Experience unforgettable supercharged street performance with the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja H2 motorcycle.
The worlds only supercharged production hypersport streetbike features numerous innovations and industry-firsts from across Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI),
complemented by only the highest quality components. The result is an awe-inspiring work of mechanical art, Built Beyond Belief.
NINJA H2 ENGINE & TRANSMISSION The supercharged engine in the Ninja H2 is based closely on the powerplant in the Ninja H2R. The 998cc inline four-cylinder configuration is similar to modern superbike engines, allowing the engineers to build a nimble chassis for these powerhouses.
A great deal of work was done to ensure the motors could cope with the supercharger application. The combustion chamber design, for example, is complemented by durable flat piston crowns. The shape was inspired by the pistons used in the Green Gas Engine developed by Kawasakis Gas Turbine & Machinery Company, contributing to the engines anti-knock performance. The intake valves are stainless steel, while the exhaust valves are formed from two materials

Inconel and heat-resistant steel

that are friction-welded at the center. This design is able to withstand the high exhaust temperatures produced under hard acceleration.
The supercharger was designed in-house by several companies within Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., thus allowing the opportunity to perfectly match the engine characteristics of the Ninja H2 and H2R. The superchargers high efficiency and minimal heat gain meant an intercooler was unnecessary, allowing savings in both weight and space. The supercharger is located centrally, behind the cylinder bank, in the best position to evenly distribute the compressed air to all four cylinders.
The supercharger is driven by a planetary gear train, which runs off the crankshaft. The gear train increases the impeller speed up to 9.2x the crank speed (1.15x step gear with an 8x planetary gear). This means at a maximum engine speed of approximately 14,000 rpm, the impeller shaft is spinning at almost 130,000 rpm.
To facilitate smooth, quick shifting, a dog-ring-type transmission was selected. This is similar to the kind commonly found in MotoGP and was developed with the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT). The dog-rings are lighter than conventional transmission gears, this type of transmission offers significantly lighter shift effort, facilitating quicker acceleration.
New for 2016, a high-quality clutch with Assist and Slipper function has been added to the Ninja H2 transmission. This results in a 40% lighter clutch pull and stronger clamping force during clutch engagement. The previous Brembo parts are used for both the clutch levers radial-pump master cylinder and clutch release mechanism, giving superb linearity and smooth actuation. Additionally, the back-torque limiting Slipper function of the clutch contributes to stability by helping to prevent wheel hop during aggressive downshifts.
CHASSIS Specifying a trellis frame for the Ninja H2 and Ninja H2R motorcycles offered an elegant, lightweight solution to meet the performance requirements of the street version H2 and closed-course Ninja H2R. Able to harness the power of the engine, it has a balance of stiffness and flexibility that enables a high level of stability while being able to handle external disturbances at high speed. Its open design also helps to dissipate heat generated by the supercharged engine. The Ninja H2 and H2R feature the first Kawasaki production single-sided swingarm. Having a single-s ided swingarm allows the exhaust pipe to be mounted closer to the bikes centerline, providing a high bank angle for sporty cornering.
SUSPENSION The KYB AOS-II 43mm front fork on these innovative motorcycles is designed for low friction, with a smooth initial action followed by strong damping at the end of the stroke.
Fully adjustable KYB rear suspension offers superb stability. The top of the rear shock mounts to the swingarm mounting plate, doing away with the need for frame crossmembers.
The bottom of the rear shock is mounted via a Uni-Trak linkage that offers excellent feedback for rear tire grip. The linkage, situated below the swingarm, also mounts to the swingarm mounting plate.
BRAKES Given the high-speed potential of the Ninja H2 and H2R, the brakes chosen were the best available for a production motorcycle. A front Brembo radial-pump master cylinder and reservoir receive extra attention before being shipped to Kawasaki. Each part is examined and adjusted to help eliminate any play in the lever stroke, so that the brakes respond immediately when they are applied.
A pair of massive 330mm Brembo semi-floating front discs, with a thickness of 5.5mm, deliver excellent braking force. Dual radial-mount Brembo cast monobloc calipers grip the front discs. The rigid, opposed four-piston calipers with 30mm pistons contribute to the braking power of the Ninja H2 and H2R.
A large 250mm disc generates strong braking force at the rear as well.
KTRC (KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL) The KTRC system used on the Ninja H2 and H2R combines the best elements of earlier Kawasaki TRaction Control Systems. Multi-level modes offer riders a greater number of settings to choose from, with each mode providing a different level of intrusion to suit riding conditions and rider preference. And all modes are designed to manage output when sudden wheel slip occurs. The system offers both enhanced sport riding performance and the peace of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence. Riders can choose from three modes, each offering a progressively greater level of intrusion. Each of these modes also has three rider-selectable levels, adding more or less intrusion (rider preferences for each mode are programmable for on-the-move selection), giving a total of nine possible settings. Riders may also elect to turn the system off. Mode 1 and 2 are tailored for circuit riding, while Mode 3 was optimized for more slippery conditions.
KLCM (KAWASAKI LAUNCH CONTROL MODE) Designed to assist the rider by optimizing acceleration from a stop, KLCM Kawasaki Launch Control Mode electronically controls engine output to prevent wheelspin and control wheel lift when launching. Riders can choose from three modes, each offering a progressively greater level of intrusion. Each mode allows the rider to launch from a stop with the throttle held wide open.
KIBS (KAWASAKI INTELLIGENT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) Kawasakis supersport-style ABS is standard equipment on the Ninja H2 and H2R. This is based on the same system used on the Ninja ZX-10R, with programming and settings revised to suit the performance parameters of the Ninja H2 and H2R. High-precision brake pressure control enables the system to avoid reduced brake performance due to excessive pressure drops, allows lever feel to be maintained when KIBS is active, and helps ensure ABS pulses feel smooth (not heavy).
KQS (KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER) Ninja H2 and H2R were the first Kawasaki motorcycles to be fitted with a standard quick shifter. Complementing the engines strong power and the dog-ring transmission, a contactless-type quick shifter enables rapid upshifts for seamless acceleration.
HLINS ELECTRONIC STEERING DAMPER Unlike a mechanical steering damper

