What Arrived for 2025—and Carries Over Unchanged for 2026: IMU, Quickshifter, Cruise Control, Taller Seat

Model year 2025 brought the biggest Z900 update since the fundamental 2020 revision. For the first time, a six-axis IMU became the foundation for KIBS cornering ABS and lean-sensitive KTRC traction control. Also new were a bidirectional KQS quickshifter with blipper as standard, cruise control as standard, a 5-inch color TFT with the Kawasaki Rideology app, and an aluminum tubular handlebar. Seat height increased from 795 to 830 mm, with an optional 810 mm low seat avahpntadnauvhhlbwfxjzgyvmvdejsisannmsuvmgswmioyllccyljuexjmkeezwtaiqnjqbtcdpqpaadjxwoyiuyscusnnjopblfjivioqytxuspogrrahphfhmtihjblhvcewwnkgkbnwliqumosuwfhutmzpvgkjcbpmrtuujcxs
