Kawasaki KZ400 Motorcycle wallpaper – red Kawasaki motorbike backgrounds and wallpapers

The Kawasaki KZ400-J had an air-cooled four-cylinder, four-stroke, eight-valve DOHC engine, and six-speed gearbox derived from the larger Kawasaki Z500/Z550. The KZ400J was produced from 1980?1983. The “West Germany” version was limited to 20 kW. These bikes were electric start only, and the KZ400-J had a single (US model) or double (UK, Western Germany models) disc brake at the front, and a drum brake rear.

The 1980 model was identified as Kawasaki KZ400-J1, while in 1981 the Kawasaki KZ400-J2 was introduced with small differences, like a transistorised ignition system.

Introduced in the UK in 1980 as the J1 version, their styling and spec was aimed at the sports touring market and as a competition against the Honda CB400/4 and CB550/4 series of successful UJM (universal Japanese motorcycle) middleweights. The 400 was almost the same in specs as the Z500 model but differed in that it had a rear drum brake instead of a disc. The J2 was fitted with air assisted forks, adjustable damping rear twin shocks, tubeless tyres in cast 7 spoke wheels, grab rail and different tank/seat cowl striping. The J3 version was offered was Megaphone shortie silencers and chromed tops on the twin shocks. In 1983 the Z400 was altered significantly and the engine was heavily reworked resulting in the ZR400 kawasaki h2, kawasaki, kawasaki superbike wallpaper, Motorcycle wallpapers, kawasaki ninja

The engine was updated in 1981 from the Z1 type with a displacement of 1015 cc to the “J model” type with a displacement of 998 cc. Although similar in appearance not all parts are interchangeable between the two types.

Mechanically, there were few changes within the series. The KZP has over 95% parts compatibility across the entire production run, and in fact the throttle twist assembly, which holds the switches for the pursuit lights and siren, kept the “M” position used by the C-series to lock the speedometer needle. A major change was in 2002, when the chain size was changed from 630 to 530, saving weight and increasing acceleration.

The most obvious change in the P-series was the introduction of LED lighting in 2003 Motorcycle wallpapers#MotorcycleWallpaper #KawasakiH2 #Motorcycles #KawasakiH2Wallpaper #KawasakiBike

In some countries the Concours 14 (also known as the 1400GTR) is used by the police, although this is not factory-built by Kawasaki as an authorities machine, rather it is a local conversion. In the United States, starting in 2009, the Concours 14P and the Police 1400 Enforcer have been adopted by a number of law enforcement agencies.

The new Kawasaki police motorcycle directly competes with patrol motorcycles based on the BMW R1200RT, Harley-Davidson models, and Honda ST1300. Operators include the California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles Police Department, and other major agencies, primarily throughout the western United States. The dealers stopped building new Concours 14Ps after a number of electrical failures took 268 bikes out of service for repairs
