New gizmo on 2010 GZ.
 

I noticed the photos of the 2010 GZ show some new device added behind the horn. Does anyone know what that is, and how it will affect performance?

I looked at the photos and it looks to me like some sort of new evaporative emission control for gas fumes (??)

BTW, there are only a few 2010 Suzi models and the GeeZer is one.

Let us know if you find out something different.

:cool:

All I know is it is ugly and detracts from the GZ's looks. Suzuki should have mounted it somewhere less noticeable.

I've not seen the photos. Where are they? Sounds like the crankcase ventilation system that's on my 2007 European model, but without the pictures I can't say.

On the Suzuki site. I just search suzuki to get their site.

Re: New gizmo on 2010 GZ.
 

Shouldn't affect performance at all. It is probably just the charcoal cannister that collects gas fumes and holds them until the engine burns them off. No maintenance required either so no need to mess with it. Your bikes contribution to clean air.

It doesn't look like a cannister, but more like a pressure sensor or valve.

Does it look like this? If so it's the crankcase ventilation. Nothing to do with emission control.[attachment=0:wh3eyr0e]Bike 018.JPG[/attachment:wh3eyr0e]

The GZ already has crankcase ventilation, straight into the air breather case, so now it has two different crankcase vents?

something similar as alantf has on his bike (see near the horn). experts can explain better. i think the turn signals is also more oval in this. picture from suzuki.com

can you explain what this extra ventilation will help in doing?
