The Z1100 is built on the same aluminum frame as the Ninja 1100SX and is supported by fully-adjustable Showa suspension units. While the standard Z1100 features Showa forks, the higher-spec SE variant is equipped with a Showa fork and an Ohlins S46 monoshock that includes a remote preload adjuster.
The braking components on the standard Z1100 are almost identical to those found on the Ninja 1100SX, utilizing Kawasaki-branded Tokico radial calipers. However, the Z1100 is fitted with larger 310mm dual discs compared to the Ninja's 300mm configuration. The SE model upgrades to Brembo M4.32 calipers and steel-braided brake lines, offering a significant enhancement over the standard version's braking system.
