good stuff .. can you do the calculation with a 16 tooth front ? I wonder if this will prove our theory that it opens up the intermediate gears.
My 2014 Ninja 1000 ABS with 2400 miles already Today for first time early in the morning in a complete empty straigh line i pushed up to the limit. For my surprise the engine cut (The ECU) at 160 Mph exactly. I dont know this bike has a speed limiter. I am very surprise how quick the bike went to 160Mph. I am super happy with the bike and the performance. I am posting this here to show the top with the stock gearing.
The previous gen sixth gear ratio was 25/22=1.136, and the 2014-15 sixth gear ratio is 31/28=1.107. Everything else is unchanged.Is Kawasaki's higher 6th gear claim actually real for the 2014 and 2015 bikes?
The bike does have a limiter which cuts in at 154, it works off the ABS sensor through the ECU. There is no limiter on the Z model which shares the identical motor. This does not make much sense but Kawasaki said they did not limit the Z because its naked.My 2014 Ninja 1000 ABS with 2400 miles already Today for first time early in the morning in a complete empty straigh line i pushed up to the limit.

This is interesting. My bike does not have the limit at 154Mph. At least the odometer say 160 Mph when does the limit. Its possible that real miles is 154 Mph. I will try to make another one with a Go-Pro on it and my iphone with GPS on and the app to catch the real GPS miles.The bike does have a limiter which cuts in at 154, it works off the ABS sensor through the ECU.