in which the settings, once fixed, must cover all riding conditions and speeds

the damping characteristics are changed electronically, according to vehicle speed and the degree of acceleration or deceleration.
At low speeds, the settings were chosen so that damping does not interfere with the bikes intrinsic lightweight handling. At high speeds, damping increases to provide enhanced stability. Kawasakis electronic steering damper was developed with hlins, one of the most popular and respected steering damper manufacturers. The electronic steering damper provides just the right amount of damping based on what the bike is doing. Using input from the rear wheel speed sensor (provided via the engine ECU), the electronic steering dampers ECU determines the vehicle speed as well as the degree the bike is accelerating or decelerating.
STYLING & CRAFTSMANSHIP Wanting to ensure a bold design worthy of a model that carries both the Ninja and H2 names, the prime styling concept for the Ninja H2R was Intense Force design.
As a flagship for the Kawasaki brand, it needs to have presence, and styling that reflects its incredible performance. But the design is much more than cosmetic. While its edged styling certainly looks the part, the Ninja H2 and H2R also possesses a functional beauty: each piece of the bodywork was aerodynamically sculpted to enhance high-speed stability; the cowling design also maximizes cooling performance and heat dissipation, aiding the engines incredible output; and the ram air duct is ideally positioned to bring air to the supercharger.
More than any Kawasaki motorcycle to date, the Ninja H2 and H2R showcase craftsmanship, build quality and superb fit and finish

right down to the revised, high-tech silver-mirror paint specially developed for these models.
BODYWORK It is no accident that when viewed from the side, the Ninja H2 and H2R motorcycles do not have the aggressive forward-canted rake of most modern supersport motorcycles. While supersport bikes use their front-leaning attitude to aid quick steering, at the speeds for which the closed-course Ninja H2R motorcycle was designed, such a posture would create drag, which would hinder top speed potential.
The Ninja H2R front cowl is formed from lightweight carbon fiber and is designed to afford wind protection at ultra-high speed, with its tall screen designed to help create a wind-free pocket for the rider. Compact side cowls and under cowls were designed to assist with engine heat dissipation. The rear cowl has an extremely compact three-piece design. The center portion is taller, creating an aerodynamic form that helps smooth airflow as it passes the rider. Wind is also able to pass between the center and side pieces, further reducing air resistance.
The Ninja H2 motorcycle uses similar bodywork, although it is not made from carbon fiber. Mindful of its street use, it is equipped with a front headlight, mirrors and turn signals to make it fully road legal. It is also finished in a revised silver-mirror paint giving a high-quality metallic-style appearance.
GENERATING DOWNFORCE The Ninja H2R motorcycle features a number of aerodynamic devices to help ensure the front wheel has strong contact with the ground and to contribute towards the motorcycles high-speed stability. The design of the upper cowl incorporates a chin spoiler. Rather than being a cosmetic flourish, it produces downforce that contributes to high-speed stability. Further contributing to high-speed stability, the Ninja H2R motorcycle features carbon fiber wings mounted on the upper cowl in place of the mirrors. Additional two-blade wings appear on the side cowls featuring winglets and further add to the downforce generated by the chin spoiler and upper wings.
INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROLS The advanced, high-tech design of the instrumentation conveys the image of piloting a fighter jet. Handlebar control switches put all mode selection and display options at the riders fingertips. The new instrumentation design combines a full digital LCD screen with an analog-style tachometer. The LCD screen uses a black / white reverse display (white characters on a black background), contributing to the high-quality image. In addition to the digital speedometer and gear position indicator, display functions include: odometer, dual trip meters, current mileage, average mileage, fuel consumption, coolant temperature, boost indicator, boost (intake air chamber) temperature, stopwatch (lap timer), clock and the Economical Riding Indicator.
LIGHTING EQUIPMENT Ninja H2 is equipped with all the lights needed for street-legal operation. And with the exception of the bulb illuminating the license plate, all lighting equipment on the Ninja H2 uses LEDs. The Ninja H2R has no headlight or indicator but does have a rear brake light.
HIGH-PRECISION PRODUCTION Unlike a regular mass-production model, the high-precision production of the Ninja H2 and H2R requires greater hands-on participation by skilled Kawasaki craftsmen. So each step, from metalworking, treatment, welding and painting to assembly, fine-tuning and inspection is carefully attended to create a product of superior quality. Within the Kawasaki Akashi Factory in Japan, production takes place in an area dedicated exclusively to the Ninja H2R motorcycle.
