The radiator is placed in the front of the engine with a fan behind it. The coolant reserve is on the left side up and behind the radiator.

The transmission is return type six-speed with a constant mesh wet multiplate clutch.

The bike has a 270 mm single disc with dual piston calipers in the front and a 220 mm single disc single piston caliper at the rear, both the brake systems being made by Nissin of Japan. The front suspension is twin telescopic fork and the rear is the advanced linked type monocross suspension. The bike features a dual headlight like other bikes of the R-series. The front tire of original R15 is 80/90-17 and rear tire is 100/80-17 while version 2.0 features radial tyres of size 90/80-17 for front and 130/70-R17 for rear.
