Kawasaki's brilliant Versys has been given a new
look with different lights and new bodywork for 2010.
The updates to the often over-looked Versys come a year after the rest of
the ER-6 range was revamped and improves the looks with new front and rear
lights and a modified radiator cowl. The 62bhp 649cc parallel-twin motor
remains unchanged, as do the chassis and suspension.
The updated cosmetics give the bike a slimmer, sleeker look and Kawasaki
claim to have worked hard raising the quality of finish.
The new front lights are stacked above each other, the new rear light is LED
and – like the new Z1000 - there is also a new front mudguard.
In line with the Versys’ reputation as a consummate practical machine, there
are a number of detail changes along these lines, including revised mirrors
with improved visibility and new accessories such as handguards, heated
grips and a 12volt outlet. Revised footrests with hollow rubber inserts
reduce vibration.
Versatile, Distinctive, Affordable and Just
Plain Fun Now and then, a clean-sheet idea that just plain works appears
from out of nowhere, and everybody wonders why nobody thought of it before…
That's the Kawasaki Versys®. Following its debut just a couple of years ago,
the world's motorcycle press unanimously embraced the Versys' unique
combination of utility, versatility, affordability and just plain fun - and
they haven't stopped singing its praises. Motorcyclist magazine named it
"Motorcycle of the Year," and the Versys made top 10 lists around the world.
Luckily, the brains at Kawasaki who dreamed up the Versys are not afraid to
mess with success, so for 2010, there's even more to love.
Fresh new bodywork showcases the Versys' athletic-looking steel trellis
frame, gull-wing swingarm and compact engine, with a newly sculpted shape
that shows off the bike's dynamic flexibility and strength. A new stacked
dual-beam headlight leads the way, with a bigger, three-way adjustable
windscreen atop it that gives more options to more riders. Out back there's
a bright new Z1000-type LED tail light, and between the head and tail lights
all sorts of pieces have been restyled to reflect the Versys' quality,
including the radiator shrouds, mirrors, turn signals, engine covers and
rear fender.
Functionally, the Versys was tough to improve upon, but adding rubber
bushings to the rear engine mounts, and topping the footpegs with hollow
rubber inserts to better isolate the rider's feet from engine vibration,
resulted in a smoother, more relaxed ride.
The Versys' compact liquid-cooled fuel-injected 649cc parallel-twin engine
was the perfect powerplant for this light and nimble do-anything bike right
from the start: Lively enough for advanced riders and predictable enough to
inspire confidence in rank novices, the torquey twin delivers a deep ribbon
of torque in the lower and middle parts of its rev range, making the Versys
a perfect commuter and relaxed traveling companion. Its surprising genius
becomes readily apparent once the roads turn twisty, because despite its
comfort and civility, the fun-to-ride Versys also offers genuine sportbike
handling. And excellent fuel economy combined with a big, 5-gallon fuel tank
lets you go a long way between gas pumps.
Long-travel high-tech suspension is critical to the Versys' multi-role
mission. A Showa rear shock with two-stage damping firms up progressively as
the wheel moves through its stroke, providing an initially plush ride that
firms to near-sportbike levels as suspension loads escalate. The bike's
short, compact engine makes it possible to use a longer-than-average
gull-wing swingarm for reduction of throttle-induced suspension movement and
excellent handling. A dual-sport inspired, adjustable 41mm tapered-tube
inverted fork up front soaks up bumps big and small, and like the rear end,
firms up nicely as the pace increases.
Absolutely key to the Versys' success, a comfortable, carefully designed
cockpit provides a mostly upright, natural seating position and features
stepped seat constructed to provide optimum comfort for both rider and
passenger. And the bigger new windscreen and upgraded passenger seating
carry the comfort theme forward on the latest Versys. An easy-to-read and
informative instrument panel allows riders to quickly scan the gauges and
keep their eyes on the road. Possibly the most versatile motorcycle out
there, Versys excels at almost any task it's given, from gridlock traffic
jams, to canyon carving, to long-distance touring.
