Motorcycles SUZUKI GSX-R1000 - 2005

More compact overall chassis dimensions including shorter reach from seat to handlebars, lower footpegs, shorter/narrower fuel tank, 20mm lower seat height - all designed for improved rider comfort and mobility. 

New Chassis 

New-design generator is more compact and supplies power to a lighter and shorter maintenance-free battery - ECM is also narrower and shorter for weight reduction. 

ECM-controlled PAIR (Pulsed-AIR) system - operation based on throttle position and engine rpm to reduce HC, CO and NOx emissions.  

Suzuki Exhaust Tuning System (SET) regulates exhaust pressure waves to suit running conditions and maintain optimum engine torque. 

New Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) - all titanium system designed and positioned to keep mass low and close to the centerline of the machine, plus decrease drag and increase cornering bank angle. 

Larger trapezoidal-shaped radiator improves cooling capacity 17% without increasing frontal area, plus new compact cooling fan design further improves efficiency - system includes high-capacity radiator-type oil cooler. 

Closer transmission gear ratios for improved acceleration, plus redesigned shift forks for smoother shifting. 

Back-torque limiting clutch allows smoother downshifts, plus new rack and pinion operating system provides more positive clutch feel. 

New reinforced crankshaft and chrome-moly connecting rods, plus recalibrated balancer shaft for dependable high rpm operation. 

Lighter weight forged pistons featuring chrome-nitride coated upper compression and oil control rings to reduce friction and improve sealing. 

New Titanium intake and exhaust valves with larger 4.5mm stems for increased strength - valves are lighter overall permitting a 1000 rpm higher engine redline

New cylinder head features larger 30mm intake and 24mm exhaust ports, plus smaller combustion chamber and higher 12.5 :1 compression ratio for high power output. 

Twin injectors per throttle body for improved throttle response and acceleration - primary injector operates under all conditions while secondary injector operates under high rpm/heavy load conditions to further increase engine output

Compact double-barrel throttle body design with larger 52mm bores for improved power, plus narrower pitch between outer and inner bores - allows use of narrower airbox, fuel tank and bodywork to provide more room for rider's knees/elbows. 

Improved electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output - includes Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS). 

Larger displacement 998.6cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine for increased power, torque and acceleration - includes several features to reduce friction and reciprocating mass. 

New Engine 

Overall length is 2 030mm with a 1 405mm wheelbase and a seat height of 810mm. Claimed weight is 166kg. Combined with inverted telescopic forks up front and a link-type fully-adjustable shock at the rear and 310mm dual-disc brakes up front and a 2-piston calliper 220mm disc at the rear, the new Gixer should be able to retain its heavyweight title. 

At the heart of the new beast is a 999cc, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke thumper. No figures are available, yet, but who cares. We all know that the GSX-R is a brilliant machine. 

In an effort to maintain their position at the top of the litre-bike class, Suzuki has gone all-out with an up-dated GSX-R1000 model for 2005.
