Accordingly, it became possible and a greater realization of the motor's possibilities: to improve the elasticity it had to be recycled. The combination of inlet and outlet devices has changed.

As a result, the thrust at 4.000-5.000 rpm in the main engine mode was significantly increased, which resulted in a more rare transmission switching, which greatly simplifies the process of driving the bike.

All these moments, of course, attract the attention of the future buyer, but still it is worth paying attention to the interior of the model.
