The Z900 chassis is lightweight, narrow and features a strengthened swingarm pivot area. Front and rear suspension settings are designed to match the frame. Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires—made of high-performance rubber—boost handling and provide optimum grip.

The ø41 mm inverted front fork with adjustable rebound damping and spring preload is responsive and progressive for confident handling with a high level of feedback. On the SE model, the higher-grade front fork also includes adjustable compression damping.

The Horizontal Back-link rear suspension with adjustable spring preload and stepless rebound damping contributes to a high level of handling response, ride comfort and rear wheel traction. On the SE model, Öhlins S46 rear shock with a remote preload adjuster contributes to a suppler ride feel.

The Z900 features short gearing for quicker shifts and exhilarating acceleration in urban environments and backroads.

An Assist & Slipper Clutch provides a lighter feel at the lever and a back-torque limiting function that helps prevent rear-wheel hop during more aggressive downshifts.

ø300 mm Brembo front discs, M4.32 radial-mount monobloc calipers and pads complemented by a Nissin radial-pump master cylinder and steel-braided lines deliver greater stopping power and offer a linear progression that facilitates precise control.

Built with symmetry and balance in mind, the seamlessly-integrated front cowl, windscreen and meter impresses with clean, precise design.

The LED headlight, taillight, position lamps, license plate lamp and bulb-type turn signals are aggressively designed and unmistakable.

4.3-inch all-digital TFT (thin-film transistor) colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance and visibility. The screen’s background colour is selectable (black or white), and screen brightness adjusts automatically to suit available light.

The flat handlebar is wide to provide ideal leverage for higher-speed cornering and low-speed manoeuvring in the city and confined environments.

The relationship between pegs, seat and handlebars was designed to enhance communication between rider and machine, giving the rider a confidence-inspiring feeling of control that complements its agile handling.

Intake sound is accentuated to enhance the sensation of acceleration. The engine “inhales” in response to opening the throttle.

Set power delivery to Full Power or limit output (to 55%) with Low Power mode for enhanced manageability, giving you the extra control you need.

Riding modes combine KTRC settings and Power Modes to optimise your riding experience, adapting to conditions and preferences. Select between Sport, Road, Rain or Manual and tailor the trip to a variety of situations.
