The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX is a 1,043cc, six-speed sport-touring motorcycle. Kawasaki’s U.S. specification sheet lists electronic cruise control, traction control, cornering management, ABS, power modes and an up/down quick shifter. Below are the published U.S. specifications, OEM tire details, manual references, touring accessories and the steps to check a particular bike for recalls.
What the 2023 Ninja 1000SX includes
Kawasaki describes the engine as a liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve inline-four with 1,043cc displacement. It is paired with a six-speed return-shift transmission and sealed chain final drive. The features below are from Kawasaki’s U.S. model specification sheet; standard equipment and specifications can vary by market.
- Electronic aids: electronic cruise control, Kawasaki traction control (KTRC), Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS), power modes and Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF).
- Quick shifter: Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) supports upshifts and downshifts.
- Chassis awareness: Kawasaki identifies an inertial measurement unit (IMU) as providing chassis-orientation information to the electronic systems.
These are manufacturer-listed features, not independent assessments of how the motorcycle performs on the road. Kawasaki’s specification sheet says: “Always wear a helmet, eye protection and proper apparel.” It also says: “Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.” Kawasaki’s 2023 U.S. Ninja 1000SX specifications provide the model details.

Kawasaki’s recall page identifies September 18, 2026, as its recall-information update date. NHTSA says its VIN lookup returns vehicle-specific recall information; its year, make and model search gives broader results and may not yet include information supplied by manufacturers. Neither a general search nor the model specifications certify a particular motorcycle as clear. Follow the lookup instructions and contact a dealer if the result or repair status is unclear.
