All engines were piston ported [[two-stroke]] types equipped with [[Suzuki]]'s proven Crankcase Cylinder Injection (CCI) multipoint oil injection system (previously known as [[PosiForce]]), conventional battery/points [[ignition system]] and chain-type final drive. The engines were designed following Suzuki's typical conservative design philosophy and featured classic [[Schnuerle porting]]. In a major departure for Suzuki, the alternator fitted was a three-phase excited field type using brushes and [[slip ring]]s with a wound rotor. A solid state [[rectifier]] and a mechanical three-step regulator completed the system. | All engines were piston ported [[two-stroke]] types equipped with [[Suzuki]]'s proven Crankcase Cylinder Injection (CCI) multipoint oil injection system (previously known as [[PosiForce]]), conventional battery/points [[ignition system]] and chain-type final drive.
