Yo homies, let's get one thing straight: SRAD is not a model designation! Nobody likes acronyms like Suzuki, and the '06 Gixxers boast more than most. Here's a rundown:
PAIR Pulsed-AIR, an emissions system that injects fresh air into the exhaust ports to ignite unburned hydrocarbons.
PVD Physical Vapor Deposition, the system whereby the pistons' upper compression and oil-control rings are chrome-nitride plated for reduced friction.
SAES Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System, detailed elsewhere.
SCEM Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material, a nickel-phosphorous-silicon-carbide coating used on the cylinder liners.
SDTV Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve, not to be confused with SCTV (Second City Television)
SET Suzuki Exhaust Tuning, what Yamaha calls EXUP.
SRAD Suzuki Ram-Air Direct, even more direct this year.
