Get Quickshifters for Seamless Shifting in the UK

Get Quickshifters for Seamless Shifting in the UK On the off chance that you're a motorbike lover in the UK, you know that it is so essential to keep things smooth, whether you're destroying it on a track or simply cruising through the open country. One thing that can genuinely step up your riding experience is adding a quick-shifter to your motorbike. Disregard continually utilizing the grasp - with a quick-shifter, you can change gears consistently, making your ride smoother, faster, and more pleasant. We should plunge into why quick shifters are turning into an unquestionable requirement for motorcyclists in the UK and how they can have a major effect on your riding.

What’s a Quickshifter? In basic terms, a speedy shifter is a clever piece of tech that permits you to switch gears on your motorbike without utilizing the grip. Typically, changing gears includes pulling in the grips, switching gears, and letting the grip out once more. With a speedy shifter, it's a different situation. The system briefly cuts the motor's power, so the cog wheels can open into place without you expecting to contact the grips.

It’s especially popular on sportier bikes, but that doesn’t mean you need to own a race bike to get in on the action. Quickshifters can be installed on pretty much any motorbike, and they’ve become super popular with riders all over the UK who want a faster, smoother ride.

Why Do Motorcyclists in the UK Love Quickshifters? Shift Faster and Smarter If you’re into performance riding, whether that’s on a track or just pushing your motorbike to the limits, you’ll notice a big difference with a quickshifter. Gear changes happen faster than ever, which means no more lag between shifts. That translates to quicker acceleration and better control, especially when you're trying to keep up with traffic or take those tight corners. For UK riders who love a bit of speed, it’s a game-changer.

No More Clutch Fatigue Anyone who’s spent a long day on the bike in stop-and-go traffic knows how tiring the clutch can get. Continually pulling in and allowing out the clutch can strain your hand and wrist, particularly on longer rides. With a speedy shifter, you can move all over without contacting the grips, making your rides substantially more loose and agreeable. Whether you're driving through the bustling roads of London or cruising through the open country, your hands and wrists will be much obliged.

Perfect Control Every Time At any point missed a chance while riding and wound up caught in some unacceptable gear? It tends to be baffling, particularly while you're riding in rush hour gridlock or need to take a fast action. Quickshifters give you more command over your gear changes, meaning you won't wind up bumbling around for the right stuff at some unacceptable time. The smoother shifts give you that extra confidence on the road, no matter where you’re riding in the UK.

Less Wear and Tear on Your Clutch If you use your clutchless, it’s going to last longer. Simple as that. Quickshifters reduce the wear and tear on your clutch, which means fewer trips to the mechanic to replace worn-out parts. It’s a win for your wallet and your bike, especially if you're a regular rider in the UK.

Better Fuel Efficiency Believe it or not, quick shifters can even improve your fuel efficiency. By making gear changes smoother, your bike’s engine can work more efficiently, and you’ll burn less fuel. For anyone who’s concerned about petrol prices in the UK (and who isn’t?), a quick shifter might just help stretch that fuel tank a little further.

Quickshifters Are Getting More Popular in the UK If you’ve been paying attention to the motorbike scene in the UK lately, you’ve probably noticed that quick shifters are becoming pretty common. They're not just for racers anymore – everyday riders are catching on to the benefits, too. Whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who uses your bike for daily commuting, these systems are making a big impact.

There’s a huge variety of quick shifters available in the UK, from basic models to top-of-the-line systems. Loads of UK-based motorbike shops are now offering quick shifters and retrofitting options, so it’s easier than ever to get one for your motorbike, no matter the make or model.

Choosing the Right Quickshifter in the UK When it comes to picking the right quick shifter for your motorbike, it’s important to consider your bike’s make and model. Not all quick shifters are created equal, and a system that works for one bike might not be compatible with another. Luckily, loads of experts in the UK can help you choose the best option for your ride.