The Versys is one of those machines that exceeds the sum of its parts. Its
name, derived from “vertex” (Latin for pinnacle, summit, top) and “system,”
hints at its goal of offering a truly superior platform that maximizes fun
in any number of street riding situations. One ride is all it takes to
confirm that the Versys delivers on its any-street promise.
Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.
For 2010, the new Versys builds on the strengths of its predecessor, with
updated styling and a number of upgrades aimed at making it more practical
and fun to ride than ever! Cosmetic revisions give the new Versys a sharper
appearance and help reflect its nimble, sporty nature. Improved vibration
damping and upgraded passenger accommodations enhance touring and two-up
comfort, while revised mirrors, new tie-down hooks and a host of other
detail upgrades mean it’s better equipped than ever to provide maximum rider
enjoyment.
A truly versatile platform that maximizes enjoyment in several different
types of riding, the Kawasaki Versys™ is difficult to explain and impossible
to categorize. One ride is all it takes to prove the Versys is much more
than the sum of its parts.
Bumps and potholes are a reality in every day riding, so the Versys’
long-travel front fork and rear shock are well damped to cope with these
challenges. Its upright riding position and wide handlebars provide a very
comfortable place to spend a day on the road, while its 17” wheels and sport
tires make it an excellent choice for aggressive sport riding. The end
result is a machine that truly offers the suspension compliance of a dual
sport, the responsiveness and grip of a sportbike and the all-day comfort of
a light tourer.

Overview
FUN ANYWHERE
The Versys is one of those machines that exceeds the sum of its parts. Its
name, derived from "vertex" (Latin for pinnacle, summit, top) and "system,"
hints at its goal of offering a truly superior platform that maximizes fun
in any number of street riding situations. One ride is all it takes to
confirm that the Versys delivers on its any-street promise.
UNIQUE PACKAGE
Designed for the discerning enthusiast, the Versys offers a unique package,
comprised of long travel suspension & sporty 17" wheels, a slim, upright
riding position and a compact Parallel-Twin engine tuned for low-mid range
torque.
Highly acclaimed for its versatility and a playful character best understood

and suspension settings, all selected to maximize rider enjoyment on the
street. With its superb control and feedback, the Versys offers a high level
of rider confidence in numerous street-riding situations and accommodates a
variety of riding styles.
Long-travel suspension & sporty 17" wheels
The combination of long-travel suspension with stiff spring settings is one
of the keys to the active control offered by the Versys. In addition to
being easily able to cope with a variety of road conditions and offering
confidence-inspiring feedback to the rider, the Versys allows riders to
consciously control the bike's forward-rear weight balance - adding a new
dimension of controllability for riders to explore.
Slim, upright riding position
A slim, upright riding position with wide handlebars offers both a naturally
relaxed posture and great controllability, and allows riders to experiment
with a number of riding styles. Whether riding in the hills or navigating
city traffic, the clear, unobstructed view afforded by the tall seat height
and upright position, make it easy to see and avoid potential problems on
the road ahead.
Compact Parallel-Twin engine tuned for low-mid range torque
A compact Parallel Twin engine tuned for low-mid range torque delivers a
satisfying surge of acceleration from starts and out of corners. The
controlled response of the carefully tuned engine offers riders the
confidence to get on the gas at any rpm.
ESSENTIAL PACKAGE MAINTAINED
For 2010, the new Versys maintains the essential package of its predecessor,
but new styling and a number of other upgrades mean it is more fun to ride
than ever.
Refined styling & finish
The new Versys has new sharper styling, better reflecting its nimble, sporty
nature. A number of cosmetic changes give it a slimmer, sleeker look, and
the sculpted new bodywork adds to the Versys' dynamic image. Like an
athlete, the new model exudes flexibility and strength. Further, a more
refined finish contributes to its higher-quality appearance.
