2010 Z1000 horsepower rating

128 hp @ the rear wheel and 72 ft/lbs according to motorcycle.com

feels like hight 120s or so, I feel that remapping and intake/pipe will help way more than the top sporbikes though. I saw Apro's map at 143, don't know if this is realistic, but it's not out of the relm of reality.

I wonder if it would work to get some much shorter louder pipes. A little extra power out of those shorties can be worth the noise.

I dont think it will make a difference. That muffler is the gusts of the exhaust. The chrome pipes are essentially tips! So if you are looking for power more then likely you are going to need a fully system.

So its a gonna be pricey!

Hey thanks for the info!!! It's definitely more than 120HPs.

my friend just had a dyno pull performed on his stock 500 mile 2010 z 1000
drum roll.
121 RWHP
71 LBS TQ
58 % humidity and 75 DEG temp.
i believe it is a dyno jet dyno and the readings were SAE [ i think].

Those are pretty close number to the ones on motorcycle.com. I wonder what his numbers would be with the optimal conditions? I'm guessing its a stock Z1000, right?

This has to be stock ratings.

Interesting...my 2008 with full Akrapovic pipe, PCIII, and airbox mod pulled 118whp/77lbs in 105 degree desert heat.

just looking at the 2010 engine it should make more HP. very radical intake port angle etc. i think kawa made sure this Z 1000 made lots of grunt. one of the knocks of the 03 06 z 1000 was that it lacked roll on punch. even de tuning the 07-09 z 1000 only helped a little. smaller valves, cam, throttle bodies and the servo in the exhaust.
the new zed for sure has a lot of roll on power.

I agree Notabiker. The new zed is quite a powerful little bugger.

sunrise kawasaki in searcy ar. is going to have a dyno this saturday. have 850 on my 2010 as of right now will probably put 100 on tonight. have obligations the rest of the week, but am shooting for 1000 miles by saturday. (60 miles to shop.) ran my modderd zrx1200 there in 07 ( same dyno and operator) had dale wlker stage 2 with k&n pds 130 mains what ever piolts they supplied 3 tuns on screws. micron pipe. made 107 hp. 76 ft lbs. posted dyno sheet on one of the zrx forums, can't find it on here. we'll see what the z does and i'll post it rick

Best review I've seen, came to 123.17 HP and 73.74 lb-ft of torque.

It's more important to look at the complete curves instead of peak figures to get a real idea for the power you're dealing with. The curves of the three generations of Zs are very different.

According to Sport rider Magazine...

"The end result is a new Z1000 pumping out a claimed 138 crankshaft horsepower at 9600 rpm (versus the previous 125 horsepower at 10,000 rpm) and 81.1 ft-lb of torque at 7800 rpm (against the old 72.7 ft-lb at 8200 rpm), while scaling in 22 pounds lighter at 481 pounds full of fuel ready to ride."

you know, i was looking at the dyno sheet and noticed something very odd. i've had three bikes dynoed and all three sheets showed hp and torque crossing at 5250.can't see that anywhere on this one. i'm color blind, not completely but have trouble telling colors apart. am imissing this or does anyone else see this. rick

If you are referring to the Akrapovic chart, it's because they are using the metric newton meter measurement rather than foot pounds for torque.

Here's a converter you can use if you want:

thanks for the head up. boy do i feel stupid. rick

No need to feel stupid friend, we're all just learning as we go along here!
