Long, low, agile chassis with easy to use 675mm (26.6") seat height





ENGINE

942cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 4-valves per cylinder, 60° V-twin produces outstanding low- and mid-range torque - maximum torque is reached of them costing only 3,500 rpm - for exceptional cruising performance.

One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to supply optimum volumetric or filling efficiency for optimum power output. More fuel / air mixture entering the combustion chamber means increased power output. Two smaller intake valves allow more ventilation than the usual single large valve. Two smaller valves (lighter) also permit higher rpms before valve float.

Pent roof type combustion with optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre from the combustion chamber (and also the located long reach spark plug) for faster, more complete combustion and therefore improved power and reduced emissions.

Cylinder heads feature buff polished fins for any quality appearance, as the cylinder head covers are chromed.

The SOHC valve train features 31.5mm intake and 28mm exhaust valves with single valve springs which reduce friction and power losses. Engineered "Y" shaped rocker arms activate the valves. The roller rocker system utilizes needle bearings that "roll" on the cam lobes allowing the lift of two valves simultaneously without producing excessive camshaft wear .

Auto adjusting cam chain tensioners are utilized to reduce mechanical engine noise and maintenance

Lightweight aluminium cylinders feature ceramic composite plating for superior heat dissipation for excellent cooling, less friction, reduced weight and longer engine life.

Single pin style crankshaft can be used to improve engine character and exhaust note.

Flat top, lightweight forged aluminium pistons provide great resiliency while reducing reciprocating mass for fast throttle response.

Wet sump oil delivery system features a simple access spin-on type oil filter. A conventional dipstick can be used to check on oil level.

Dual bore, 35mm throttle body fuel injection system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed Control). This can be a "closed loop" system that employs a heated oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor feeds back info towards the ECU which adjusts the fuel/air mixture for optimum power with minimum emissions. The oxygen sensor is situated prior to the mufflers, therefore the utilization of aftermarket slip-on mufflers won't affect this technique.

4-hole, 2-directional spray, Denso fuel injectors bring excellent fuel atomization and much more complete combustion chamber filling. There's one injector per cylinder.

Fuel injection benefits include improved gas mileage; choke-less operation, reduced emissions, and smoother drivability. The XVS950 continues to be tuned use a very "linear" throttle response for simple riding.

Powerful 32 bit ECU controls the ignition and fuel injection process

Stylish 2 into 1 exhaust system includes a 3-way honeycomb-type catalyser in the access point towards the muffler. The catalyser reduces harmful exhaust emissions, as the "dual stage type" muffler creates a low, throaty V-Twin exhaust note.

Multi-plate "outer pull type'" wet clutch can be used. Lever pull is light and simple.

5-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for excellent city and highway drivability. Transmission gears use "straight cut dogs" for smooth, positive shifting. 5th gear delivers outstanding cruising performance and reduced rpms at highway speed

Transistorized coil ignition (T.C.I.) supplies a hot spark without a doubt starts and it is maintenance-free.

Clean, quiet belt drive product is extremely low maintenance and simplifies customization. The belt is comparable to the XVS1300 and features "Aramid" cords for excellent strength and reduced stretching.

Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions.

One piece classic heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and improves the overall cruising experience.

Numerous chromed engine parts reinforce this motorcycle's quality image.
