Rider Aids

Kawasaki’s state-of-the-art electronics have always performed brilliantly because of the highly sophisticated programming that gives the ECU the precise real-time image of what the chassis is doing with minimal software. The electronic management technology on the Versys® 1000 SE LT + motorbike incorporates the latest iterations of Bosch IMU and Kawasaki’s unique dynamic modeling software so that riders can enjoy the ride with increasing confidence. IMU calculates inertia with five axes: longitude, transition, and vertical velocity; Roll rate and pitch rate. ECU calculates Yao’s rate with Kawasaki’s unique software so that the six-axis chassis can provide lean angle and acceleration/delirium force for more accurate electronic auxiliary riding control.

Corner Management Function

The Corner Management Function uses both KIBS and KTRC to help riders maintain their planned trajectory around a corner by reducing the tendency of the bike to rise when applied to the brakes. Based on the motorcycle’s lean and pitch angles, IMUs help the input system maintain maximum hydraulic pressure. A Supersports-inspired high-accuracy system with smooth feedback to increase braking confidence. To control the brake pressure, the engine ECU interacts with the ABS ECU. Compared to traditional ABS systems, high-precision control gives a more permanent lever feel.

The bike is suitable for best performance; the backtrack limiting clutch mechanism supports ABS function during downward shifts. The 3-mode system adapts to various riding conditions, provides better sporting or riding assurance, and allows for smoother riding on smarter terrain. Sport-Kawasaki Traction Manage (S-KTRC) uses advanced analytics to predict when traction conditions are becoming unfavorable and will respond before the maximum lubrication of the wheel is exceeded. Modes 1 and 2 control the ignition timing. Mode 3 adjusts ignition timing, fuel and air for extremely smooth operation and has high sensitivity.
