GSXR1000 AM4

The King of Sportsbikes

Well over three decades have passed since the GSX-R750 revolutionized the sportbike category, and more than 20 years since the GSX-R1000 transformed the open sportbike class. And more than a million GSX-R’s have sold over the years. Introducing the latest Suzuki GSX-R1000: the most powerful, hardest-accelerating, cleanest-running GSX-R ever built.

Own the Racetrack is more than just a slogan for the GSX-R1000. It is a phrase earned by sustained success in the FIM Endurance Would Championship (EWC) besting all other participating manufactures with 20 titles in the fabled series. The controllability, reliability, and durability of Suzuki’s King of Sportsbikes truly demonstrates total performance integrated at the highest level.

The most powerful GSX-R ever

The compact 999.8cm³ liquid- cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, inline- four engine is designed with a high level of top-end performance plus strong low- to mid-range power.

The short-stroke engine features a 76.0mm bore versus a 55.1mm stroke, as well as a narrow profile thanks to effective design.

Technology adopted directly from racing development, the Suzuki Racing Finger Follower valve train weighs less than a tappet-style valve train for reduced friction and increased valve response at higher engine speeds.

Four titanium valves — two 31.5mm intake and two 24mm exhaust valves — are used in each cylinder. The lighter valves respond well to the finger follower’s arms and permit a 14,500 rpm redline that helps produce very high peak horsepower.

Transmission

The cassette-style, 6-speed transmission lets riders precisely match the gear ratio to the riding condition. A cassette-style transmission can be easily removed from the crankcase as an assembly with the engine still in the frame, facilitating quicker race track gear changes and simplified service.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)

The GSX-R1000 is equipped with the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) multi-plate, wet clutch. SCAS works like a slipper clutch during downshifts while increasing clamping pressure on the plates during acceleration. This smooths engine braking and lightens the clutch lever pull.

Drive chain

To reduce moving mass, a 525-size drive chain is used with a 45/17 final sprocket ratio that complements the large rear tire dimensions.

Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.)

The advanced electronic control systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) help you optimize performance characteristics to match your changing riding needs and preferences, both on the street and the track. These include the Bi-directional Quick Shift System, Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), Motion Track TCS (Traction Control System*), Motion Track Brake System, and Ride-by- Wire Electronic Throttle System.

Supporting S.I.R.S. is a compact 6-direction, 3-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that constantly monitors pitch, roll, and yaw movement to help provide more precise and effective traction, braking and cornering.
