web of the crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration and contributes to rider comfort • NEW Shorter final drive gearing provides quicker acceleration and enhanced riding excitement, while a new taller 6th gear helps maintain highway comfort Digital Ignition
• Digital Timing Advance enhances low-range and mid-range power • Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the four spark plugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder • ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-up
UPGRADED Cool Air System • Intake system routes cool air to the airbox via ducts in the fairing, minimizing performance loss due to heated intake air • UPGRADED Airbox features additional atmospheric intakes to further enhance the engine’s intoxicating intake howl • NEW Non-woven air filter element provides better flow for enhanced high-RPM performance • REVISED Velocity stacks are now equal length and provide improved throttle response and a more exciting engine character • Intake ducts are positioned close to the rider to allow the intake howl to be heard and enjoyed UPGRADED Exhaust System • The exhaust system features a 4-into-2-pre-chamber-into-2 layout to provide ample silencer volume without requiring excess bulk in the rear mufflers • NEW Oval-shaped connector tubes are larger than last year’s round tubes and help improve engine response for heightened excitement at all rpms • Main and pre-catalyzers help ensure clean emissions • A butterfly valve in the right-side muffler not only helps reduce noise, but also tunes exhaust back-pressure waves to help enhance low-rpm engine response • NEW Brushed-metal finish on the silencers provides enhanced visual appeal • Exhaust system offers excellent mass centralization and contributes to a low center of gravity

NEW Larger Fuel Tank
• NEW 4.5 gallon (17L) fuel tank offers increased range • Radical shape and two tone finish complement the Z1000’s new Sugomi inspired styling • UPGRADED Slim type fuel pump features an integral fuel level sensor with enhanced accuracy for 2014
NEW Monobloc ABS Brakes with Petal-type Rotors
• NEW One-piece “monobloc” radial-mount front brake calipers offer superb braking power and control, along with a premium quality look from their laser-etched Kawasaki logo and black alumite finish • Opposed four-piston radial-mount monobloc calipers with differentiated diameter (30mm upper, and 32mm lower) pistons provide excellent feel and progressive braking response • A radial-pump front brake master cylinder contributes to the superb control and feel offered by these high-end monobloc calipers • NEW ABS pump features a fluid pressure sensor that allows more precise control of line pressures and also provides data to the ECU to help suppress rear lift under braking • A low-battery mode helps preserve ABS effectiveness when the battery charge is low. (although riders may notice that ABS operation is less smooth than in normal mode) • Petal-type 310mm front brake rotors are full-on sportbike hardware • NEW pad compound has a higher coefficient of friction that contributes to the enhanced power and sensitivity • A single-piston rear caliper grips a 250mm petal-type disc. This compact caliper is mounted below the swingarm, and
