• Dual 42mm throttle bodies with atomizing fuel injectors produce a fine fuel mist for better combustion and fuel consumption

Dual Adjustable Rear Air-Shocks

• Features air-adjustment to help compensate for passenger and luggage variations
• 4-way rebound damping adjustments help tune the suspension to suit the rider’s preference
• Voyager-specific settings match the load carrying and long distance touring requirements inherent in this type of motorcycle

Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) System

• Fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of intake air (via throttle valve angle) and fuel (via fuel injector timing) delivered to the engine
• Optimized fuel injector timing and throttle valve position result in accurate, powerful engine response
• Control of both fuel injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control
• From the rider’s perspective, the ETV works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip is still connected to cables, so the feel at the grip is the same
• Twisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU, which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motor
• Accurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
• APS and TPS send two sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failure

Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-Braking Technology (K=Act II) ABS

• Voyager ABS features Kawasaki’s sophisticated K-ACT II system, which helps riders to execute balanced braking. Designed to complement the riders’ brake inputs, the system distributes the ideal amount of brake pressure to maximize braking efficiency
• Low battery mode maintains ABS function while reducing signal frequency to conserve power when needed
• For increased controllability in tight parking lots and when executing U-turns, K-ACT’s coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mph
• ABS function is disengaged at speeds below four mph
• Dual 300mm front disc brakes with four-piston calipers and a two-piston rear disc brake for sure, powerful stops
