Electric starting system features a mechanical centrifugal decompression device in the exhaust camshaft for easy, no starting problems and battery size and weight.

Coolant not only allows higher state of harmony, but also reduces mechanical noise for a quieter engine.

In an attempt to maintain the classic air-cooled appearance of the engine cooling fins have been added as an obvious style.

The short stroke engine design reduces the engine "stature", while the 60 degree "V" makes the engine more compact mass so centralizing and lower center of gravity to read more easily manipulated.

Classic V-twin "pulse" and highlight the character of this engine engine without the annoying high-frequency vibration has been eliminated.

A piece cylinder heads feature four valves per cylinder to provide optimum breathing efficiency for maximum effect. Each head is equipped with one long reach spark plugs.

Stylish chrome cylinder head covers.

SOHC valve train features 36 mm intake and exhaust valves 32 mm with coil springs for a great unique special power and torque. Angle valves are set at 20 degrees. Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves. The roller rocker system allows a greater amount of valve lift without causing wear on the camshaft and excessive friction. The part of the rocker shoe has a needle bearing to further reduce wear and slip resistance. The camshafts are designed specifically to provide power to the ruling class.

Optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture in the center of the combustion chamber for more complete combustion and therefore power.

The water pump that is integrated with the oil pump and is located inside the engine cases to keep cleaner, more traditional air-cooled look to power. The engine uses a wet sump lubrication.

The radiator is mounted between the front frame down tubes to minimize their appearance, especially when the machine is next door. Even the rad hoses have been discreetly placed a cleaner look. An electric fan aids in cooling stop and go traffic.

Dual 40 mm Mikuni Bore-return type fuel system, throttle body with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed ​​Control). This is a "closed" system, which uses an oxygen sensor. Oxygen sensor "sniffers" used in the exhaust and ECU information is returned, which in turn adjusts the fuel / air mixture for the emission maximum clamping force. Oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of slip-on will not affect this system.

Bore is 40mm and each injector has 12 holes and a double jet fuel atomization and more complete combustion filling. There is one injector per cylinder. Benefits of fuel injection include improved fuel economy, operating automatic choke, emissions reduction and stable idle during startup.

2 in an exhaust system with a 3-way honeycomb catalyzier at the point of entry to the muffler. The catalyzier reduces harmful exhaust emissions, while the muffler produces a throaty V-twin growl. The rear muffler has a "diagonal cut" final.
