| Enhancements to front and rear suspension
bringfurther improvement in road
stability. | |
|
|
The use of low-friction materials for
sliding parts has improved the action of the front suspension. Also,
the damping characteristics of the pressure dampers have been
modified to provide linear damping from low speeds. The result is
smoother front suspension action during braking and when the
throttle is turned on or off. The damping characteristics of the
rear suspension have been modified to suit the characteristics of
the front suspension. The result is a better feel for the course
when entering corners, as well as an enhanced feeling of stability
at the bottom of the stroke. The damping power of the steering
damper has been modified to provide room for adjustment to suit the
riding styles of a wide range of users. This superior road stability
helps riders to take the initiative in fierce competition.

| Completely
new meter panels, etc. have been created with a superior
finish. | |

|
In consideration of the
visual field and eye movement of the rider, the design of
meter panels has been completely changed. The position of the
water-temperature gauge has been repositioned on the upper
portion of the panel to provide the rider with an expanded
visual field. The engine has been improved in its gauge
and the precision of the crank case in order to increase
overall stability. The cylinder has increased its stability,
quality and reliability. The ease of mounting and removal of
the front fenders and carburetor boxes has also been improved.
In addition, the size of the drive sprocket bolt for fastening
has been changed, and the ease for setting and maintenance
have also been enhanced. Furthermore, the color of both wheels
are now black, as with Works, in order to strengthen the
steadfast
character. | |
