Features

• 645cm3 fuel-injected DOHC 90-degree V-Twin engine based on the SV650 power plant with proven long-term reliability, broad power and quiet rumble.

• Race-proven Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Materials (SCEM) cylinder reduces friction and improves heat transfer, durability and ring seal.
• Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) downdraft digital fuel injection enhances throttle response and acceleration and helps reduce emissions.
• 10-hole, extra-fine-atomization fuel injectors improve combustion efficiency.
• Automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) system integrated into each throttle body improves cold starting and reduce emissions
