This compact and lightweight system helps increase rider confidence and helps provide additional security in slippery situationsKTRC traction-control system features three different modes for varying conditions and is controlled by a handy switch assembly on the left handlebarSlipper clutch assembly controls rear-wheel torque effects while braking and downshiftingExhaust system features tapered head pipes, a catalyzer and an efficient muffler assembly for low noise and emissionsAluminum monocoque frame is narrow, strong and rigid for impressive sport riding performanceAluminum swingarm assembly is longer than traditional designs and features strengthening gussets to cope with the engine’s substantial torqueSupersport bodywork package builds upon the slick aesthetic image of the previous machine, includes a rear seat cowl and adds better air management to the mix for improved rider and passenger comfortAll-new 10-spoke wheels are more than 3 pounds lighter in total than the previous machine’s units; this reduces unsprung weight, which aids handling and maneuverabilityNew disc material and pads improve the 14R’s radial-mount braking systemRevised suspension settings front and rear add wheel control and compliance to an already plush rideHigher overall finish quality than before, including hidden bodywork fasteners 1,441cc Four-cylinder Liquid-cooled DOHC Engine:Long-stroke design, ported cylinder heads, lightweight forged pistons, and aggressive camshaft profiles provide more torque and power throughout the rev range than any other production sportbikePiston jet system sprays a continuous stream of cooling lubrication to the underside of each piston for cooler running temperatures, more consistent power output and excellent long-term durabilityStrong cam chain and tensioning system offers excellent high-rpm durabilityThick 40mm crankshaft main journals contribute to long-term engine durabilitySurface and heat treatments allow the transmission gears to better harness the engine’s prodigious power outputChrome composite-plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and effectively transfer heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for maximum durability at high power outputsMechanical noise is kept to a minimum via special piston profiles and a urethane insulation sheet on the inside of the magnesium chain cover High-flow Exhaust System:Header assembly has tapered-diameter pipes for optimal engine response and power outputThe internal construction of the dual mufflers minimizes the impact of noise and emissions regulations, while maintaining impressive top-end powerAirflow directed into the exhaust by the large secondary air ports in the cylinder head and head cover, plus a third honeycomb catalyzer in the exhaust collector, help meet strict Euro III emissions standards Gear-driven Dual Engine Balancers:Revised balance weights keep the newly dimensioned engine (more stroke) in ideal balance, resulting in improved comfort for riders and passengersAlready in perfect primary balance, the ZX-14R’s engine design features dual secondary balancers that virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth operation and reduced rider fatigue Ram Air Induction:Central ram air duct in the newly shaped fairing draws cooler, higher-pressure air from the face of the fairing and efficiently guides it through the larger and more efficient air cleaner and into the reworked engine for maximum power output Digital Fuel Injection:DFI throttle body assembly features individual 44mm throttle bodies fitted with an idle speed control and sub-throttle valves controlled by the 32-bit ECU. They provide precise response, smooth performance, automatic idle speed adjustment, and help the bike meet strict Euro III emissions requirementsHigh performance intake tract porting optimizes flow characteristicsFuel injectors deliver lateral spray at a 20-degree angle to disperse the finely atomized (75-micron droplet size) fuel over a wide area Dual-Mode Digital Ignition: Rider selectable High & Low maps offer a choice between full power and approximately 50 percent power output to help suit changing conditionsDigital Timing Advance enhances low- and mid-range powerIndividual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the four spark plugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinderECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-up KTRC Traction Control:KTRC traction-control system features three different selectable modes to suit rider preference and different riding conditionsModes are selected by a handy switch assembly on the left handlebarModes are indicated on the LCD cockpit display Back-Torque Limiting “Slipper” Clutch: Back-torque limiting “slipper” clutch assembly helps control rear-wheel torque effects while downshifting or coasting to minimize wheel hop, chatter and reduce rider stressRadial-pump hydraulic clutch master cylinder offers smooth and precise engagement and optimal feel at the lever ABS Disc Brakes with Petal-type Rotors and Radial-Mount Calipers:ABS brakes offer excellent performance and enhanced confidence in adverse conditionsCompact, lightweight ABS unit is highly effective without weighing the bike downPetal-type brake rotors provide better cooling and enhanced warp resistance than traditional discsRadial mounted four-piston front brake calipers offer greater rigidity than traditional caliper mounting to improve brake feelA separate brake pad is used for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming so they maintain a consistent brake feel longerRadial-pump front brake master cylinder provides excellent lever feel and feedback Monocoque Aluminum Frame:Lightweight monocoque frame is a hollow aluminum box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swingarm pivot. It is narrow, strong, rigid and very lightMany of the frame’s cast aluminum sections – steering head and swingarm pivot areas – are produced via a die-casting process for weight savingsRigidly mounted engine is a stressed frame member, which increases the frame’s torsional rigidity and saves weight vs. traditional designsEngine is positioned forward in the frame, with the long wheelbase and front/rear weight balance carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive handlingLong swingarm design helps maximize forward drive and is gusseted to better cope with the engine’s healthy torque outputMassive head pipe casting contributes to frame rigidityFrame houses the air box and air filter in a space-saving design that simplifies air cleaner maintenanceBattery is also housed within the frame and is easily accessible through an aluminum frame cover Comfortable Sporting Suspension:Inverted and multi-adjustable 43mm cartridge-type fork provides excellent wheel control and without sacrificing ride comfortStepless damping adjustment allows ultra-precise tuning of fork reactionsFully adjustable bottom-link Uni-Trak rear suspension is a compact design that offers premium control and feedbackLinkage rates designed to allow linear suspension action and excellent wheel controlBottom-link design helps create a lower center of gravity, which makes the motorcycle more nimble Aggressive Supersport Bodywork:Monocoque frame is positioned over the engine so the sleek fairing is uninterrupted by protruding frame spars, adding to the extremely long and low stylingEfficient fairing venting offers excellent engine-heat control to help maintain rider and passenger comfort on hot daysStandard rear-seat cowl adds aesthetic appealBoth the front and rear turn signals are integrated into the bodywork and have clear lenses to enhance for a more modern appearanceQuadruple projector beam headlights give the ZX-14R a distinctive look.
