While the engine displaces almost 500cc more than the old version it is seven millimeters shorter front-to-back and more than one inch shorter in the cylinder head area thanks to the 5-degree-smaller Vee angle. Features borrowed from the company's sportbikes include YCC-I (two-position intake stacks), YCC-T (ride-by-wire throttle), ramp-type slipper clutch, fracture-split carburized connecting rods, and ceramic composite lining for the open-deck cylinders.
