Kawasaki Parts

1,352cc Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine – Tuned to provide smooth power across a very wide rev range, while producing impressive horsepower numbers

1,352cc Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine – Chrome composite plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and quickly carry heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for supreme durability at high power outputs

1,352cc Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine – Carefully planned engine design is compact and narrow

1,352cc Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine – Low mechanical noise via special piston profile and urethane insulation sheet on the inside of the magnesium chain cover-

Exhaust – Airflow into the exhaust from the large secondary air ports in the cylinder head and head cover, plus a third honeycomb catalyzer in the collector help meet strict Euro III emissions standards

Exhaust – Internal silencer construction minimizes impact of emissions regulations while maintaining impressive top-end power

Exhaust – Exhaust connecting tube entrances are designed to enhance low rpm torque characteristics

Gear-Driven Dual Engine Balancers – Already in perfect primary balance, dual secondary balancers virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth engine operation and reduced rider fatigue

Ram Air Induction – Central ram air duct draws the cooler, higher-pressure air from the face of the fairing and efficiently guides it through the air cleaner and into the engine for maximum power output

Digital Fuel Injection – 44mm Mikuni throttle bodies are fitted with sub-throttle valves, controlled by the ECU to provide precise response, make DFI® performance smoother, and help meet Euro III emission requirements

Digital Fuel Injection – Intake porting optimizes flow characteristics

Digital Fuel Injection – Injectors deliver lateral spray at a 20 degree angle to disperse the finely-atomized fuel over a wider area

Digital Fuel Injection – Fine-atomizing injectors produce 75µ droplet size

Digital Fuel Injection – 32-bit ECU works with dual throttle valve system to further enhance throttle response and control

Digital Ignition – Digital Timing Advance enhances low-and mid-range power

Digital Ignition – Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the four sparkplugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder at that instant

Digital Ignition – ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-up

Radial Pump Clutch Master Cylinder – Hydraulic clutch features a radial-pump clutch master cylinder for smooth and precise clutch engagement and feel

Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame – Lightweight, monocoque frame is a hollow aluminum box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swing arm pivot. It is narrow, strong, rigid and very light

Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame – Frame’s cast aluminum sections – steering head and swing arm pivot areas – are produced with a die casting process for further weight savings

Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame – Rigidly mounted engine is a stressed frame member, which increases the frame’s torsional rigidity and saves approximately four pounds

Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame – Engine positioned forward in the frame, with the wheelbase and front/rear weight balance carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive handling

Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame – Massive head pipe casting contributes to frame rigidity

Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame – Frame houses the air box and air filter in a space-saving design that simplifies air cleaner maintenance

Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame – Battery is also housed within the frame and has simple access through the back side of the frame

Suspension – Inverted 43mm cartridge type front fork utilizes damping rates that offer stiff initial action to resist front-end dive when braking

Suspension – Stepless damping adjustment improves suspension performance

Suspension – Excellent control and feedback from fully adjustable bottom-link Uni-Trak® rear suspension

Suspension – Linkage rates provide linear suspension action

Suspension – Bottom-link design concentrates helps create a lower center of gravity, which makes the motorcycle more nimble

Suspension – Wheel rim center ribs are slightly offset so tire balance weights can be located precisely along the wheel’s centerline

Radial Mounted Petal Front Disc Brakes – Radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers offer greater rigidity than traditional caliper mounting, to improve brake feel

Radial Mounted Petal Front Disc Brakes – A separate brake pad is used for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming, so they maintain a consistent brake feel longer

Radial Mounted Petal Front Disc Brakes – Petal design brake discs provide better cooling and warp resistance

Radial Mounted Petal Front Disc Brakes – Radial-pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and lever feel

Wind Tunnel-Designed Bodywork – Monocoque frame goes over the engine so the sleek fairing is uninterrupted by protruding frame spars, adding to the extremely long and low styling

Wind Tunnel-Designed Bodywork – Both the front and rear turn signals are integrated into the bodywork and have clear lenses to enhance the appearance

Wind Tunnel-Designed Bodywork – Quadruple projector beam headlights give the ZX-14 a distinctive front fairing. The outer lights contain position lamps and the high beams, while the low beams are in the center lamps

Wind Tunnel-Designed Bodywork – Lightweight Denso radiator with high-density cores provides maximum cooling efficiency

Full Instrumentation – White faced dual analog speedometer and tachometer are easy to read

Full Instrumentation – Multi-function LCD digital display includes an odometer, two trip meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator and a clock

Full Instrumentation – Programmable shift indicator lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal rider upshift

Full Instrumentation – Programmable clutch engagement lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal the rider to engage the clutch

Full Instrumentation – Controller Area Network (CAN) interface between the gauges uses fewer wires yet allows a greater volume of information, such as estimated fuel mileage, to be exchanged
