The move is in line with the new government regulations for OBD 2 compliance from April 1, 2023.

Commenting on the launch, Devashish Handa, Executive Vice President, Sales, Marketing and After Sales, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd. said, “Suzuki’s powerful 125cc engine which delivers high performance and has been ruling riders’ hearts is now E20 (petrol with 20 per cent ethanol) and OBD2-A compliant. We plan to gradually make our entire product portfolio compatible with E20 fuel. This is a part of our commitment to reduce the carbon footprint for cleaner and greener tomorrow."

As part of the update, the Suzuki Access, Avenis and Burgman Street 125 get an onboard diagnostics system that detects emissions in real-time. The unit also helps detect system failures and illuminates the console lights on the instrument cluster in case of any faults with the vehicle. All three scooters use the same 125 cc single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that develops 8.5 bhp at 6,750 rpm and 10 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a CVT unit. There are no mechanical changes to either scooter.
