Engine and Exhaust

Simple, Uncluttered Engine Design

With a naked bike, the engine is an important styling element, and with its simple, uncluttered design the engine adds to the Z900RS’ presence.

Carefully Considered Exhaust Shape, Construction, Material and Finish
When designing the exhaust system over 20 variations were considered before arriving at the final design, one that emphasises the presence of the In-Line Four engine.

ERGO FIT

2 seats 1 style

To accommodate every rider Kawasaki offers an Ergo Fit accessory seat which reduces the seat height 35mm. Drag the slider to see the difference.

The stylish two-tone seats use different materials for the top and sides to create a high-quality design. Double-stitching adds to the high-quality image.

Drag

Standard Seat

Stepped seat offers a wide seating area for good ride comfort for both rider and passenger. The seat is slimmer at the front, facilitating the rider’s reach to the ground.

Ergo Fit

An accessory ERGOFIT low seat reduces the seat height 35 mm, offering an easier reach to the ground.

Power

Strong, Smooth In-Line Four Engine

Like the Z1, the Z900RS features a 948cc-class In-Line Four – an engine configuration that inherently offers a great balance of power and manageability. Tuning focuses on the low-mid range. Revs build in a measured, but very determined manner, giving the rider a sense of connectedness between the throttle and rear wheel.

KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control)

Contributing to rider reassurance, the Z900RS is equipped with advanced Kawasaki rider support technology. KTRC features two modes that cover a wide range of riding conditions, offering either enhanced sport riding performance or the peace of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence. Riders may also elect to turn the system off.

Assist & Slipper Clutch

Race-inspired clutch technology offers both a much lighter feel at the lever, as well as a back-torque limiting function that helps prevent rear-wheel hop when downshifting.

Stopping power

Radial-Mount Front Brakes

At the front, ø300 mm brake discs (effective diameter: ø267 mm) are gripped by opposed 4-piston radial-mount monobloc calipers.

The monobloc front brake calipers offer a firm initial touch, the level of brake force is very easy to control, and overall brake performance is superb.The machined monobloc calipers feature an alumite coating and are laser-etched with a Kawasaki logo, adding to the bike’s high-quality sporty looks.

Radial-pump

Radial-pump front brake master cylinder also contributes to the superb control and feel offered by the calipers. For added braking reassurance, ABS is a standard feature on the Z900RS.

Frame and Suspension

Lightweight Trellis Frame

Complementing a light overall weight (noticeable as soon as the bike is lifted off its side-stand), frame rigidity and chassis geometry tuning were selected to deliver light, natural handling. Like the engine, the chassis responds to rider input predictably, going where the rider wants it to without resistance. In keeping with its retro sport model character, the Z900RS’ stance is less forward-leaning than the Z900.

Sound

Kawasaki’s First Tuned Exhaust Note

While Kawasaki In-Line Four engines are historically renowned for their great-sounding exhausts, this the first time that Kawasaki has conducted sound research to craft a model’s ideal exhaust note. Designed to elicit rider response, the sound tuning focused on the engine’s initial roar to life, idling and low-speed riding where the rider is best able to enjoy the exhaust’s deep rumble.
