This bike uses a liquid-cooled 645cc V-twin engine Fuel injection makes for effortless cold starts and smooth power delivery The 11 2:1 compression ratio is slightly lower than the average of all 2014 adventure motorcycles A higher compression ratio is desirable because it means an engine can do the same amount of work with less fuel leading to increased efficiency and power for a given engine size the only downside is that using low octane fuel can damage the engine A cylinder bore and stroke of 81 x 62 6mm makes this motor oversquare: the bore width of the cylinder is greater than its stroke length Oversquare engines excel at revving high and producing a lot of power for their displacement at the expense of low-end torque
