Headlining the changes to an already potent powerplant is a boost in midrange torque brought on by a more efficient fuel-injection system. This system features 43mm throttle bodies with dual throttle valves, and its new “ultra-fine atomizing injectors” are claimed to offer improved combustion. An interesting change to the new ZX is a heavier flywheel that is said to smooth the ferocious powerband of the previous engine, aided by its generator that moves from behind the cylinders to the crankshafts end, further adding mass to the rotating assembly. Revised engine-management mapping is claimed to reduce abruptness in throttle transitions, such as when reapplying gas when exiting corners, and a higher swingarm pivot location will theoretically transfer power to the rear tire more effectively.
I say its looks bugly, but each to their own! Really don’t like the new headlights
Agreed, prefer the current model to that. What the f…k have they done with those exhausts? The back looks hideous. The front does not look too bad, not exactly different to anything else really. Perhaps they should go back to the ZX7 lights, that would make it stand out a bit more. Improvements in power delivery sound interesting. I shall reserve further judgement until I have seen it in the flesh and ridden it.
