COMPACT, POWERFUL ENGINE

The high-performance 999.8cm3 four-stroke liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four engine is the most powerful and hardest accelerating engine in the GSX-R family.

Simple, compact and light, the centrifugally operated SR-VVT system is built into the intake cam sprocket and an adjacent guide plate, adding significantly to power at the high end.

The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) contributes to smooth shifting and realizes a light touch to clutch lever operation that helps reduce fatigue on long rides, especially when caught in busy traffic.

Precision Power

In addition to the primary injectors that operate full-time in each throttle body, a secondary set of four Suzuki Top Feed Injectors (S-TFI) spray fuel from the top of the air box directly into the intake funnels at higher rpm. This results in enhanced combustion efficiency, throttle response and top-end power.

The Suzuki Racing Finger follower valve train system improves valve control and allows higher rpm.

The new exhaust system includes a slimmer new muffler design.

Suzuki Launch Control System

The Suzuki Launch Control System has also been updated to further improve its control scheme.

This system makes it easier for a racer to get a good start in closed-course competition by automatically limiting engine rpm and optimizing torque delivery while the rider holds the throttle twist grip wide open and concentrates on feeding in the clutch lever.

Each forged aluminum piston has short skirts, cutaway sides and a short, DLC-coated wrist pin to reduce friction.

The compression ratio is 13.8:1. In addition to the primary injector mounted in each throttle body, a second injector that operates at higher rpm — also known as a Top Feed Injector (TFI) — is mounted on top of the air cleaner box, directly over each throttle body’s intake funnel.

The TFI injector delivers additional fuel in an improved spray pattern designed to enhance combustion efficiency, throttle response and top-end power.

Suzuki Top Feed Injectors (S-TFI)

Complementing the four primary fuel injectors in the throttle bodies are four Suzuki Top Feed Injectors (S-TFI) that spray fuel from the top of the air box directly into the intake funnels. This results in higher peak power, more efficient combustion, and a higher level of fueling control.

Suzuki Dual Stage Intake (S-DSI)

To increase top end power without losing lower RPM performance, the air box is equipped with Stacked Air Intake Funnels for the #1 and #4 cylinders. This simple design allows good air flow at all intake speeds without requiring a mechanism that adds weight or complexity.

4-2-1 exhaust system

The 4-2-1 thin wall Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (S-AES) is designed to help the engine deliver a wide range of performance with an exciting rush up to redline. The muffler has a pleasing appearance while creating an exciting, distinctive sound.

Cooling System

The high-efficiency curved radiator with dual electric fans also contributes to excellent cooling performance, and the radiator itself adopts a more compact form.

Transmission

Based on Suzuki’s race-proven six-speed close-ratio transmissions, the new GSX-R1000 features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

The primary gear ratio is lower compared to the prior GSX-R1000 for stronger acceleration.

A programmable shift light is on the main panel to provide a visual alert to the rider to shift when a certain engine RPM is reached.

Bi-directional Quick-shift system

The Bi-directional Quick-shift system lets riders, using their motorcycle in competition, shift faster than ever before. The system’s clutch less shifting delivers the rider faster and more consistent lap times.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)

The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) leverages precision-engineered ramps to force the clutch boss and pressure plate together and efficiently transfer torque to the rear wheel under acceleration, all while using softer clutch springs.

Chassis

The compact, light-weight chassis provides quick response and agility. It is designed to increase the rider’s confidence in RUN, TURN, STOP performance on the racetrack.
