What kind of brakes does a Kawasaki zx9r have?
Brakes are effective unless neglected. Always a strong point on Kawasakis even when chassis development fell behind the competition. The Kawasaki ZX-9R’s engine is a classic with modest low rev torque, no major fireworks in the midrange but enough urge to keep the Kawasaki ZX-9R swift. But rev hard and very little will pull away.
When did Kawasaki make the Uni-Trak ZX-9R?
Uni-Trak adjustable compression, rebound and preload. For 1998, Kawasaki completely redesigned the ZX-9R. The basic roadgoing bias of the bike, with the relaxed riding position and generous chassis dimensions remained, but the character of the bike was fundamentally changed.
