The turn signals are rounded and sleek for less drag, and the headlight assembly fits flush into the fairing nose. Suzuki engineers paid attention to making street equipment lighter as well. Eliminating the mechanical speedometer drive saved another 210 grams. The headlight lens is plastic instead of glass, and is 680 grams lighter. The wiring harness was shortened and reorganized to concentrate and centralize electrical components, saving 120 grams.
Street riders can appreciate ease of maintenance as much as racers and racing mechanics can.
The engine oil filter is mounted at a 90-degree angle on the front of the engine, for easier replacement. The fairing is held on with fewer fasteners and the number of different fastener sizes is reduced.
