2008 NINJA ZX-10R

KAWASAKI'S 2008 NINJA® ZX™-10R SUPERBIKE IS POISED FOR COMPETITION

Factory superbike talent in a street savvy performer

Professional riders know it's useless to have the most power if you can't get it to the ground. The 2008 Ninja ZX-10R employs the new Kawasaki Ignition Management System (KIMS) to aid with that essential power delivery precision, thus ensuring smooth throttle response without sudden spikes in engine speed and protecting the engine and catalyzers from damage. It does this by monitoring the standard FI system input data (engine speed, throttle position, vehicle speed, gear position and feedback from intake air temperature, intake air pressure, engine temperature and O2 sensors), and checking every 0.02 seconds for any sudden changes in RPM. The KIMS doesn't interfere with normal operation and still allows the engine to rev freely under typical riding conditions.
