Overview

Kawasaki ZRX1200R DAEG Special Edition

Key Features Fuel Injection, with Z1000 based fuel pump. ECU are based from their flagship superbike, the Kawasaki ZX10R. 6-speed gearbox. Adopt ZZR1400/ZX-14 wheel shape. Immobilizer as standard. LED tail lamp. Slimmer radiator, lighter, added 16% more cooling efficiency. New suspension. New D shaped swing arm. Exhaust design changed.

“Although the styling is similar, the new ZRX has significant changes that, in US trim (Japan has horsepower restrictions), would provide an increase in performance not only from the engine, but from the braking system and the chassis. The new bike finally gets fuel injection, along with porting and valve work in the engine department, a new exhaust system and a six-speed transmission (the old bike was a five-speed). New brakes consist of Tokico four-piston calipers squeezing a pair of petal-shaped front rotors measuring 310mm and a single piston/250mm rotor combo in back. Steering geometry has been changed, and suspension settings are revised front and rear. The rear shocks are new, and are mounted at a different angle. They feature two-stage springs. The swingarm looks similar to the one found on the old model, but it is also new. Bodywork has been changed slightly (apparent to the discerning eye), and the instruments are new.
