Features

 

Key

  • Suzuki’s industry-leading DualSport model that combines the best on and off-road features in a lightweight package
  • Engine

  • 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 28-degree 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 percent lighter than a cast piston and receives additional oil-cooling to the piston crown through a crankcase oil jet
