==Engine== | |||
The engine was a oil & [[air cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 60.0mm [[bore]] x 50.6mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 572.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-plate type. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 100/90-1654h front [[tire]] and a 130/90-1667h rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The front suspension was a telescopic, pneumatic/ coil spring, oil dampened while the rear was equipped with a full- floating suspension system. The GS550L was fitted with a 2.4 Gallon (9.08 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 410.06 pounds (186.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 56.89 inches (1445 mm) long. | |||
