BUILT TO BE SEEN
POWERFUL, RIDER-FRIENDLY PARALLEL TWIN
The engine's strong performance is thanks to its downdraft intake and large airbox, which improve efficiency. It also offers a rider-friendly experience, with a smooth response and ample low-end torque for easy throttle control.
ASSIST & SLIPPER
A compact clutch assists with a light feel at the lever and a wide engagement range for confident control. A back-torque limiting slipper function helps prevent rear-wheel hop when downshifting.
HEAT MANAGEMENT
Innovative Kawasaki technology, like the patented radiator fan cover located behind the radiator, directs hot air out to the sides away from the rider, contributing to rider comfort.
LIGHTWEIGHT TRELLIS FRAME
The Z400 features a trellis frame similar in design to that of the Ninja H2. Kawasaki`s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis was used to ensure optimum rigidity with light weight.
PLANTED FEEL. PLUSH RIDE.
A 41-mm telescopic fork is excellent for suspension. The front wheel feels planted; easy direction changes. Overall suspension feels plush like a larger bike. In the back, 5-way preload adjustability allows riders to tailor stiffness and ride height for body weight or two-up riding.
LARGE-DIAMETER BRAKE DISC
Measuring ø310 mm, the Z400’s semi-floating front disc offers sure stopping power. A rigid front brake master cylinder helps eliminate ineffective (idle) stroke, contributing to controllability, while carefully selected brake hose dimensions and material contribute to brake touch.
ERGONOMICS FOR ACTIVE CONTROL
The relaxed rider triangle accommodates a wide range of rider sizes and riding situations. The relatively upright riding position and wide handlebar put the rider in the ideal position for active control, facilitating dynamic, sporty riding.
SHARP DESIGN AND LED HEADLIGHT
The angular design of the front cowl is complemented by a compact, dark-meter visor that adds to the aggressive look. The bright LED headlight further adds to the sharp look.
HIGH-GRADE COCKPIT
Stacked instrument cluster features a clean and easy-to-read analogue-style tachometer and a multi-function LCD screen with gear position indicator fuel and temp gauges, economical riding indicator and more.
