About the Kawasaki Ninja H2R

Overview

The Kawasaki Ninja H2R is a motorcycle from Kawasaki. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 998 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 998 cc 4-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 305.75 bhp at 14,000 rpm and 165 Nm of torque at 12,500 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 12,500 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (76 mm x 55 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 1435 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider. The claimed top speed is 400 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Its frame is trellis, high-tensile steel with swingarm mounting plate. At the front, the suspension is Ø 43 mm inverted fork with rebound and compression damping. At the rear, it is new Uni-Trak, Öhlins TTX36 gas-charged shock with piggyback reservoir. Braking is by a disc at the front and a disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 120/600-17 at the front and 190/650-17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 830 mm off the ground, which is on the tall side, so shorter riders may want to try it first. It weighs 216 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 130 mm — low, so take speed breakers and steep ramps slowly. It is 2,070 mm long, with 1,450 mm between the axles. It carries 17 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes a semi-digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, call and SMS alerts and quickshifter. Safety equipment includes traction control and low fuel indicator.

Care notes for this model

Owning the Kawasaki Ninja H2R

Maintaining the Kawasaki Ninja H2R

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc and Disc brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 120/600-17 / 190/650-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12V 8.6Ah (10HR). Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Kawasaki Ninja H2R specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Trellis frame
A frame built from tubes arranged in triangles, which gives strength without much weight.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
