GSX-R1000
Engine Features
-
To help maintain intake efficiency and
power output at high rpm the downdraft intake manifolds
are now 10mm shorter
-
Reshaped combustion chamber and new cam
profiles increases the compression ratio to 12.8:1
-
All-New 999cc GSX-R1000 is a clean sheet
design built to maximize combustion efficiency with more
torque and power across the rpm range and enhanced
throttle response and reduced exhaust emissions.
-
The new engine is shorter front to rear
allowing engineers to use a shorter wheelbase AND a longer
swing arm for improved racetrack performance
-
New more over square bore and stroke of
74.5mm x 57.3mm (from 73.4mm x 59.0mm) gives the engine
better overall tuning potential, specifically increased
performance at high rpm
-
Suzuki engineers were also able to
increase low-range and mid-range performance and broaden
the torque curve by reshaping the combustion chamber,
increasing the compression ratio to 12.8:1 (from 12.5:1)
and developing new cam profiles.
-
To help maintain intake efficiency and
power output at high rpm the downdraft intake manifolds
are now 10mm shorter (138mm from 148mm).
-
SRAD air box is also new and lighter.
-
The revised combustion chamber shape also
accommodates new larger intake and exhaust valves. Intake
valve size is increase from 30mm to 31mm and exhaust valve
size is increased from 24mm to 25mm.
-
The steel alloy used to produce the single
valve spring for each valve has been revised along with
camshaft profiles.
-
The new intake camshaft is shorter and
lighter and the cam angle sensor has been relocated from
the left end of the intake cam to the center of the
exhaust cam, allowing the cylinder head to be reshaped for
reduced weight
-
The close ratio six speed
transmission's
input and output shafts are now triangulated with the
crankshaft. The crankshaft is positioned more forward in
the cases relative to the cylinder centerline, the
transmission input shaft has been moved upwards and the
transmission output shaft has been moved forward
-
As a result the distance between the
crankshaft and the transmission output shaft has been
reduced by 59.6mm making the engine shorter front to rear.
-
Repositioning the transmission shafts also
allowed the crankcase assembly to be simplified , now
using two bolted-together (upper and lower) sections
instead of three, eliminating 16 screws and helping to
further reduce weight by about 670 grams.
-
The single counter balancer shaft is now
smaller measuring 20mm in bearing diameter instead of 23mm
for reduced mechanical losses
-
The back torque limiting clutch
incorporates the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) for
light clutch pull and optimum clutch performance.
-
The clutch is now directly operated by a
cable instead of a hydraulic system, improving feel and
feedback to the rider as well as reducing weight
-
A new more efficient oil cooler also has a
trapezoidal shape instead of the more conventional
rectangular shape, allowing the lower fairing to be
narrower for improved aerodynamics.
-
A new integrated clutch and starter motor
cover is about 200 grams lighter than the two individual
covers previously used.
-
A powerful microprocessor in the ECM runs
the advanced engine management system, starting with the
latest versions of the latest versions of the SDTV
downdraft double-barrel fuel injection system first
introduced on the GSX-R1000.
-
The radiator and new oil cooler also allow
for the use of narrower bodywork for reduced drag.
-
The SDTV system uses two butterfly valves
in each throttle body barrel, the primary valve controlled
by the rider via the twist grip and the secondary valve
controlled by the ECM.
-
Each throttle body feeds two cylinders and
each throttle body barrel carries two
ultra-fine-atomization, 12 hole injectors. Each cylinders
primary injector is aimed at a steep 30 degree angle down
the intake port to improve fuel atomization and operates
under all conditions.
-
The engine managements Idle Speed Control
(ISC) improves cold starting, reduces cold start emissions
and stabilizes engine idle under various conditions by
automatically regulating the volume of fresh air fed into
the throttle body circuits, based on coolant temperature.
-
Spark plugs with finer, Iridium-alloy
electrodes produce a stronger spark for better combustion
-
The latest version of the Suzuki Advanced
Exhaust System (SAES) incorporates staggered length
titanium head pipes, a collector, a short mid pipe and a
stainless steel under engine chamber that leads to two
Moto GP inspired titanium mufflers.
-
A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) servo
controlled butterfly valve built into the mid pipe helps
maximize torque throughout the RPM range.
-
The under engine chamber carries a
catalyzer to help reduce hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and
nitrogen oxide emissions.