Additional upgrades
Enhanced tandem comfort, revised mirrors with improved visibility, new
accessories mean the new Versys is better equipped than ever to provide a
fun street riding experience.
Suspension & Wheels
LONG-TRAVEL SUSPENSION & SPORTY 17" WHEELS
Not all streets in the real world are made of circuit-smooth pavement. Road
imperfections (bumps, potholes) are far from rare, and some streets are not
even paved (such as cobblestone, etc). While the Versys was not designed for
off-road use, its long-travel front fork and rear shock were specially
selected to cope with any street conditions it may come across, and, along
with its 17" wheels, enable aggressive sport riding. Further, the
long-travel suspension provides an added dimension of controllability: the
ability to consciously control the bike's front-rear weight transfer gives
riders an additional riding element to explore.
o The long stroke of the inverted front fork and offset laydown rear shock
allow experienced riders to actively control the bike's front-rear weight
balance. Purposely increasing braking force to compress the front suspension
before a corner reduces the caster, resulting in quicker steering.
Alternatively, the rider can opt to brake less aggressively, maintaining the
bike's attitude for a smooth, stable turn in. The Versys puts this choice in
the hands of the rider, so the same corner can be enjoyed in a number of
different ways.
o Both the front fork and rear shock combine long travel with stiff springs.
Standard off-road-style long-travel suspension allows a bike to fly over
bumps and ruts with ease, but this type of suspension was deemed to be too
mushy for the kind of riding we wanted to offer. Likewise with sport bike
suspension, road holding is superb, but performance is best on (relatively)
smooth roads. Combining both long travel and stiff springs yields the
benefits of both off-road-style and sport-bike suspension, offering
excellent road holding in a wide range of street riding conditions and
superb feedback, enabling aggressive sport riding.
o In addition to being tapered, the outer tubes of the 41 mm inverted front
fork are relatively short (even at full compression, a large portion of the
inner tubes remain visible) to provide the ideal stiffness balance to
compliment chassis settings.
o In order to accommodate the longer stroke of the rear suspension, an
aluminium gull-type swingarm was chosen. The use of aluminium helps reduce
unsprung weight.
o In addition to being lighter, using a simple non-link type rear shock
offers more direct feedback from the rear wheel, contributing to greater
rider "feel." The excellent feedback clearly communicates the bike's limits,
increasing rider confidence.
o The ability of the rear suspension to soak up bumps and ruts was the key
to being able to ride over cobblestone streets and handle road imperfections
like rocks and potholes, etc. Consequently, a great deal of development time
was devoted to the tuning of the Showa rear shock unit. The high-grade unit
makes use of a free piston and 2-stage damping valves to ensure smooth
action at the initial part of the compression stroke and firmer damping near
full compression, giving a more planted feel.
o This careful attention to the tuning of the rear suspension ensures the
Versys can be ridden aggressively and with confidence through city streets,
be they paved, brick or cobblestone.
o Both the front and rear suspension have adjustable rebound damping and
preload, offering riders a range of adjustability to experiment with should
they so choose.
o 17" wheels, front and rear, contribute to the bike's quick steering. The
120 mm front tire offers an excellent balance of quick steering and front
wheel traction. Tire sizes are as follows:
Front: 120/60ZR17M/C 58W
Rear: 160/60ZR17M/C 69W
Chassis
SLIM, UPRIGHT RIDING POSITION
When engineers considered the kind of riding they wanted to offer, and the
speed range most often used in everyday riding, a naturally relaxed posture
and the high controllability of a slim, upright position with wide
handlebars was deemed ideal. Because it would have a great impact on rider
control and enjoyment, a substantial amount of development time and effort
was devoted to fine-tuning the riding position.
o The combination of a compact Parallel Twin engine and a narrow,
lightweight trellis frame enabled by the offset laydown rear suspension is
the key to the Versys' slim riding position.
o A short-style tank positions the rider closer to the front wheel for
increased controllability and offers a greater choice of forward-rear
sitting positions.
