arms reduce friction by 50 percent for increased fuel efficiency

and torque.

-Gear-driven crankshaft balancer shaft and 4-position rubber

engine mounts reduce vibration.

idle speed control valve to provide easy cold starts and

flawless fuel delivery in nearly any condition, from below sea

level to 15,000 feet.

assembly to protect the starter motor.

and a screen-type spark arrestor for great power with minimum

noise output.

centralization and handling; there’s a 4.8-liter water-resistant

storage compartment under there, too.

-11.8 inches of ground clearance and full-length composite

skidplate deliver maximum underbelly protection while

enhancing terrainability.
