Malta Independent Sunday, 28 September 2008, 00:00 Last update: about 13 years ago

Ten years after starting the four-stroke revolution with its award winning DF60 and DF70 outboards, Suzuki is re-inventing the DF90. As the first of Suzuki’s new generation four-strokes, they are a showcase of advancements and achievements, such as digital sequential electronic fuel injection, a powerful 2.59:1 final drive ratio, and a zero-maintenance self-adjusting timing chain-that Suzuki has pioneered over the last 10 years.

They also feature Suzuki’s proven offset drive shaft, which, used in combination with a newly designed power head, contributes to making the DF90 the smallest and lightest four-stroke outboard in its class. This compact, lightweight design also makes any of these three outboards ideal for use on a wide range of boat types.

Cowlings on all three outboards feature new graphics on their sides and Suzuki’s “S” logo on front giving these first of a new generation of four-strokes a sharp new look.

• The DF90 is the lightest, most compact The DF90 offers top-level fuel efficiency in its class.

• A new streamlined gear case and highly efficient propeller contribute to increased top speed and economical operation.

• Smoother shifting through precision engineering.

• The DF90 offers low emissions and clean operation that meet CARB 3-Star Ultra-Low Emissions standards-one of the strictest emission standards in the world.

The DF90 benefits from Suzuki’s unrivalled experience in the design and manufacture of motorcycle, automotive, and marine engines. Drawing upon their past advancements and achievements, Suzuki engineers have provided these new outboards with advanced engineering that delivers high power output, performance, fuel economy, and efficient operation.

Starting with an in-line 4-cylinder block, Suzuki designed an all new, more compact dual overhead cam (DOHC) power head with four valves per cylinder. Its design has reduced the overall size of the outboard while providing high performance power.

Power is delivered via a two-stage mixed cam drive system consisting of gears that transfer power between the crankshaft and the drive shaft, and a chain that delivers power from the drive shaft to the camshaft.
