2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650R: MD First Ride

The Ninja 650R’s engine is an all new, liquid-cooled parallel twin powerplant that was designed to be extremely compact and lightweight. In fact, the 649cc DOHC 4-valve per cylinder engine is even smaller and lighter than the parallel twin used in the Ninja 500! kawasaki accomplished this by using a triangular layout of the crankshaft and transmission shafts to reduce front-to-back length, using a semi-dry sump system to reduce height, and using internal design features like plated, liner-less cylinders to reduce engine width.

The 650R powerplant was tuned for smooth, rider-friendly low-end and midrange power, and dual throttle valves in the 38mm Keihin throttle bodies help to provide smooth response and precise roll-on power. The motor was also designed to meet stringent Euro 3 emissions standards, which are even stricter than those in California.
