2025 Kawasaki Z125 Pro Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

ENGINE
• Simple and reliable air-cooled, SOHC, 2-valve Single is tuned for strong acceleration throughout the rev range.
• Cam profiles and intake port design contribute to the smooth, quick-revving engine character.
• Fuel injection ensures stable fuel delivery regardless of outside air temperature or atmospheric pressure. It also ensures reliable engine starting, whether the engine is hot or cold.
• The airbox is positioned above and forward of the cylinder head, contributing to the sporty power feeling and helping to minimize intake noise.
• 24 mm throttle body adds to the quick-revving character with its long-nose type injector.
• Stainless steel exhaust pipe offers excellent durability, while the under-engine muffler design contributes to a compact package as well as mass
centralization for light handling and increased maneuverability.
• Smart regulator with built-in microprocessor reviews the battery charging level and engine rpm, cutting the generating current when the battery is
fully charged or during acceleration to minimize power loss. The system also helps to improve fuel efficiency.
• 4-Speed transmission with manual clutch
• Link-type shift lever, similar to that found on largerdisplacement models, reduces the input load required to shift gears for a light shift touch. The cylinder is tilted forward 20 degrees to help reduce overall engine height.
• Lightweight flywheel lets the engine rev quickly for sharp response and direct power feeling.

Designed to have a sporty character, the quick-revving engine pulls smoothly from the bottom all the way to redline and provides superb passing performance for negotiating city traffic.

CHASSIS

• Highly rigid box-section swingarm enhances the handling while providing the strength for carrying a passenger.
• 30mm inverted front fork with lightweight aluminum upper triple clamp offers excellent rigidity and low unsprung weight for sporty riding potential. The fork settings also contribute to the Z125 PRO’s nimble handling.

• Tire sizes and tread pattern were selected to deliver sporty, nimble handling.
• Rear rim is wide enough to accommodate a larger 130 mm rear tire.
