7 Executive suite The 1400GTR arrives with a suite of quality features that ensure maximum sport and touring pleasure for you and your passenger. Harnessing contemporary technology to make miles pass more easily and your relationship with long distance motorcycling even more intense, the 1400GTR is built to impress. FEATURES Traction control system (KTRC) Electronic authorisation start system (KIPASS) Tyre pressure monitoring system Economy riding mode and indicator Handlebar electric grip warmers Linked front and rear brakes with ABS (K-ACT) Shaft drive with Tetra-lever suspension Hydraulically actuated variable valve timing Back-torque limiter slipper clutch 12 INSTRUMENTS Multi-function LCD digital display includes a fuel gauge and trip computer showing consumption and cruising range plus odometer, twin trip meters, gear position indicator, coolant temperature gauge plus battery voltage readings and clock. Detachable panniers Rated at 35 litres capacity each, the two lockable and waterresistant colour-coded panniers are easily detachable, have fold out handles and can hold a full-face helmet. Electronic screen The handlebar switch operated electronic screen is high and wide at the top to direct wind away from the rider. It also features a favourite position memory function. Heated handlebar grips Adjusted easily with gloved hands via a convenient dial, these thermostatically controlled heated rider hand grips make light of even the coldest conditions. 12V Power Outlet Power when you need it. The ZZR has a convenient dashboard mounted 12V standard type connector for electrical accessories such as satellite navigation systems.

8 With an engine based on the legendary ZZR1400 and a chassis that uses state of the art monocoque technology, the 1400GTR WITH KTRC TRACTION CONTROL is a technologically advanced and sophisticated sporting tourer. Reassuring yet stimulating to ride, it s an engaging and reliable devourer of distance. VARIABLE VALVE TIMING First in class with VVT delivering high torque at low and medium-rpm with plenty of power at high-rpm via Variable Valve Timing. As engine speed rises, the oil pressure increases in the vanes of the cam end chamber and the cam timing is advanced for greater power. As pressure reduced so cam timing is retarded for greater torque. 14 COMBINED BRAKING SYSTEM Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT) ABS is a combined braking system that incorporates an anti-lock braking and is designed to complement the rider s braking force distributing braking effectively and safely. With its own ECU, the K-ACT system ensures that rear brake pedal force operates the single rear disc and one front brake caliper. REAR SUSPENSION PRE-LOAD When a heavy luggage load or passenger is carried the rider may wish to increase the rear suspension pre-load. This is easily done via a remote adjuster near the passenger footrest using a knurled boss. TETRA-LEVER Unique Tetra-lever suspension linkage system ensures that torque reaction and tendency for suspension to extend under acceleration is eliminated from the drivetrain for the most neutral ride characteristics.
