Chassis Features

• A lightweight, compact, rigid semi-double cradle frame provides agile handling on- and off-road.
• Innovative, height-adjustable* front fork provides smooth and progressive action. Large diameter, thin-walled tubes reduce unsprung weight, while maintaining high rigidity.
• A link-type rear suspension with piggyback style, aluminum-body shock absorber provides stable performance. The height adjustable* shock features adjustable spring preload and compression damping to personalize the suspension for rider, load, and terrain.
• Front and rear suspensions provide generous 260mm (10.2-inch) wheel travel for superb performance over rough terrain.
• Lightweight 290mm (11.4-inch) front floating disc brake with two-piston caliper and 240mm (9.4-inch) rear disc brake with two-piston caliper provide reliable stopping power.
• Aluminum rims with stainless steel spokes are standard and built for durability and strength.
• The wheels are fitted with 90/90-21 front and 120/90-17 dual-sport rear tires that offer excellent on- and off-road traction.
• Hollow-type wheel axles and an aluminum, beam-style swingarm reduce unsprung weight.
• A long, comfortable seat, aluminum footpegs, and grab handles allow you to carry a passenger with ease.

Electrical Features

• The engine is tuned with an emphasis on performance in the low- to mid-rpm range, while a gear-driven balancer shaft minimizes vibration for a comfortable ride.
• Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)-coated aluminum cylinder is used for durability, light weight, and excellent heat dissipation.
• Digitally-mapped DC-CDI ignition system provides accurate spark timing for efficient combustion.
• A convenient electric starter (supplemented with a zero-maintenance automatic decompression system) provides easy, quick starting.
• Large Mikuni 40mm carburetor provides a smooth intake flow and quick throttle response.
• The stainless steel exhaust system is light and corrosion resistant and is tuned specifically for strong low- and mid-range power.
• Easy-pull, rack-and-pinion activated clutch provides precise operation and feel.
• A smooth-shifting five-speed transmission is complemented by a sealed O-ring drive chain.
