The 270-degree crankshaft configuration provides a power delivery and distinctive exhaust rumble like the 90-degree V-twin engine used in other Suzuki models.
Suzuki Cross Balancer technology, patented by Suzuki, and used for the first time on a production motorcycle, helps create a compact, lightweight design that delivers smooth operation.
The unique cooling system inlet control thermostat valve helps maintain consistent engine temperature and smooths the idle speed during warm-up. This helps stabilize combustion and helps to reduce exhaust emissions.
