The exhaustively tested 1832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is 1kg lighter than the previous design. Low, forward engine placement and solid engine mounting produce excellent road handling characteristics and impressive low-speed.
Parallel two-valve cylinder head design utilizes direct, shim-under-bucket valve actuation and requires no 1000km service; the first valve clearance inspection is at 50,000km. Silent-type camshaft chains with automatic adjusters provide reliable, maintenance-free operation. 6.9-litre air-box supplies a large volume of cool clean air to the engine. Two 40mm-diameter throttle bodies deliver air to six, specially designed Keihin(r) 50-psi high-pressure fuel injectors. Fuel is delivered through four nozzle tips in each injector, producing an atomized fuel mixture that is highly combustible, for optimum efficiency and power.
Electronic CPU provides two digital 3-D fuel injection maps for each cylinder and one digital 3-D ignition map for each cylinder, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb ride ability.
