What the numbers mean
The 780 mm seat is a middle-of-the-road height: most riders will get the balls of both feet down.
At 166 kg it is a two-person job to move uphill; plan parking before you stop.
The 14 L tank is touring-sized, which matters more on a bike that can sit at highway speed. The manufacturer does not publish a consumption figure, so this page does not quote a range.
Tyres are 110/70-17M/C (54S) front and 140/70-17M/C (66S) rear. Check that your local shop stocks both before a long trip.

Ownership and maintenance notes
- Clean and lubricate the chain at short intervals in rain or dust, and check slack with the bike on its side stand. A loose chain wears sprockets quickly; a tight one loads the output bearing.
- Check tyre pressures cold. On a light bike a few psi matters more than it does on a car, and it changes both steering and tyre life.
- Liquid cooling adds a coolant level and condition check. Do it when the engine is cold, and never open the radiator cap on a hot engine.
- A high-specific-output engine rewards correct oil level and valve-clearance checks. Do not stretch the service interval because the bike feels fine.

Wording is quoted as published; spacing and unit symbols are normalised. Specification databases go stale: if a figure here differs from the current distributor page, the distributor page wins, and this sheet records what was published on the verification date.