o The seat's slim design and the knee grip characteristics of the tank
afford good freedom of movement, allowing the riders to change sitting
position should they so choose. Thicker urethane increases comfort and
contributes to a seat height that places the rider in a position of fun
controllability. The stepped shape of the two-piece seat also provides
support for the rider when accelerating.
o Complementing the wide handlebar, the footpegs are positioned low and
slightly forward of the seat.
o Together, all these points result in a very natural, relaxed position
designed to offer the rider a high level of machine control. The upright
riding position accommodates a variety of riding styles (lean-in, no-lean,
lean-out), broadening the spectrum of riding enjoyment and also offers a
high level of comfort, a great benefit for touring. This combination of
comfort and control is one of the things that makes the Versys so much fun
to ride.
o When combined with the long-stroke suspension, the upright riding position
and higher seat height offer a commanding view of the road ahead -
especially beneficial when navigating city traffic or winding roads in the
hills.
SLEEK, FLICKABLE CHASSIS
The key to the Versys' sleek chassis is its compact Parallel Twin engine,
which allows the use of a slim, lightweight frame. Together with the
forward-located seat position and the under-engine muffler, this
engine-frame combination delivers a highly centralized mass distribution,
which contributes to the highly agile package. High priority was given to
achieving chassis settings that deliver a high level of feedback, better
enabling the rider to recognize the bike's limits.
o The base frame construction and stiffness balance were set to offer a high
level of feedback to the rider.
o The highly compact engine and under-engine muffler contribute to mass
centralization. The front cowl (including instrument panel and headlight
unit) is mounted directly to the frame, minimizing its effect on handling.
o The bike's tall seat height and long-stroke suspension result in a higher
CG. The resulting increase in agility makes the Versys even more fun to
control.
o Chassis dimensions provide a balance of flickability and high-speed
stability. (Although the Versys' performance is optimized for everyday speed
range, it is quite happy to oblige riders who wish to travel at higher
speeds.) With a wheelbase of 1,415 mm, the Versys can still be considered a
"short wheelbase" model, and accordingly it delivers a high level of
agility.
OTHER CONTROL-ENHANCING FEATURES
o Triple petal disc brakes offer superb stopping power and feel at the
lever. 5 mm thick front discs contribute to enhanced controllability.
WIND PROTECTION
An adjustable windscreen helps reduce wind noise and helmet buffeting,
creating a serene space behind which to enjoy high-speed riding.
o *NEW* The adjustable windscreen has three different settings (raised,
standard, tilted forward), allowing riders to tailor its position to suit
their preferences. (Adjusting the bolt-mounted windscreen requires a 4 mm
hexagonal wrench.)
o An optional tall screen accessory will be made available soon.
TOURING POTENTIAL
For riders who prefer longer excursions, a comfortable seat, relaxed riding
position, large-volume fuel tank, protection from the adjustable windscreen,
and enhanced touring potential make the Versys a very capable touring
partner. A number of optional accessories further increase the Versys'
touring potential.
o Along with the comfortable seat, the relaxed position enables riders to
spend long hours in the saddle.
o A 19-litre fuel tank combined with excellent fuel economy offers an ample
touring range.
o *NEW* A number of new accessories further contribute to touring comfort:
hand protectors, heated grips with 5 levels of adjustment, and a 12 V
outlet. As with the previous model, taller windscreen, vario windscreen and
frame sliders are also available.
o In addition to the optional top-case, specially designed large-volume GIVI
panniers are available as accessories. Each pannier can hold a full-face
helmet and is rated for 5 kg (like the top case).
o Passenger footpeg stays and the reinforced sub-frame were designed to
accommodate the optional panniers and top case. The sub-frame's additional
strength contributes to increased stability when carrying luggage or a
passenger.
o Thanks to the under-engine muffler, the bike's profile can stay relatively
slim even with the panniers attached.
o *NEW* Hooks added to the underside of the tail cowl provide additional
tie-down points for securing luggage.
