The APRC package is also updated to the second generation making it the same one on the RSV4. Other changes to the 2014 version includes a higher capacity tank that now is 18.5 litres and a better seat. The engine has a revised timing system, longer intake ducts and a new crankshaft flywheel to improve overall smoothness.
