Features & Benefits

Engine

Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine delivers power and torque for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide rpm range.

Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design.

Curved radiator with custom ducting and twin-ring cooling fans keep engine and cockpit cool.

Slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for balanced weight distribution and great handling.

Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding high- rpm durability.

Advanced fuel injection system is ideal for long-distance supersport- touring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions.

Gearshift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting.

Shaft final drive system is super-durable and virtually maintenance-free.

Low-vibration crankshaft with two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers help deliver a glass-smooth ride with reduced rider/passenger fatigue.

Constant-mesh 5-speed transmission utilizes wide ratios to deliver relaxed long-distance touring performance combined with seamless power and acceleration.

Four-into-one-into-two stainless-steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband.

Wet-sump oil system uses an easy-access cartridge-type oil filter mounted on the engine’s left side.

Chassis/Suspension

Sharp-looking bodywork and air-management system keep the bike and rider cooler; a central vent beneath the instrument panel cools the rider and reduces negative pressure, and fairing side panels with 1.2-inch adjustability let the rider direct airflow.

Adjustable ergonomics: the seat can be adjusted by nearly an inch, and handlebar pullback angle is three-position adjustable over a half-inch range.

Long swingarm provides even better ride and handling characteristics, and rear spring preload adjustment is a snap.

Standard equipment Unified Braking System w/ABS: The front brake lever activates six of the eight front braking pistons; the rear brake pedal activates two rear pistons and the other two front pistons—for balanced anti-lock braking in all conditions.

Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity, 6.6-gallon fuel tank offers excellent comfort and range and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tankbags.

Tall overall secondary gearing reduces engine rpm for more comfortable long-distance cruising.

Rear frame with integrated grab handle makes lifting the bike onto the centerstand a snap.

An additional catalyst and a heated oxygen sensor are located in the exhaust for increased control range and low emissions.
