Technology

Economical Riding Indicator

High levels of fuel efficiency are achievable by Kawasaki models with the use of high-precision electronic control for engine management. However, the rider’s choice of gear, throttle, and other factors significantly impact fuel usage. One feature that shows when the riding conditions are economical with fuel use is the Economical Riding Indicator. Regardless of the car’s speed, the engine speed, the location of the throttle, or any other riding parameters, the system continuously tracks the amount of fuel used. An “ECO” symbol appears on the LCD screen of the instrument panel when fuel efficiency is good, or when fuel consumption is low for a certain speed. Fuel usage can be decreased by cycling such that the “ECO” mark stays on.

ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL

With just a button push, Electronic Cruise Control lets you maintain a specific speed (engine rpm). The rider does not need to continuously use the throttle once it is activated. This makes long-distance driving less taxing on the right hand, allowing for comfortable cruising and excellent riding comfort.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE VALVES

Thanks to Kawasaki’s fully electronic throttle actuation system, the engine’s air and fuel delivery volumes may be adjusted by the ECU via throttle valves and fuel injectors, respectively. The optimal engine output and a smooth, natural engine response are the outcomes of proper fuel injection and throttle valve positioning. Additionally, the system contributes significantly to lower emissions. Electronic throttle valves also make it possible to deploy electronic systems like KLCM, Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, and Electronic Cruise Control, as well as more accurate control of electronic engine management systems like S-KTRC and KTRC.

KAWASAKI ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL

Riders can choose their own level of engine braking with the Kawasaki Engine Brake Control system. Riding on the track causes less interference because the engine braking impact is lessened when the system is engaged.

KLCM (KAWASAKI LAUNCH CONTROL MODE)

Designed to reduce wheel spin when accelerating off of a stop, KLCM electronically controls engine output to help riders. The rider holds the throttle open while the engine speed is regulated to a preset limit after the clutch lever is pulled in and the system is turned on. The engine speed is permitted to grow once the rider releases the clutch lever to engage the clutch, but power is controlled to reduce wheel spin and assist in keeping the front wheel on the ground. When the rider moves into third gear or reaches a predefined speed, the device automatically disengages. Riders can select from a variety of settings, each delivering a progressively higher level of intrusion, depending on the model.

KCMF (KAWASAKI CORNERING MANAGEMENT FUNCTION)

KCMF monitors engine and chassis parameters throughout the corner, from entry through the apex to corner exit, using the most recent iteration of Kawasaki’s sophisticated modeling software and feedback from a compact IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that provides an even clearer real-time picture of chassis orientation. It does this by modulating brake force and engine power to facilitate a smooth transition from acceleration to braking and back again, as well as to help riders trace their intended line through the corner. Depending on the model, the systems under KCMF’s supervision may comprise:

• S-KTRC/KTRC (including traction management and wheel lift management)
  KLCM (including traction management and wheel lift management) – Designed to optimize acceleration from a stop
  KIBS (including pitching management and corner braking management)
  Kawasaki Engine Brake Control

KQS (KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER)

With the throttle completely open, KQS identifies when the shift lever has been engaged and sends a signal to the ECU to cut ignition, allowing the next gear to be engaged without using the clutch. This feature helps riders maximize their acceleration on the track. For models with clutchless downshifting, the technology automatically regulates engine speed while deceleration, allowing the user to choose the next lower gear without engaging the clutch.

Power Modes

Models with many power modes give riders a simple way to choose how much engine power to distribute according to their riding circumstances. Choose between one (Low) and two (Middle, Low) modes, which offer a softer throttle response and limit the maximum power, in addition to the Full Power mode.

S-KTRC (SPORT-KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL)

Kawasaki’s first predictive traction control system, known as S-KTRC, is based on the same core technology as their works machines. Its purpose is to optimize acceleration, enabling you to ride on the limit of traction on the track. To provide ideal acceleration, this system continuously regulates the rear wheel slip that happens when power is applied. Generally speaking, a certain amount of slip is needed for the maximum forward drive. S-KTRC controls engine power delivery to maximize rear wheel traction and continuously measures the slip ratio to guarantee the best possible power transfer to the pavement.

SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY

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.

ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM)

Wheel sensors in the front and rear are used by Kawasaki ABS systems to continuously measure wheel speed. In the event that data from either sensor suggests that wheel lock has happened, the ABS ECU instructs the ABS unit’s pump to regulate braking fluid pressure, releasing and reapplying pressure as needed to restore traction until normal operation is restored. ABS provides riders with confidence, which enhances their enjoyment of the ride.

HORIZONTAL BACK-LINK REAR SUSPENSION

With Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension, the shock unit is nearly horizontal as opposed to the vertically mounted Uni-Trak® rear suspension found on Kawasaki models. Mass centralization is substantially aided by the original Kawasaki suspension setup, which places the shock unit extremely near to the bike’s centre of gravity. Additionally, the absence of a shock unit or linkage behind the swingarm makes room for a larger exhaust pre-chamber, which is an exhaust expansion chamber located directly upstream of the silencer. Greater mass centralization can be achieved by reducing silencer volume and concentrating heavier exhaust components closer to the bike’s center of gravity with a larger pre-chamber.

IMU-ENHANCED CHASSIS ORIENTATION AWARENESS

Kawasaki’s advanced electronics have always been strong points thanks to their extremely complex programming, which requires very little hardware to provide the ECU with a precise real-time image of what the chassis is doing. In order to analyze changes in various parameters and account for shifting road and tire conditions, Kawasaki’s own dynamic modeling tool cleverly applies the magic formula tire model. One way to monitor inertia along six degrees of freedom (DOF) is to add an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). Measured acceleration occurs along the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes in addition to roll and pitch rates.

KIBS (KAWASAKI INTELLIGENT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM)

Kawasaki created KIBS to ensure extremely effective braking with the least amount of interference during sports riding by taking into consideration the unique handling characteristics of supersport motorcycles. It is the first brake system in mass production that connects the engine ECU and ABS ECU (Electronic Control Unit). KIBS tracks not only the speed of the front and rear wheels but also the engine speed, gear position, throttle position, hydraulic pressure in the front brake caliper, and engine speed. The appropriate hydraulic pressure for the front brakes is determined by analyzing this variety of information. Hydraulic pressure is controlled in far smaller increments through fine control than with typical ABS systems.