Some modern motorbikes already come with quick shifters as standard, but if you’re riding an older model or a bike that doesn’t have one, you can usually find an aftermarket kit that will fit. Most motorbike shops in the UK will also help with installation, so you don’t need to worry about figuring it out yourself.

Final Thoughts If you’re tired of the usual clutch-and-gear routine and want to enjoy a smoother, faster ride, then a quick shifter might be exactly what you need. With their growing popularity in the UK, now’s the perfect time to check out what’s on offer. Whether you’re looking to up your performance on the track or simply make your everyday rides a little more comfortable, a quick shifter could be just the thing you’re after.

So, what are you waiting for? Get yourself a quickshifter and enjoy seamless shifting every time you ride in the UK!

MA70

3L Zero Yon specification MA70 Supra where you can enjoy the powerful acceleration of the big turbine

The MA70 Supra was popular as a pioneer of high-power sports. That's not an unusual number these days, but at the time, the 7M with the 3L turbo was easily over 300 horsepower even in a light tune with only boost up, and if you replaced the turbine, it could easily reach 400 horsepower. It was a great addition to the Zero Yon and the fastest attackers. This Supra is also one of those classic tunes, and although it doesn't have flashy aero equipment, the inside is finished to exact zero-yon specifications.

Replaced the turbine with Garrett's T04E and combined with a custom-made special intercooler to support high boost. The reinforced clutch and wide rear 265/40 tires absorb the power. When you actually step on the accelerator, the acceleration is impressive. The moment you step on the pedal, you feel a momentary slump as the torque builds up, but once you reach over 4000 rpm, the power suddenly explodes and you accelerate with great speed. In the rain, even with the 265 Advan tyres , the wheels would spin easily.

The suspension is equipped with TEIN coilovers and pillow uppers, allowing for a wide range of settings. One of the attractions of this car is that you can have fun swinging the car around with the LSD set to a high initial. 3L turbo cars are common these days, but considering the price of 1,380,000 yen, even though it's a used car, it's still a valuable choice for a lonely runner with a deep pocket.

It's a car that exists.

PIC CAPTIONS

●Additional meters include a boost gauge on the column and an exhaust temperature gauge and oil pressure gauge on the front pillar. Not only is it highly visible, but the trust meter panel fits comfortably.

-The suspension is equipped with Tein coilovers. The tires are a combination of Advan and Volk Group C tires: 235/45ZR17 at the front and 265/40ZR17 at the rear.

●Replace the turbine with T04E. The large displacement of 3 liters + big turbine exerts furious power from 4000 rpm. Latest super sports.

MV AGUSTA BLIPPER - TEIL 3

In Teil 1 meiner MV Agusta Blipper-Fibel habe ich die Theorie angeschnitten, Teil 2 zeigte den Ist-Zustand an den beiden MV Agusta F3 Modellen mit den Jahrgängen 2014 und 2015. Im dritten und letzten Teil will ich Euch zeigen, wie die Lösung aussieht und vor allem, wie man auch an den „älteren“ Modellen einen Blipper nachrüsten kann.

Für die Modelle ab 2015 ist die Lage klar. Der von Werk montierte EAS 2.0 Quickshifter und der geänderte Kabelbaum unterstützen das Hoch- und Runterschalten aus der Kiste. Hier liegt der Hund einzig und alleine bei der ECU begraben. Ein Update der ECU schafft Abhilfe und liefert dem Fahrer den Genuß eines Blippers. Du verfügst über eine F3 Modelljahr 2015+, Deine F3 besitzt den EAS 2.0 Quickshifter mit 3 Adern und Du willst das ECU Update haben? Bitte kontaktiere mich...

