New Ninja ZX-6R . . . Are You Ready To Go To The Next Level?
An evolution of the 2007 Ninja ZX-6R, the 2009 model 6R takes the performance of its track-oriented predecessor to a higher level. Development of the rider active package focused on offering riders more precise control. Changes to engine and chassis for enhanced controllability result in a confidence-inspiring character that enables a calm assuredness as high-level riding is pursued. And it is this ability to push harder – to be able to extract this bike’s full potential – while firmly retaining control that makes the new Ninja ZX-6R so exciting to ride.
2009 Ninja ZX-6R - Precise Control for Maximum Excitement
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
 |
New Dynamic Chassis
One of the goals for the 2009 ZX-6R was to give the new bike lighter handling. The superb combination of mid-corner stability and ability to change lines on command was maintained from the previous model, but frame rigidity was revised and mass further centralised to make the new ZX-6R even easier to tip into corners. | |
 |
Improved Aerodynamics
A new cowling offers riders better wind protection and was designed to better withstand side winds. Intake ducts at the lower front fairings direct cool air into the engine compartment, contributing to more effective heat dissipation from the engine and radiator. | |
 |
Track-Optimised Clutch
Designed for maximum on-track performance, the multi-disc wet clutch features a back-torque limiter to help reduce the rear-wheel hop that can occur when down-shifting at high rpm. | |
 |
New Short Side Muffler
New exhaust layout with a short side muffler lowers weight previously located under the seat, contributing to a much lighter feel when turning in. Use of a prechamber further contributes to mass centralisation.
| |
 |
Racing Style Instrument Panel
Similar in design to that of the ZX1000E, the new instrument panel gives at a glance information to the rider. Functions include odometer, trip meter, coolant temperature, clock, lap timer and lap counter and fuel injection, oil pressure and immobiliser warning lamps. | |
 |
Improved Riding Position
The seat-pegs-bar relationship was adjusted slightly, with the handlebars moved closer to the rider and turned in slightly. The naturally aggressive ergonomics package was fine tuned to offer riders an even better “fit” and to enhance the high level feedback that communicates to the rider what the bike is doing. | |
 |
Improved High Torgue Engine
Engine development focused as much on controllability as performance gain. Throttle response is silky smooth, delivering precise control at all rpm. While the high-rpm performance of the previous model is maintained, powerful mid-range torque means stronger drive out of corners.
| |
 |
New Ohlins Steering Damper
An adjustable Ohlins steering damper with relief valve and twin tube design is fitted as standard equipment. The second tube, which acts like a reservoir tank, and the damper internals, ensure stable damping performance. Even if the damping fluid gets hot it will not froth. |
|
 |
Fuel System
Longer throttle bodies increase the distance between the oval sub-throttles and round main throttles resulting in smoother airflow and better driveability. Cylindrical guides added to the top of the air cleaner box ensure more accurately sprayed fuel mist from the secondary injectors for improved combustion efficiency. New double bore intake funnels feature inlets at two different heights, allowing performance increases in both the mid and high-rpm ranges.
| |
 |
Serious Braking Performance
The front radial mount calipers have individual front brake pads for each piston to prevent pad deformation due to heat. Petal shaped discs are lighter and able to withstand higher temperatures without warping. Radial action front master cylinder delivers impressive stopping performance and feel. | |
 |
New Showa Big Piston Front Fork (BPF)
Showa’s Big Piston Fork (BPF) is used for the first time on a Kawasaki. The new BPF is one of the main contributing factors to the great composure under braking. Compared to a cartridge type fork of the same size, the BPF features a piston that is almost twice as big.
