Key Features
Aerodynamic fairing design with low drag coefficient. All fairing components have been designed for reduced drag and turbulence.
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.
Full instrumentation with ultra-thin step-motor construction. Includes fuel gauge, clock, temperature gauge, LCD odometer and twin tripmeters with fuel consumption gauge.
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 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 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.
