2012 Kawasaki ER-6n – Specifications

By | October 14, 2011 | Kawasaki, Naked, Upcomings, What's New |

The ER-6n is the latest Kawasaki to be evolved for 2012 with increased engine performance and more aggressive styling.

2012 Kawasaki ER-6n - Specifications

The chassis has been made slimmer, as it has on the ER-6f, with a comfortable new seat. The naked bike is very similar mechanically to the faired ER-6f and so receives the same updates: twin-tube steel frame, new swingarm and retuned engine. ABS is an optional extra which Kawasaki said is the ‘latest-spec lightweight and compact unit’.

There’s also a new, apparently, easier-to-read instrument panel with remaining range, fuel consumption and an economical riding indicator. Kawasaki are aiming the bike at new riders or experienced riders looking for a fun little run-around.

The earlier models of the ER-6f came under fire from certain sections for low quality fit and finish which is perhaps why Kawasaki thought to add the line ‘craftsmanship eveident in the smallest details.’

All-new double-pipe perimeter-style frame
Like on its predecessor, the all-new double-pipe perimeter-style frame is a key component of the ER-6n’s identity. As before, the new bodywork accentuates the frame, rather than hiding it. The double-pipe design of the new frame, made from high-tensile steel, contributes to the bike’s lightweight appearance.

Taller fuel tank
The fuel tank is 20 mm taller, helping to visually concentrate the ER-6n’s mass at the front of the bike. The rear of the tank slopes back in a straight line to the seat.

Lighter Handling
The rigidity balance of the double-pipe frame and swingarm contributes to a lighter, easier handling package. Rigid-mount engine is a stressed member, contributing to the frame’s idealised rigidity balance.

The swingarm’s new double-pipe design makes use of a D-section tube (upper right tube) for optimal rigidity. Revised suspension has longer stroke front and rear, offering both sporty handling >> Read More

The new design features a two-piece seat with thicker foam for more comfort.Improvements continue with an all-new twin-pipe perimeter frame that’s been installed for more rigidity.

While providing more strength overall to the design, the trellis layout keeps its narrow-waisted profile that helps keep its seat height lower. Even with the narrow frame, however, sticklers will be quick to point out the 2012 Ninja 650 is 0.6 inches taller than previous models. The 41mm front fork and single shock rear out back include new settings along with increased wheel travel, with a new backbone-type subframe offering a 10% increase in maximum carrying capacity.
