    FEATURES INFO FEATURES AIR INTAKE SYSTEM System diagram This system is designed to improve the power while riding a motorcycle at a high speed by increasing the air intake efficiency by means of pressurizing the air filter case 2 where the air is taken in via the air duct 1 from the air intake port located under the headlight.
  • Page 13: Ignition System

    FEATURES INFO Flow control operation 1) When valve is closed The lip 1 seals the coolant. 2) When valve is set as low-lift The 2nd lip 2 seals the coolant. To reduce the water temperature change, the coolant starts flowing through the notch depending on its area at a section.
