All-New Engine

• Liquid-cooled, OHC, 6-valve 1,043cc inline-four offers greater torque and a stronger top-end rush than previous Z1000 models
• Bore and stroke of 77.0 x 56.0 mm were chosen to achieve the desired engine character —strong in the everyday rpm range most used by naked super bikes
• 38mm downdraft throttle bodies allow intake air to travel to the engine in the shortest possible distance
• Oval sub-throttles help keep the engine slim — a good thing since the throttle bodies are positioned between the rider's knees
• Soft rev limiter provides good overrev; power doesn't drop off suddenly at high rpm
• Crankshaft and transmission shafts are arranged in a straight line instead of a triangular layout, o maintain the design from the previous Z1000 — a design that offers the best look for a naked model
• The crankshaft was lowered to allow for a longer stroke without adding engine height
• A secondary balancer, riven off a gear on the sixth web of the crankshaft, liminates excess vibration

Cool Air System

• The intake system routes cool air to the airbox from ducts above the radiator shrouds, inimizing performance loss due to heated intake air
• Positioning the ducts close to the rider allows the intake sound to be enjoyed by the rider
• A resonator inside the airbox reduces noise at low rpm, nd enhances intake sound at high rpm

Exhaust System

• 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 emissions are clean
• Thanks to the under-engine pre-chamber, ilencer volume could be reduced. The silencers are also lighter. Overall exhaust system weight is about the same, ut the new system offers much better mass centralization and contributes to a lower center of gravity

Fuel Pump

• Slim-type fuel pump features an integral fuel gauge
• With revised fuel tank design and the slim-type fuel pump, ead volume inside the tank is minimized; fuel capacity is 4.1 gallons

All-New Aluminum Backbone Frame

• An aluminum backbone frame designed specifically for the Z1000, nd similar in concept to the frame of the Ninja ZX-10R, llows a narrow construction that is easy to grip with the knees
• Lightweight and highly rigid, he frame uses the engine as a stressed member, or a firm, lanted feeling and enhanced stability
• Frame is tuned to transmit the ideal level of engine feedback directly to the rider
• The frame's five-piece construction consists of steering stem, eft and right main frames, nd two cross pieces. The two main frame components have open C-shaped cross sections
• As much as possible, elds were eliminated for simplicity and appearance. The frame beams and swingarm brackets are now single die-cast pieces
• The new frame uses four engine mounts; three mounts are rigid, he upper rear crankcase mount is rubber
• The rear sub-frame is a three-piece aluminum die-casting construction, ight, trong and good for mass centralization
• The sub-frame is an example of form and function combined, egating the need for side covers and allowing underseat narrowness for a shorter reach to the ground

All-New Horizontal Rear Monoshock

• New rear suspension positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm where it's less exposed to exhaust heat and contributes to mass centralization
• Visible from the outside, he horizontal monoshock contributes to the aggressive appearance of the new Z1000
• Linkage characteristics are the same as those of a standard UNI-TRAK rear suspension: Wheel movement versus shock stroke is the same ratio
• The shock features rebound damping and spring preload adjustability

Fully Adjustable Front Fork

• The Z1000's 41mm inverted fork is adjustable for compression damping, ebound damping and spring preload — and it's protected from harm by a cool-looking shroud
• Settings are designed for both sporty back road performance and excellent comfort on the street

Handlebar, rips and Footpegs

• The tubular handlebar is rigid-mounted, ontributing to sharp, irect handling

Brakes

• The Z1000's 300mm front petal brake discs are gripped by opposed four-piston radial-mount calipers. (Caliper piston size is 4x30 mm)
• A radial-pump front brake master cylinder contributes to the superb control and feel offered by the new calipers
• The rear brake is a single piston, in-slide caliper gripping a 250mm petal disc. The caliper is mounted below the swingarm, nd located by a torque rod

Instrumentation

• A distinctive tilting instrument panel with multifunction LCD display behind an orange lens covers all systems
