Engine/Drivetrain

- The exhaustively tested 1832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine provides effortless power.

- Low, forward engine placement and solid engine-mounting produce excellent road handling characteristics and impressive low-speed maneuverability.

- High-pressure-formed, sintered iron Nickalloy(tm) crankshaft bearing caps provide quiet operation throughout the engine's operating temperature range.

- Parallel two-valve cylinder head design utilizes direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation and requires no 600-mile service; the first valve clearance inspection is at 32,000 miles.

- Silent-type camshaft chains with automatic adjusters provide reliable, maintenance-free operation.

- 6.9-liter airbox 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 programmed fuel injectors (PGM-FI). 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 control unit (ECU) 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 rideability. Unique knock-control sensors monitor ignition advance to improve performance throughout the entire rpm range.

- ECU-controlled closed-loop emission control system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.

- Rotary Air Control Valve(tm) (RACV) provides auto-choke function and maintains precise idle control under widely varying engine loads and operating temperatures.

- Compact water pump is mounted behind the engine and is driven directly by the crankshaft, contributing to quicker engine warm-up.

- Engine cooling system features a series-flow coolant flow pattern that offers cold-start rideability and provides rapid engine warm-up.

- Two side-mounted radiators enhance cooling efficiency and use low-air-pressure are
