Engine Features
Lightweight 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong, usable low-rpm power
Compact 4-valve cylinder head with 36mm intake valves, 29mm exhaust valves, narrow 28ยบ included valve angle and shim-under-bucket valve adjustment system
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
Compact 5-speed transmission utilizes a cable-operated clutch with separate outer cover for simplified clutch maintenance
Additional weight savings with magnesium valve cover, clutch cover, and magneto cover
Smooth throttle response with a MikuniT BSR36 CV-type carburetor fed by 6-liter airbox. The left side cover has quick-release fasteners for easy access to the air filter
Electric start with lightweight starter motor and a compact 6.5 amp maintenance-free battery
Automatic decompression system for quick/easy engine starts
Thermostatically-controlled cooling fan mounted to the left radiator helps maintain consistent operating temperature in traffic

Narrow profile with smooth transitions between the tank, seat and bodywork
Chrome-moly steel frame is torsionally strong with minimal weight. The backbone tube, front down tube, and steering head gussets form the dry-sump engine oil tank