-
The computer controlled Suzuki PAIR system
injects fresh air from the airbox into the exhaust ports
further reducing emissions by igniting unburned
hydrocarbons.
-
Ventilation holes positioned underneath
the bottom of the piston stroke in each cylinder bore
allow air trapped underneath each descending piston to
quickly escape to adjacent cylinders.
-
Unique Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS)
system allow the rider to select one of three fuel
injection and ignition system maps, adjusting power
delivery to suit personal preference.
-
Using a button now located on the left
handlebar control module, the rider can instantaneously
switch between the three available maps, which are
designated A, B and C as displayed on the instrument
panel.
Chassis Features
-
All new more compact twin spar frame welded together using
five cast aluminum alloy sections including a steering head
section, two main-spar/swingarm pivot plate sections and cross
braces above and below the swing arm.
-
The new aluminum alloy swingarm is constructed using just
three castings and is arched to make room for the dual
titanium mufflers to be tucked in tightly on each side.
The new more compact 09 GSX-R1000 engine allowed the design
team to shorten up the mainframe reducing the distance between
the steering head and the swing arm pivot while also reshaping
the main spars to precisely fit the contours of the new
engine.
-
New dimensions allow the use of a swingarm that is now 33mm
longer, measuring 577mm from the center of the pivot shaft to
the center of the rear axle in the standard position while
still reducing the wheelbase by 10mm to 1405mm.
A new one piece die cast aluminum alloy rear sub frame and tail section
support is now lighter and seat height is
unchanged at 810mm
-
New Showa BPF (Big Piston Front) 43mm fork design
eliminates the internal cartridge assembly inserted into each
fork leg and instead uses a single 39.6mm upper piston riding
against the inside wall of the inner fork tube.
The larger piston and shims used in the BPF forks produce more
effective valving, with more controlled compression delivering
better feedback to the rider.
-
The BPF design relocates the fork springs to the bottom of
each fork leg, where they are completely submerged in oil,
reducing fork oil foaming and contributing to more stable
damping.
The rebound and compression valving adjustment screws are
indented into the fork caps. Spring preload is adjusted at the
bottom of the fork leg assembly.
-
Each BPF fork leg is also 720 grams lighter than the
conventional fork tube it replaces.
The Showa rear shock works through an aluminum alloy linkage
mounted on the swing arm, with an extruded aluminum alloy link
rods connected to the frame. The rear shock absorber is
adjustable for rebound, high and low speed compression and
spring preload.
-
Electronically controlled steering damper uses the ECM to
monitor motorcycle speed and adjust damping force as needed.
The new GSX-R1000 front brake system matches fully floating
310mm drilled discs with radial mount race proven mono-block
forged aluminum alloy front brake calipers
-
New front brake calipers are more rigid despite each being
205 grams lighter than conventional bolt together calipers,
reducing flex and improving feedback.
The radial pump front brake master cylinder now measures 17mm
(from19mm) for improved rider feedback and feel.
-
Newly designed cast aluminum alloy wheels feature a more
aggressive design and are also lighter.
The rear disc brake works with a single piston caliper mounted
above the swing arm.
-
The new wind tunnel tested upper fairing is wider,
providing better wind protection while also reducing
turbulence and drag.
Re-designed SRAD intakes are larger and positioned closer to
the centerline of the fairing nose, where air pressure is the
highest.
-
The multi-reflector headlight incorporates a new look with
vertically stacked high and low beam halogen bulbs centered
between position lights on each side.
The sharply creased fairing sides feature a layered look that
improves the flow of cooling air through the radiator and away
from the rider.
-
The rear turn signals feature clear lenses over amber bulbs
and the lenses are integrated into and wrap around the outside
edges of the seat cowl.
The LED combination taillight and brake light is built into
the rear of the tail section, featuring a red, mirror lens,
covering LED's.
-
Foot pegs remain three way adjustable in 14mm in a
horizontal and vertical range.
The new sculpted fuel tank is lighter while retaining 17.5
liters of capacity.
-
The all new instrument cluster is centered around an analog
tachometer framed by an elegant silver ring with an adjacent
digital LCD speedometer.
A new programmable engine RPM indicator system incorporates
four LED's.
-
A new speedometer display mode switch is now mounted on the
right handlebar control module and can be used to trigger the
lap time counter.