Für die Modelle vor 2015 ist ein kleiner Eingriff in den Kabelbaum unumgänglich. Wie im 2. Teil verdeutlicht geht ohne die 5 Volt am Quickshifter nix. Damit diese 5 Volt an Pin 1 vom Schaltautomaten ankommen, muss das violett-schwarze Drähtchen gefunden und angezapft werden. Diese Ader findet man relativ einfach am Heck der MV Agusta F3, wo ein 3-adriger Stecker zum Neigungssensor (Kill-Schalter) verläuft. Diese lilafarbene Ader führt 5 Volt mit sich und dort zapft man elegant mit einem Stromdieb den Saft ab und verlegt eine seperate Ader zum Quickshifter. Dort angekommen wird die alte Leitung vom Stecker aus Pin 1 entfernt und die neue Leitung auf Pin 1 geklemmt. Fertig.

Bevor man die Funktion mit einer Testfahrt beim Leib erfährt, wird zuvor mit dem Multimeter geprüft, ob jetzt die korrekten Ausgangssignale an die ECU geliefert werden.

Messergebnisse:

Ruhestellung: 2,6 V

Zug: 3,6 V

Druck: 1,6 V

Eine Testfahrt bestätigt die einwandfreie Funktion des Quickshifters EAS 2.0 an der 2014er MV Agusta F3 800 mit ABS. Das funktioniert auf die selbe Art und Weise auch an einer F3 675. Beide Modelle sind absolut identisch. Auch die Modelle ohne ABS verfügen über die gleichen Möglichkeiten. Wie das bei Brutale, Rivale und Dragster aussieht, kann ich nicht bestätigen, da ich solche Motorräder noch nicht unter den Fingern hatte. Theoretisch sollte es aber auch dort machbar sein.

Ein Update auf die Blipperfunktion setzt also prinzipiell ein ECU-Update, den EAS 2.0 Quickshifter und ein wenig Kleingeld voraus. Bei den beiden ersten Themen kann ich Euch behilflich sein. Sollte das Interesse daran bestehen, dann kontaktiert mich per Email oder direkt hier auf Tumblr. Siehe Menüzeile oben…

Ich hoffe der Workaround hat Euch geholfen und etwas Licht ins Dunkel der Elektronik gebracht, die so schlimm gar nicht ist, wenn man die Basics verstanden hat. Das schöne an der MV Agusta ist, dass sie elektronisch sehr logisch und relativ einfach aufgebaut ist. Ich bin in Sachen Aufbau, Wartung und Konsturktion nach wie vor beeindruckt von der kleinen Italienerin.

Feedback is welcome

Change Has Come With Husqvarna Motorcycles

Change has come with Husqvarna Motorcycles unveiling new generation enduro models for 2024. All-new platform and multiple technical advancements raise the bar for next level enduro performance. Allowing riders to master terrain like never before, Husqvarna Motorcycles’ all-new 2024 TE and FE machines set a new standard for riding offroad. Expertly crafted with new frames, subframes, bodywork, suspension, and brakes, the extended list of shared innovations across the new enduro platform was introduced to further improve overall rideability. With every model continuing to deliver outstanding performance, riders will undoubtedly embrace and benefit from the technical changes made to all seven class-leading machines. Offering predictable damping, the new enduro-specific WP suspension allows riders to conquer technical sections with complete confidence and control. The WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks incorporate a mid-valve piston for smooth action and consistent performance, while a hydrostop in the final 68 mm of travel helps to maintain forward momentum. A redesigned WP XACT shock features a new piston to improve comfort and is 100 g lighter and 15 mm shorter while retaining 300 mm of travel. Both the fork and shock settings can be adjusted by hand for a fast and easy personalised set-up.

