2004 Suzuki LC

Japanese engineering and reliability. Recently replaced rear brakes, had a safety check and replaced fluids. Long 1700 mm wheelbase chassis, (longer than a Harley) with 32° rake angle, is set up for low seat height with comfortable seating and control positions. I am 6' 1" and this is one of the few motorcycles that gives me a comfortable ride. Wide, thickly padded gel seats - rear seat can be removed for open fender look. Wide floorboard-type footrests for driver and passenger.

Long, low, cruiser design with emphasis on custom details, comfort, low rpm operation and ease of maintenance. Narrow 1462 cc, 6-valve air/oil cooled engine is designed for maximum low/mid-range torque and acceleration. 45 degree phase, dual pin crankshaft minimizes vibration plus added flywheel mass enhances low/mid-range power. SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electro-Chemical Material) cylinder plating is durable, minimizes cylinder size & weight and improves heat dissipation. Efficient SACS air/oil cooling system (front & rear cylinder) system with additional piston-jet cooling and engine oil cooler.
Mikuni 36 mm carburetors provide excellent throttle response and are mounted between the cylinders. Hydraulic clutch eliminates adjustment maintenance. 5-speed transmission with low maintenance, low torque reactive shaft final drive. Gear ratios set for low engine rpm and optimum fuel efficiency at cruising speed. Right-side mounted, large volume exhaust system is tuned for low rpm power and a throaty exhaust sound. Double cradle steel frame is made of large diameter steel tubing for rigidity with bolt-on sections for ease of maintenance. Link-type rear suspension with preload adjustment combined with 43 mm front forks provide a comfortable, compliant ride. Fuel tank positioned below the seat for a low center of gravity and stable agile handling. Disc brakes both front (11.6 in. diameter) and rear (10.8 in. diameter). Wide 150/80-16 front and 180/70-15 rear tire are mounted on custom-styled machined aluminum wheels.
