What is the emission standard of Kawasaki Z900?
2 Answers
Kawasaki Z900 complies with the China IV emission standard. China IV Standard: The China IV emission standard is the fourth stage national standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions. Main automotive pollutants include HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), and PM (particulate matter). Through technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, this standard controls and reduces vehicle emissions below specified limits. The China IV standard requires approximately 50% lower emissions for various pollutants compared to China III. Specifications: The most significant change in Kawasaki's new Z900 is the front headlight adopting a family-style design similar to the ZH2. The powertrain still utilizes the previous 948cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine, with this 948cc inline-four unit limited to 86.3kW (international version produces 92.2kW).
The Kawasaki Z900 typically complies with China's National IV emission standards, especially for new models released after 2017. As an environmentally conscious rider, I pay special attention to a vehicle's green performance. The National IV standard indicates optimized engine exhaust treatment, reducing pollutant emissions from tailpipes. When purchasing a new bike, it's best to check the environmental label on the vehicle certification or consult official dealers to confirm the standard year. I personally own a Z900, and its emission control performs well during high-speed riding. However, remember to perform regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter servicing to maintain its environmental performance. Avoid prolonged idling in urban traffic congestion to minimize unnecessary pollution. Overall, choosing a National IV compliant bike isn't just a regulatory requirement—it's also more eco-friendly.
