This entry I will post about Kawasaki Z800. Why I choose to post about this motorbike? It is because this is one of my dream bike. So, here are a bit of information about this motorbike.
Following the highly popular Z750, Kawasaki proudly presents the newest model in the Z family. 40 years after the birth of the original Z, the Z800 takes the Z design in an aggressive new direction. While the design of its popular predecessor may be considered somewhat reserved, for the Z800 designers were given free rein to pursue a more vivid expression of the Z brand for the mid-size class. Engineers were equally unconstrained when it came to engine and chassis design. With increased engine displacement and increased chassis performance delivering even greater exhilaration, the Z800 offers an exciting and expressive choice of ride that makes other options seem pale in comparison.
806 cm3 In-Line Four engine
Now displacing 806 cm3 thanks to a larger bore, the Z800 engine offers increased performance at all rpm. The greater performance especially noticeable in the low-mid range, adding to greater everyday usability as well increased riding exhilaration. Shorter final gearing complements the new engine character and emphasises the Z800's stronger acceleration.
Ultra-fine injectors and larger-diameter 34 mm throttle bodies (previously 32 mm) with sub-throttles offer ultra-smooth response across the rev-range.
The new cylinder is an aluminium die-cast piece with plated bores (previously gravity cast with steel liners). Its open-deck construction (previously closed deck) contributes to a weight savings of approximately 1 kg.
To offset the weight gained by their larger diameter, the pistons have a reduced height. They are approximately 10% lighter, reducing reciprocating weight.
Tubular backbone frame
Chassis geometry results in a package with nimble, responsive handling characteristics, together with a very stable feel. The Z800's posture is slightly forward leaning (front lowered, rear raised), contributing to its more aggressive appearance.
Tubular backbone chassis design with engine sub-frame and new connecting pipe, and revised chassis rigidity offer great feedback to the rider, communicating what the bike is doing in all situations.
The new connecting pipe, which joins the left and right engine sub-frames (crossing in front of the cylinder), contributes to optimised frame rigidity for increased handling stability.
Exhaust system
Elegant curves of the exhaust header pipes and a buffed finish complement the Z800's fierce street-fighter styling. The header pipes were made as long as possible and features equaliser tubes connecting headers #1-#4 and #2-#3 – both changes contributing to stronger low-mid range performance.
The short-style exhaust system eliminates the centre pipe and uses a short silencer for increased mass centralisation and a strong street-fighter image. The silencer's complex cross-section ensures the requisite volume while allowing an ample lean angle.
Suspension
The Z800's 41 mm KYB inverted fork features settings optimised for the increased engine displacement and revised frame rigidity. The fork is adjustable for both rebound damping and preload.
The KYB rear shock was repositioned to the left of the bike centerline, allowing more room for the silencer on the right side, and enabling an idealized left-right balance. The shock features an aluminium body with a piggyback reservoir, and is adjustable for rebound damping and preload.
More powerful brakes
New opposed, 4-piston calipers gripping larger-diameter 310 mm petal discs deliver formidable stopping power with superb control and feel.
