H2をベースにH2Rの排気系、ECU、ミラーの羽などモディファイしているようです。
イジリの参考になるかもしれない。

On The Record: Rickey Gadson

Those wings on the H2R? I can absolutely tell you they work. After 100 mph you can feel the difference. The H2 floats its front wheel, even if fourth gear. The front wheel is light. In fourth gear on the H2R, the front wheel was heavy. It felt firmly planted on the ground, which told me the wings worked. The bike was super steady at high speed.
H2は4速でフロントホイールが軽くなるが、H2R(羽根つき)はフロントホイールが重い。
ミラーのところの羽は、しっかり機能している。
For that test, I brought along my 2015 ZX-14R, set up the same exact way, with stock wheelbase and lowered, that’s it. Everything else was factory. Did the same thing to the H2. The ZX-14R ran a 9.16 at 149 mph. The H2, with H2R pipes and ECU tuning very similar to the H2R’s, went 9.16 at 160. That’s 11 mph better!
同じ9秒16だが、1/4マイル時点の終速は、H2の方が11マイル速い。
The H2 Hybrid has a 68-inch wheelbase, as opposed to 56.5 stock. The swingarm is 11 inches longer than stock. Right now, it also has a BST carbon rear wheel. We’re gonna put one on the front as well.
ホイールベースを1435mmのノーマルから、280mm伸ばした。BSTのカーボンホイールに交換。ウイリーしにくくなりいい感じ。
It makes 292 horsepower to the rear wheel on pump gas. KHI is very smart. They are never going to run anything on the edge. When we checked the air-fuel ratio, it was 11.3 to 11.4. That’s how rich they had it. They had to make sure it’s safe enough for anybody who gets their hands on it to not blow it up. We knew from racing my turbo bike that we can lean it out quite a bit more than that. So we took the air-fuel ratio to about 12.2 and picked up 30 horsepower. With the leaner mixture and improved airflow, we went from 269 horsepower to 292. If you equate that to crankshaft horsepower, that would be around 320 horsepower.
空燃比を、ノーマルの濃い目(11.3~11.4)から、若干濃いめ(12.2)に見直すことで、269馬力→292馬力と30馬力アップ。292馬力は後輪出力なので、補正クランク軸出力は320馬力くらいになるだろう。(レースガスに変更している可能性あり)
It has a hard rev limiter. The tach gets red at 14,000 rpm, but the redline area is from 14,000 to 16,000 rpm. But it hits the rev limiter right at 14,100. Turbochargers typically sign off at a certain rpm. A supercharger continues to make boost as long as you continue to rev the engine. I believe my motorcycle could go another 2 or 3 mph faster if I could rev it a little more.
レッドは、14,000~16,000 rpm表示なのに、14,100 rpmでレブリミッターが作動する。
People keep commenting about how heavy the H2 is. They’re appalled that it’s listed as 530 lb. I will say this: I never believed the bike was that heavy, so I pulled it onto a scale. In completely stock trim (no carbon, except where the mirrors and wings are), my bike weighed 475 lb. stock, with a gallon of gas. Then, at our December test with the extended swingarm and carbon rear wheel, the bike weighed only 460 lb. I weighed my ZX-14R school bike that same day, set up the same way and with a gallon of fuel. It weighed 530 lb. Sure, if you compare the H2 to a liter bike, it’s heavy. But it also has a steel frame, a supercharger, and what looks like the heaviest exhaust I’ve ever seen on a production bike.
530 lb = 240.4 kg
475 lb = 215.5 kg
H2は、走行状態+1ガロンのガソリン入りで530 poundsと言われているが、私は信じない。私のマシンは、ほぼストック状態同条件で475 poundsである。ZX-14Rのスクールバイク(ドラッグレース教習用)が、ちょうど530 poundsであった。
車重は、想像しているより重くない。
H2RのECUとマフラー交換で、H2も300馬力でるのかな。
濃いめの空燃比は、ターボ系なのでマージンとってそうですね。
燃料での冷却も考えているのでしょう。
濃いめならエンジン壊れません。
片持ちだと、パワーに耐えられないので交換だそうです。
8秒2 終速265キロ(166マイル)は、腕もあるが相当速いと思う。(スリックで無いし)
This one-of-a-kind Ninja H2™ hybrid was customized for ultimate drag-strip performance by 11-time Kawasaki Drag Racing champion Rickey Gadson, in conjunction with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Adams Performance. It was designed specifically for Rickey Gadson to meet certain drag racing specifications.
