ESPECIFICACIONES DEL MODELO

KTRC, Kawasaki's advanced traction control system provides both enhanced sport riding performance and the confidence to negotiate low-traction surfaces. Multiple rider-selectable modes (the number of modes varies by model) offer progressively greater levels of intrusion to suit the riding situation and rider preference.

Less intrusive modes maintain optimum traction during cornering. Designed with sport riding in mind, they facilitate acceleration out of corners by maximising forward drive from the rear wheel. And because Kawasaki’s sophisticated software bases its dynamic analysis on the chassis’ orientation relative to the track surface (rather than relative to a horizontal plane), it is able to take into account corner camber, gradient, etc, and adapt accordingly.

In the more intrusive modes (and for some models, in any mode), when excessive wheel spin is detected, engine output is reduced to allow grip to be regained, effectively enabling riders to negotiate both short, challenging patches (train tracks or manhole covers) and extended stretches of low-traction conditions (wet pavement, cobblestone, gravel) with confidence.

Some models equipped with IMU incorporate chassis-orientation feedback to offer even more precise management.

For off-road models, KTRC facilitates acceleration out of corners by mitigating excessive rear wheel spin in low-traction conditions. Multiple modes allow riders to set the level of traction control to suit preference or course conditions. 

In motocross racing, getting a good start is critical: a few tenths of a second can make the difference between getting the holeshot or not. In low-traction conditions, getting the maximum drive from a motocrosser requires precise control of the both the clutch and throttle.

Launch Control Mode helps riders get a good start by complementing high-level technique with engine management. Featured on a mass-production motocrosser for the first time on Kawasaki's 2012 KX450F and now a standard feature on most full-size KX models, the system activates a separate set of maps designed to get a more efficient start off the line. The system is similar to that used by our factory racers competing in the AMA Supercross and Motocross championships.

Launch Control Mode is activated using buttons on the handlebar. It uses dedicated KTRC, ignition and fuel maps to provide optimum control to maximise tyre grip, providing the support to help riders get strong race starts. Launch Control Mode is only active in the first two gears after the launch, disengaging and returning to the standard engine map automatically once the rider shifts into 3rd gear.

Models equipped with multiple Power Modes offer riders an easily selectable choice of engine power delivery to suit riding conditions or preference. The number of modes vary by model, as do the types of modes available. Some modes limit maximum power, while others offer milder (or sharper) throttle response. Other modes cater to specific riding or driving situations.

La aplicación RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX2 de Kawasaki pone en la palma de tu mano nuevas funciones, capacidades de ajuste mejoradas y más información que nunca. Esta nueva aplicación (que no es una actualización de la versión anterior) utiliza una conexión con una unidad GPS integrada para ofrecer funciones adicionales de registro de recorridos, lo que permite disfrutar de una experiencia de otro nivel que puede ayudar a mejorar los tiempos por vuelta y a ajustar con precisión el rendimiento de las motocicletas KX compatibles. 
 
RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX™2 ofrece una interfaz intuitiva que permite a los motociclistas programar las funciones a las que se accede mediante los botones del manillar, como el control de tracción (Traction Control), los mapas de motor (Engine Maps) y el control de salida (Launch Control). El ajuste del motor comienza cuando los pilotos eligen entre cinco mapas predefinidos. Para un ajuste avanzado, el piloto puede modificar cada mapa a su gusto. El control de tracción y el control de salida también se pueden preseleccionar y ajustar en la aplicación, de modo que los pilotos puedan acceder fácilmente a estos modos con solo pulsar un botón en la pista. 
 
Gracias a la información adicional que proporciona una unidad GPS situada en el guardabarros delantero, la aplicación RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX™2 cuenta con funciones de registro de recorridos que permiten a los pilotos crear mapas de rutas y analizar su rendimiento. La aplicación también registra los datos de conducción, lo que permite a los motociclistas revisar su rendimiento al volante, incluyendo la marcha seleccionada, las revoluciones del motor y la posición del acelerador. Además, una función de monitorización en tiempo real permite consultar estos parámetros en la aplicación, junto con la temperatura del líquido refrigerante, la temperatura de admisión, la tensión de la batería y los modos preestablecidos. 
 
La función de contador de horas está conectada a la ECU para ofrecer prácticos recordatorios de mantenimiento, y hay disponible una nueva guía informativa con consejos sobre la selección de los mapas del motor y la configuración de la suspensión. 
 
RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX™2 lleva la puesta a punto y el control a un nuevo nivel. Gracias a su interfaz intuitiva y a la Guía de información integrada en la aplicación, ahora es más fácil que nunca poner a punto tu moto KX y mejorar tus tiempos por vuelta.

Originally offered on Kawasaki’s on-road motorcycles, clever technology enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience. Vehicle information (such as the odometer, fuel gauge, maintenance schedule, etc) can be viewed on the smartphone. Riding logs (varies by model, but may include GPS route, gear position, rpm, and other information) can be viewed on the smartphone and shared with other app users. When connected, telephone (call, mail) notices are displayed on the instrument panel. Riders can also make changes to their motorcycle’s instrument display settings (preferred units, clock and date setting, etc) via the smartphone. On select models, features like Navigation and Voice Command are also supported. And on certain models, it is even possible to check and adjust vehicle settings (such as Rider Mode, electronic rider support features, and payload settings) using the smartphone.

On KX competition motorcycles with smartphone connectivity, riders can use the application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX” to adjust their bike’s engine maps. Real-time Engine Monitoring, and Maintenance and Setup Logs are also available. For KX models equipped with GPS, “RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX2” offers additional functions like Trip Logs that riders can use to create track maps and analyse their performance. Traction Control Selection and Launch Control Selection allow riders to set and fine-tune these functions from the smartphone.

For side x sides, all-terrain vehicles and personal watercraft, “RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS” contributes to an enhanced off-roading or on-water experience. In addition to Trip Log recording and sharing, and vehicle management and maintenance support functions similar to those offered for on-road motorcycles, functions unique to off-road four-wheelers and personal watercraft are also available. Group Ride enables group members to view each other’s locations on an in-app map on the smartphone. Geofence functionality alerts app users of no-entry and other zones. For select personal watercraft, RIDEOLOGY THE APP POWERSPORTS can also share person-overboard information with nearby app users.

Feature availability and functionality vary by model and application. For more information, please refer to the Kawasaki Connect web site.
