Chassis/Suspension

• MotoGP-derived Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) (see Technology Section).
• 43 mm inverted aluminum-slider Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) cartridge front fork features spring preload and rebound and compression damping adjustability, and offers precise action and unparalleled rigidity (see Technology Section).
• New aluminum subframe is lightweight and easily removed for ease of maintenance.
• Front brake system features radial-mounted four-piston calipers and 320 mm floating discs, and rear brake system uses a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper for exceptional stopping power.
• Front discs with 72 holes of four different diameters for lighter weight and improved feel.
• Centrally mounted 4.7-gallon fuel tank is positioned low in the frame, increasing mass centralization and allowing a more compact design. This design positions the rider farther forward for optimum handling.
• Lightweight Hollow Fine Die-Cast twin-spar aluminum frame utilizes MotoGP technology (see Technology Section).
• Super-light aluminum-alloy hollow-spoke wheels feature race-spec 3.5 x 17-inch front and 6.0 x 17-inch rear dimensions.
• Exclusive, MotoGP-derived Unit Pro-Link Rear Suspension (see Technology Section).

Engine/Drivetrain

• High-capacity radiator incorporates twin cooling fans and allows a more compact cowl for reduced drag coefficient.
• Lightweight nutless connecting rods.
• MotoGP-derived twin ram-air system allows high volume of cooler air to the 9.7-liter airbox for linear power delivery and incredible engine performance.
• Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation system ensures high-rpm durability and allows 16,000-mile valve maintenance intervals.
• Larger titanium intake valves create a lighter valve train for higher rpm.
• Liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve 999 cc four-stroke inline four-cylinder engine features bore and stroke dimensions of 76 x 55.1 mm.
• New Ignition Interrupt Control system works with IACV and FI mapping to enhance driveability.
• Sixteen-valve cylinder head features 30.5 mm intake and 24 mm exhaust valves with a 12.3:1 compression ratio for efficient combustion and high horsepower.
• Intake valves feature double-spring design for optimum performance at high rpm.
• Cam-pulser location between the middle cylinders allows a narrower cylinder head and frame.
• Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) (see Technology Section).
• 46 mm throttle bodies feature Denso injectors with lightweight valving for faster reaction time and 12 holes per injector to optimize mixture atomization, combustion efficiency and power.
• New idle-air control valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.
• Unique slipper-clutch design uses a center-cam-assist mechanism for easier actuation. Unlike an ordinary slipper clutch where the pressure plate moves side to side, the Honda clutch moves both the center cam assist and the pressure plate to provide additional slipper effect.
• Durable #530 O-ring - sealed drive chain.
• Intake ports use new shot-peening technology that improves power and torque characteristics.
• New extremely compact exhaust system incorporates a catalyzer and control valve in mid-muffler design that reduces rear bodywork size and significantly improves mass centralization, reducing roll and yaw inertia.
• Smaller and lighter ECU provides two 3-D fuel-injection maps for each cylinder and two 3-D ignition maps for cylinder pairs, creating ideal fuel-mixture and spark-advance settings for superb rideability.
• Nine-plate clutch is compact and tough, featuring durable friction- plate material.
• Iridium-tip spark plugs improve fuel combustion and performance.
• Starter gears located on the right side to produce narrow engine and increased lean angle.
• Forged-aluminum pistons with molybdenum coating for reduced friction.
• Butterfly valves inside the ram-air ducts open and close depending on throttle opening and engine rpm for optimum performance.
• Auto-enriching system is integrated into programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) module, eliminating the need for a manual choke.
• Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioner.
