Using high-precision electronic control for engine management, Kawasaki models can achieve a high level of fuel efficiency. However, fuel consumption is greatly affected by throttle use, gear selection, and other elements under the rider's control. The Economical Riding Indicator is a function that indicates when current riding conditions are consuming a low amount of fuel. The system continuously monitors fuel consumption, regardless of vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position and other riding conditions. When fuel consumption is low for a given speed (i.e. fuel efficiency is high), an "ECO" mark appears on the instrument panel's LCD screen. By riding so that the "ECO" mark remains on, fuel consumption can be reduced.
While effective vehicle speed and engine speed may vary by model, paying attention to conditions that cause the "ECO" mark to appear can help riders improve their fuel efficiency – a handy way to increase cruising range. Further, keeping fuel consumption low also helps minimize negative impact on the environment.
Economical Riding Indicator
Electronic Cruise Control allows a desired speed (engine rpm) to be maintained with the simple press of a button. Once activated, the rider does not have to constantly apply the throttle. This reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.
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.
Electronic Throttle Valves
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.
Power Modes
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.