Designed to work in perfect harmony with the WP suspension is a new chromium molybdenum steel frame. Improving anti-squat behaviour and offering revised flex characteristics, the chassis, which includes a new and much more durable hybrid subframe, guarantees each machine delivers exceptionally agile handling with confidence-inspiring straight-line stability. Wrapped around the new chassis is new bodywork that is adorned with modern, Swedish-inspired graphics and a new high-grip seat cover. Offering an improved 'rider triangle', to ensure more knee contact and therefore better control, the slim design of the bodywork also offers complete freedom of movement when riding while standing up. The updated bodywork is completed by a redesigned headlight, producing a brighter light output and is installed using a much more efficient and user-friendly mounting system. For the new generation, the TE 150, TE 250 and TE 300 2-stroke models are now powered by new engines, fuelled using Throttle Body Injection (TBI) technology. Introduced to ensure these lightweight machines maintain their best-in-class performance, TBI guarantees a much more consistent and controllable spread of power throughout the rev range, even in the toughest of conditions. The FE 250 and FE 350 machines benefit from new and much more compact DOHC engines. These are positioned in the frame two degrees backwards when compared to the previous generation, which further centralises mass and contributes to the improved anti-squat behaviour of the chassis. In addition, both engines are designed to position all major components as centrally as possible for improved handling and to generate maximum torque and power. All models in the range take the enduro riding experience to new levels thanks to advanced electronics. The EMS (engine map selection) allows each machine to offer two pre-set riding maps to suit varying terrain, with each gear selected engaging a tailored power delivery. The 4-stroke models offer additional rider aids including Traction Control and a Quickshifter for positive upshifts, even under heavy load. The line-up is complete with premium components shared across the range including a new LED headlight, enhanced BRAKTEC brakes with high performance GSK discs, a combined start/stop button, ProTaper handlebars, and Michelin enduro tyres. On the global racing stage, Billy Bolt’s most recent success clearly underlines Husqvarna Motorcycles’ reputation as a highly competitive manufacturer. Competing in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, the Husqvarna Factory Racing star secured his third consecutive title indoors to once again demonstrate the exceptional capability of the FE 350.

2024 Technical Highlights - New chromium molybdenum steel frame optimised for improved anti-squat behaviour and enhanced flex characteristics - New polyamide/aluminium hybrid subframe offers exceptional strength and durability - New 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks deliver consistent damping and predictable handling - New WP XACT rear shock is lighter and developed specifically for enduro riding - New ergonomic bodywork offers revised rider triangle for enhanced control - New 2-stroke engines feature TBI technology for improved rideability and ease of use - New 250cc and 350cc DOHC 4-stroke engines provide class-leading power and torque - New LED headlight provides a brighter light output and simplified fitment - New BRAKTEC brake system and high-performance GSK discs provide superior stopping power - New multifunctional Map Select Switch design controls the Quickshifter and Traction Control (4-stroke only) - New Offroad Control Unit (OCU) for highest level of reliability and user-friendly serviceability of electronics - Premium-quality ProTaper handlebar and ODI Grips - Electric starter powered by a lightweight Li-ion 2.0 Ah battery All enduro riders can dress and prepare for all conditions with the Functional Offroad Apparel Collection. Headlined by the new Moto-10 Spherical Railed Helmet, an extensive range of riding gear and waterproof clothing ensures riders can perform at their best for longer and in total comfort. For the new models, a comprehensive selection of Technical Accessories is now available with each component designed to enhance the performance and durability of each machine. The 2024 enduro range is available in the UK from mid-June at all authorised Husqvarna Motorcycles dealers. See below for full model price list.* TE 150 - £9,249.00 TE 250 - £10,149.00 TE 300 - £10,349.00 FE 250 - £10,649.00 FE 350 - £10,849.00 FE 450 - £11,149.00 FE 501 - £11,249.00 *Price includes VAT, delivery to dealer and PDI.

Review / 2024 KTM 890 SMT

When the 2024 KTM 890 SMT appeared in early 2023, I thought I had this bike figured out: A full-sized supermoto, with aggressive handling and an engine far more powerful than a dirt bike (the usual basis for a su-mo build). I figured it would be something like the Super Duke GT, a backroad touring weapon (if I may use such an unlikely term). After a few weeks of riding the bike, I’d say that’s kind of what you get here. But not exactly. The secret to understanding this bike is all in carefully reading the name. SMT stands for Super Moto Touring, and that’s what you get.

