Kawasaki Germany has introduced 50
limited edition of the 2009 Kawasaki ZX-10R in White for German market only.
2009 Kawasaki ZX-10R White Edition is just cosmetic. The engine is similar to
the stock version, The Ninja is fitted with a white inner-Fenders, pillion seat
cover, mini flashing front and rear, Akrapovic rear silencer in Carbon and a
limited edition sticker with the serial number of the limited edition series.
This is decorated with a high quality replacement white embroidery machine and
gives it an even more sporty touch.
Four-Cylinder, DOHC 998 cc / 60.9 cu-incc Engine
- Very compact, narrow and lightweight design
- One-piece upper crankcase and cylinder casting saves weight and offers
increased rigidity
- Oil is routed through channels milled into the cases on various parts of the
engine, eliminating oil lines and saving weight
- Stacked triangular layout of crank axis, input shaft and output shaft reduces
engine length and lowers the center of gravity
- Lightweight crankshaft maintains the same inertial moment as heavier design
but saves about two pounds
- Low friction oil pump reduction ratio
- Water pump uses the same type impeller as the ZX-14 with pump rpm optimized
for less friction
- Lightweight Denso radiator with tightly packed cores
- Specially designed internal fins on the liquid-cooled, aluminum oil cooler for
highefficiency heat dissipation
Cylinder head
- Intake ports, exhaust ports and combustion chambers designed for optimum flow
efficiency and top-end power
- Exhaust ports are narrower at the midpoint and larger at the opening to
promote higher exhaust velocity
- 24.5mm diameter exhaust valves
- Lift profiles of the cam lobes are designed to deliver more power at high rpm
and make it easier to tune the engine for racing
Fuel Injection
- Secondary fuel injectors improve top-end power output and power
characteristics
- Oval cross-sectioned throttle bodies allow more precise throttle control and
response
- Compact flat-type fuel pump takes up less fuel tank space
Air intake
- Ram air intake duct shaped for lower intake noise and higher intake efficiency
- Larger airbox offers accessibility and ease of maintenance
KIMS Ignition
- Kawasaki Ignition Management System (KIMS) helps curtail sudden spikes in
engine speed, enhancing the rider’s control of power delivery
- Designed not to interfere with the rider’s inputs, the complex ECU program
remains passive, unless the change in engine speed exceeds the predicted
response for the given parameters, the KIMS will not engage
- Monitors engine speed, throttle position, vehicle speed, gear position, FI
input data (feedback from intake air temperature, intake air pressure, engine
temperature and O2 sensors), and rate of RPM change, then adjusts ignition
timing to help regulate power delivery
- Only possible to adjust the parameters with an accessory racing (circuit-use
only) kit installed
Exhaust system
- Features a pre-chamber under the engine to reduce exhaust noise, and minimize
silencer volume
- Palladium catalyzer helps the ZX-10R to meet strict 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
- Gear ratios suit the power characteristics for ideal power delivery in the low
and high-rpm ranges
- Final reduction ratio of 17/41 intensifies the acceleration
- Features an adjustable back-torque limiting clutch
Chassis
- Unique twin-spar frame features an optimized stiffness balance through a
mixture of materials, shapes and thicknesses, which alleviate critical stress
concentrations
- Ribbing on the interior of the pivot plate where it joins the frame’s upper
cross member slightly slows down the frame feedback for a more accurate feel
- Swingarm pivot located to aid with the front-rear weight balance
- Lightweight, two-piece, aluminum die-cast sub-frame is mounted to the frame’s
upper cross member, so rear suspension feedback is transmitted more directly to
the rider
- Narrow sub-frame layout contributes to the compact and slim rear of the bike
Swingarm
- Pressed beam swingarm delivers a level of feel and feedback unobtainable with
a cast swingarm
- Swingarm features a top-mounted brace that contributes to the superb
high-speed stability of the 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 for reduced frothing and
improved damping performance, fork action and road-following ability
- Fully adjustable shock features dual (low- and high-speed) compression
damping, providing the fine-tuning needed for racing
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
Brakes
- Tokico radial mount brake calipers fitted with dual pads for superb initial
bite, increased control and a progressive feel
- 5.5mm thick 310mm petal discs provide the heat dispersion needed to maintain
brake feel and responsiveness during extended periods of heavy use
- 220mm rear petal disc is gripped by a single-piston caliper
Wheels
- Squeeze-cast wheels offer more precise dimensions with less wall thickness and
weight yet are stiffer than the gravity-cast units
Ergonomics
- Rear frame, tank and seat offer high levels of contact with the bike and
provide the rider very accurate feedback regarding chassis performance and road
surface
- Flared fuel tank top makes it easier for riders to rest the inside of their
arm on the tank when leaning into a turn
- Narrow in the front and shorter, front to back, for a slimmer riding position,
the seat offers a shorter reach to the pavement and excellent feedback from the
chassis
- A special rib on the end of throttle tube, under the rubber, improves grip and
feel
Aerodynamic Bodywork
- Top of the front cowl has a slight step at the front to reduce wind blast on
the rider’s shoulders and generate a laminar flow around the rider’s helmet for
less turbulence at higher speeds
- Front fender aids cooling efficiency by directing air toward the radiator
- Recess on the top of the fuel tank accommodates the helmet’s chin, so it’s
easier to tuck in behind the windscreen
- High mounting position of mirrors, with integrated turn signals, 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
- The mirrors, license plate holder and rear turn signals are easily removable
for track day prep
- LED tail light makes the bike more visible to drivers and provides the final
styling flourish to the evocative Ninja design
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
