Lightweight aluminum cylinder bore is electro-plated with Suzuki's own race proven SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) for improved heat transfer and tighter piston clearance.

Cylinder canted forward 48 degrees for lower center of gravity, reduced engine height and lower seat height, and is rubber mounted with two balancer shafts for smooth performance.

Newly designed twin-spark cylinder head and modified cam profiles to improve both power output and fuel economy.

Compact 4-valve cylinder head with large 36mm intake valves and straight intake ports for increased cylinder charging efficiency – includes lightweight magnesium valve cover

Semi-gear driven valve system minimizes cam sprocket size allowing a short/narrow cylinder head design and reduced overall engine height.

The rubber-mounted engine uses two balancer shafts to keep the powerful ride smooth.

Ultra-efficient air filter has both paper (for superior filtration) and foam (easily cleaned and re-used) elements for better durability and less maintenance.

Suzuki fuel injection system provides excellent throttle response, fuel efficiency and quick engine starts.

Independent double A-arm front suspension (6.7 inches of wheel travel) includes large diameter shock absorbers with 5-way spring preload adjustment

Fully independent, A-arm and I-beam rear suspension with long suspension travel (7.7 inches of wheel travel), includes large diameter shock absorbers with 5-way spring preload adjustment and large diameter rear sway-bar.

Large, 200mm diameter front disc brakes with single-piston calipers designed for strong, reliable braking performance.

Sealed, multi-plate rear brake system, with a clutch-type design provides high durability, offers reduced unsprung weight, and is low-maintenance.

Pressed-aluminum wheels for reduced unsprung weight

Comfortable T-shaped seat with tapered design for rider mobility, plus thick padding for support

Polyethylene skid plate provides front-to-rear under carriage protection with minimal resistance over rocks and rough terrain.

High output magneto generator system and 18-amp maintenance-free battery provides extra power.

Large 4.6 gallon fuel tank positioned below seat for a low center-of-gravity – includes vacuum-operated petcock, ratchet-style fuel cap and convenient bar-type fuel gauge.

Two dry storages keeps your personal belongings safe; one located on the right-side front fender and one located at the rear.

Front and rear cargo racks are covered in a wrinkle-finish black paint for increased durability.
