Around 50 hp (37 kW) at 6,500 rpm (This is a general figure; actual figures vary by model year and specific tuning).
Torque:
Around 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm (General figure; varies by model year).
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for most modern iterations. Earlier models might have used carburetors.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline, 91 octane or higher recommended.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) or annually, whichever comes first. The manual will confirm specific intervals.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Approximately every 20,000 km (12,000 miles). The manual will specify the exact type and gap.
Engine Oil:
