Key Features
- Suzuki's industry-leading DualSport model that combines the best on and off-road features in a lightweight package
Engine Features
- Smooth throttle response with a Mikuni™ BSR36 CV-type carburetor fed by 6-liter airbox. The left side cover has quick-release fasteners for easy access to the air filter
- Thermostatically-controlled cooling fan mounted to the left radiator helps maintain consistent operating temperature in traffic
- 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong low-rpm power
- Electric start with lightweight starter motor and a compact 6.5 amp maintenance-free battery
- Compact 4-valve cylinder head with 36mm intake valves, 29mm exhaust valves, narrow 28º included valve angle and shim-under-bucket valve adjustment system
- Automatic decompression system for quick/easy engine starts
- SCEM-plated cylinder (nickel-silicon-phosphorous) is lighter and more durable than an iron liner with excellent heat transfer properties
- Forged aluminum piston is 10% lighter than a cast piston and receives additional oil-cooling to the piston crown through a crankcase oil jet
