Description
Using SV650 engineering, the V-Strom 650XT’s DOHC liquid-cooled engine has been tuned to deliver clean, strong power at any rpm.
Low friction resin coated pistons and SCEM coated cylinders help provide high mileage for the class leading touring range.
Engine cover hardware and other select fasteners are redesigned to allow the use of Torx or conventional hex-style tools.
The sleek 2-in-1 exhaust system is routed underneath the chassis to reduce weight, centralize mass, and provide space for a narrow tail section (and optional luggage).
The exhaust system has dual catalysts and employs O2 feedback to the EFI system to produce optimum combustion efficiency and reduce emissions to an incredibly low level.
The fuel injection system employs Suzuki’s innovative SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) in 39mm throttle bodies. The secondary butterfly valves are controlled by a servo motor for smooth power delivery.
Long-nose type ten-hole fuel injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.
Suzuki’s patented built-in throttle body idle speed control (TI-ISC) stabilizes the engine’s idle speed and helps reduce emissions. The system is compact and light.
The TI-ISC in the V-Strom 650XT has Suzuki’s low-speed RPM assist feature that perfectly adjusts engine speed during takeoff and low-speed driving to smooth power delivery. It also helps reduce the chance of the rider stopping the motorcycle.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and features improved configurations to accommodate updated intake and exhaust systems, resulting in better fuel economy and linear throttle response.
The engine has two spark technology heads with two high-energy, thin-electrode spark plugs per cylinder, which aid combustion efficiency and energy production.
The V-Strom 650XT is equipped with Suzuki’s Advanced Traction Control System *, which allows the rider to control the throttle more confidently in various driving conditions. Continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle opening, engine speed, and selected drive gear to adjust engine output if wheel spin is detected.
There are three traction control modes (1, 2, and OFF), and the difference between the modes is their sensitivity to road conditions. Mode 1 is the lowest sensitivity level, best suited for expert cyclists or in conditions that have a good grip on the road surface (riding on good, smooth roads). Mode 2 is the highest sensitivity level, suitable for road conditions where grip may be limited (wet or cold surfaces). OFF disables all traction control functions.
This V-Strom also features the Suzuki Easy Start System, which allows the rider to start the motorcycle with a momentary press of the start button without pressing the clutch lever when the transmission is in neutral.
The compact radiator is flanked by wind-directing plates that improve cooling efficiency and direct heat away from the side vents away from the driver’s legs.
The six-speed transmission accommodates sporty rides with tight 1st to 5th gear ratios and a high top gear (6th gear) for road cruises.
Low maintenance, long life sealed o-ring drive chain is standard.
