- 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 650 and Z650 gains traction control.
- Retains the same 649cc parallel-twin engine.
While the same features are regarded as industry standard, this is the first time that traction control function is equipped on the Ninja and Z650.
The two motorcycle will feature three diferent Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) settings to meet the rider’s need.
In Mode 1, the KTRC system is more preserve while Mode 2 the intervention sets in earlier to deal with lower-traction situation especially riding on wet roads.
Also, users can turn off the traction control system entirely, allowing more fun factor especially on the track.
Riders can also access their preferred KTRC setting via the Bluetooth-enabled TFT instrument colour.
Nonetheless, the Ninja 650 and Z650 runs on the same 649cc parallel-twin engine capable of producing 67hp and 65Nm.
The bike is suspended by a non-adjustable 41mm telescopic fork and a horizontal back-link rear shock.
