Kawasaki Z 1000 SX 2015

Menus

By becoming SX, the Z 1000 has opened up another road, one that covers hundreds of km. And when you have armored cousins ​​of sports and electronics like the ZX-10R and ZX-636R, just ask Mr. Kawa kindly if we can do some technology transfer.. As soon as it is said, 2014 is done. The big streamlined roadster won this year an array of sensors and software as well as subtle modifications..

The most important concerns the optional luggage which is grafted onto the hips of the Kawa. Concerned about style, the manufacturer has developed more dynamic cases. They are smaller (28 liters against 35) but can accommodate a full face helmet, and the smoothness of the butt of the Z 1000 SX does not exceed 925 mm. Significant detail: the fixing system is invisible once the bags have been removed; nice. And on the practical side, just one key is enough to open the bunkers and activate the contactor.

Kawasaki took the opportunity to review the fork parameters, installed a radial brake master cylinder and new Tokico monobloc calipers, and improved the rear shock adjustment tool. Now, a remote dial makes it easier to change the preload.

Its 4-cylinder now spits 142 horsepower or 4 additional units, and the factory tells us that this maximum power will be reached more quickly. Owl ! This ardor is now monitored for the in-house traction control, the KTRC. 3 calculation algorithms adapt to all situations, and the pilot has a choice of 2 injection maps.
The soundtrack is also a bit modified. By the aluminum-colored pots? No, by a reformed air box. It remains to be seen whether the suitcases will withstand the blast from the upper part of the exhausts..
With its updates, the Kawasaki Z 1000 SX will carve out a place of choice among the Sport-GTs.

Genesis: Since the abandonment of the big ZRX 1200 roadsters (except in Japan), there were no longer any big road-style balèze in the Kawa range. Too bad, because other Japanese manufacturers still keep a representative in their catalog. Admittedly, the cold shower of the Z 750 S could temper the ardor and desires of the Z family, but Kawa comes back to it with a much more consistent and largely surprising machine. It was the fat, mean, disturbed and disturbing Z 1000 who was chosen to don a rider’s suit. But this Z 1000 SX goes very far in this process.

It is not a fork crown like on the Fazer or Bandit that we grafted it but a real complete fairing. With its big eyes and sporty face, we can guess an extrapolation of the face of the ER-6 F, and even a renewed expression of the ZRX 1200 S. The two-tone paintwork is both very expressive and seriously successful. With this integral covering, the Z 1000 SX considerably widens the range of action of the roadster, especially since it is also provided with a large screen adjustable in 3 positions, important passenger handles, a location under the saddle two times larger than on the standard Z, a larger tank carrying 19 liters, and better seating for the crew. The technical specifications are those of the Z 1000, just to keep all the ardor and expression of streetfighter in hot neighborhoods.
