  • Stunning new sport machine with proven Suzuki V-twin performance and slim chassis design.

Engine Features

  • 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).
  • New 32-bit ECM with 22-trigger pole rpm sensor, provides more precise control of ignition timing and injector operation for each cylinder.
  • Large, 52mm throttle bodies are 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 11.3:1 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 new 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 is tuned to enhance the engine's power characteristics torque output.
