2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000™

New Chassis

• All new aluminum alloy twin-spar frame is built using 5 castings for lightweight, unmatched handling and performance, increased production precision, and reduced weight
• New braced aluminum-alloy swingarm is more rigid and features an innovative new link system which pivots on the swingarm itself for increased traction and reduced side loaDual Sport
• New DLC coated 43 mm forks and rear shock now feature high and low speed compression damping along with adjustable rebound and preload settings
• New forks feature larger 56 mm outer tubes below the triple clamp for increased rigidity and fork offset is changed from 30 mm to 28 mm with trail increased from 96 mm to 98 mm. Front wheel travel is also increased from 120 mm to 125 mm
• New electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force
• New adjustable rider footpegs can be moved into 3 different positions to suit rider preferences
• New 310 mm front brake discs are attached to the carrier with 12 floating mounts instead of 8 for improved heat transfer away from the disc and are also thinner at 5 mm for reduced weight
• Rear disc works with a single piston caliper and is mounted above the swingarm for reduced braking effect on the rear suspension
• New wind tunnel developed bodywork features an aggressive new style, reduced frontal area and a taller winDual Sportcreen for optimum aerodynamic performance
• New vertically stacked headlight features an updated shape with a compact projector bulb and when combined with the sleek bodywork and tailsection offer maximum rider mobility and improved styling
• A new easy-to-read instrument cluster includes a step motor controlled analog tachometer, digital LCD speedometer, dual tripmeters, clock, convenient gear position sensor, rpm indicator light and a new LCD engine mode indicator displaying which performance setting has been selected by the rider
• Close-ratio slick shifting 6-speed transmission with an adjustable back torque limiter for smoother downshifts
• Bridgestone radial tires mounted on cast aluminum wheels featuring thin spoke design with optimized wall thickness to reduce unsprung weight

New Engine

• New 999cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine for increased power, torque and acceleration with forged aluminum alloy pistons, chrome-moly shotpeend connecting roDual Sport, hollow camshafts, and a secondary balancer shaft for reduced vibration
• New more compact fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - with 12 smaller holes for improved fuel delivery and steeper angle for secondary injectors
• New intake and exhaust ports are reshaped and 8% larger with larger titanium exhaust valves, more aggressive camshafts, and iridium spark plugs
• New Idle Speed Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting, consistent idle quality and reduced emissions
• New high volume Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with equal length head pipes feeding a unique under engine chamber leading to 2 compact aluminum / titanium mufflers on each side
• The new mid-pipe includes a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system for maximum torque throughout the rpm range and an oxygen sensor used by the engine management system and combined with the under-engine catalyzer for reduced emissions
• New larger 48 mm ventilation holes between cylinders reduce pumping losses and the crankcase breather system now features a reed valve to prevent pressure waves in the airbox from reaching the crankcase
• New self adjusting hydraulic clutch uses a radial master cylinder and minimizes changes in clutch feel over a long race
• Back-torque limiting clutch allows smooth downshifts, plus a rack and pinion operating system provides more positive clutch feel
• New engine management system is 4 times more powerful than the previous system and allows the rider to choose from 3 engine settings to match riding conditions with a handlebar mounted switch
• New larger radiator utilizes a trapezoidal shape seen on works racebikes with 10% more cooling capacity. The oil cooler is also reshaped delivering a third more cooling capacity and works with a larger oil pump
