 | Increased Performance:
Due to: increased displacement; reshaped combustion chamber; reworked exhaust and intake
ports and valves which optimize emissions efficiency and power output; single-fire
ignition system; cool-air intake from new, bigger air cleaner with front intake opening. |
| Reliability Improvements:
Better engine thermal management due to 50% more fin area and piston cooling jets;
stronger
crankcase; increased diameter straight crank pin with more bearing area. |
| Mechanically Quieter:
Due to chain drive twin cams and improved fitments. Even the cam cover and rocker box
covers were designed with mechanical noise reduction in mind. |
| New Oil Circulation System:
An internal, high-efficiency oil pump improves oil flow; oil is filtered before it goes to
the engine, ensuring cleaner oil to critical areas; cooling jets spray oil under the
pistons reducing piston temperatures with RPM and load to ensure optimum combustion and
power output. |
| Stiffer Engine/Transmission Joint:
Redesigned engine and transmission connection is more rigid and stronger for improved
power train and chassis stiffness. |
