Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of "ride
away" theft. This system must recognize the "coded ignition key"
in order for the unit to start. If the immobilizer ignition does not recognize
the key (or a thief's screwdriver or other type of "jimmy tool")
the bike will not start even if the ignition is turned or forced into the
on position. If the system does not recognize the coded chip in the ignition
key, it will not allow the ignition system, fuel pump or starter motor to
function.
Windshield features a "screw less" design for a cleaner, more trick
appearance.Slim design rear tail section.
The seating position offers a very sporty yet comfortable riding position.
Extensive use of hollow bolts and lightweight fasteners help trim overall
weight.
Heavy-duty 50 series "O" ring drive chain. New design 17 tooth drive sprocket reduces chain noise.
Low maintenance, lightweight, sealed battery.
Convenient fold out under seat bungee cord fastening straps.
