2009 Kawasaki ER-6n Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2009 Kawasaki ER-6n naked motorcycle, Kawasaki features a 649 cc (39.6 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 65.8 Nm (48.5 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 83.0 x 60.0 mm (3.3 x 2.4 inches) with a 11.3:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the ER-6n measures 200.5 kg (442 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15.51-liter (4.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
