The front section comes with apron-mounted LED lights with integrated DRL. Like before, the halogen indicators are positioned at the handlebar. It also gets a newer split-seat setup with a raised grab rail. Moreover, the larger air box is fairly noticeable.
Finally, it sports a new X-shaped LED tail lamp with mudguard-mounted halogen indicators.
