Features:
Engine Features
• Compact 4-stroke, four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with DOHC, 16-valves, Twin Swirl
• Combustion Chambers, plus gear-driven counterbalancer for smooth operation
• Electronic fuel injection system, fed by 46mm throttle bodies and ram air intake with large volume airbox
• Lightweight shim-under-bucket valve train with narrow 14 degree valve angle for high combustion chamber efficiency
• High efficiency liquid cooling system for optimum engine operating temperature, including compact air-cooled oil cooler and oil-jet piston cooling
• SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electro-chemical Material) plated cylinders minimize cylinder size and improve heat dissipation
• 6-speed transmission with high-capacity clutch featuring back-torque limiter system for smooth downshifts and scissors-type primary gear for reduced gear noise
• Large volume 4-into-2 exhaust system with stainless steel head pipes and lightweight aluminum silencers
• Digital direct-ignition system combines an ignition coil with each spark plug cap for reduced weight and stronger spark
Chassis Features
• Turn signal lens color are white for a modern appearance
• Aerodynamic fairing design with low drag coefficient - all fairing components have been designed for reduced drag and turbulence
• Full instrumentation with ultra-thin step-motor construction. Includes fuel gauge, clock, temperature gauge, LCD odometer and twin tripmeters with fuel mileage indicator
• Unique, vertically mounted dual headlight provides a bright, wide beam with a 60W projector-type high-beam and a 55W low-beam halogen bulb
• Rigid twin-spar aluminum frame minimizes weight while maintaining high torsional strength
• Large diameter (43mm) inverted front forks with titanium-nitride-coated inner fork tubes and fully adjustable compression & rebound damping and spring preload, plus steering damper
• Proven link-type rear suspension with remote reservoir shock absorber - rear suspension features fully adjustable rebound damping and compression damping and spring preload
• Bridge-type swingarm with large diameter swingarm pivot shaft provides high swingarm rigidity
• Powerful front disc brakes with large 320mm discs and gold-colored 6-piston calipers
• Rear disc brake with 240mm disc and 2-piston caliper
• Radial tires mounted on lightweight 3-spoke aluminum wheels - wide 190-size rear tire is mounted on 6" wide rim
• Hinged fuel tank simplifies maintenance and provides easy access to the airbox and air filter
Utility/Convenience Features
• Headlight switches off during startup to reduce load on battery
