Smooth, Torquey, Quick-Revving, 649cc Parallel-Twin Engine
- Liquid-cooled, DOHC, eight-valve fuel-injected twin cylinder engine delivers smooth, responsive performance, especially in the low to medium-rpm range
- Strong mid-range power produces exceptional roll-on response and impressive passing performance, to help make even commuter traffic more enjoyable
- A 180-degree crankshaft-driven balancer shaft minimizes vibration and pulls double-duty as the water pump drive
- Oil jets on the connecting rod big ends spray oil on the underside of the pistons to aid cooling
- Lightweight plug-mounted ignition coils deliver a hot spark and save space
- High-capacity radiator for optimum cooling efficiency
- Engine coolant travels directly to the engine cases, then follows internal passages to the cylinder and head for minimum external plumbing and a simplified cooling system
Digital Fuel Injection
- Fuel injection settings boost the engine’s bottom-end power while still letting it rev freely
- Sub-throttle valve equipped 38mm Keihin throttle bodies offer optimum performance and rideability
- Located behind the main throttle valves, the sub-throttles are controlled by the DFI® system’s ECU for precise throttle response
- Auto fast-idle system simplifies starting and helps ensure that the catalyzer reaches optimum temperature quickly
- Lightweight fuel pump is mounted inside the fuel tank
Compact Engine Design
- Powerful twin-cylinder engine is the most compact in its category, which helps reduce the dimensions of the entire motorcycle and allows use of a slim twin-pipe perimeter frame
- Triangular setup of the crankshaft and transmission shafts makes the engine dimensionally short front-to-back
- Transmission input shaft, output shaft and gear-change drum are contained in a cassette-style package that allows a compact layout and eases transmission maintenance
- Semi-dry sump design reduces engine height
- Plated, linerless aluminum cylinders with a narrow cylinder pitch keep the engine light and slim
Low Emissions
- Efficient fuel injection and a three-way catalyzer inside the exhaust produce very low emissions, able to pass stringent Euro III emissions regulations
- 300-cell catalyzer is compact and light
Vibration Control
- Rubber-mounted seat, handlebar and footpegs (rider’s and passenger’s) keep vibration low and comfort as high as possible
- A 180-degree crankshaft-driven balancer shaft minimizes vibration and pulls double-duty as the water pump drive
Rigid Twin-pipe Perimeter Frame
- Slim, low, lightweight, rigid and compact frame design is narrow at the knees and footpegs for optimum rider comfort and control
- The strong steel perimeter frame wraps around the engine for optimum rigidity, rivaling that of all-aluminum designs
- Optimal frame rigidity is achieved through extensive computer analysis, which translates to superb handling
- The frame and swingarm designs flow together aesthetically, and work with the suspension components to offer maximum wheel control
- Short front-to-back engine dimensions allow for a longer swingarm and a shorter wheelbase, which contributes to the Ninja’s light and nimble handling
- Under-engine muffler placement aids mass centralization and yields a low center of gravity
- Clean frame joint welds highlight the bike’s overall quality and attention to detail
Stylish Twin-Pipe Swingarm
- Swingarm is tuned to complement the frame’s flex and rigidity characteristics
- Swingarm’s upper right tube has a D-shaped cross section for strength and light weight
- Swingarm shape and design contributes to the Ninja 650’s high-quality appearance
Suspension
- Settings on the 41mm conventional fork and preload-adjustable laydown shock offer optimum ride comfort without sacrificing wheel control during sport riding
- Fork lowers wrap-around the axle shaft adding to the bike’s high-quality image
Comfortable, Confidence-inspiring Ergonomics
- A wide handlebar, two-piece seat and optimal footpeg placement result in a comfortable and natural seating position which suits a wide range of riders
- Backbone-type subframe offers a low seat height and a narrow footpeg placement for precise feel and excellent comfort, the narrowness also makes it easier for riders to reach to the ground
- The offset single-shock rear suspension layout along with a smaller battery also contribute to the low seat height
- This low seat height and slim overall design make it easy to plant both feet firmly on the ground when stopped – a bonus for newer riders
Triple Disc Brakes
- Dual 300mm front petal-shaped disc brakes with twin-piston calipers and a single 220mm rear petal-shaped disc deliver plenty of braking power
- Front brake master cylinder features a 14mm piston for smooth actuation
Sleek, Supersport-inspired Bodywork
- A dual headlight design within the fairing’s angular upper section features multi-reflector bulb hoods and twin position lights – like its Ninja supersport brethren
- A 3-way adjustable windscreen deflects air away from the rider, creating a still-air envelope and reducing wind buffeting at higher speeds
- Large capacity fuel tank meshes perfectly with the radically shaped fairing
- Distinctive Ninja supersport design elements enhance the Ninja 650’s sporty image and compact appearance
- Integrated front turn signals feature clear lenses and amber bulbs
- A sleek tail cowl featuring a thin LED taillight accentuates the bodywork’s radical appearance
- Inner rear fender helps keep the underside of the tail cowl clean
- Turn signals also function as flashing hazard lights
- A front fender minimizes water splash, while its shape matches the Ninja 650’s bodywork styling
- Supersport-type mirrors – like those on Kawasaki’s ZX-10R and 6R – accentuate the bike’s aggressive styling
6-Spoke Aluminum Wheels
- Attractive six-spoke supersport-style wheels augment the bike’s lightweight look and reduce unsprung weight for superb suspension action
Instruments/Controls
- Multi-function instrumentation includes a fuel gauge, digital speedometer, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, economical riding (ECO) indicator, and an analog tachometer above the LCD info-pod
- Clock and trip meter can be viewed simultaneously
- Easy-to-read LCD screen offers riders quick, at-a-glance information on a variety of systems
- Ignition switch is located at the top of the tank assembly, which gives a clearer view to the Ninja 650’s instruments
