The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is a discontinued 1043 cc liquid-cooled motorcycle with a 6-speed gearbox. BikeDekho and BikeWale list 120 PS @ 9000 rpm maximum power and 102 Nm @ 7500 rpm maximum torque. It has a 21 L fuel tank and a 255 kg kerb weight.
The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is an adventure tourer motorcycle from Kawasaki. It was launched in 2015 and has since been discontinued (production ended around 2024). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Adventure bikes are built to travel long distances on good and bad roads alike, typically with long-travel suspension and an upright riding position. With a 1,043 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.
Power comes from a 1,043 cc 4-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 120 PS at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (77 mm x 56 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 471 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider. The claimed top speed is 240 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.
Its frame is Twin-tube, aluminium. At the front, the suspension is ø43 mm inverted fork with rebound damping (right-side) and spring preload adjustability / 150 mm. At the rear, it is horizontal Back-link, gas-charged, with rebound damping and remote spring preload adjustability / 152 mm. Braking is by twin 310 mm discs at the front and a 250 mm 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 — 120/70-ZR17 at the front and 180/55-ZR17 at the rear.
The seat is 820 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 255 kg ready to ride, which is heavy, so parking and tight U-turns need care. Ground clearance is 150 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,270 mm long, with 1,520 mm between the axles. It carries 21 L of fuel.
Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, cruise control and windscreen. Safety equipment includes traction control and low fuel indicator.

It is best suited to long-distance touring and roads of mixed quality. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹14,999
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
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 is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Double Disc, 310 mm and Disc, 250 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
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.
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.
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.
This bike runs 120/70-ZR17 / 180/55-ZR17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as Maintenance Free. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
