Features

Chassis Management Technology

  • ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM): Kawasaki ABS systems use front and rear wheel sensors to constantly monitor wheel speed. Should information from either of the sensors indicate that wheel lock has occurred, the ABS ECU directs the pump in the ABS unit to modulate brake fluid pressure (releasing and reapplying pressure so that traction can be regained) until normal operation resumes. ABS offers rider reassurance that contributes to greater riding enjoyment.
  • ERGO-FIT®: Proper fit is key for rider comfort and control. However, the ideal fit varies from rider to rider, depending on their physical dimensions and riding style. ERGO-FIT® is an interface system designed to allow riders to find their ideal riding position. Various points of the chassis interface (the handlebar, footpegs and seat, etc.) can be adjusted through a combination of interchangeable parts and parts with adjustable positions. This enables a wide range of riders to find a riding position that offers both comfort and control. Feeling at one with their machine, they will be able to experience how Kawasaki machines are fun and rewarding to ride. *Adjustable parts and their range of adjustability vary by model.

Engine Management Technology

  • ECONOMICAL RIDING INDICATOR: Using high-precision electronic control for engine management, Kawasaki models can achieve a high level of fuel efficiency. However, fuel consumption is greatly affected by throttle use, gear selection, and other elements under the rider's control. The Economical Riding Indicator is a function that indicates when current riding conditions are consuming a low amount of fuel. The system continuously monitors fuel consumption, regardless of vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position and other riding conditions. When fuel consumption is low for a given speed (i.e. fuel efficiency is high), an "ECO" mark appears on the instrument panel's LCD screen. By riding so that the "ECO" mark remains on, fuel consumption can be reduced. While effective vehicle speed and engine speed may vary by model, paying attention to conditions that cause the "ECO" mark to appear can help riders improve their fuel efficiency – a handy way to increase cruising range. Further, keeping fuel consumption low also helps minimize negative impact on the environment.

Ergonomics

  • COMFORT IN EVERY DETAIL: The upright riding position, low seat height and wide handlebar put the rider in the ideal position for active control, facilitating dynamic, sporty riding.
  • COMFORTABLE & SPORTY: Sporty aluminum footpegs offer direct feel and are positioned slightly forward, offering a comfortable riding position and clear reach to the ground at stops.
  • BALANCED & WIDE: The wide handlebar adds leverage for dynamic control and contributes to easy maneuverability.

Handling

  • AGILE & PRECISE: The Z400 ABS motorcycle was built to deliver light, predictable and natural handling for a confident riding experience.
  • SPORTY & STYLISH: Stylish star-pattern 5-spoke wheels contribute to the Z400 ABS motorcycle’s light weight and feature optimized lateral rigidity that benefits cornering and overall handling.
  • FULLY ADJUSTABLE: 5-way preload adjustability lets riders adjust the stiffness and ride height to suit body weight or when riding two-up.
  • REFINED & RESPONSIVE: Plush suspension comes thanks to a 41mm telescopic front fork that’s tuned to provide progressive damping with a high level of feedback to the rider and responsive performance.
  • SUPERB STOPPING POWER: Gripped by a balanced actuation dual-piston caliper, the Z400 ABS motorcycle boasts a large 310 mm semi-floating petal front disc. Nissin’s ABS control unit is compact and lightweight, delivering precise control to help prevent wheel lockup under extreme braking.

Power& Performance

  • PREDATORY INSTINCT: A fierce, lightweight supernaked built for the streets.
  • LEGENDARY SPORT PERFORMANCE: Exciting power, smooth response and abundant low-end torque is produced by the same class-leading parallel-twin engine of the Ninja® 400 sportbike.
  • 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.

Z Styling

  • ALL EYES ON YOU: Taking cues from its Z brethren, the unmistakable streetfighter styling complements an aggressive attitude.
  • AGGRESSIVE & AGILE: Edgy, minimalist bodywork is influenced by Sugomi™, a design that inspires sharp styling, dynamic performance and a distinct silhouette.
  • SPORTY DESIGN: The angular design of the front cowl is complemented by a compact, dark meter visor that adds to the aggressive looks.
  • LIGHT UP THE PATH: Quad LED headlamp is highly visible and offers significant brightness and a wide illuminated path.
  • EXPOSED TRELLIS FRAME: Similar in design to that of the Ninja H2™, the trellis frame design adds to the technical and lightweight image in distinct supernaked style while delivering a balanced riding experience for light and easy maneuvering with excellent capability at highway speeds.
  • HIGH-GRADE & MODERN: Stacked instrument cluster features a clean and easy-to-read analog tachometer and multi-function LCD screen with gear position indicator fuel and temp gauges, economical riding indicator and more.
