Pressed aluminum swingarm replaces the steel square-tube piece of the Z750. The new swingarm is lighter and contributes to the Z750R’s higher-grade appearance. The sculpted design is based on that of the 07-09MY Z1000, featuring the same left side, but a newly designed right side to be able to better accommodate the 180 mm rear tire used by the Z750R.Instrumentation
Sporty instrumentation gives at-a-glance information to the rider. Black-backed analogue-style tachometer is complemented by an orange LCD display with digital speedometer, odometer, trip meter, water temp, fuel gauge, clock, etc.High-grade Brakes
Radial-mount, opposed 4-piston front calipers gripping thicker (t4.5 mm >> t6 mm) 300 mm petal discs deliver increased braking performance and enhanced feel.
Radial-pump front brake master cylinder also contributes to the superb control and feels offered by the new calipers. Steel-braided lines offering more direct feel and complete the front brake package.Rear shock
At the rear, the Bottom-link Uni-Trak rear suspension features a nitrogen gas-charged shock with piggyback reservoir. The rear suspension settings complement those of the front fork: suspension action is excellent, offering exceptional road holding. The increased cooling performance from the addition of the piggyback reservoir enables harder riding.Front fork
41mm inverted front fork from the 07-09MY Z1000 delivers brilliant steering performance. Firmer damping in the bottom half complements smooth action in the top half of the stroke. This gives the feeling of a long-stroke suspension initially, followed by a solid, planted feel in corners.Both sides of the front fork now feature rebound damping adjustability, enabling more precise settings. (Preload adjustability for both tubes available as before.)Engine
