Suzuki B-King

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.
