ENGINE

Designed to have a sporty character, the quick-revving engine pulls smoothly from the bottom all the way to redline and provides superb passing performance for negotiating city traffic.

Simple and reliable air-cooled, SOHC, 2-valve Single is tuned for strong acceleration throughout the rev range. Cam profiles and intake port design contribute to the smooth, quick-revving engine character. Fuel injection ensures stable fuel delivery regardless of outside air temperature or atmospheric pressure. It also ensures reliable engine starting, whether the engine is hot or cold. The airbox is positioned above and forward of the cylinder head, contributing to the sporty power feeling and helping to minimize intake noise. 24 mm throttle body adds to the quick-revving character with its long-nose type injector. Stainless steel exhaust pipe offers excellent durability, while the under-engine muffler design contributes to a compact package as well as mass centralization for light handling and increased maneuverability. Smart regulator with built-in microprocessor reviews the battery charging level and engine rpm, cutting the generating current when the battery is fully charged or during acceleration to minimize power loss. The system also helps to improve fuel efficiency. 4-Speed transmission with manual clutch Link-type shift lever, similar to that found on larger-displacement models, reduces the input load required to shift gears for a light shift touch.

Highly rigid box-section swingarm enhances to the handling while providing the strength for carrying a passenger. 30mm inverted front fork with lightweight aluminum upper triple clamp offers excellent rigidity and low unsprung weight for sporty riding potential. The fork settings also contribute to the Z125 PRO’s nimble handling. Cast aluminium wheels reduce unsprung weight and are fitted with tubeless tires for great sporty street performance. Tire sizes and tread pattern were selected to deliver sporty, nimble handling. Rear rim is wide enough to accommodate a larger 130 mm rear tire. Front and rear disc brakes provide stopping power to match the Z125 PRO’s sporty handling. The petal discs are just like those of its larger brothers in the Kawasaki line-up and add to the sporty look.
