Engine Type:
Liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 90-degree V-twin
Displacement:
996 cc (60.8 cubic inches)
Bore X Stroke:
98.0 mm x 66.0 mm
Valve Train:
DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder
Compression Ratio:
11.2:1 (typical for this engine)
Horsepower:
Approximately 114 HP @ 9000 RPM (peak)
Torque:
Approximately 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) @ 6500 RPM (peak)
Injection System:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) - likely Suzuki TL1000R derived
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline
Oil Capacity:
Approximately 3.8 Liters (with filter change)
Oil Type Specification:
Refer to manual for specific API SG or higher, SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50 depending on ambient temperature.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 6,000 km (or annually), but refer to manual for exact mileage and time-based intervals.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Around 12,000 km to 24,000 km, depending on plug type and condition.
Chain Maintenance:
Lubrication and adjustment every 500-1000 km, depending on riding conditions.
Valve Clearance Check:
Typically around 12,000 km or 24,000 km. Critical for V-twin engine health.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 recommended. Refer to manual for exact specification and fluid type.
Coolant:
Mixture of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and distilled water (50/50). Refer to manual for specific type and capacity.
Fork Oil:
Specific viscosity (e.g., Showa SS-8 or equivalent) and quantity per fork leg detailed in manual.
Typical Wear Items:
Clutch plates, brake pads, chain and sprockets, fork seals, wheel bearings.
Engine Specific Concerns:
While the Suzuki engine is robust, potential issues can include stator failure (regulator/rectifier overheating), or issues related to aging fuel injectors if not maintained.
Electrical Gremlins:
As with many bikes of this era, corrosion on electrical connectors can lead to intermittent faults; thorough inspection and cleaning are vital.
