Features |
Suzuki Protection Plan
Suzuki Protection Plan is a comprehensive plan that covers all major components, parts and electrical/computer systems along with all seals and gaskets and shocks on your Suzuki Motorcycle or ATV. Only normal wear or maintenance items are not covered. We’ve built Suzuki Protection Plan around coverage, not exclusions. |
A Compact Design
A compact design, 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong low-rpm power. Its compact, four-valve cylinder head features large 36mm intake valves and 29mm exhaust valves to help produce broad, tractable power and torque that’s ready for any terrain.
DC-CDI system
Digitally-mapped DC-CDI system monitors throttle position/engine rpm and adjusts ignition timing to maintain efficient combustion.
Aluminum Piston
Forged aluminum piston is 10 percent lighter than a cast piston and receives additional oil-cooling through a crankcase oil jet. |
PAIR System
The use of a PAIR (air supply) system to the exhaust helps the motorcycle achieve emissions compliance without affecting performance.
TRANSMISSION
Compact, five-speed transmission utilizes a cable-operated clutch with a separate magnesium outer cover for simplified clutch maintenance.
STOPPING POWER
Sure stopping power is supplied by a 250mm front disc with a dual-piston caliper and a 220mm rear disc brake with a single-piston caliper |
CARTRIDGE-STYLE FORKS
Long travel (11.3-inch), 49mm cartridge-style fork has protective rubber boots plus adjustable compression/rebound damping and adjustable spring preload for smooth performance on all types of on- and off-road terrain.
REAR SHOCK ABSORBER
Rear shock absorber features 11.6 inches of travel, compression damping/preload adjustments, and connects to a lightweight aluminum swingarm through a progressive linkage system |
WHEELS
Spoke-style 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels with new blacked-out aluminum rims are fitted with Dunlop D208 dual-purpose tires. The wheels are sized perfectly to accept popular dual sport tires and are set up to accept rim-locks when a more aggressive tread pattern is used.
NARROW FRAME
A narrow frame combines thin chrome-moly steel tubes for exceptional torsional rigidity with minimal weight. The backbone tube, front down tube, and steering head gussets form the dry-sump engine oil tank. A bolt-on aluminum sub-frame helps reduce weight and simplify maintenance.
Compact Digital Instrument
Digital instrument includes speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeters with addition/subtraction fuctions, clock and stopwatch |
LIGHTING
On-road legal lighting includes bright 60/55-watt H4 halogen headlight, compact tail/stoplight, lightweight, rubber-mounted turn signals, and horn
ADDITONAL FEATURES
A pouch on the rear fender carries the tool kit, owner’s manual, or other cargo. |
