of supplying maximum propulsion.
Multi-Point Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection The key to gaining maximum propulsion is through the use
of a large diameter propeller with a suitable pitch. But
spinning a larger propeller requires more torque, which
requires larger gears or a larger gearbox adding weight and
resistance that do not always produce effective results.
Suzuki engineers have long used a two-stage gear reduction
system that provides the needed torque without adding
unwanted bulk and weight. Through this method, the
DF70/80/90 achieve a powerful 2.59:1 final drive ratio,
producing the needed torque for
quick acceleration and great
