Kawasaki’s History of Speed Interestingly, Kawasaki’s relentless quest for more acceleration dates back the decade in which K&N was founded. The Kawasaki H1, a raucous 2-stroke triple, left blue smoke and burnout marks on the roads in 1969. Yes, that’s the same year that K&N invented the reusable, high-flow air filter. Coincidence? We think not. Kawasaki’s fire-breathing H1 was just the first of the company’s models to rise to “Speed King” status. The legendary “Z” series was born in the early 1970s with the inline 4-cylinder, 900cc Z1. In the decade of bell-bottoms and tie-dye, the Z series expanded first to 1000cc and then the monstrous inline 6-cylinder Z1300. The early 1980s brought a continued refinement of the Z series and by the middle of the decade, the GPz line of speedsters emerged from the Japanese mist. The late 1980s spelled the birth of a true speed legend. The iconic ZX-10 Ninja was an industry-changing model.
The change of the millennium brought with it refined, cutting-edge, and exciting iterations of Kawasaki speedsters. The modern ZX-10 and ZX-14 sport bikes are staples on the racetrack, drag strip, and anywhere else that speed is king. On the street, the modern ZX bikes bring “power to the people.” K&N Performance for the ZX-10 It is no secret that more airflow means the potential for more power and acceleration, and that's just what K&N air filters are all about. Your 2011 – 2015 ZX-10 will breathe easier with the free-flowing K&N KA-1011 direct replacement air filter. The cotton gauze filter element is fully washable and reusable, making it a smart and economical performance upgrade for the ZX-10. If you ride the newest incarnations of the ZX-10, K&N has developed the KA-1016 high flow air filter. The KA-1016 fits the 2016 and 2017 ZX-10R and is carefully engineered to supply more air to those four thirsty cylinders.
If your 2011 – 2015 ZX-10 is a race bike or a track-day mount, K&N has you covered with the race-specific KA-1011R. The KA-1011R is designed with just two layers of the oiled, cotton gauze filter media for the ultimate in airflow for track-only use. Obviously, you also want your ZX-10’s lifeblood to run clean and free. The K&N KN-303 and KN-303C (chrome version) oil filters fit the 2011-2017 ZX-10 and include the ultra convenient 17mm nut on the housing for easy removal. All K&N oil filters are built with a heavy duty housing as well as efficient internal filtration media for extreme conditions. K&N Performance for the ZX-14 Owners of the 2006-2011 ZX-14 know that it is a horsepower producing monster. However, performance is addictive and Ninja owners are a breed that can’t get enough of the good stuff. K&N offers a high flow air filter for the big Kawasaki.
This filter is emissions legal in all 50 states. Importantly, the KA-1406 air filter will not void the vehicle warranty and works perfectly with the factory electronics in the ZX-14. K&N also has your ZX-14 oil filtration needs covered. The KN-303 and KN-303C oil filters fit ZX-14 and ZX-14R models from 2006 - 2017. Take a look at the extensive lists below for the K&N filters applications for the modern Ninja models. For all of your filtration needs, consult K&N’s easy to use application tool.
