Engine Features

• Compact 988cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with gear-driven counterbalancer - features ventilation system between cylinders to equalize lower-cylinder pressure and reduce mechanical loss
• Electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output - includes Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS)
• Tapered, double-barrel throttle body system is simpler in design with less weight
• 32-bit ECM with 22-trigger pole rpm sensor, provides more precise control of ignition timing and injector operation for each cylinder
• Pulsed-air injection system (PAIR) helps reduce emissions
• Internal oil passageways feed hydraulic cam chain tensioner, eliminating external lines and reducing weight
• Cylinder head features a narrow 25 included valve angle, creating a compact combustion chamber, high compression ratio and a straight intake tract for high power output
• Ram-air intake ducts located at the point of highest dynamic pressure to maximize airbox pressure, cylinder charging efficiency and torque output
• Durable SCEM-plated cylinders house lightweight forged pistons with low-tension rings to reduce friction
• Suzuki Exhaust Tuning System (SET) regulates exhaust back pressure in the exhaust system to suit running conditions and maintain optimum engine torque
• Titanium 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system features large-volume muffler to improve flow and power without increasing noise level
• Large radiator and high-capacity oil cooler provide maximum cooling efficiency
• Six-speed transmission with high-capacity 19-plate clutch

Chassis Features

• Sleek bodywork includes aerodynamic front fender, front cowl with vertical headlight, inner rear fender, tail section and fuel tank - all designed for an aggressive look and minimal weight
• Compact instrument cluster features a step-motor-driven analog tach with rpm indicator and digital speedometer - also includes LCD odometer-tripmeters, coolant temp., clock and EFI diagnostics
• Bright LED-type taillight and compact turn signal design
• Lighweight aluminum frame with extruded main spars for optimum width and rigidity - includes adjustable swingarm pivot (kit parts required) - plus simpler, more durable sub-frame mounting system
• Braced aluminum swingarm features extruded arms internally reinforced for strength
• Fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork features Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coated stanchion tubes to reduce friction and improve response - includes cross-mounted steering damper
• Fully adjustable piggy-back shock absorber with an aluminum body and temperature compensating system for more consistent damping performance
• Radially-mounted four-piston front brake calipers reduce caliper flex for stronger brake performance and permit use of lightweight 300mm rotors
• Opposed-dual-piston rear brake caliper with 220mm rotor
• Lightweight cast aluminum wheels and radial tires
