T
he Kawasaki ZX-
6R returns with
notable updates
for 2024. The engine is
a recipient of some of
those updates. Its 636cc
inline four-cylinder DOHC
engine features new cam
profiles, intake funnels
and head-and-collector
pipe layout. The new cam
profiles are said to "ben-
efit low-rpm performance
and help to meet stricter
emission regulations."
There are new inte-
grated riding modes.
All-inclusive modes
that combine KTRC and
Power Mode settings
allow riders to easily
set traction control and
power delivery. Rid-
ers can choose from
three settings (sport,
road, rain) or a manual
setting (rider). In the
manual "rider" mode,
each of the systems can
be set independently.
The new ZX-6R is
also fitted with new dual
310mm front disc brakes
with dual radial-mounted
four-piston monobloc
calipers. The ABS system
has been updated, as
well. The ZX-6R gets new
rubber, Pirelli's Diablo
Rosso IV tires.
In the cockpit, you'll
find all-new TFT color
instrumentation with
selectable background
colors (black or white)
and three automatic
screen brightness levels.
The bike is also fitted
with new smartphone
connectivity.
The ZX-6R has some
new styling cues inspired
by its Ninja ZX-10R
brother, which includes
a new front cowling, LED
headlights and turn sig
-
nals, windshield and 3D
interwoven bodywork.
You have four variants
from which to choose:
the ZX-6R ($11,299), ZX-
6R KRT Edition ($11,299),
ZX-6R ABS ($12,299) and
ZX-6R ABS KRT Edition
($12,299). Availability:
June 2023.
