2010 Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-14 for Sale

1,352 cc, 4-cylinder, DOHC Engine

• Tuned to provide smooth power across a very wide rev range, while producing impressive horsepower numbers
• Low mechanical noise via special piston profile and urethane insulation sheet on the inside of the magnesium chain cover
• Carefully planned engine design is compact and narrow
• Chrome composite plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and quickly carry heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for supreme durability at high power outputs

Digital Fuel Injection

• Intake porting optimizes flow characteristics
• Fine-atomizing injectors produce 75µm droplet size
• Injectors deliver lateral spray at a 20 degree angle to disperse the finely-atomized fuel over a wider area
• 44 mm Mikuni throttle bodies are fitted with sub-throttle valves, controlled by the ECU to provide precise response, make DFI® performance smoother, and help meet Euro III emission requirements
• 32-bit ECU works with dual throttle valve system to further enhance throttle response and control

Digital Ignition

• Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the four sparkplugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder at that instant
• Digital Timing Advance enhances low-and mid-range power
• ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-up

Exhaust

• Airflow into the exhaust from the large secondary air ports in the cylinder head and head cover, plus a third honeycomb catalyzer in the collector help meet strict Euro III emissions standards
• Exhaust connecting tube entrances are designed to enhance low rpm torque characteristics
• Internal silencer construction minimizes impact of emissions regulations while maintaining impressive top-end power

Full Instrumentation

• Programmable shift indicator lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal rider upshift
• Multi-function LCD digital display includes an odometer, 2 trip meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator and a clock
• Controller Area Network (CAN) interface between the gauges uses fewer wires yet allows a greater volume of information, such as estimated fuel mileage, to be exchanged
• White faced dual analog speedometer and tachometer are easy to read
• Programmable clutch engagement lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal the rider to engage the clutch

Gear-driven Dual Engine Balancers

• Already in perfect primary balance, dual secondary balancers virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth engine operation and reduced rider fatigue

Next-generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame

• Frame houses the air box and air filter in a space-saving design that simplifies air cleaner maintenance
• Rigidly mounted engine is a stressed frame member, which increases the frame’s torsional rigidity and saves approximately four pounds
• Engine positioned forward in the frame, with the wheelbase and front / rear weight balance carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive handling
• Battery is also housed within the frame and has simple access through the back side of the frame
• Frame’s cast aluminum sections steering head and swing arm pivot areas — are produced with a die casting process for further weight savings
• Lightweight, monocoque frame is a hollow aluminum box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swing arm pivot. It is narrow, strong, rigid and very light
• Massive head pipe casting contributes to frame rigidity

Radial Mounted Petal Front Disc Brakes

• Radial-pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and lever feel
• Petal design brake discs provide better cooling and warp resistance
• Radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers offer greater rigidity than traditional caliper mounting, to improve brake feel
• A separate brake pad is used for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming, so they maintain a consistent brake feel longer

Radial Pump Clutch Master Cylinder

• Hydraulic clutch features a radial-pump clutch master cylinder for smooth and precise clutch engagement and feel

Ram Air Induction

• Central ram air duct draws the cooler, higher-pressure air from the face of the fairing and efficiently guides it through the air cleaner and into the engine for maximum power output

Suspension

• Stepless damping adjustment improves suspension performance
• Excellent control and feedback from fully adjustable bottom-link Uni-Trak® rear suspension
• Inverted 43 mm cartridge type front fork utilizes damping rates that offer stiff initial action to resist front-end dive when braking
• Linkage rates provide linear suspension action
• Wheel rim center ribs are slightly offset so tire balance weights can be located precisely along the wheel’s centerline
• Bottom-link design helps create a lower center of gravity, which makes the motorcycle more nimble

Wind Tunnel-designed Bodywork

• Both the front and rear turn signals are integrated into the bodywork and have clear lenses to enhance the appearance
• Monocoque frame goes over the engine so the sleek fairing is uninterrupted by protruding frame spars, adding to the extremely long and low styling
• Lightweight Denso radiator with high-density cores provides maximum cooling efficiency
• Quadruple projector beam headlights give the ZX-14 a distinctive front fairing. The outer lights contain position lamps and the high beams, while the low beams are in the center lamps
