Engine/Drivetrain

  • Powerful, fuel-injected 1832cc six-cylinder engine produces smooth, effortless power.
  • Parallel two-valve cylinder-head design utilizes direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation that allows the first valve clearance inspection service to be at 32,000 miles.
  • Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI).
  • Two 40mm-diameter throttle bodies deliver air to six specially designed Keihin 50-psi high-pressure programmed fuel injectors. Fuel is delivered through four nozzle holes in each injector, producing an atomized fuel mixture that is highly combustible for optimum efficiency and power.
  • The ECU provides two digital 3-D fuel-injection maps for each cylinder, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb rideability. Unique knock-control sensors monitor ignition advance to improve performance throughout the entire rpm range.
  • ECU closed-loop emissions system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
  • Two side-mounted radiators enhance cooling efficiency and use low-air-pressure areas created by side cowls to draw cooling air through the radiators and beyond the rider at highway speeds.
  • Efficient stainless-steel 6-into-2 exhaust system produces a pleasing, aggressive sound.
  • Powerful 1300-watt alternator uses a fluid damper system to minimize alternator noise.
  • Precise-shifting five-speed transmission includes Overdrive Fifth.

Chassis/Suspension

  • Twin-Spar Aluminum Frame.
  • Pro Arm® Rear Suspension.
  • Dual full-floating 296mm front discs with Combined Braking System (CBS) three-piston calipers and a single ventilated 316mm rear disc with one CBS three-piston caliper provide excellent braking power.

  • Model equipped with ABS features an electric-motor-driven modulator that provides rapid and precise braking-pressure adjustments, resulting in smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated ECU, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function and automatic protection against system failure.
  • Massive 45mm front fork houses a cartridge damper in the right leg with 5.5 inches of travel for a smooth yet superb ride in all road conditions.
  • Anti-dive system minimizes front fork dive when braking. The system utilizes brake-fluid pressure generated in the secondary CBS master cylinder mounted on the left fork leg and is activated by input from either the front-brake lever or the rear brake pedal.
  • Pro-Link® Rear Suspension.
  • Computer-controlled adjustable hydraulic rear suspension preload is easily set by the rider with pushbutton controls and features a two-position memory.
