| 2005 kawasaki ZX10R |
feature
engine
- Liquid-cooled, 998cc four-stroke, inline four-cylinder engine utilizes stacked shaft layout for compact dimensions, contributing to the ZX-10R’s narrow profile
- One-piece cylinder/crankcase saves weight and is more rigid
- Forged pistons have flat top for compact combustion chamber
- Cams machined from chromoly steel billet and surface treated with soft nitride for light weight and durability
- Tappet surfaces treated with soft nitriding to help prevent wear
- Intake and exhaust valves use single springs with oval cross sections to lower overall engine height
- Flow analysis used to design cylinder head, maximizing engine breathing at high rpm
- All-titanium four-into-one exhaust system includes butterfly valve to enhance low-rpm power - Oval-shaped aluminum muffler with internal titanium parts reduces noise and includes honeycomb catalyzer to reduce emissions
- Digital fuel injection with sub-throttle assembly and 43mm throttle bodies provide best power characteristics and ridability
- High-speed generator is clutch driven and is positioned behind the cylinder bank to reduce engine width
- Liquid-cooled oil cooler helps to maintain consistent oil temperatures
- Sloshing analysis used to design internal structure of oil pan, reducing windage and helping to maintain low oil temperatures
- Magnesium engine covers reduce overall dry weight
Transmission
- Close-ratio six-speed transmission optimizes on-track performance
- Multi-plate wet clutch with back torque limiter prevents rear wheel hop under hard braking and deceleration
Chassis
- All-aluminum, twin-spar frame utilizes thin-walled castings and pressed sheets welded together for light weight – provides high-speed stability and responsive handling, yet is no wider than most 600cc sportbikes
- Frame arches over the engine rather than around it, giving the ZX-10R the narrowest possible profile for excellent riding position and ride “feel”
- Fully adjustable 43mm forks and internal aluminum parts feature circuit setting for competition
- Top triple clamp features “lightening holes” to reduce weight
- Gull-type aluminum swingarm with oval pipe brace, UNI-TRAK® linkage and fully adjustable shock is lightweight and torsionally rigid
- Rear suspension includes ride height adjustment
Brakes & Wheels
- Dual 300mm front disc brakes feature radial-mounted four-piston calipers and single 220mm rear disc brake – the first petal discs in the liter bike class – enhance cooling and prevent warpage
- Cast-aluminum wheels utilize six spokes in place of the traditional three-spoke design, so rim thickness is reduced, yet the wheels are stronger and lighter
Bodywork & Ergonomics
- Front fairing is narrower than most 600cc sportbikes
- Central ram air duct pressurizes the airbox at speed
- Pop nuts make disassembly quick and easy
- Three-dimensional computer-assisted design used to develop ergonomic and aerodynamic layout
- Three-piece front fender increases aerodynamic efficiency
- Top of the fuel tank is concave so the rider can tuck in more twightly behind the windscreen
- Fuel tank bottom is flat to provide engine with stable fuel level
- Compact rear fender is slim and light
- Inner fender’s flowing design matches the shape of the swingarm to achieve unity of function and style
- Optional five-piece W-shaped rear seat cowl flows from the tank the rear tail section for an aggressive, high-quality image and is easily removed for maintenance
Additional Features
- Forged aluminum handlebars are strong and gun drilled to further reduce weight
- Powerful dual multi-reflector 55W headlights provide best possible nighttime visibility
- Digital LCD instrument panel includes tachometer, speedometer, water temperature gauge, shift indicator, clock and stop watch function