It looks just like an ADV, until you notice that fat front tire. Photo: Zac Kurylyk The 890 SMT’s bones Here’s what we said when the 890 SMT was first introduced: At its heart, a supermoto is basically a dirt bike with slick tires. The 890 SMT takes that idea to the next level and offers an adventure bike with sticky rubber on 17-inch rims. The old SMT models used KTM’s V-twin engine, but the new 890 uses (as the name implies) the LC8c parallel twin that first appeared in the 790 series and now powers the 890 Adventure, among other machines. The engine, like the ADV models, is tuned to make less muscle than the 890 Duke. The SMT’s powerplant makes around 104 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, and 74 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm, just like the 890 Adventure models. It has a 43-tooth rear sprocket like the Duke, instead of the 45-tooth as found on the ADV, and I think that taller gearing is noticeable on take-off. The electronics package is very similar, with Track mode subsituting for the Rally mode you see on the ADV bikes, but offering similar on-the-fly tuning for traction control and throttle response settings. The SMT also has Rain, Street and Sport riding modes, all governed by an Inertial Measurement Unit. Your leaning-sensitive ABS (with Supermoto mode!) and switchable traction control settings are tied to those riding modes. KTM also built in adjustable motor slip regulation and a quickshifter and cruise control. The bike I tested had all those perks.

One electro-perk my bike didn’t come with was heated grips. Hey, KTM! These should be standard equipment on a touring bike. Also note that some of the other electro features (Track mode) are pay-to-play add-ons that come with the Tech Pack. Photo: Zac Kurylyk Much of the chassis is identical or similar to the ADV models; the frame is all pinched straight from the 890 Adventure. The gas tank has a similar wraparound design, with lobes lowered down beside the engine, but it only holds 4.1 gallons of fuel instead of 5.3 gallons. That means less fuel range, but for street touring, it’s more than enough. I hesitate to state the range because I found it varied depending how hard I was on the throttle, but I think every 180 miles or so is when most riders will want to re-fuel. The wheels use cast rims instead of the spoked setups you often see on DIY supermotos. There’s WP Apex suspension fore and aft, with only 180 mm of travel. That’s a lot more than many streetbikes, but remember the 890 Adventure R has 240 mm of travel. As far as brakes, the SMT comes with beefy 320 mm front discs and four-piston J Juan radial-mount calipers.

The engine is the same as the KTM 890 Adventure. The optional quickshifter works a treat, and gear changes were slick with or without the clutch. Photo: Zac Kurylyk All in all, a very well-rounded package with a 428 pounds dry claimed weight. But the real question for me was: How did it ride, and was it a practical motorcycle for touring? The ride I don’t have a lot of experience on supermotos, but I do have a lot of experience on single-cylinder dirt bikes and dual sports, the basis for most supermoto builds. When I picked up the 890 SMT, I was just coming off a three-week jaunt on the GasGas ES700 Enduro, and I expected similarly aggressive feed back from the new twin-cylinder supermoto. That’s not what I got; maybe KTM retuned the 890 for the supermoto application, but it is still a less hard-edged machine at lower rpms when you compare it to single-cylinder dirtbike conversions. Like KTM’s other 890 parallel twins, you have to rev this engine up to get in the sweet spot. But when you do so, it’s a lot of fun.

Check out the fuel tank. It wraps around the engine same as the 790 and 890 tanks, but it holds less fuel as it’s not as low-mounted. The range probably isn’t needed for most SMT riders. Photo: Zac Kurylyk I left Halifax on the bike and headed for Route 2, running eastward along the Bay of Fundy’s northern edge on my way home. I was trying to get back before it was too late into the night, as I’d been gone about half of July at that point. In other words: I had a Super Moto Touring bike on a twisty road for a few hundred kilometers, which was the perfect testing scenario. And I was glad to have it, because the sitting-tall riding position with wide handlebar and a responsive engine as long as you kept it on the boil. Around the eastern end of Route 2 there was plenty of traffic to pass, but I carried a quick pace, bang-bang-banging through the gears (the quickshifter is lovely!) as I zipped around cars. This was the perfect bike for this sort of scene, with pavement kept in decent condition, the suspension easily soaking up any bumps and bangs on this secondary highway through tiny communities. However, when I got to Parrsboro, where I turned left onto Route 209 for the legendary Advocate Run, the bike showed that (surprise, surprise) it’s a streetbike.

