2008 650 ABS

    Key Features
  • Available with Anti-Lock Braking System for optimum braking performance.
    Engine Features
  • SV650-based 645cc 90 degree V-twin, DOHC 8-valve, liquid-cooled engine with dual-spark plug heads for improved combustion and reduced emissions
  • Electronic fuel injection features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response
  • Auto Fast Idling System (AFIS), automatically sets throttle valve opening during cold engine starts by monitoring coolant temperature
  • Digital ignition system provides optimum ignition timing with separate maps for each cylinder
  • Lightweight shim-under-bucket valve system operates 31mm intake and 25.5mm exhaust valves, plus valve timing with emphasis on low-rpm power
  • SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electro-chemical Material) plated cylinders minimize cylinder size and improve heat dissipation
  • Smooth shifting 6-speed transmission with cable operated clutch - final drive ratio lowered from SV650 for improved low rpm performance
  • High-efficiency liquid cooling system for optimum engine operating temperature - includes compact oil cooler
  • Plastic outer clutch cover and engine sprocket cover for reduced weight and noise
  • High-mounted stainless steel exhaust system with aluminum muffler tuned to enhance engine torque and low-to-midrange performance
  • PAIR - air injection system reduces CO and HC emissions - California model equipped with catalyst in exhaust to further reduce emissions
