The engine was bumped from 953 cc to one,043 cc for the third generation in 2010, and this refashion receives minor changes to the engine and new styling. although identical size because the previous model, the 1,043 cc inline-four has been reworked with a brand new intake rotating shaft, new airbox, new ECU, and taller rate stacks. These changes bump power to 142 power unit at ten,000 rev (up from 136 power unit at nine,600 rpm) and eighty one.7 foot-pounds of torsion at seven,300 rev (up from eighty one foot-pounds at seven,800 rpm). 

The Z1000 uses a twin-spar Al frame, that comes from the one on the Ninja a thousand. It’s solid as one unit with a swingarm pivot to eliminate the necessity for welds. The engine, that is employed as a stressed member, is locked to the border 3 places and rubber mounted at the rear of the higher housing. Kawasaki has stayed before its Japanese competitors within the evolution of front suspension. The Z1000 uses a Showa totally adjustable forty one millimetre inverted Separate operate Fork – massive Piston (SFF-BP). This style makes front suspension changes easier, even whereas you are out on a ride. Stepless compression and rebound damping area unit adjusted on one fork leg, and spring preload is adjusted on the opposite. Rear suspension is handled by a horizontal back-link rear shock, that is adjustable for rebound damping and preload, and is found off from the presumably performance-degrading exhaust heat. the location conjointly centralizes shock mass for higher overall bike balance.

The Z1000 carries commonplace ABS monobloc front calipers that mate with 310 millimetre wave-type rotors, ten millimetre larger in diameter than those on the Z’s full-fairing full cousin, the Ninja a thousand.
