Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6RR picture and feature

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6RR
Features and Benefits:

Four-Cylinder 599cc Engine
  • Reshaped combustion chambers and redesigned piston crowns help produce more power
  • Molybdenum coating added to piston skirts to reduce friction and mechanical loss, contributing to the ZX-6RR’s high-revving nature
  • Intake and exhaust valves are larger for better breathing at all rpm
  • Camshaft profile has higher lift for more performance
  • Gear ratios for the oil pump changed to reduce mechanical loss
  • Cut-outs added to the cylinder skirts to reduce pumping loss

Crankcase

Crankcase is light and rigid, allowing piston oil jets to be positioned closer to pistons

Optimal Intake
  • Short intake and exhaust valves reduce weight and improve high-rpm performance
  • Larger intake valves help increase performance
  • Single springs of oval-shape are lighter providing improved intake valve control at high rpm
  • Stepped spring seats replace previous plain type to better stabilize the valve springs

Fuel Injection System
  • Large-bore 38mm throttle bodies produce high engine output and low emissions
  • Sub-throttle bodies ensure smooth, linear power characteristics
  • New twin injectors improve cylinder filling for more power

Six-Speed Transmission w/Clutch Back-Torque Limiter
  • Closer gear ratios for 2004 provide for more aggressive, competition-style performance
  • Clutch back-torque limiter helps prevent wheel hop during quick deceleration

Digital Ignition
  • 32-bit high-speed microprocessor-controlled timing is ultra-responsive

Lightweight Exhaust System
  • Light exhaust system contributes to engine performance
  • Stainless muffler housing improves catalyzer performance and reduces emissions

KLEEN™ (Kawasaki Low Exhaust Emission) System
  • Helps keep exhaust emissions environmentally friendly
  • KCA (Kawasaki Clean Air) system routes fresh air to the exhaust ports for reduced exhaust emissions

Ram Air Intake
  • Centrally located ram-air duct reduces number of parts and weight to improve intake efficiency
  • Greater resistance to wind side-drafts

Pressed Aluminum Perimeter Frame
  • Rigid aluminum frame delivers crisp and stable handling
  • Centrally mounted Ram Air duct is integrated with steering head to reduce weight and improve Ram Air efficiency
  • Lightweight aluminum sub-frame facilitates maintenance
  • Adjustable swingarm pivot for fine-tuning handling
  • Steering head bearings use ball bearing type for light, responsive steering
  • Threaded steering damper mount incorporated into left frame spar

Aerodynamic Cowling
  • Race-inspired fairing and bodywork give the machine a distinctively racy look
  • Fairing offers an exceptionally low drag coefficient for slippery aerodynamics
  • Central Ram Air duct gives the front of the bike an aggressive identity
  • Lightweight and powerful dual multi-reflector headlights provides exceptional visibility

41mm Inverted Kayaba Fork
  • Fully adjustable fork runs stiff tubes for high fork rigidity and superior steering feedback
  • Top-out springs and adjustable spring preload are fitted for stable performance throughout the stroke range
  • Super-hard DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating added to inner fork tubes to reduce friction
  • Revised damping for improved action

Bottom-Link UNI-TRAK® Rear Suspension
  • Nitrogen-gas charged Kayaba shock with piggyback reservoir is fully adjustable for rebound and compression damping
  • Shock utilizes a threaded collar spring preload adjuster
  • A top-out spring on the rear shock improves shock action
  • Stepless damping adjuster with check valve instead of needle valve for improved damping
  • Adjustable ride height with 1mm shims


Stopping Power
  • Radial-mounted, four-piston, four-pad front brake calipers
  • Four independent brake pads are used in each caliper for more even wear and improved heat resistance
  • Semi-floating 280mm steel front disc rotors are 6mm thick for high heat capacity and mount on flat disc carriers without offset for reduced weight
  • Brake lever is five-way adjustable
  • Small diameter rear brake disc measures 220mm in diameter without offset for low unsprung weight
  • Front brake hose routing eliminates interference with radiator

Instrument Cluster
  • Instrument cluster features a bar-type LCD tachometer, digital LCD speedometer, programmable shift indicator light and stopwatch-style 99 lap timer
  • Cluster also includes digital temp gauge, clock, tripmeter and comprehensive range of indicator lamps

Details
  • Handlebar, seat and footpeg location enhance a track oriented riding position
  • One-piece forged aluminum handlebars
  • Ergonomically shaped seat and tank allow rider to mold to bike
  • LED taillight is very light, highly compact, very durable and looks exceptionally cool
  • Tamper resistant ignition switch
  • Quick-detach rear seat allows easy mounting of standard aerodynamic single-seat cover
  • Extruded aluminum swingarm with internal ribbing offers strong, torsional rigidity and low weight
  • Friction-reducing sealant on the front brake caliper pistons improves brake feel
  • Lime green coating added to side plates of X-ring drive chain for cool, racy look
