• Compact engine design features a 35-degree cylinder angle for ground clearance and lower seat height for quick steering and maneuverability.
• Gear-driven crankshaft balancer shaft and rubber-damper engine mounts reduce vibration.
• Ceramic-composite cylinder liners provide outstanding durability and heat dissipation; forged piston is light and strong and rides a carburized, chrome-moly connecting rod.
• Two-lobe overhead cam and a pair of needle-roller rocker arms reduce friction by 50 percent for increased fuel efficiency and torque.
• Mikuni® fuel injection with 44 mm bore and throttle position sensor means easy cold starts and flawless fuel delivery in nearly any condition.
• Push-button electric start with seven-disc torque-limiting damper assembly to protect the starter motor.
• Straight driveshaft layout eliminates U-joints for reduced friction, noise, vibration, and maintenance.
• Stainless steel exhaust system features aluminum heat shields and a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum noise output.
• High-capacity aluminum radiator with fan-assist delivers maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.
• Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces engine maintenance and helps extend engine life.
• Five-position shift lever with H, L, N, R and P gates provides positive Ultramatic transmission operation.
• Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff. Lock mode.
