2008 Suzuki GSX-R750™

Chassis Features

• The lightweight frame is built entirely of aluminum alloy castings and is engineered to deliver optimum rigidity, unmatched accuracy and maximum cornering performance.
• A braced aluminum alloy swingarm features a large 22 millimeter swingarm pivot and is designed for optimum rider feel and maximum rear wheel traction.
• Innovative rear suspension linkage utilizes a forged aluminum alloy link and a forged aluminum link rod that reduces side loads and helps the rear shock absorber move in a smooth arc.
• Showa 41 millimeter aluminum alloy rear shock with a 16 millimeter rod diameter are fully adjustable for high and low speed compression, spring preload and rebound damping for maximum rider control.
• Three way adjustable footpegs now feature die-cast construction and can be moved into three different positions with a 14 millimeter horizontal and vertical range.
• Compact, lightweight instrument cluster features a step motor controlled analog tachometer, LCD speedometer, dual trip meters, clock and a convenient gear position indicator.

Engine Features

• Updated Compact four-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine designed for optimum combustion efficiency and maximum power delivery.
• Cylinder head with narrow valve angles creating a compact combustion chamber design, 12.5:1 compression ratio, large intake and exhaust ports for optimum intake and exhaust efficiency and new Iridium spark plugs.
• Lightweight titanium valves with steel alloy springs and aluminum spring retainers operated by thin-wall hollow camshafts to reduce weight and inertia.
• Lightweight forged aluminum alloy pistons with short skirts, cut away sides and an anti-friction surface finish along with shotpeened chrome-moly steel connecting rods for improved strength.
• Crankshaft features forged steel construction and a secondary balancer shaft for reduced vibration at high rpm.
• Crankshaft and transmission shafts are positioned to create a compact engine design and the engine itself is rotated slightly forward in the chassis allowing for straighter and shorter intake and exhaust ports.
• High capacity large trapezoidal-shaped radiator provide efficient engine cooling - includes compact cooling fan assembly designed for improved air flow.
• SRAD (Suzuki Ram Air Direct) force feeds cool, pressurized air into the airbox at highway speeds, improving engine efficiency and throttle response.

New Chassis

• New GSX-R750 fuel tank features an innovative new design and fuel capacity is increased to 17 liters.
• The 2008 GSX-R750 features a sharp new look utilizing a bold new headlight design, new angular tail section and compact overall layout.
• New electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
• New lightweight cast aluminum wheels featuring a new angled spoke design for improved rigidity, reduced unsprung weight and improved acceleration.
• New Inverted 41 millimeter Showa cartridge front forks are fully adjustable for high and low speed compression, spring preload, and rebound damping.
• Radial mount four piston front brake calipers works with new thinner 310 millimeter front brake rotors and a revised front brake master cylinder.

New Engine

• New larger 41 millimeter ventilation holes between cylinders to reduce crankcase pressure and mechanical loss.
• New electronic fuel injection system features Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system - with dual fuel injectors per cylinder and new compact eight hole, fine spray injectors for improved fuel atomization.
• New S-DMS engine management system allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match riding conditions with a handlebar mounted switch.
• Under deceleration the back torque limiting clutch reduces pressure on the clutch plates for smoother downshifting and corner entry.
• New clutch cover and oil pan feature new internal ribs for increased rigidity and reduced engine noise.
• 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 an innovative under engine chamber leading to a new large volume muffler with a new distinctly shaped triangular silencer.
• New hydraulic cam chain tensioner automatically adjusts while reducing noise and mechanical losses.
• New Ignition coil outer diameter is smaller for reduced weight and the starter motor uses new rare earth magnets for a compact lightweight design.
• New 32 bit ECM features 1,024 kilobytes of ROM for maximum engine performance working in conjunction with the new S-DMS engine management system.
