Bi-directional Quick Shift System
When activated, this system lets you shift up or down without operating the clutch lever while in motion. Features include clean upshifts with smooth acceleration and downshifts that are also quick and easy, thanks in part to automatic blipping and engine braking working together. The gear shift linkage system load rate is optimized to provide a solid, satisfying click with each shift that assures you the gearbox has responded immediately to your action.
Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS)
Designed to help prevent the rear wheel from slipping, this system reduces stress and fatigue while instilling greater confidence in controlling your ride. You can select from three active modes to control how quickly the system takes effect and how proactive it is in limiting wheel spin, or you can opt to run with it turned off. Note: Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when entering turns, or while braking. Nor can it prevent the front wheel from losing traction.
Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System
This cable-free system leverages the onboard ECM to finely control the relationship between throttle action and engine output characteristics. Individual settings are tuned to optimize output to match throttle grip action, particularly when first opening the throttle. This improves controllability and provides faithful response.
Low RPM Assist
By ensuring smoother and easier starts, this function helps you control the bike more easily in stop-and-go traffic. It uses TI-ISC (Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control) to help maintain engine idle speed as you release the clutch lever while launching from a standing start, or when riding at low speeds.
Two-Mode ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) contributes to more stable braking by helping prevent the wheels from locking up, even under hard braking. There are two mode settings. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively. Note: ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
Suzuki Easy Start System
One quick press of a button lets you start the engine. As a function used on every outing, Easy Start makes your riding experience all the more pleasurable and convenient.