TANDEM COMFORT
Sometimes sharing the ride is half the fun. The Versys has a number of
features that make tandem riding enjoyable for both rider and passenger.
o Each part of the two-piece seat was designed with different thickness and
firmness of urethane, optimizing comfort for both the rider and passenger.
o *NEW* Passenger position was also designed to offer a natural seating
position. Revised tandem grab bars are flatter, easier to hold and
positioned further out for greater freedom of movement.
o *NEW* Fine-tuned passenger seat/pegs/grab bar relationship offers enhanced
passenger comfort.
o *NEW* Rubber added to the passenger footpegs also contributes to the
enhanced passenger comfort.
o The comfort afforded by the slim layout (possibly thanks to the
under-engine muffler) also extends to the passenger. A further benefit is
that heat is kept away from the passenger.
o Layout is such that a passenger can also be comfortably accommodated when
the optional panniers are attached.
SHARPER NEW STYLING
The 2010 Versys receives a sharper new styling package that better reflects
its sporty nature. The updates include a more refined finish that gives the
bike a higher-quality feel.
o *NEW* The new stacked dual headlamp design gives the Versys a slimmer
appearance and speaks to its nimble handling. Using a single position lamp
further contriboutes to the slim appearance.
o *NEW* Sculpted bodywork of the new front cowling and side fairing adds to
the Verosys' dynamic image. Like an athlete, the image is one of flexibility
and strength.
o *NEW* Revised radiator shrouds and swingarm pivot covers enhance
appearance and contribute to the high-quality finish.
o *NEW* Slimmer front turn signals compliment the sharp new image.
Positioned higher and further forward they help make the bike more visible.
o *NEW* Diamond-shaped mirrors contribute to the sharper styling. Positioned
higher and further outward, they also offer improved rearward visibility.

Engine
COMPACT PARALLEL-TWIN ENGINE TUNED FOR LOW-MID RANGE TORQUE
When tuning the 649 cc Parallel Twin engine, our engineers' first priority
was to find a throttle response that balanced a powerful feeling and a
quick-revving character. To optimize performance for everyday riding, care
was taken to maximize low-mid range torque. When opening the throttle,
riders will notice that the engineers succeeded in creating an extremely
smooth and powerful engine character that offers both a high level of
control when making minute throttle adjustments and a gratifying rush of
acceleration in the lower rpm ranges.
o Intake and exhaust cams with short operating angles move the torque curve
toward the lower end of the rpm range.
o To achieve smooth power and torque curves, the exhaust system makes use of
a balance tube.
o Fuel injection settings for the Versys were selected primarily to deliver
a strong powerful feeling when the throttle is opened.
o Performance and feel were optimized for the mid-range (3,000-6,000 rpm).
However, in the low-rpm range (below 3,000 rpm), power delivery is very
smooth, and even above 6,000 rpm, power and torque curves continue on
without dropping off suddenly.
o The above settings result in a performance that favours the speeds most
used in everyday riding. Corner pick-up is excellent: the powerful mid-range
delivers a satisfying surge of acceleration and the flat, step-free torque
curve and smooth engine response let riders open the throttle with
confidence - at any rpm.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
o Triangular layout of the crankshaft and transmission shafts make the
engine very short front-to-back.
o Transmission input shaft, output shaft and change drum are contained in a
"cassette"-style package that both allows a compact layout and facilitates
transmission maintenance chores.
o Semi-dry sump design reduces engine height.
o Plated, liner-less cylinder is lightweight, and the narrow cylinder pitch
reduces engine width.
o Auto-fast idle system simplifies starting and ensures the catalyser
reaches optimum temperature quickly.
o Simplified cooling system routes coolant through the engine cases to the
cylinder and head to reduce external plumbing.
o 180° crankshaft drives a balancer shaft for silky smooth engine operation.
o Oil jets located in the rod big-ends direct oil to the undersides of the
pistons for added cooling.
o With the large radiator and under-engine muffler, the Versys offers
superior comfort from a heat dissipation perspective.
