Kawasaki Traction ControlThe 2012 1400GTR ABS features KTRC, Kawasaki's traction control system, giving riders the piece of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence. The system looks for difference in front and rear wheel speed. When rear wheel spin is detected, engine output is controlled to allow the rear wheel to regain grip. Grip WarmersStepless adjustable grip warmers are fitted standard to the 2012 1400GTR ABS. The switch is located close to the driver for easy access. |

Tetra-Lever SuspensionThe Tetra-Lever rear suspension is supported at four points on the left and right side and mounts to Kawasaki’s unique Uni-Trak suspension system. This system almost completely eliminates the up/down movement associated with shaft drives during acceleration and deceleration, resulting in a very natural ride feel. |
Variable Valve TimingA first in the touring category, variable valve timing alters the camshaft timing in response to rpm and throttle position. The result is high torque output in the low and medium rpm ranges and awesome high-rpm power at the top end. Combustion efficiency is also improved, contributing to enhanced fuel efficiency. |
K-ACT ABSK-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS enables riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement rider's applied brake force, K-ACT ABS ensures ideal brake force distribution to maximise braking efficiency. Heat ProtectionThe side and centre cowlings on the 2012 1400GTR ABS are designed to dissipate hot air quickly. The result is increased rider comfort. |

KI-PASS Keyless IgnitionKIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System) is a master key system that allows remote activation of the bike’s main switch. The 1400GTR implemented the first application of an electronic authorisation system to a touring machine and greatly enhances rider convenience as well as security, thanks to the incorporation of an ignition immobiliser. |
Generous Wind ProtectionThe 1400GTR ABS comes equipped with an electrically adjustable windscreen as standard. The windscreen’s height allows air passing over the top of the screen to flow smoothly around the rider’s helmet. The wide top portion of the screen results in less wind striking the rider’s shoulders and upper arms. There are also four preset positions from which the rider can choose. |
