Engine:
- Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine delivers massive power and torque (145 hp @ 8000 rpm and 99 ft.-lbs. of torque @ 7000 rpm, respectively) for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide RPM range.
- This state-of-the-art mill has been constructed using much of the advanced technology found on the YZF-R1 powerplant, including an R1-derived one-piece cylinder and crankcase assembly, which provides tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and stiffer than two-piece designs.
- Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design.
- Compact slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution.
- Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding high-rpm durability.
- Patented electroplated ceramic composite cylinder bores ensure greater heat dissipation and thus reduced frictional power loss.
- High-compression four-valve cylinder heads are operated by compact, side-driven double-overhead camshafts, and for strong, dependable high-rpm performance the plated cylinders feature oversquare dimensions of 79 x 66.2mm.
- Advanced fuel injection (FI) system is ideal for long-distance super sport-touring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions, enhanced fuel efficiency and instant, choke-free starting.
- FI system features TPS, which monitors throttle position and, in conjunction with a battery of sensors (air intake temperature/pressure, atmospheric pressure, coolant temperature, crankshaft position and engine rpm), ensures precise injection intervals and timing for optimal performance.
- Low-vibration crankshaft features two gear-driven secondary counter balancers with built-in shock absorbers that 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.
- Special scissors-type primary driven gear helps prevent backlash while greatly reducing transmission noise.
- Light-action hydraulic multi-plate wet clutch provides smooth, effortless shifting, minimizing both rider fatigue and maintenance.
- Gear shift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting.
- Shaft final drive system is super-durable and virtually maintenance-free, and uses mechanical cam dampers in its drive pinion for quieter, smoother power delivery to the rear wheel.
- 4-into-1-into-2 stainless steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband and features a three-way catalytic converter and Air Induction System, making this one of the cleanest-running large-capacity motorcycle engines ever built.
- Wet-sump oil system uses an easy-access cartridge-type oil filter mounted on the engine's left side.
Chassis/Suspension:
- Hollow cast aluminum frame, featuring massive, widely spaced twin spars, is incredibly light and extremely rigid, the perfect combination for sharp, sportbike-like handling.
- Fully detachable aluminum subframe helps keep weight down while permitting easier rear shock access/maintenance.
- Lightweight, cast aluminum swingarm's unique design incorporates the shaft drive into its left side, ensuring superb rigidity with reduced unsprung weight that delivers incredible handling and suspension performance.
- Fully adjustable (preload, compression and rebound damping) 48mm Soqi front fork with 5.4" of travel provides quick, responsive steering with excellent rider feedback in a wide range of conditions.
- Adjustable (preload and rebound damping) 46mm link-type rear shock with 4.8" of travel features a handy, two-stage (hard/soft) preload adjustment lever that allows the rider to switch quickly between solo and two-up settings.
- Dual 320mm front disc brakes with YZF-R1-derived one-piece 4-piston calipers and 282mm rear disc brake with a slide-type dual-piston caliper provide outstanding stopping power with exceptional feel.
- Cast-aluminum 3-spoke wheels wear sporty-spec 120/70-ZR17 front and 180-55-ZR17 rear Metzeler radials perfectly suited to both spirited solo riding and long-range trekking.
- Adjustable, 5-position front brake lever.
Additional Features:
- Highly aerodynamic full fairing is highlighted by an electrically adjustable windscreen that can be easily raised for greater wind protection or lowered for a sportier profile via a handlebar-mounted switch.
- Equally sleek tail section helps reduce drag and features a sturdy rear luggage rack/passenger grabrail.
- Subframe-fitted quick-release luggage mounts provide easy use of the standard accessory hard sidecases,** which are conveniently matched to the ignition key.
- Long dual seat features two-part construction using different foam densities for the front and rear sections, ensuring plush comfort for both rider and passenger.
- 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.
- High-tech instrument panel delivers comprehensive display that includes an electronic analog speedometer and tachometer (both with a lightweight, R1-type step motor); LCD digital odometer, dual tripmeters, fuel and coolant temperature gauges, and clock; and lights for neutral, high beam, turn signals, low oil and engine warnings.
- Sleek, R1-type cat-eye dual 12V 60/55-watt multi-reflector headlight throws an extremely broad beam for superb visibility.
- Powerful dual-bulb taillight features integrated turn signals for a slick, one-piece look that's as aerodynamic as it is conspicuous.
- Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger seat.
**Accessory saddlebags are standard equipment.
