Kawasaki Ninja 1000 / Z1000SX Mk3 Service Manual (2017-2018)

Kawasaki introduced the updated Ninja 1000 for the 2017 model year, calling it the Z1000SX in Europe. Kawasaki positioned the model as a sport-tourer combining supersport-style performance and styling with touring-oriented practicality.

The 2017 update retained the 1,043 cm³ liquid-cooled inline-four, with Kawasaki emphasizing strong mid-range acceleration and revised ECU programming for smoother engine response. The factory service manual lists 104.5 kW (142 PS) and 111 Nm in the principal full-power specification.

The redesign also brought LED headlights, revised fairing and windscreen components, increased seat support and Kawasaki's KCMF engine and chassis management technology. The service manual itself shows the associated IMU, wheel-speed sensors, ABS hydraulic unit, ECU and DFI electronics in its diagnostic and wiring sections.

This attached publication covers the 2017 ZX1000WH and 2018 ZX1000WJ specifically. Kawasaki continued the same generation into 2019 as the ZX1000WK, but the factory manual was subsequently revised. Kawasaki's current 2019 Owner Center lists 99924-1519-04, rather than the -02 publication attached here.
