Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14
KAWASAKI NINJA® ZX™-14 COMBINES THE BEST OF EVERYTHING TO DELIVER
SERIOUS MOTORCYCLISTS THAT ELUSIVE “ULTIMATE” RIDE
Sleek aerodynamics, unmatched power, acceleration, and stability combine
to provide balance to company’s latest flagship.
If ever a brand of motorcycles was defined by the sheer power emanating
from its long history of record-breaking sportbikes, Kawasaki would hold
that mantel. If ever a brand would be expected to rightfully incorporate
the meaning of the word “ultimate” into its newest flagship street
carver, Kawasaki fits the bill. That’s just what the company has done
with the Ninja® ZX™-14, a 1352cc motorcycle that is its most powerful
ever, and succeeds in setting the performance standards for others to follow.
Kawasaki engineers and designers have created a motorcycle that turns its
Ram Air and fuel-injected engine into the core of a powerful, torque-producing,
aerodynamic stunner that will draw attention from onlookers whether on
the road, or parked on the roadside. Wrapped in a choice of Passion Red,
Ebony, or Candy Thunder Blue, the new ZX-14 makes blending into the scenery
nearly impossible. It accelerates with ease, handles with assurance, and
exudes an aura unmatched by anything else on the street. This most powerful
of all Kawasaki-branded motorcycles was created to do everything right.
Right from the beginning. Its aerodynamics reminds users that Kawasaki
is indeed an aircraft maker. The blending of form, power, and handling
characteristics have delivered a debut unit that is so balanced in all
aspects that the word—ultimate—seems barely adequate to describe
it. This all new in-line four has evolved from the Ninja ZX-12R and features
a bore and stroke of 84 x 61mm packed into a purposefully designed compact
outline that minimizes engine width, leaving it at virtually the same width
as the 12R. A twist of the throttle delivers a seamless spread of torque
that is so linear, the “power band,” per se, ceases to exist.
Riders will pay particular attention to the impressive response that kicks
in once the motor exceeds 6,000 rpm. Those that have ridden this newest
Kawasaki flagship marvel at the torque response that makes pulling away
from a total stop in almost any gear a possibility. The engine uses a secondary
balancer to tame unwanted vibrations, and a direct-actuation shift lever
is lighter than conventional linkage-type set-ups, offering a more direct
feel for the rider. The ZX-14’s chassis design is every bit the equal
of its power plant. It is an advanced version of Kawasaki’s unique
aluminum monocoque frame, lightweight and very strong. This sophisticated
approach gives the ZX-14 a responsive handling quality and incredible highway
stability. By utilizing this frame technology, engineers were able to concentrate
on delivering, as mentioned, a very slim, compact package. Inherently more
rigid than twin-spar frames, and with the engine rigid-mounted, the monocoque’s
strength is greatly increased. With the engine positioned forward in the
frame, engineers were able to carefully select the wheelbase and front/rear
wheel weight balance to achieve both high speed stability and responsive
handling. The ZX-14 uses an inverted 43mm cartridge fork and new Uni-Trak®
linkage rear suspension to complement the highly rigid frame, thus offering
both great controllability at high speeds and superb road holding when
sport riding on twisting hill roads.
Does this ultimate combination of engine performance and chassis design
make the Kawasaki ZX-14 rider-friendly?
The engineers and designers sought to combine the utmost elements of today’s
motorcycle technologies, yet still provide a package that is both approachable—and
usable. The ZX-14 delivers seamless power, a smooth ride, and friendly
ergonomics. Together, these characteristics are manifested in a ride that
is surprisingly non-intimidating, yet still maintains the heart of the
rebel so much a part of Kawasaki’s brand heritage.
Offering a very relaxed sport riding position, it is compact without being
cramped, and the bars are positioned so riders don’t have to stretch
to reach them. The narrow engine, monocoque frame, and fuel tank make it
easy for the rider to keep his knees close together in any riding conditions.
Footpegs are low-set to give ample legroom and the low seat height and
narrow seat front make planting feet on the ground when stopped a cinch.
And when the rider is stopped, the motorcycle will be the center of attention.
Because the monocoque frame goes over the engine and doesn’t protrude
through the fairing, the fairing design lines are uninterrupted, giving
it a smooth, flowing appearance, from front to rear. Quadruple projector
beam headlights adorn the ZX-14’s front cowl, with the outer lights
containing position lamps and high beams. Low beams are located in the
two center lamps. The front and rear turn signals are integrated into the
fairing and rear cowl, and the all new LED tail lamp features a unique
“V” design.
Other key features of the Kawasaki ZX-14:
- Instrument cluster with easy-to-read, white-faced dual analogue speedometer
and tachometer.
- Shift indicator light and clutch engagement light.
- Multi-function LCD digital display includes fuel gauge, gear indicator,
dual trip meters, odometer, and clock.
- Large diameter petal brake discs, radial mount front calipers and a radial
pump brake master cylinder for impressive braking performance and superb
feel.
- Hydraulically operated clutch features a radial mount clutch master cylinder
for worry-free, silky smooth clutch operation.
- Fuel tank features a flush-surface tank cap.