The 890 SMT can handle a lot more banging and clanging than the Duke series, but it’s still not as well-suited for a rough road as the Adventure series; the 17-inch wheel makes for better steering, but there are trade-offs. Also: Check out those tires! I was extra-careful when riding on a rainy day, but never had any issues with them. Photo: Zac Kurylyk Route 209 is in terrible, unsafe condition, with massive potholes, gravel-covered corners, and long stretches where erosion under the pavement has left the road surface on a sketchy angle. I wondered if the 890 SMT would be able to soak up this punishment with aplomb, or would I wish I had an adventure bike instead, with larger-diameter front wheel and a suspension better-suited to the rough terrain? The 890 SMT steered around most of the trouble, but the big bumps that I hit were… unpleasant. I suppose tweaking and tinkering with the fork clickers might have made a difference, but given that I was riding on a cast wheel, I opted for discretion over valor and decided to dial back my pace as I frolicked amidst the potholes. The night ended with a long highway run from Amherst to home, maybe 300 kilometers. Like I said, this ride had a taste of everything, and I was glad to have a chance to see how the big supermoto ate the superslab. Whether we like it or not, a lot of our moto trips include long stretches of four-lane, and any serious touring bike has to be able to handle it.

That low windscreen was still enough to keep me comfort well into extra-legal highway speeds. Photo: Zac Kurylyk The 890 did very well here, despite the short cut-down windshield. I suspect many owners will bolt up a taller shield if they’re doing longer distances, but I had no complaints about the bodywork or any other part of highway performance. I can happily report that roll-on power on the highway was excellent, much to the embarrassment of a kid who tried to impress his girlfriend with an impromptu race down the highway … errrrr, hypothetically speaking, of course. Final conclusions I ended up getting the occasional ride in aboard the 890 SMT as the summer went on, but I focused more on dirt riding and the SMT spent more time in the garage than I thought. I didn’t get any more touring-style trips in on the SMT, but I did get a lot more backroad and urban riding in. I think, if that’s the majority of your riding, you might appreciate one of KTM’s other supermotos (KTM 690/Husqvarna 701/GasGas ES700) more, for that sort of thing. The SMT is indeed better suited for long-haul riding than braptastic hoonery, as the name itself implies. Not that it can’t do that sort of thing, it can, but a hardcore supermoto junkie would probably enjoy a lighter, more hairy-chested bike intended for traditional supermoto-style riding.

If you don’t intend to do longer miles, I think a buyer might be happier with a more aggressive, smaller supermoto, like KTM’s LC4-powered models. At least *I* would. But for other riders who enjoy flogging bigger bikes around irresponsibly, the 890 SMT might indeed be the ticket. If you’re curious, I think you should do your best to get a test ride. It will tell you if the machine is suitable for your needs. Photo: Zac Kurylyk But if you want to get a little farther away from home, then the SMT is the thing. It’s comfortable for hours on end; it has electronics that can save your butt when fatigue and the elements delay your reaction time; it has enough power to keep a fast pace. Just don’t expect it to handle the same kind of abuse that a true adventure bike will. I also suspect that KTM figures some riders are going to want to take this thing out for trackdays, given that a Track riding mode is installed. Given that I have zero experience on a racetrack, I won’t even pretend to comment on the bike’s suitability except for this: On a bumpy Canadian roadracing track like St-Eustache or Shubenacadie, I bet this thing would be a blast, even on the stock tires, which have barely any siping and frankly, look pretty close to trackday tires. For me? the SMT is a cool idea, but I’d prefer an 890 Adventure S with a 19-inch front wheel—but they don’t currently make one. Or a Super Duke GT, if I wanted high-speed touring … that bike is just a little more super than the SMT, even if it’s based off the Duke, not an ADV platform. My guess is that a 990 SMT model is coming soon, though, giving the SMT a muscle-up that would benefit its street cred. Source link Read the full article

