2012 Kawasaki ER-6n – Specifications

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.’

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

One of the most visible changes is the redesigned exhaust system. The Ninja 650’s stubby, low-slung exhaust has become a trademark with the design and for 2012 the system receives a new connector pipe as well as a higher-volume three-chamber muffler assembly.
