S KTRC Sport Kawasaki Traction Control
With S-KTRC, Kawasaki becomes the first Japanese manufacturer to deliver a race-bred traction-control system to the masses. As an evolution from what was learned on the MotoGP stage, Kawasaki points out that this traction-control system has been developed “to help riders push harder on the track by maximizing acceleration.”
Whereas the KTRC on the Concours 14 is designed primarily for safety, the S-KTRC helps reduce lap times by allowing a certain amount of slip before intervening. As long as “effective traction” is maintained, the TC will still allow power slides and wheelies.
Wheel-speed sensors are a key component of OEM TC systems, but S-KTRC does without an accelerometer (Ducati) or a gyro bank-angle input (BMW). The Kawi system (in development for five years) uses a Mitsubishi ECU to monitor engine speed, throttle position, acceleration rate and comparative wheel speeds to judge the bike’s slip angle, retarding ignition timing if the tires need to be reined back in. Data points are examined an incredible 200 times per second! By doing without accelerometer or bank-angle sensors, S-KTRC has no fixed maps, so the TC is able to adapt to modifications like exhaust systems or engine tweaks.
Kawasaki claims its TC system is so sophisticated that it can predict when traction conditions “are about to become unfavorable,” so it can engage mildly before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction, minimizing harsh intervention.
Three levels of TC can be dialed in from handlebar switchgear, even while moving, and it can be switched off (while stopped) if you’re especially brave. Your chosen TC setting is stored in memory – like the Ronco Rotisserie, just set it and forget it!
The bottom of the new gauge pack has a 7-section bar-graph display showing the amount of TC intervention. Jeff Herzog, Kawasaki’s senior media relations coordinator and a former racer, said he saw only one bar light up during a full-throttle corner exit over a racetrack’s curb. “You’ll be amazed how often you’ll be able to use full throttle,” he says.

2011 Road Star Silverado S Features
- Engine Features - The New 2011 Road Star Silverado S computer-controlled fuel injection monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under nearly all conditions. 102-cubic-inch (1670cc) air-cooled, pushrod OHV 48-degree V-twin pumps out huge amounts of torque barely off idle for brisk acceleration and fantastic overall cruising performance. Hydraulic valve lifters driven by twin camshafts deliver exceptional performance and less maintenance. Ceramic composite cylinder bore plating ensures greater durability and optimal heat dissipation. Smooth-shifting five-speed transmission with 5th-gear overdrive delivers outstanding cruising performance with low rpm at highway speeds. Dry sump lubrication system uses a handy spin-on filter and creates lower center of gravity by helping keep overall engine height to a minimum. Electric starting system features solenoid-activated auto-decompressor for easy, dependable starting. Two-into-two exhaust system features beefy, staggered shotgun dual pipes putting out a soulful V-twin exhaust tune.
- Chassis Features - The New 2011 Road Star Silverado S solid-mounted engine housed in specially designed rigid-look, double-cradle frame features a stylish 32-degree rake. Extra-long 66.5-inch wheelbase creates long and low retro profile, added rider comfort and well-balanced handling. Telescopic 43mm front forks with stainless-steel covers and 5.5 inches of travel stylishly smooth out the bumps. Out-of-sight link-type, preload-adjustable rear shock provides 4.3 inches of wheel travel for great handling and a plush ride. The Silverado S comes equipped with 16-inch cast wheels and the Silverado is shod with 16-inch spoke wheels. Tubeless tires are used for a classic, yet sporty look while providing confidence-inspired handling and excellent grip. Dual 298mm front disc brakes feature four-piston calipers with aluminum pistons and sintered brake pads for strong, linear stopping power, backed up by a 320mm single rear disc. Lightweight and high-strength final drive belt provides long life and quiet operation.

electric motor Zero S
Awards received by Zero is a new category in the annual event featuring technological advances in electric and hybrid vehicles.
This Year Zero comes with some improvements in a variety of fronts, both in terms of technical and appearance. Not only the Zero S, but other models such as the Zero DS is also changing. Now, each model is able to charge the battery power two times faster than previous models.
In addition, motorists are also given other benefits, namely the charging battery that can be used in public J1772 using optional accessories. This tool is the first in electric motorcycle.

2011 BMW K 1300 S
The 2011 BMW K-1300-S supreme power with the sportiest of understatement. Why not try it out right away! With this jet, the whole concept of speed moves into a new dimension. This in-line 4-cylinder delivers its power in such a way that you can almost feel it when standing still. That’s because within the engine speed ranges in which you move more than 80% of the time i.e. the lower and medium speed ranges it delivers performance from the first yard. The real thing. And in terms of safety features, this machine is unique: ABS as standard with ASC and ESA optional. And the extras are amazing: race through the gears with the automatic shift function, pure racing in view with the 2D dashboard.
2011 BMW K-1300-S Features
Enjoying dynamics requires safety down to the last detail. And that is something that BMW Motorrad has been constantly reinventing for more than 20 years. The K-1300-S enjoys an excellent reputation when it comes to the fastest connection from A to B – and it fully deserves to:
High tech for everyday use
The K-1300-S is a unique interpretation of the speedbike theme. It represents a union of fascinating and innovative high-performance engineering combined with excellent all-round and everyday suitability, not to mention excellent safety.
175 hp and 140 Nm: power and understatement
Not that this jet was ever slow, but in comparison with its predecessor, its engine performance and torque specifications have been increased even more, something which, this being a genuine BMW, it bears discreetly. After all, it is a superior pioneer in its class.
The very latest streamline shape.
Maybe there is such a thing as perfect aerodynamics. And perfect design. The K 1300 S combines both of these with its own line, one which others will spend a long time searching for.
The seat of speed.
Like barely any other speedbike, the K-1300-S has managed to make the connection between the stable chassis characteristics of a supersport machine and ergonomic design for thousands of kilometres. Of course. It is a BMW.
Individual safety.
The diverse optional extras make the K-1300-S even more individual. In particular, the new ESA II, which allows the rider to configure his chassis settings on the move, once again underlines BMW Motorrads innovative lead – and not only in terms of safety.
