod 90 from
the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270- 180- 90- 180.
Yamaha claims the bike would give the rider 'two engines in one',
the low end torque of a twin and the pace of an inline four. As
with previous incarnations of the R1, the 2009 model keeps its
Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T).Another advancement
included on the 2009 model was D-Mode Throttle Control Valve
Mapping, which allows a rider to choose between three distinct maps
depending on the riders environment. Each mode of operation
controls YCC-T characteristics, changing how the R1 reacts to rider
input. The first mode is Standard Mode, which delivers performance
for a wide variety of driving conditions. The second mode is "A"
mode which will give a rider more available power in the lower to
mid RPM range. The third mode is "B" mode, which is a dial back of
the previous mode, designed to soften throttle response in
inclement weather and heavy traffic. D-Mode throttle control is
controlled by the rider through a forward mode button near the
throttle. The instrument panel is more comprehensive than previous
models, and the 2009/2010 Yamaha YZF-R1 model now features a gear
indicator as standard.Overall handling of the R1 was improved
through changes to frame and suspension. A new sub frame was
designed for the 2009 R1, cast from magnesium giving lower weight
aiding mass centralisation. The rear shock absorber on the 2009
offers variable speed damping, as well as an easy to tweak pre-load
via a screw adjustment. The rear shock now connects underneath the
swing arm through a different linkage; a change from previous
years' models. To improve overall handling and safety, Yamaha
included an electronic steering damper. The front has the same
classic R1 shape, though the air intake location and headlamp
design have been revamped on the 2009 model; utilizing only
projector lamps, and using the new-found design space within the
nose cone to reroute ram air tubes next to the lights.Testing the
2010 model year in the confines of
atri-ovalracetrack,Motorcyclistmagazine reported a14-mile (400m)
time of 10.02seconds @ 144.23mph (232.12km/h), and fuel consumption
of 25 miles per US gallon (9.4L/100km; 30mpg-imp).[10]Motorcycle

Motorcycles introduced in 199New Hero Karizma R and ZMR 2014 power
specifications ReleasedbyPrateek Joseon October 17, 201374
CommentsHero Motocorp has been making headlines consistently of
late and theyre not done yet. The power specs for the newly
revealed Hero Karizma R 2014 have been released. The bike now has a
max power of 19.2 bhp. This comes in the wake of a video being
released by Hero in promotion of the bike followed by the official
announcement.
The Karizma ZMR 2014The Karizma R 2014 has undergone a rather
thorough cosmetic overhaul. The fairing on the Karizma is basically
a low key version of the new ZMR fairing. Other changes to the
fairing include mounted ORVMs, R Premium Sports decals and a twin
headlamp arrangement. Similarities with precious versions include-
the suspension and wheels, fuel tank and a drum brake in the
rear.
The 2014 Karizma RThe Karizma ZMR on the other hand will have a
max power of 20 bhp and capable of producingpeak torque
of19.7Nm@6500 RPM.Hero has us believe that the bike is imbued with
raw power, but we know better than to take the PR teams word for
it. The TVC also claims that the bike can go from 0 to 60 kmph in
3.6 seconds. Whats worth a mention here is the fact that ZMR is
used to receiving plaudits for its performance in the low and mid
range. It seems that the facelift builds upon the strengths that
the bike is already known for.
View of the ZMRs fuel tankThe most exciting development in the
Hero stable has been that of its collaboration with American racing
bike manufacturer Eric Buell Racing. The new Karizma R and ZMR have
been inspired by Eric Buell Racings landmark EBR 1190. The news is
that the American company had a substantial role to play in the
design of the high end bikes coming out of the Hero stable.
However, with the bike having such a premier heritage, it was
expected that they would at least have a power spec of 24 bhp and
take the fight right up to the Duke 200 and the ZMRs arch nemesis-
the Pulsar 220. This is not the case and performance buffs are sure
to be left feeling a bit left down with the underwhelming specs of
the new bikes.
The ZMR and Karizma RThough the Karizma R and ZMR compete with
Bajajs Pulsar line, the bikes are quite in contrast to each other.
Bajaj has always put out naked or semi-faired bikes which
usecarburettors. On the other hand, the ZMR is a fully faired
vehicle which uses fuel injection technology. For a long period
now, Pulsars have been the ruling dynasty in the Indian bike
scenario. The bike has a devout following and they are only going
to multiply in numbers with the 180 NS ready to come out of the
works.

Models[edit]1190RR[edit]The first focus of Erik Buell Racing, the
1190RR was an upgraded and restyled version of theBuell 1125R. Used
for professional racing in several race classes, the bike has been
a part of several race and championship placings.[4]1190RS[edit]In
June 2011, Erik Buell Racing officially announced their first
street model, theEBR 1190RS, a sport motorcycle with a
1,190ccV-twin enginedelivering 175hp (130kW).[5]Released as a 2012

streetfighter version and an adventure version, based on the same
platform as the 1190RX.[8]Racing[edit]AMA Superbike[edit]Erik Buell

the 1190RR and then the 1190RS. EBR riders achieved several podium
finishes. Riders have included Geoff May, Danny Eslick, and Aaron

The 2012 1190 RS starts at $39,999, which is a bit more
expensive than the industry average for a member of the 1200cc
class of supersport bikes (the average price is $27,995). A
24-month factory warranty from Erik Buell Racing helps protect new
buyers.
2012 SUPERSPORT BIKE COMPETITOR PRICING
PerformanceEditRIDING DYNAMICSDry Weight389LBSPower to Weight
Ratio (Dry)2.2LBS PER HP
With a dry weight of 389 lbs, its weight is roughly what you'd
expect: the average 1200cc supersport bike has a dry weight of 389
lbs. The impressively low weight-to-power ratio makes this one of
the very fastest motorcycles sold in 2014.
ENGINEDisplacement1190ccCompression Ratio13.6:1
Power175HPEngine Speed @ Peak Power9,750RPM
Torque97FT-LBSEngine Speed @ Peak Torque9,400RPM
This bike is powered byaliquid-cooled 1190cc V-twin engine
that's capable of producing 175 horsepower at 9,750 rpm. Maximum
torque is 97.0 ft-lbs, occurring at 9,400 rpm. Fuel injection makes
for effortless cold starts and smooth power delivery. The 13.6:1
compression ratio is high enough to put it in thetop 10%of 2012
supersport bikes. A higher compression ratio is desirable because
it means an engine can do the same amount of work with less fuel,
leading to increased efficiency and power for a given engine size
(the only downside is that using low octane fuel can damage the
engine). A cylinder bore and stroke of 106 x 67.5mm makes this
motor oversquare: the bore (width) of the cylinder is greater than
its stroke (length). Oversquare engines excel at revving high and
producing a lot of power for their displacement, at the expense of
low-end torque.
DimensionsEditSeat Height30.5INCHES
A seat height of 30.5 inches is right in line with the class
average, accommodating a variety of rider heights.
