The engine has been widely refined in terms of its setting, timing and electronic control to allow more progressive and responsive power output obtainable at low speeds all thanks to the high torque values and improved fuel economy. Engine power flows smoothly through hydraulically actuated, wet-sump, six-speed clutch for an ultimate highway rpm which gives the hand a break.