Az erőteljes teljesítmény, lenyűgöző dizájn, precíz irányítás, vonzó ár és fejlett technológiai jellemzők verhetetlen kombinációja miatt a Z900 joggal tartozik Európa legnépszerűbb motorjai közé. A 2025-ös modell új standardokat állít fel, inspirálva ezzel a régi rajongókat és az új motorosokat egyaránt. Készülj fel a Z900 következő evolúciójára! Az új Z900 örökli elődjének izgalmas és felhasználóbarát koncepcióját, és olyan motor, elektronikai, váza és dizájnfrissítésekkel bővül, amelyek még élvezetesebbé teszik az utcai motorozást. Az erőteljes, 948 cm³ folyadékhűtéses, sornégyes motor új vezérműtengely-profillal rendelkezik, amely még szabadabban pörög és erősebb nyomatékot biztosít az alacsonyabb fordulatszám-tartományokban. A „Ride-by-Wire” rendszernek köszönhetően a gázkarok elektromosan működnek, és az ECU pontosan biztosítja a megfelelő üzemanyag-levegő keveréket minden vezetési helyzethez, kiváló reakciót eredményezve. Még t��bb kép a Kawasaki Z900-ról a CsamClub galériában Az új ECU programozás, beleértve a teljes fordulatszám-tartományra vonatkozó, felülvizsgált gyújtási időzítést, 16%-os üzemanyag-fogyasztás-javulást is eredményez. A finoman hangolt légszűrő lenyűgöző beszívott hangot biztosít, amely még intenzívebben integrálja a vezetőt a vezetési élménybe. https://csajokamotoron.hu/sornegy-szerelmem-kawasaki-z900-2019-teszt/ A váztól is módosítások történtek a Z900 kezelhetőségének további optimalizálása érdekében. A kormányfej mögötti vázmerevítés szilárdságát megváltoztatták, hogy javuljon a kezelhetőség. A lengőkar rögzítési területe is felülvizsgálatra került, lehetővé téve a Quickshifter beépítését. A hátsó váz meredeksége csökkent, így több helyet biztosít a ülés párnázásának. A kezelhetőség agilis marad, és nagyfokú bizalmat ad a vezetőnek. A módosított felfüggesztési beállításoknak köszönhetően a vezetési pozíció előre nehezebb, amely több nyomást gyakorol az első kerékre, így még pontosabb irányítást és jobb érzést biztosít. Az új, radiálisan felszerelt, 4 dugattyús féknyergek az első keréken, a új Dunlop Sportmax Q5A gumiabroncsokkal kombinálva, sima és precíz fékezést garantálnak.A Kawasaki fejlett elektronikus asszisztens rendszerei (a 6-tengelyes IMU-val együtt) biztosítják a vezetők számára azt a támogatást, amelyre szükségük van, hogy maximálisan kihasználhassák a Z900 képességeit: - KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function) | A KCMF folyamatosan figyelemmel kíséri a motor és a váz paramétereit a kanyarban - a belépéstől a csúcspontig és a kanyar kijáratáig - és modulálja a fékerőt és a motor teljesítményét, hogy zökkenőmentes átmenetet biztosítson a gyorsítás és fékezés között, segítve a vezetőt a kívánt vonal megtartásában a kanyarban. Az IMU visszajelzése beépül a továbbfejlesztett ABS (beleértve a dőlési és kanyarodási fékvezérlést) és a KTRC vezérlésébe. - KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control) | A Kawasaki fejlett traction control rendszere (KTRC) javított teljesítményt kínál sportos vezetéshez és további biztonságot