2014 KAWASAKI ZX636EEF, What s in a number? Only everything. Six percent may not sound like much, but it is the displacement advantage the 2014 Ninja® ZX -6R supersport has over the rest of the 600cc class. This performance advantage began over a decade ago with the first 636, a revolutionary machine that blew-away the competition s 600 s and won races against factory 750 s on the track. The 2014 ZX-6R continues family tradition of racetrack dominance and unmatched street cred with its physical embodiment of the family slogan: Performance Counts! Key Features Class-leading Supersport performance and styling deliver a youthful dose of street potency 636cc inline-four offers racetrack-ready power yet extremely flexible delivery on the street Selectable engine power modes allow riders to adjust power delivery to riding conditions Three-mode KTRC traction control puts the power to the pavement whether it s dry and grippy or rain-slick Showa Separate Function Big Piston Fork (SFF-BP) offers light weight, easy adjustability and smoother initial suspension tracking Nissin one-piece monobloc radial-mount front brake calipers and radial-pump front brake master cylinder offer superb braking modulation with an accurate and direct feel at the lever F.C.C. clutch with assist function offers light clutch pull and strong clamping force for less clutch slippage under acceleration while slipper function minimizes wheel chatter caused by aggressive downshifting Aggressive styling and sharp, aerodynamic and bodywork clearly shout: Performance Counts! Lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame places the engine in the optimum position for superb handling and rider feedback and also features a 23.5-degree rake angle for quick steering response, maximum maneuverability and to promote clear communication from the front tire Reduced friction steering stem seals for easy steering inputs and noticeably improved low speed handling 636cc Engine 636cc displacement uses a long-stroke to boost engine performance throughout the rev range. Low-mid range torque is especially impressive, and provides satisfying real world performance Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) system features four 38mm Keihin throttle bodies with oval sub-throttles Chrome-moly steel camshafts are light, strong and durable Pistons crown enhances strength and accommodates the high valve lift 12.9:1 compression ratio is optimum for this engine s bore & stroke Molybdenum coating on piston skirts reduces friction and facilitates engine break-in Strong connecting rods suit the power delivery of this engine High-performance airbox design contributes to peak power and smooth power delivery Single-bore intake funnels improve low-mid range torque. Two different funnel shapes (outer are the same, inner are the same) help deliver optimized throttle response Ultra-fine atomizing injectors help ensure complete air-fuel mixin