- Idling speed control system contributes to easy starting capability.
- Lightweight Denso radiator with high-density cores provides efficient
cooling.
- Massive head pipe casting contributes to frame rigidity.
- Airbox located in the frame, contributing to a very compact layout.
- Engine and chassis components designed to maximize mass centralization.
- Newly designed wheels feature center ribs which are slightly offset so
that tire balance weights can be located at the wheel centerline.
All told, Kawasaki has once again brought its engineering and design expertise
to the forefront of motorcycle creation. The Ninja ZX-14 lives up to its
predecessors, and far surpasses them, as the meaning of the word “ultimate”
has found a new definition.

Key Features:
- Distinctive Ninja® Styling
- Most Powerful Production Kawasaki Engine
- Next Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame
- Comfortable Riding Position
1,352cc Four-Cylinder, DOHC(KP) Engine
- The most powerful production Kawasaki motorcycle engine ever.
- Tuned to provide smooth power across a very wide rev range while raising
the legendary Kawasaki horsepower standards to a new level.
- Carefully planned engine design keeps it compact and narrow.
- Chrome composite plated(KP) aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight,
durable, and quickly carry heat away from the combustion chamber and piston
for supreme durability at high power outputs.
Gear-Driven Dual Engine Balancers(KP)
- Already in perfect primary balance, dual secondary balancers virtually
eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth engine operation and
rider support.
Ram Air Induction(KP)
- Central Ram Air duct produces a straighter path to the airbox for maximum
intake efficiency. Similar inlet design to the Ninja ZX-6R and ZX-10R gives
the ZX-14 consistent Kawasaki Ninja styling.
- This system takes cooler, high-pressure air from in front of the fairing
and guides it through the air cleaner and into the engine for maximum power
output.
Digital Fuel Injection(KP)
- 44mm Mikuni throttle bodies are fitted with sub-throttle valves(KP) that
are controlled by the ECU to provide precise response and make DFI performance
smoother, with response similar to constant velocity carburetors.
- 32-bit electronic control unit works with dual throttle valve system
to further enhance throttle response and control.
- A digital computer feeds the engine exactly the amount of fuel it needs
for cleaner emissions and maximum fuel economy.
Digital Ignition
- Digital Timing Advance enhances low-and mid-range power.
- Four individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each spark plug
independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder at that instant.
Radial Pump Clutch
- Hydraulic clutch features a radial-mount clutch master cylinder for very
smooth clutch operation.
Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame(KP)
- Evolved from the ZX-12R, the 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.
- Engine is rigidly mounted to increase the monocoque’s torsional
rigidity. Plus using the engine as a stressed frame member decreases the
frame’s weight by approximately four pounds.
- Engine positioned forward in the frame, wheelbase and front/rear weight
balance were carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive
handling.
- The monocoque section houses the air box and air filter in a space-saving
design that actually simplifies air cleaner maintenance. Two screws hold
a plate on the left side of the frame that allows air cleaner access.
- The battery is also housed within the frame and has simple access through
the back side of the frame.
- The steering head and swing arm pivot areas are cast aluminum for superior
strength and rigidity.
Inverted 43mm Cartridge Type Front Fork(KP)
- Damping rates offer stiff initial action to resist front-end dive when
braking.
- Stepless damping adjustment improves suspension performance.
Bottom-Link Uni-Track® Rear Suspension(KP)
- Linkage rates provide linear suspension action.
- The bottom-link design concentrates the weight lower in the chassis for
a lower center of gravity, which makes the bike more flickable.
Radial Mounted Petal Front Disc Brakes
- Radial mounted 4-piston front brake calipers. Instead of mounting the
calipers with threaded tabs cast near the top of the caliper, the radial
design utilizes integrated mounting points at both the top and bottom of
the caliper, with the mounting bolts inserted through the rear of the caliper
instead of the side/front. This makes the caliper more rigid, which improves
brake feel over a wider range of operation.
- A separate brake pad is used for each piston. One large pad can deform
with the heat generated by hard track style riding, resulting in a loss
of brake feel at the lever. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency
and can absorb more heat without deforming so they maintain consistent
brake feel lap after lap.
- Petal design brake discs provide better cooling and warp resistance.
- Radial-pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and
lever feel.
Wind Tunnel-Designed Bodywork
- Since the monocoque frame goes over the engine the fairing is uninterrupted
by protruding frame spars, adding to the extremely long and low styling.
Both the front and rear turn signals are integrated into the bodywork and
have clear lenses to enhance the appearance.
- Quadruple projector beam headlights give the ZX-14 a distinctive nose.
The outer lights contain position lamps and the high beams, while the low
beams are in the center lamps.
Full Instrumentation
- Dual analog speedometer and tachometer with white faces are easy to read.
- Multi-function LCD digital display includes an odometer, two trip meters,
gear position indicator and a clock.
- Programmable shift indicator lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal
rider upshift.
- Programmable clutch engagement lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal
the rider to engage the clutch.
- A CAN (Controller Area Network) interface between the meter uses fewer
wires while allowing a greater volume of information, such as estimated
fuel mileage, to be exchanged.Specifications:
