-
Compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
- utilizes a powerful 32-bit processor for fast control of the injection & ignition processes
- compact design reduces weight.
-
Air box design features dual intakes.
- reduces intake noise
- viscous paper type air filter is utilized
-
Compact, 6-speed transmission.
- Tri-axis design "stacks" input/output shafts centralizing mass
- overall engine size is shorter front to back allowing the engineers the freedom to place the engine in the frame for optimum front to rear weight balance
- transmission ratios are designed to suit the character (torque & power) of the engine
- specially chosen gear ratios means fewer gear changes
- 6th gear is an over drive gear reducing engine rpms at highway speeds for a comfortable ride
-
Compact, clutch design with light clutch lever pull. * Stylish, compact, low mounted, 2 into 1 exhaust system.
- triple expansion muffler design with 3-way honeycomb catalyzer reduces exhaust emissions
- low mounted design centralizes mass for excellent handling & a light weight feeling
-
Lightweight, vertical flow flat radiator with ring type cooling fan.
- ring type cooling fan pulls more air than a normal non-ring type fan
- stylish aluminum rad covers & protective mess front grill are standard
-
Liquid-cooled oil cooler maintains stable lubricant temperatures for extended engine life.
-
Convenient spin-on type oil filter & easy access drain plug for fast, easy oil changes.
-
Convenient oil level sight glass.
-
Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).
- produces a strong spark for fast starts
- provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
-
High performance direct ignition coils (ignition coil is built into the spark plug caps).
- reduces weight & complexity
-
AC Magneto produces 410 watts of power @ 5,000rpm. * Air Injection System (AIS... not ram air) injects fresh air into exhaust ports to fully burn any unburnt fuel, further reducing exhaust emissions.
