Kawasaki’s fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of both the fuel (via fuel injectors) and the air (via throttle valves) delivered to the engine. Ideal fuel injection and throttle valve position results in smooth, natural engine response and the ideal engine output. The system also makes a significant contribution to reduced emissions.

Electronic throttle valves also enable more precise control of electronic engine management systems like S-KTRC and KTRC, and allow the implementation of electronic systems like KLCM, Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, and Electronic Cruise Control.

Models equipped with multiple Power Modes offer riders an easily selectable choice of engine power delivery to suit riding conditions or preference. In addition to Full Power mode, one (Low) or two (Middle, Low) alternate mode(s) in which maximum power is limited and throttle response is milder are provided.

RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS allows off-road 4-wheeler and personal watercraft users to connect with their machines and with each other for a new and fun kind of interaction. The smartphone app offers features tailored to off-road 4-wheelers and personal watercraft, with a user interface designed to be straightforward and easy to use. Vehicle Information and Trip Logs can be managed through the app. Before the ride, users can use the app to check vehicle information to make sure the vehicle is ready to go. During the ride they can see where group members are on the map via the new Group Ride feature. Once the ride is done, users can relive their excursions via Trip Logs, share them with friends, and find new friends who share their interests and/or frequent the same places, making riding more fun than ever before. With RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS, users can expand their horizons, reach out and connect with friends existing and new, and through new features aimed at having fun, they can enjoy their powersports lifestyle on an even wider scale. While RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS needs to be ON (running in the background) to be connected to the vehicle, it was not intended to be operated while on board. User interaction with the app should be limited to when the vehicle is not being operated and it is safe to do so.

Clever technology enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience. Vehicle information (such as the odometer, fuel gauge, maintenance schedule, etc) can be viewed on the smartphone. Riding logs (varies by model, but may include GPS route, gear position, rpm, and other information) can be viewed on the smartphone. When connected, telephone (call, mail) notices are displayed on the instrument panel. Riders can also make changes to their motorcycle’s instrument display settings (preferred units, clock and date setting, etc) via the smartphone. And on certain models, it is even possible to check and adjust vehicle settings (such as Rider Mode, electronic rider support features, and payload settings) using the smartphone.

Drawing on the know-how and technology possessed by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI), Kawasaki’s supercharged engine delivers high engine output while maintaining a compact design. The key to achieving this incredible performance lies in the engine’s supercharger – a motorcycle-specific unit designed completely in-house with technology from the Kawasaki Gas Turbine & Machinery Company, Aerospace Company and Corporate Technology Division.

One of the greatest benefits of designing the supercharger in-house and tailoring its design to match the engine’s characteristics was that engineers were able to achieve high-efficiency operation over a wide range of conditions – something that would not have been possible by simply dropping in or trying to adapt an aftermarket automotive supercharger.

The importance of high efficiency in a supercharger is that, as the air is compressed, power-robbing heat gain is minimal. And while many superchargers are able to offer high-efficiency operation in a very limited range of conditions, the Kawasaki supercharger offers high efficiency over a wide range of pressure ratios and flow rates – meaning over a wide range of engine speeds and vehicle speeds. This wide range of efficient operation (similar to having a wide power band) easily translates to strong acceleration. The supercharger’s high efficiency and minimal heat gain also meant that an intercooler was unnecessary, greatly saving weight and space, and enabling the engine’s compact design.

Proper fit is key for driver comfort and control. However, the ideal fit varies from driver to driver, depending on their physical dimensions and driving style.

ERGO-FIT® is an interface system designed to allow drivers to find their ideal driving position. Various points of the vehicle chassis can be adjusted through parts with adjustable positions. This enables a wide range of drivers to find a driving position that offers both comfort and control. Feeling at one with their machine, they will be able to experience how Kawasaki machines are fun and rewarding to drive.

*Adjustable parts and their range of adjustability vary by model.
