• lower end “cap” of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the upper portion; the 2 pieces are “split” apart using a special process known as fracture splitting & then machined
• fracture splitting ensures true big end roundness & greater precision in con rod dimensions for excellent durability despite the high horsepower loads

• reduces engine vibration to a minimum for excellent rider comfort

• dual 3-way honeycomb catalyzers reduce harmful exhaust emissions

• part of the mid ship exhaust system
• utilizes butterfly valve that prevents the “blow back” phenomenon caused by “valve overlap”
• EXUP system eliminates “flat spots” in the power band & reduces emissions too

• curved rad provides more cooling surface area than a conventional flat rad
• dual “ring-type” fans provides increased airflow (& cooling) versus a standard cooling fan
• external water pump (located outside of crankcases) reduces engine width & simplifies maintenance

• located below main rad
• maintains consistent lubricant temperatures for extended engine life

• easy access drain plug & spin-on type oil filter for fast, easy oil changes

• produces a strong spark for fast starts
• provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms

• ignition coils are integrated into the plug caps, significantly reducing weight & complexity

• YCC-T electronically controls throttle valves for outstanding throttle response & controllability
• system features Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and D.C. motor driven throttle valves
• YCC-T system provides precise control of intake air volume for a smoother torque curve
• ECU that controls YCC-T is capable of responding to changes at a speed of 1000th of a second

• enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding preferences or riding conditions
• Mode 1 provides sharpest throttle response
• Mode 2 offers good all-round character
• Mode 3 offers the smoothest, most progressive throttle response

• works in conjunction with the YCC-T system (utilizes same front & rear wheel sensors as ABS system)
• system senses when the rear wheel begins to spin & modifies the YCC-T function, ignition timing & fuel injection duration to reduce power & eliminate wheel spin
• 3 modes: mode 1 for sporty riding — minimal intervention; mode 2 for normal street riding — medium intervention & mode 3 for slippery or wet conditions — maximum intervention
• system is automatically engaged when ignition is on … can be turned off if desired
• status indicator / warning light in meter assembly

• works in conjunction with the YCC-T system
• “settable range” is from 50 to 160 km/hr & transmission must be in 4th gear or higher
• cruise control can be cancelled by activating front or rear brakes, pulling in the clutch, completely closing the throttle grip or using the activation button
• control buttons are located on the L.H.S. handlebar switch gear

• designed to offer an optimized strength — rigidity balance (balance of strength, rigidity & tuned flex) to maximize handling & suspension performance

• overall shock length can be adjusted by 5 mm for ride height adjustability
• piggyback design helps to keep the shock oil cool for more consistent damping

• great braking performance with excellent control & lever feedback.
• radial mount design helps to reduce caliper distortion for improved braking performance
• 5-position adjustable front brake lever

• ABS offers excellent control under hard braking or braking on wet or slippery surfaces
• when ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up (via active type wheel sensors) it regulates the hydraulic brake pressure to the point just before the wheel(s) lock-up

• lightweight contributes to excellent handling & suspension (reduced unsprung weight)