biztosít alacsony tapadású utakon való közlekedéskor. - Integrált vezetési módok: Három vezető által választható előre beállított mód (Sport, Road és Rain), valamint az egyedileg állítható Rider Mode (a 35/70 kW-os verzióban nem elérhető) lehetővé teszi a vezető számára, hogy a traction control-t és a teljesítmény leadást a megfelelő vezetési helyzethez igazítsa. - A Z900-nak a szokásos A-ból B-be jutás mellett új, vezetőbarát funkciói, mint például a KQS - Kawasaki Quickshifter (1,500 fordulat/perc feletti Quickshifter és Blipper funkcióval) és az elektronikus tempomat biztosítják a sima és élvezetes vezetést. A Z900 sikerére támaszkodva az akasai gyár keményen dolgozott a 2025-ös dizájnújításokon. Az újraértelmezett Sugomi dizájn feltűnő, szögletes formákkal és a fémalkatrészek ügyes felhasználásával rendelkezik, amelyek tökéletesen tükrözik a motor belsejében rejlő erőteljes teljesítményt. A megújult első rész egyik figyelemfelkeltő eleme a precíz, kompakt fényszórók és a fejlett LED hátsó lámpa, amely futurisztikus dizájnt és modern technológiát kínál. Az új, csiszolt alumínium oldalsó panelek és egyéb részletek elegáns, fényes megjelenést kölcsönöznek a Z900-nak. Az új, kényelmes ülés laposabb kialakítással rendelkezik, amely lehetővé teszi a vezető számára, hogy könnyen változtasson pozíciót, és a figyelmet a nagy, teljesen digitális 5 hüvelykes TFT színes műszerekre vonzza. Még több kép a Kawasaki Z900 Se-ről a CsamClub galériában Kawasaki motoron először a navigációs utasítások lépésről lépésre történő megjelenítése lehetséges az új 5 hüvelykes TFT színes kijelzőn, amely lehetővé teszi a vezető számára, hogy lássa, merre kell kanyarodnia, míg a "Rideology The App Motorcycle" alkalmazással való kompatibilitás lehetővé teszi a vezető számára, hogy különböző funkciókat hangvezérléssel irányítson**. A vezető számára az első ülés formája megváltozott, és két ülésmagasság közül lehet választani: az ERGO-FIT High ülés 830 mm (alapfelszereltség) és az alternatív ERGO-FIT Low ülés 810 mm (kiegészítő). Továbbá az új alumínium Fat-Type kormány javított szilárdsággal rendelkezik. A Z900 mellett továbbra is elérhető marad az SE modell, amely Öhlins S46 hátsó lengéscsillapítóval, Brembo fékalkatrészekkel (300 mm-es féktárcsák, radiálisan felszerelt M4.32 monoblokk féknyergek és fékbetétek) és Nissin radiális főfékhengerrel, valamint acélflex vonalakkal rendelkezik. Az európai piacon a 35 kW/70 kW-os modellek is elérhetők lesznek, hogy szélesebb körű motorosok férhessenek hozzá a Z Supernaked szórakozáshoz. A Kawasaki Z sorozatának hosszú története van - ma egy új fejezetet írunk! A Z900 modellek 2025 tavaszán lesznek elérhetők a Kawasaki márkakereskedéseknél az alábbi színkombinációkban: Z900 & Z900 70 kW - Metallic Spark Black / Metallic Carbon Gray / Ebony - BK1 - Metallic Carbon Gray / Metallic Phantom Silver / Candy Persimmon Red - RD1 - Metallic Moondust Gray / Metallic Spark Black / Candy Lime Green - GN1 Z900 SE - Metallic Matte Graphite Gray / Ebony / Metallic Graphite Gray - GY1 Read the full article
