More content please! The downshift autoblip sounds pretty smooth! Is it just me, or does anyone else see the monitor showing 81 horsepower and 29 ftlb of torque at the start of the clip?!

Edit: It's not hp & torque. Straight to jail.

I SEE DYNO NUMBERS

Edit: No I didn't

I SEE DYNO NUMBERS

I THOUGHT SOOOOO

 

[sloth]

Apparently with stock exhaust, no less. Knowing how stock Kawi ECUs are up top, I assume there is a tune involved as well.

Edit: I didn't see anything, therefore this assumption is bad

I was wondering the same thing. If the data was from a different tune and runs. If it posted 81hp with the stock pipe…wow.

The 29.333 number is slowly decreasing, weird, not sure. And 81 has no fractional part, also weird. Perhaps unrelated numbers. Seems unlikely that a bike rated 26.5 tq would ever post 29.3, perhaps those are "corrected" numbers based on monitored atmospheric conditions, but even then, that's a 10% high tq number. Maybe someone that has had face time with a dyno is familiar with that screen layout.

Good catch, not torque then. Perhaps the 81 is ambient temp? The software appears to be dynojet, with the red and white logo inside the instrument dials. I'm trying to find reference photos.

Does this mean you'll need to enable the quick shift and autoblip after each powercycle?

 

[ithaca00]

From a different video of theirs, here's a higher resolution version of the screen. The lower right panels are indeed barometric pressure (in-hg) and temperature (*F). Above that IS the torque reading and I only see it reaching about 20 ft lbs in the original video.

Gleaming even more details from the OG video. The indicated speed only reaches about 80-100mph and the revs only get to about 9k.

 

[sloth]

LOL we were hoodwinked. That's pressure in inHg and Temperature in *F. I can just make them both out.

Surely not, I don't think any modern motorcycle requires that currently.

 

[misnblu]

I wonder if it can be programmed to only upshift in QS mode and standard clutch rev match down shift? 🧐🤔

I'm old school and still enjoy the rev match downshift similar to me heel toe shifting my car. 😁

Notice how the RPM gauge has 4k-11.5k hash marks and it's no higher than 11.5k which also just happens to be the US/CDN rev limiter setting.

Seems like it makes 22.44 ft-lbs @ 11.5k rpm, and goes 110mph at that speed with what I'm reading there.

Is it normally this dodgy to get information on something that is supposed to be arriving so "soon"?

I think that screen cap is from some other random bike. Graves has only made 2 zx4rr videos.

I don't think this is the right assumption. The left panels have ZX6 labels, the throttle position is 0, and the torque is indicative of running the bike up to 5th in preparation for a pull. The newer 636s have a redline stock of 15.5K RPM. I think you're reading too far into the picture.

 

[sloth]

Here's the calculation for 5th gear at the specified RPM on the specs for a 636. Looks very similar.

Using the specs out of the owner's manual, here's the same for the zx4rr:

I have to think that folks from Kawasaki, Graves, etc are laughing at every excited fact we pull out that's way off the mark 😂

Correct. It's from a Ninja 400 velocity stack video.

My dumb ass feels seen:

It’s a custom layout. No power numbers where recorded. This video was done during the break in procedure. We thought it would be helpful to know how to turn on the shifter / auto blip and let people listen to the operation of these rider aids. Such a sweet bike!
