New black-painted
frame, swingarm, and wheels for more sport appearance
Increased engine
performance with higher 11.6:1 compression ratio,
20% less crank inertia, larger 54mm throttle
bodies, shorter airbox inlet tube, revised cam
timing and two air pressure sensors per cylinder
for more precise fuel injection volume control
California model
equipped with catalyst in exhaust to reduce
emissions
Headlight switches
off during startup to reduce load on battery
Liquid-cooled,
996cc 90 degree V-twin, DOHC 8-valve engine
- tuned for exceptional low-to-mid rpm throttle
response and torque
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)
32-bit ECM with
22-trigger pole rpm sensor, provides more precise
control of ignition timing and injector operation
for each cylinder
Large, 54mm throttle
bodies fed by a 9.0 liter airbox with a flat-panel
air filter for easy maintenance
Pulsed-air injection
system (PAIR) helps reduce emissions
Semi-gear driven
valve system simplifies maintenance and minimizes
cam sprocket size and engine height for optimum
engine placement
Lightweight shim-under-bucket
valve system operates 36 mm intake and 33mm
exhaust valves set at a narrow 29 degree included
valve angle - produces a compact combustion
chamber and 11.6:1 compression ratio
SCEM (Suzuki Composite
Electro-chemical Material) plated cylinders
minimize cylinder size and improve heat dissipation
Six-speed transmission
features a wide diameter, hydraulically-operated
clutch with back-torque limiter system - clutch
cover includes a large-volume crankcase breather
system
High efficiency
liquid-cooling system for optimum engine operation
temperature - includes compact oil cooler
Lightweight
magnesium valve covers, ignition cover, and
sound deadening plastic outer clutch cover
Attractive stainless
steel exhaust system with aluminum mufflers
tuned to enhance the engine's power characteristics
and torque output
Sleek half-fairing
features dual 60/55W headlights with running
lights and folding mirrors
Compact instrument
cluster includes analog tach, LCD speedometer,
odometer/tripmeters, and temperature gauge,
plus LCD clock and low fuel warning light
Steeply-angled
tail section houses unique vertically-styled,
high visibility LED taillight and compact rear
fender
Narrow, lightweight
aluminum truss-style frame constructed with
high-vacuum die-cast process for more consistent
strength and fewer individual welded sections
Low seat height
and subframe position provide a comfortable
seating position for both rider and passenger
Cast aluminum handlebars
connect to a fully adjustable 46 mm, cartridge-style
front fork with 4.72 inches of wheel travel
for sport performance and a comfortable ride
Aluminum swingarm
and link-type rear suspension features a fully
adjustable piggyback style shock absorber with
5.12 inches of wheel travel
Dual front disc
brakes with large 310mm rotors and four-piston
calipers, plus single-disc rear brake with 220mm
rotor and dual-piston rear caliper
Lightweight cast
aluminum wheels - F: 3.50 x 17 with 120/17 radial
tire, R: 5.5 x 17 with 180/55 rear tire
Large under-seat
storage area, passenger grab-bar and tie-down
hooks
4.5 gallon fuel
tank with low-fuel warning light
