COMFORT & STYLEALL-DAY RIDING COMFORT
A slim, upright riding position offers maximum comfort for rides of any length. A short-style fuel tank positions the rider closer to the front wheel for increased controllability and offers a greater choice of forward-rearward sitting positions. Complementing the wide handlebar, the footpegs are positioned low and slightly forward of the seat, offering a relaxed position while also enabling sporty riding. The seat’s slim design in addition to the knee grip characteristics of the fuel tank afford freedom of movement, allowing the riders to change sitting position if needed. The stepped shape of the 2-piece seat also provides support for the rider when accelerating.

HIGH-TECHTAKE CONTROL
Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) features 2 modes that allow riders to adjust settings to suit the riding situation and rider preference. Mode 1, the least intrusive, helps to manage traction during cornering. In Mode 2, intervention occurs earlier. When excessive wheelspin is detected, engine output is reduced to allow grip to be regained. Riders may also elect to turn the system off.
