Suzuki says the larger mufflers (boasting a triangular cross section) were necessary to allow the bikes to produce more power while still meeting the latest sound and emissions regulations. The exhaust chamber mounted underneath the engine carries a catalyzer to further reduce emissions.
An electronically controlled steering damper produces less damping force for lighter steering at lower speeds, and more damping force at high speeds.
