NEW COLORS AND CLUTCH
FOR KAWASAKI'S NINJA1000
K
awasaki's Ninja 1000 sport
touring weapon is due to get
a fresh coat of paint and a slip-
per clutch for the 2016 model
year.
The new clutch comes from
Japanese tuning heroes F.C.C
(more famous for the F.C.C race
team that finished second in
this year's Suzuka 8 Hour), with
Kawasaki claiming the clutch is
30 percent lighter at the lever
thanks to the reduced spring
load, something long distance
riders are going to love.
There are also new Lime
Candy Green and Candy
Plasma Blue color schemes in
the works, but it's not yet clear
which ones will be making it to
the U.S. CN

The Ninja 1000 (dubbed the Z1000SX in other markets) comes with a striking new blue color scheme for 2016!
