H2 Sx

The Kawasaki H2 SX SE is a motorcycle that embodies the perfect blend of sportiness and functionality, and the Z-Racing Screen by Puig is an accessory that enhances this balance. Designed specifically for this motorcycle, the Z-Racing Screen not only improves the aerodynamic coefficient but also significantly increases rider protection. This screen is crafted to provide your motorcycle with the sport character you have always desired, offering a sleek design that complements the aggressive aesthetics of the bike.

The SW-Motech PRO Roadpack motorcycle tail bag is a versatile and compact accessory designed to enhance the functionality of small and sporty motorcycles like the Kawasaki H2 SX SE. With an expandable volume ranging from 8 to 14 liters, this tail bag offers ample storage space for essentials such as keys, wallets, and other small items. The bag’s design includes stiffened sides and a molded EVA lid, ensuring it maintains its shape even during sporty rides. The PRO Roadpack is crafted from durable 1680 D Ballistic Nylon, originally developed for military use, providing high-quality workmanship and thoughtful features like reflective attachments for better visibility.

The Triboseat anti-slip pillion seat cover for the Kawasaki H2 SX SE is a well-crafted and practical accessory that enhances the riding experience for both the passenger and the rider. Designed with precision and attention to detail, this seat cover offers a unique solution to a common problem faced by motorcyclists: the sliding of passengers during rides.

This motorcycle accessory ensures that passengers remain securely seated even during sudden braking or acceleration. This feature not only enhances the comfort of the passenger but also reduces the strain on the rider’s arms by limiting weight transfer, thereby creating a more stable ride overall.

As the 2024 motorcycle season drew to a close, I found myself the proud owner of the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE, a machine that has quickly become my favorite ride to date. This motorcycle offers an exceptional seating position and top-notch suspension, making it a joy to ride. Despite the occasional critique from sport riders who find it a bit on the heavy side, I find it remarkably light, especially when transitioning from the BMW K 1600 GT and still owning a Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R. The H2 SX SE is incredibly agile, effortlessly leaning into curves and accommodating sporty riding, all while allowing for some luggage on board. For me, it epitomizes the ideal sport touring motorcycle.

Many Kawasaki H2 SX and H2 SX SE owners have reported issues with radiator damage, often attributed to stones being thrown up by the front wheel. The primary concern is Kawasaki’s decision not to include a radiator protector as standard. But how prevalent is this issue, and what extent of damage can it cause?

After just over a week with my new bike, I noticed two to three minor dents and one more significant damage to the radiator. Despite not hearing any stones hit, the damage was evident. This occurred while riding on relatively clean local roads around Munich, highlighting the vulnerability of the radiator even under seemingly benign conditions.

When it comes to high-performance motorcycles like the Kawasaki H2 SX and H2 SX SE, ensuring the safety and longevity of your bike is paramount. One of the most effective ways to protect your investment is by installing frame sliders. These essential accessories are designed to minimize damage to the motorcycle’s frame and engine in the event of a fall or collision.

In the European market, options for frame sliders are somewhat limited. Aside from the TBR frame sliders I discussed in my previous blog post and the mushroom-shaped sliders, the only other viable choice is the Kawasaki OEM sliders. Let’s take a closer look at these.

I have been familiar with the French company Top Block Racing (TBR) for several years. My first encounter with their products was when I acquired frame sliders for my BMW K1300R, a bike I rode from 2014 until the autumn of 2023. Recently, while searching for frame sliders for my new Kawasaki H2 SX SE, I discovered that TBR manufactures them for this model as well. Despite some uncertainty from a German dealer regarding compatibility with the 2023 model, I decided to place an order, knowing they fit models from 2018 to 2022. Unfortunately, the sliders did not fit my bike, possibly due to minor changes in the frame or thicker welds. Nevertheless, I felt compelled to write about these frame sliders because of their exceptional aesthetics and high quality.
