==Engine==
The engine was a Liquid cooled cooled Four stroke, transverse four cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder. The engine featured a 13.0:1 [[compression ratio]].  

==Drive==
Power was moderated via the Wet multi-disc, manual.  

==Chassis==
It came with a 120/70ZR17M/C (58W) front [[tire]] and a 190/55ZR17M/C (75W) rear tire. Stopping was achieved via 2x 330 mm semi-floating Brembo discs, 4-piston, dual radial-mount, Brembo M50 monobloc in the front and a Single 220mm disc with aluminum single-piston [[caliper]] in the rear. The front suspension was a  43 mm inverted Balance Free Front Fork with external compression chamber, compression and rebound damping and spring preload adjustability, and top-out springs while the rear was equipped with a Horizontal Back-link with BFRC lite gas-charged shock, piggyback reservoir, compression and rebound damping and spring preload adjustability, and top-out spring. The ZX-10RR Ninja was fitted with a 17 Litres / 4.5 US gal fuel tank. The wheelbase was 1440 mm / 56.7 in long.

== Overview ==




Kawasaki ZX-10RR Ninja





















Based on the KRT race machine that has been amassing record after record in the
Superbike World Championship, Kawasakis trio of litre-class supersport models
allow a wide range of riders to experience the thrill of exploring their limits
on the circuit.

Engine improvements for 2019 offer increased power, with an even wider powerband
 both advantages that that will further increase their race-winning potential.
This is as close as it gets to being part of the official Kawasaki World
Superbike team.


This is one serious competitor. Equipped as standard with special light-weight
Marchesini wheels plus Brembo M50 front calipers, the Ninja ZX-10RR takes no
prisoners. Get Closer and you'll find a modified cylinder head and crankcases
plus a quick up and down shifter. For 2019 only 500 numbered units are available
worldwide which are all fitted with titanium connecting rods contributing to the
increased power to 204 PS. The track calls and the Ninja ZX-10RR listens.


Machined RR logo engraved into the pulser cover helps distinguish the Ninja
ZX-10RR from the crowd. Ignition key adorned with a RR logo adds another
special touch.

The
difference between the 2019 ZX-10R, ZX-10R SE and ZX-10RR are:


ZX-10R
Base model gets engine upgrades that take power to 200bhp thanks to reduced
inertia and more aggressive high-lift cams. It also gets the KQS bi-directional
quickshifter.


ZX-10RR
Track-focused single-seat model is limited to 500 bikes, gets titanium
connecting rods, track-tuned suspension settings, a 600rpm higher rev limit, and
a 1bhp advantage over the R, and lighter forged Marchesini wheels.


ZX-10R SE
Based on the R model, the SE benefits from Kawasakis advanced electronic
suspension (KECS), and forged Marchesini wheels, while areas susceptible to
scuffing and high-wear are treated to a paint finish that self-heals.






Features:


Race-Ready Engine
A number of changes offering enhanced performance and increased reliability care
of feedback from Kawasakis racing efforts in the Superbike World Championship
facilitate converting the Ninja ZX-10RR into a race machine.


Track-focused 998 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-line Four
The Ninja ZX-10Rs engine balanced stunning power with manageability, and
facilitated getting back on the gas by moving peak torque higher up in the rpm
range. The current engine maintains this essential character, but offers a
stronger low-mid range for increased acceleration coming out of corners.


Cylinder & Crankcase
Modified cylinder head provides the clearance to accommodate race-kit high-lift
cams. Reinforced, high-rigidity crankcase offers increase reliability and
performance for a race-tuned engine.


Titanium Connecting Rods
Complementing the new finger-follower valve actuation, the Ninja ZX-10RR
features special high-performance titanium connecting rods designed by Pankl, a
company specialising in developing and manufacturing engine and drivetrain
components for formula race cars, high performance vehicles and the aerospace
industry. Their lightweight components, made from high-grade materials, are
designed using finite element analysis to withstand extreme mechanical stress.
These high-performance connecting rods were developed specifically for the Ninja
ZX-10RR alongside the Kawasaki Racing Teams long-time performance partner. *
Use of the lightweight titanium connecting rods enables the rev limit to be
increased by 600 min-1, and contributes to a further 1 PS gain in peak power. *
Raising the rev limit enables an even wider powerband, strengthening the Ninja
ZX-10RRs easy-to-use character. * Weighing 102 g less each, the lighter
connecting rods contribute to reducing the crankshafts moment of inertia by 5%.
In addition to benefiting engine response and handling, this makes it much
easier for riders to weight the front wheel on corner entry.


Finger-follower valve actuation
A change to finger-follower valve actuation and other updates increase the Ninja
ZX-10RRs engine performance. Peak horsepower is higher: now 204 PS, which can
easily be augmented care of a full race exhaust. However, the changes benefit
performance across the rev range, delivering increased power at all rpm  an
advantage for racers as well as World Superbike teams. The changes essentially
raise the flat torque curve of the previous model, so the Ninja ZX-10RRs
easy-to-use character is maintained while offering increased power.


Electronic throttle valves
Electronic throttle valves allow the ECU to deliver the ideal amount of fuel and
air to the engine. The system also enables more precise control of S-KTRC, as
well as implementation of systems like KLCM and Kawasaki Engine Brake Control.


Cassette transmission
Race-style cassette transmission facilitates gear ratio changes to suit track
conditions. The cassette is located high enough that it can be accessed
without having the engine oil drain out.




Kawasaki Quick Shifter
Dual-direction KQS is now standard equipment on all models. * Dual-direction KQS
system allows both clutchless upshifts and downshifts, facilitating circuit
riding. * Designed for effective sport riding, KQS can also be used on the
street at rpm above 2,500 min-1.


Aluminium twin-spar frame
Revised geometry care of a steering head moved closer to the rider, and a longer
swingarm put more weight on the front for increased corner entry stability and
confidence on the circuit.


Electronic steering damper
Kawasakis electronic steering damper, jointly developed with Öhlins, is
standard equipment on all models. * Electronic steering damper provides just the
right amount of damping based on what the bike is doing. Using input from the
rear wheel speed sensor (provided via the engine ECU), the electronic steering
dampers ECU determines the vehicles speed as well as the degree the bike is
accelerating or decelerating. * For riders who prefer a mechanical steering
damper, the race kit ECU can accommodate either the electronic or mechanical
damper.


Suspension Settings
To match the Ninja ZX-10RRs single-seat specification and wheels and tyres,
front and rear suspension settings ensure smooth weight transfer during
deceleration and acceleration on the circuit. Pitching is kept at a manageable
level, resulting in composed behaviour. Complementing the Pirelli tyres, the
suspension settings contribute to the bikes quicker lap times.


Wheels & Tyres
7-spoke multi-directional forged aluminium wheels jointly developed with
Marchesini contribute to lighter handling  especially when changing direction.
They offer a balance of high rigidity and a significantly reduced moment of
inertia. In addition The Ninja ZX-10RR is fit with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP
tyres. The high-performance tyres greatly contribute to quicker lap times.
