[NinjaH2Admin]

Today, Kawasaki released the second in its series of teaser videos for the much anticipated Ninja H2. Not much is revealed visually in the teaser video, but the audible notes tell a completely different story. The video starts off with a run through the gears and in it we hear the clear sound of the centrifugal supercharger’s wastegate as it regulates intake pressure. Also notable is the relatively low-redline compared to a ZX-10R or any other “superbike” based motors. By the sound of this teaser, and the promo engine shot from yesterday, we’re fairly certain this is a Z1000/Ninja1000 engine with a centrifugal supercharger. Check out the video below and tell us what you think below.

Lower redline is good to know, which makes me curious to see what a dyno chart for one of these is going to be like.

Be interesting to see how a supercharger feeds a four cylinder engine that would ordinarily have four throttle bodies.
A one to four manifold with a single large throttle body?

Probably a DI setup with different cam phasing.
