2023 Kawasaki Z900 and Z900 SE launched in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: Motorcycle enthusiasts across Malaysia are in for a treat as the official subsidiary of Modenas, Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd, has introduced the all-new 2023 Kawasaki Z900 and Z900 SE in Malaysia. 

The standard Z900 is offered in two new colour schemes - Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray and Metallic Spark Black while the higher-spec SE model exclusively comes in Candy Lime Green shade only. Prices are as follows -

Model	Price (on the road, without insurance)
Z900 (Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray)	RM 44,900
Z900 (Metallic Spark Black)	RM 43,900
Z900 SE (Candy Lime Green)	RM 55,900

 In terms of features, both models gained modern electronic features such as a new TFT colour dash with Bluetooth connectivity, traction control, and power modes. 

The higher-spec Z900 special edition version also benefits from a new suspension setup, comprising a fully adjustable 41 mm Showa fork at the front and a shiny gold S46 Öhlins unit at the rear. The new suspension promises increased ride comfort and a superior sense of grip and handling, the automaker claims.

As for braking also, the SE sets itself apart from the standard version as it features new dual Brembo four-piston M4.32 callipers with a new Nissin master cylinder.

On the mechanical front, both Z900 and Z900 continue to feature the same 948-cc inline four-cylinder engine that kicks out a maximum power of 123.6 bhp and a peak torque of 98.6 Nm. The power is transferred to the wheels via a six-speed transmission.

“The Z900 is the first Kawasaki model with a bigger engine that is locally assembled by MODENAS at our plant in Gurun, Kedah. I am pleased to note that our plant is capable of assembling and testing the Kawasaki motorcycles on site by trained employees using strict standard operating procedures’ (SOPs) guidelines. Not only that, but the final run of the engine performance is also completed by the test bench machine in the plant which is the 1st as such in Southeast Asia. This has been one of the most important milestones for the Company so far.” – Roslan Roskan, Chief Executive Officer of MODENAS.

The new Kawasaki Z900 and Z900 SE are slated to hit the Kawasaki showrooms by the second week of June 2023.
