Of course Kawasaki did not send us more pictures, but they will come soon.

One thing is sure about the new 10-R, Kawasaki made it even more radical, even under the fairings.
It is ready to race like they like to say. A track weapon, the big tool according to Kawasaki.
The main feature is of course the traction control like Torque manager.
Plus a chassis completly redesigned and a new global geometry, this ZX 10-R 2008 is also like you could saw, fully relloked. A whole new bike.

Key Features

* Race-Ready Engine
* Track-Tuned Handling
* Advanced Digital Ignition with Torque Management
* Compact Package with Massive Presence
* Aggressive Aerodynamic Styling

Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine

* Very compact, narrow and lightweight design
* One-piece upper crankcase and cylinder casting saves more than two pounds and offers increased rigidity
* Channels in the case route oil to various parts of the engine, eliminating oil lines and saving weight
* About two pounds cut from the engine with a lighter crankshaft that maintains the same inertial moment
* Oil pump reduction ratio refined for lower friction
* Lightweight Denso radiator with tightly packed cores
* Reshaped intake ports, exhaust ports and combustion chambers improve flow efficiency and top-end power
* Exhaust ports are narrower at the midpoint and larger at the opening
* Exhaust valves reduced in diameter from 25.5 to 24.5mm
* Cam profiles feature higher lift to deliver more power at high rpm and make it easier to tune the engine for racing

Fuel Injection

* New secondary injectors improve top-end power output and power characteristics
* Oval cross-sectioned throttle bodies replace the earlier round units, improve throttle response and allow more precise throttle control
* Compact flat-type fuel pump from the ’07 ZX-6R takes up less fuel tank space and permits the same tank volume despite the additional space required for the secondary injectors

Air intake

* Ram air intake duct was reshaped to reduce intake noise and further improve intake efficiency
* New larger airbox with improved accessibility and ease of maintenance
* New oval shaped velocity stacks deliver improved flow efficiency

Ignition

* Advanced ignition management system helps curtail sudden spikes in engine speed, enhancing the rider’s control of torque delivery
* Sophisticated ECU logic based on extensive rider testing
* Monitors throttle position, gear position and rate of RPM change, then adjusts ignition advance to help regulate torque production

Exhaust system

* New exhaust system features a pre-chamber under the engine to reduce exhaust noise, and minimize silencer volume
* Palladium catalyzer ensures the ZX-10R meets Euro-III exhaust emissions standards
* Single orthogonal, titanium silencer, along with the pre-chamber, lowers the bike’s center of gravity and improves exhaust efficiency

Six-Speed Transmission

* Lower 1st, 4th and 5th gear ratios to suit the new power characteristics, giving improved power feel in the low and high-rpm ranges
* Harder acceleration with an one tooth larger rear sprocket - final reduction ratio of 17/41

Chassis

* Optimized stiffness balance of the unique twin-spar frame achieved by reshaping the frame’s pressed parts, replacing concave pieces with convex pieces to alleviate stress concentrations
* Wall thickness around the swingarm pivot was changed to increase rigidity
* Ribbing added on the interior of the pivot plate where it joins the frame’s upper cross member to slightly slow down the frame feedback for a more accurate feel
* Steering tube moved 10mm forward and length changed
* Relocated swingarm pivot for a slight front-rear weight balance change

Sub-frame

* Two-piece, aluminum die-casting with lightweight construction
* New narrow sub-frame layout contributes to the compact and slim rear of the bike
* Mounted to the frame’s upper cross member, so rear suspension feedback is transmitted more directly to the rider

Swingarm

* Pressed beam swingarm delivers a level of feel and feedback unobtainable with a cast swingarm
* New swingarm features a top-mounted stabilizer that contributes to the superb high-speed stability of the new chassis

Suspension

* DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) fork tube coating on the fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork improves fork action with less friction, smoother action and better road holding
* Bottom mounted springs completely submerged in oil, offer reduced frothing and improving damping performance, fork action and road-following ability
* New mounting location for the Uni-Trak® rear suspension linkage
* Fully adjustable shock now features dual (low- and high-speed) compression damping, providing the fine-tuning needed for racing

Brakes

* New Tokico radial mount brake calipers fitted with dual pads for superb initial bite, increased control and a progressive feel
* New 310mm petal discs with a 5.5mm disc thickness provide better heat dispersion so the brake feel remains constant and responsive during extended periods of heavy use
* 220mm rear petal disc is gripped by a single-piston caliper

Wheels

* New lighter yet stiffer squeeze-cast wheels feature more precise dimensions with less wall thickness than the previous gravity-cast units

Ergonomics

* Redesigned rear frame, tank and seat offer increased contact with the bike and provide the rider very accurate feedback regarding chassis performance and road surface
* More flared around its top, the new tank makes it easier for the rider to rest the inside of their arm on the tank when leaning into a turn
* New seat is narrower in the front and shorter, front to back, for a slimmer riding position, a shorter reach to the pavement and excellent feedback from the chassis
* Special rib on the end of new throttle under the grip rubber improves grip and feel

Aerodynamic Bodywork

* Top of the front cowl is shorter but has a slight step at the front to reduce wind blast on the rider’s shoulders and generates a laminar flow around the rider’s helmet for less turbulence at higher speeds
* New front fender increases cooling efficiency by directing air toward the radiator
* Recess added to the top of the fuel tank to accommodate the helmet’s chin so it’s easier to tuck in behind the new, flatter windscreen
* Smaller fairing sides reduce the influence of side winds on the bike
* Redesigned mirrors with integrated turn signals and Talbot-type reflecting surfaces are easily removable, for easy track riding prep
* High mounting position of mirrors provides excellent rearward visibility and helps to minimize damage if the bike falls over
* Flush-surface of the tail’s underside reduces turbulence at the rear of the bike and ensures laminar airflow around the seat
* Larger rear inner fender keeps the bike cleaner and allows the mud flap to be smaller and less obtrusive, further improving aerodynamic qualities around the rear of the machine
* New license plate holder and rear turn signals are quickly detachable for racing
* New LED tail light makes the bike more visible to motorists and provides the final styling flourish to the evocative Ninja design

Race-quality steering damper

* Adjustable Öhlins steering damper with relief valve and twin-tube design, developed specifically for the Ninja ZX-10R is fitted as standard equipment to ensure stable damping performance even under racing conditions

Advanced Electronic Instrumentation

* Instrument cluster uses UV-blocking glass, so the LED displays are brighter and easier to read
* Multifunction odometer, tripmeter, clock and lap timer/stopwatch

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
