Kawasaki Z1100 Manual

Sugomi describes the fundamental concept behind the design and riding sensation of Z Supernakeds first introduced on the 2014 Z1000. This design ethos has been passed to subsequent Z models. The new Z1100, as example, includes fierce looking LED headlights and a new undercowl shape with fins adding to the aggressive Z Sugomi image. For the Z1100 models, a highly rigid aluminium twintube frame, SFFBP forks and horizontal backlink suspension are at the core of both machines, while, in addition monobloc calipers are paired with large 310 mm brake discs on the Z1100 to create a sharp, direct response to rider inputs, making every twist of the throttle a visceral experience. The SE model of Z1100 features Brembo brakes with radialmount monobloc calipers and Brembo discs plus steel braided brake lines and an hlins S46 rear shock absorber providing a plush feel and tuning via the remote preload adjuster.The rider view on both machines is dominated by the 5 alldigital TFT colour instrumentation that also features turn by turn navigation and integrated Smartphone connectivity facilitating functions via Kawasakis Rideology the App Motorcycle including voice command technology. Electronic rider aids abound on the Z1100 and Z1100 SE. New Electronic Throttle Valves (ETV) deliver more precise and responsive engine control, enabling cruise control plus the latest dualdirection KQS quick shifter. An IMU with 6 DOF (degrees of freedom) facilitates other rider support technology such as KCMF Cornering Management, KTRC Traction Control, KIBS Integrated Braking, selectable Power Modes plus Integrated Riding Modes that include Sport, Road, Rain, Rider (Manual) At the heart of these new Z machines is a powerhouse 1,099 cm3 inline fourcylinder 100.0 kW 136 PS engine with optimised intake ports utilising increased displacement for better LowMid Range response delivering a maximum of 11.5 kg??m of torque while achieving impressive fuel economy. Camshaft profiles, valve springs and even pistons have all been revised and each final gear ratio has been optimised with 5th and 6th gears even longer than previous litre class Z models. The flywheel mass is greater allied to a 3 mm longer stroke than the previous Z1000 model. From mid to highrpm, riders will enjoy the strong performance and sharp throttle response characteristic of a Z family member. The exhaust system has a 421into prechamberinto1
