For 2025, Kawasaki has added a new 5-inch TFT display for the rider that is controlled via new switchgear that is borrowed from the Ninja 1100SX. The new TFT screen also supports Bluetooth connectivity and voice commands via the Rideology application. It now gets a ride-by-wire throttle that has enabled features like cruise control and a bi-directional quickshifter. There is also a 5-axis IMU, riding modes, power modes, dual-channel anti-lock braking system and traction control. Kawasaki continues to use 948 cc, four-cylinder engine that puts out 123 bhp of max power and a peak torque output of 99 Nm.
Kawasaki uses input from numerous sources to monitor front calliper hydraulic pressure, front and rear wheel speed sensors and various information from the engine ECU (throttle position, engine speed, clutch actuation and gear position). All of this ensures that there's high precision brake control which limits the rear lift off, there is minimal kickback during operation and it also accounts for back-torque.
There are four riding modes on offer - Sport, Road, Rain and Rider. In the Rider mode, the customer can set systems independently. The traction control also gets three modes. Mode 1 prioritises forward acceleration, Mode 2 offers a balance between acceleration performance and rider reassurance and Mode 3 provides rider reassurance by facilitating smooth riding on challenging surfaces. If the rider wants, he or she can turn off traction control as well. The rider can also set power modes. There is Full power mode and Low power mode.
