2020 NINJA 1000SX

IN-LINE FOUR CYLINDER

Powerful 1,043cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-line Four engine pulls strongly from all rpm and does not let up before the redline. The engine delivers superb response, a strong mid-range hit and an intoxicating intake howl. In addition to cleaner emissions for 2020, a change to Electronic Throttle Valves enables the addition of Electronic Cruise Control.

BRIDGESTONE TYRES

BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S22 tyres contribute to lighter handling, while offering enhanced grip in both dry and wet conditions, which translates to greater rider confidence and enjoyment.

QUICK SHIFTER

The Ninja 1000SX is fitted with the KQS – Kawasaki Quick Shifter – system. The quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and quick and easy deceleration.

EVERYDAY PERFORMANCE

WIND PROTECTION

Wind protection afforded by the full-fairing bodywork is complemented by a new windshield with four available positions.The windshield is adjustable by hand (without tools).

COMFORTABLE SEAT

CRUISE CONTROL

Kawasaki’s electronic cruise control system allows a speed to be maintained with the 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 all day and through restricted speed zones.

ACCESSORIES

The Ninja 1000SX is built for touring performance. To bring out the full potential there are Kawasaki genuine accessories available: panniers (28 litres), top case (47 litres), multiple seat options, large windshield, grip heaters, USB-type DC outlet, and more. Talk to you Kawasaki Dealer.

ADVANCED ELECTRONICS

Kawasaki’s latest IMU-enhanced electronics package, the Ninja 1000SX is equipped with integrated Riding Modes, new 4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation, and smartphone connectivity.

The Ninja 1000SX has all of the equipment expected in a Sport and Touring motorcycle, including smartphone connectivity through Ridelogy The App.

KCMF (KAWASAKI CORNERING MANAGEMENT FUNCTION)

A compact Bosch IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that gives a real-time picture of chassis orientation. KCMF monitors engine and chassis parameters throughout the corner – from entry, through the apex, to corner exit – modulating brake force and engine power to facilitate smooth transition from acceleration to braking. Assisting riders to stay on line.

COMFORTABLE ERGONOMICS

The Ninja 1000’s relaxed riding position was designed to accommodate everything from city riding to touring to sport riding. The handlebar stays are mounted to the fork tube tops, which extend above the upper triple clamp. 5-way adjustable clutch and brake levers can be set to suit the size of the rider’s hands.. Mirrors have a greater range of movement and field of vision.

KIBS (KAWASAKI INTELLIGENT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM)

Kawasaki’s supersport-grade high-precision brake management system take into account the particular handling characteristics of supersport motorcycles, ensuring highly efficient braking with minimal intrusion during sport riding. KIBS also incorporates corner braking control, modulating brake force to counter the tendency of the bike to stand up when braking mid-corner.

POWER MODES

ASSIST AND SLIPPER CLUTCH

The clutch uses two types of cams (an assist cam and a slipper cam), offering two functions not available on a standard clutch. When the engine is operating at normal rpm the assist cam functions as a self-servo mechanism, pulling the clutch hub and operating plate together to compress the clutch plates. Resulting in a light clutch lever pull.

TFT INSTRUMENTATION

CONNECT A SMARTPHONE

A Bluetooth chip built into the instrument panel enables riders to connect a smartphone to the motorcycle. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP,” a number of functions can be accessed; Vehicle Information, Riding Log, Telephone, Rider Management Modes.
Note: While RIDEOLOGY THE APP needs to be ON & running in the background to be connected to the bike. Do not use while riding.

THROTTLE VALVES

Electronic Throttle Valves (ETV) enable the ECU to control the volume of fuel (via fuel injectors) and 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.

SINGLE-SIDED MUFFLER

All-new exhaust system has a 4-into-2-into pre-chamber-into-1 arrangement, contributing to the Ninja 1000SX’s enhanced sporty looks. The single-sided muffler arrangement saves approximately 2 kg in weight (compared to the previous Ninja 1000).

FRONT SUSPENSION

REAR SUSPENSION
