2011 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Specs and Features

2011 GSX-R1000

The GSX-R1000 is a motorcycle that has been fine-tuned and developed on racetracks and on asphalt around the world. It’s a machine that resolutely defines dominance, having won an incredible seven straight AMA Superbike Championships in a row. With its new class-leading engine, new chassis and suspension technology, there’s no question that the GSX-R1000 is the amazing motor sport of 2011. In 2011, the new Suzuki GSX-R1000 is offered in a new Metallic Triton Blue/Glass Spash White finish with updated graphics as well as a Solid Black/Metallic Mat Titanium Silver. This strengthens its character as a true sport bike.

2011 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Features

• The class-leading GSX-R is powered by a 999cc four-cylinder powerplant with a bore and stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm and a compression ratio of 12.8:1. This engine delivers enhanced throttle response across the entire RPM range and offers high potential for racetrack performance. The engine is built with high-quality titanium valves, forged pistons and shot-peened conrods. The combustion chamber accommodates large intake and exhaust valves. Intake valve size is 31mm and exhaust valve size is 25mm. The engine’s oversquare bore and stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm gives it specifically increased performance at high RPM.
• A unique Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allow the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps, adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference. Using a button on the left handlebar control module, the rider can instantaneously switch between the three available maps, which are designated A, B and C as displayed on the instrument panel. A large, efficient radiator with a trapezoidal shape developed on factory team racebikes and a trapezoidal engine oil cooler both help reduce drag. The oil cooler’s trapezoidal shape (instead of the more conventional rectangular shape), allows the lower fairing to be narrower, which helps improve aerodynamics and reduce drag. Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) uses an under-engine chamber with low-slung, large-volume race-inspired titanium mufflers.
• The compact engine allowed Suzuki engineers to incorporate a shorter wheelbase design with a longer swingarm for improved racetrack performance. Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)-plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase helps reduce friction, improve heat transfer, increase durability and provides better ring seal. The SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) system uses two butterfly valves in each throttle body barrel, the primary valve controlled by the rider via the twist grip and the secondary valve controlled by the ECM. Each throttle body feeds two cylinders and each throttle body barrel carries two ultra-fine-atomization, 12 hole injectors that produce a fine fuel mist for more complete combustion. This ultimately reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. In addition, the GSX-R1000 is outfitted with Iridium spark plugs, which produce a strong spark for efficient combustion.
