The 2011 ZX-10R features Kawasaki’s sport traction control, the S-KTRC. This system comes straight from the race track (MotoGP), and the manufacturer released a video now, which explains the difference between a normal traction control and the S-KTRC. The ZX-10R’s system constantly monitors the separate speeds of the front and rear wheels, engine RPM, throttle position, acceleration and other factors. When the S-KTRC recognizes a small amount of slip, reacts in five milliseconds, altering engine ignition.

The S-KTRC explaining

The system allows power wheelies while the machine continues to accelerate, but can cut slow wheelies that could cause crash. The S-KTRC has three modes, which allows the rider to alter power delivery. The system is standard on the 2011 ZX-10R which costs $13,800, but the anti-lock brake system costs you $1,000 extra.
