Ram Air Induction
- Central ram air duct is based colder higher pressure air from the face of the dome and efficient to guide them through the air filter and the engine maximum power
Digital fuel injection
- 44mm Mikuni throttle bodies feature sub-throttle valves controlled by the computer to provide precise answers, smooth performance DFI and help meet Euro III emission

- Spark individual coils each mounted with four fires spark plug independently to achieve the best time for the cylinders
- ECU includes a minimum speed control system facilitates starting and heating
Radial clutch master cylinder
- Hydraulic clutch features a radial cylinder of the pump clutch master clutch for smooth and precise and optimal sensor
The new generation of aluminum monocoque chassis
- Lightweight, monocoque frame is an aluminum hollow arches on the engine of the steering head to swingarm pivot. It is narrow, strong, rigid and very light
- Division of the aluminum frame sections - steering head and swingarm pivot areas - are manufactured by a die casting process to save weight
- Engine is rigidly mounted frame member pointed out, which increases the torsional rigidity of the frame and saves approximately four pounds
- The engine is placed forward of the frame weight, pace, and front / rear balance carefully designed to achieve stability and rapid maneuverability
- Massive steering head casting contributes to frame rigidity
- Houses the air box and filter frame space-saving design that simplifies air cleaner
- The battery is also housed in the chassis and is easily accessible from the rear of the chassis
Suspension
- Conversely, 43mm cartridge-type fork uses the depreciation rate, providing strong measures to resist the premiere-dive under braking
- Infinitely variable damping suspension system for better performance
- Excellent feedback control and fully adjustable rear Uni-Trak ® rear suspension
- Linkage rates provide linear suspension action
- Bottom-link design helps create a lower center of gravity, which makes the bike more agile
- Rotate the half ribs are a bit 'so make the tire balance weights can be positioned exactly along the centerline of the wheel
Radial-mount calipers and petal discs
- Mounting radial four-piston front brake to provide greater rigidity than conventional brake caliper to improve feel
- A separate brake pad is used for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming so they maintain consistent brake feel a
- Petal design brake discs provide such improved cooling and warp resistance
- Radial-pump front brake cylinder improves brake performance and lever feel
Wind Tunnel-Designed Bodywork
- Monocoque chassis is placed on the engine, so the fairing is uninterrupted elegant projecting beams of the frame, adding that the extremely long, low style
- Both front and rear turn signals are integrated into the bodywork and have clear lenses to enhance the appearance
- Quadruple projector beam headlights give the ZX-14 a distinctive front fairing. The outer lights containing position lamps and high beam, while the low beams are in the center of lamps
- Lightweight Denso radiator with high-density cores provides maximum cooling efficiency
Full instrumentation
- White face the dual analogue speedometer and tachometer are easy to read
- Multi-function LCD digital display includes an odometer, dual trip odometer, fuel gauge, gear indicator and clock
- LED lights programmed to change preset rpm to upshift of the pilot signal
- The clutch engagement is programmable pre-set RPM signal to the pilot port switch
- Controller Area Network (CAN) interface between the gauges uses fewer son still allows a greater amount of information, such as estimated fuel mileage, to be exchanged.
