Race-ready engine
To optimise the 10R’s performance for the track, the new engine has been tuned for even greater high-rpm performance without reducing the engine’s impressive low and mid-range torque. In addition, throttle response was improved by installing secondary fuel injectors, using oval throttle bodies and reshaping the intake ports. These changes give the new engine a performance potential very similar to Kawasaki’s factory superbike racing machines, making it essentially a race-ready engine. |
Hybrid instrument cluster
The 10R’s 2nd generation cluster instrument package features special UVblocking glass, making the LED displays brighter and easier to read. |

Revised RAM Air
The highly efficient, centrally mounted Ram Air intake duct was reshaped to reduce intake noise and further improve intake efficiency. A new passageway through the frame routes intake air from the Ram Air duct to either side of the steering head, giving the air a straight and very efficient path to the airbox. |
Easily removable street-use parts
The license plate holder and rear turnsignals are quickly detachable for circuit riding. |

Exhaust system
A single orthogonal titanium right-side silencer replaces the earlier dual under-seat units. Along with the pre-chamber, this design lowers the bike’s centre of gravity and centralises mass, contributing to the bike’s flickable handling. Exhaust efficiency is also improved, contributing to the increased power output of the new engine. |
Die-cast aluminium sub-frame
The sub-frame is mounted to the frame’s upper cross member, allowing the rear suspension to transmit its loads more directly to the sub-frame, and thence to the rider. The 2-piece sub-frame is an aluminium die-casting consisting of a front and rear section. This layout enables a very precise and very lightweight construction. The new sub-frame is also very narrow, allowing the rear of the bike to be very compact and slim. |

Ultra high feedback chassis
The stiffness balance of Kawasaki’s unique backbone twin-tube frame has been further optimised and contributes to the superb rider feedback. This was achieved by reshaping the frame’s pressed parts, replacing concave pieces with convex pieces. Not really noticeable to the naked eye, the changes alleviate stress concentrations. |
Front suspension
The 43 mm inverted fork is fully adjustable and features bottom mounted springs. Mounting the springs at the bottom completely submerges them in oil, reducing frothing for improved damping performance, fork action and roadfollowing ability. DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) fork tube coating is also featured on the ’08 10R. Not only does this high-tech low-friction coating improve fork action, it improves friction control: the initial part of the stroke is slowed, smoothing action for stable braking; once compressed, the reduced friction allows the stroke to move quickly for superb road holding. |

Rear suspension
Improvements to the Uni-Trak rear suspension include a new mounting location for the linkage. The fully adjustable shock now features dual (low and high-speed) compression damping, enabling the fine-tuning needed for circuit riding. Ride feel is improved, and feedback and traction control are what riders expect of a competition-ready machine. |
Front brakes
New Tokico radial mount brake calipers are fitted with dual pads (instead of 4 individual pads). While stopping performance is the same, the change offers superb initial bite characteristics and increased control care of progressive feel after the initial bite. New ø310 mm petal discs replace the earlier ø300 mm units, and the disc thickness has been reduced from t6 to t5.5 for efficient heat dispersion. Because these new brakes are less influenced by heat, brake feel remains more consistent and more responsive during extended periods of heavy use – such as during a race or a trackday. |

Swingarm with topmounted stabiliser
The 10R’s swingarm uses pressed beams to deliver a level of feel and feedback unobtainable with a cast swingarm. Specially designed to match the optimised stiffness balance of the new frame, the new swingarm features a top-mounted stabiliser. This new design contributes to the superb high-speed stability of the new chassis. (The 2006-model 10R used a bottom-mounted stabiliser.) |
Dual injection/oval sub-throttles
New secondary fuel injectors improve top- 11 end power output and power characteristics in the high-rpm range. While the lower injectors operate all the time, operation of the upstream injector is determined by the degree of throttle opening and engine rpm. |

Race-quality steering damper
An adjustable Öhlins steering damper with relief valve and twin-tube design is fitted as standard equipment. The second tube, which acts like a reservoir tank, and the damper internals, ensure stable damping performance even under racing conditions. (Even if the damping fluid in the cylinder gets hot it will not froth.) This race-quality unit was developed in collaboration with Öhlins specially for the Ninja ZX-10R. The damper unit has an integral clamp so that piston motion is not hindered. |
