A Utilization of an Electronically Controlled
CVT*
This is the first ever utilization of an
electronically controlled
CVT in a motorcycle. It allows reduced
engine rpm and operating
noise, while improving on fuel economy
under normal driving
conditions.

* CVT: Continuously Variable Transmission
B Utilization of Helical Gears and Sound
Absorbent Cover
A helical gear system utilized in the
transmission reduces operating
noise when driving.
To reduce noise, the gear case cover
incorporates sound absorbent
materials to block transmitted sound
and resonance sound
of the cse.

C Utilization of Sound Absorbent Body
Covers
Sound absorbent materials are incorporated
in covers on both
sides of and underneath the engine to
reduce noise emissions.
