One of the biggest additions to the XRt and XCa models is the larger capacity 650W alternator that will now come as a standard equipment on both bikes. The inclusion of the more powerful alternator allows the two bikes to have enough power to make good use of its new heated rider and pillions seats, LED foglights, satellite navigation, and yes, even heated clothing. The two off-road bikes also received a GPS mounting kit, a CNC-machined brake reservoir, and an aluminum radiator guard.
