Revolutionary overwhelming styling. High-tech chassis. Fuel-injected and power-packed 1340c m 3 inline-four engine producing prodigious torque and breathtaking acceleration across the entire rpm range. A motorcycle with strong, muscular personality. With genuine Suzuki high-performance DNA. The B-King. The one and only.
B-KING Features
- 1340cm3 in-line 4-cylinder fuel-injected liquid-cooled DOHC engine tuned for muscular torque and exhilarating throttle response.
- Hard, smooth chrome-nitride Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating on the upper compression and oil control piston rings reduces friction and wear while improving cylinder sealing.
- Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating improves heat transfer, durability and ring seal.
- U-shaped cutouts in cylinder-bore sides allow air below descending pistons to escape to adjacent cylinders to reduce pumping pressure and power losses.
- Lightweight titanium valves allow use of single valve springs for less inertia mass and aggressive cam timing while maintaining accurate valve control.
- Large-capacity curved radiator, fitted with two engine-management-computer-controlled 160mm (6.2-inch) electric fans. 10-row oil cooler is mounted underneath the radiator.
- Powerful 32-bit, 1024-kilobyte ROM computer, for running the state-of-the-art fuel injection, ignition and engine management systems.
- Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection results in improved power delivery, a more linear response, better mileage and less emissions. This system uses engine-computer-operated secondary valves to maintain optimum intake-air velocity for maximum combustion efficiency.
- Two 12-hole fine-spray injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency and while reducing fuel consumption.
- Idle Speed Control (ISC) system improves cold starting and helps maintain stable engine idle.
- Emissions control systems including a large-volume catalyzer reduce hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions to meet tough Euro 3 and TIER 2 standards.
- 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system, with a dual-exit underseat muffler. The muffler ends share a slash-cut shape with the seat-cowl rear end.
- Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) switch mounted on the fuel tank allows to select one of two engine control maps to suit personal preferences.
- Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) serves as back-torque-limiting system for smoother downshifts and also contributes to a lighter clutch pull.
- High-tech twin-spar aluminum-alloy frame built with five precision pressure castings of various complex shapes.
- Aluminum-alloy rear swingarm made of three pressure castings has a beautiful finish and less welding seams, along with optimum rigidity.
- Modern inverted front forks with adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping.
- Steering damper mounted on the upper triple clamp is standard equipment.
- Single rear shock absorber, with fully adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping.
- Stylish 3-spoke cast-aluminum-alloy wheels shod with 120/70ZR17M/C (58W) front and 200/50ZR17M/C (75W) rear radial tires.
- Dual 310mm (12.2-inch)-floating-disc front brakes with radial-mount opposed-four-piston calipers. Radial master cylinder improves rider feel at the brake lever.
- Single-piston rear brake caliper operate on a 260mm (10.2-inch) disc.
- Bold styling contrasting prominent blocks - fuel tank, seat cowl and muffler exits - with condensed blocks - headlight, front fender and seat.
- Pentagon design motif accentuates the front brake master cylinder, fluid reservoir and disc carriers, and clutch master cylinder fluid reservoir.
- 60w high-beam and 55w low-beam headlight carried in a stylish module.
- Bodywork-integrated clear-lends front and rear turn signals, both combining cut and grained surfaces.
- Smoothly combined footpeg brackets/swingarm pivot covers.
- Detail touches include mesh grills on tank side air intakes, radiator cover and center muffler cover; and 3-form front fender.
- Instrument panel built into headlight module, centered around an analog tachometer and LCD digital speedometer and gear-position indicator. LCD display also include a clock, odometer, dual trip meters, maintenance intervals, running time, average speed, fuel level, engine temperature and S-DMS selection.
- B-KING logo displayed on instrument panel when ignition is turned ON.
