Engine Features

• The GSX-S1000’s long-stroke GSX-R engine is refined to produce a broad, smooth torque curve through the full rev-range with increased peak horsepower. The GSX-S1000 provides predictable and controllable throttle response with abundant top-end power to provide the rider an exciting, responsive, and rewarding riding experience.
• The camshaft profiles have reduced lift and valve overlap to not only to improve emissions, but balance the engine’s performance and drivability, enhancing rider control. The valve springs are carefully calibrated to the camshafts to aid performance and improve durability.
• The cam chain tensioner and tension adjuster use special materials to reduce friction and improve durability.
• Suzuki’s legendary Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) design is machined into the cylinder head that, with the flat-top pistons, achieves an optimal 12.2:1 compression ratio that helps deliver a broad spread of power throughout the entire rev range.
• Aluminum pistons, engineered with use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis, are cast with optimal rigidity and weight. Ventilation holes between the cylinders reduce pumping loss within the crankcase so the engine can deliver more power and torque. Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)–plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase reduce friction and improve heat transfer and durability.
• The matte, textured engine finish presents a strong image of quality while the casting design of the engine covers (clutch, stator, and drive sprocket) are updated over the prior generation parts with a new shape and finish.
• Electronic throttle bodies are used on the GSX-S1000, so engine response is smooth and controlled, especially when the rider is applying the throttle to accelerate out of a corner. These Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies provide precise control for the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), Traction Control* (TC), and Bi-directional Quick Shift system (QS). Long-tip, 10-hole fuel injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization, while the ECM’s automatic idle speed control improves cold starting and stabilizes the engine idle.
• The air cleaner has an internal structure that contributes to the GSX-S1000’s increased engine performance while maintaining the exciting intake sound that the GSX-S1000 is renowned for. The air cleaner’s external shape was changed to accommodate the larger capacity fuel tank.
• Retaining the under-chassis design, sharp looks, and exciting note of the prior generation’s system, the GSX-S1000’s stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system was fully redesigned and tuned. Behind the header pipes, the mid-chamber contains a second catalytic converter to help ensure emissions compliance, a low center-of-gravity, and good exhaust flow to help the engine deliver a strong low- to mid-range punch with an exciting rush to redline.
• The effective Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve manages flow from the mid-chamber into the sculpted muffler that has a pleasing appearance that is not common to under-chassis exhausts while creating an exciting, distinctive sound. With the catalytic converters located in the mid-chamber, GSX-S1000 riders can fit an EPA or CARB-compliant silencer from suppliers such as Yoshimura R & D, USA.
• The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs that increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to higher power, more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.
• The angular radiator shrouds efficiently guide cooling air to the high-capacity curved radiator. A thermostatically controlled cooling fan helps ensure lower coolant temperatures when riding in slow moving traffic. The design also deflects hot air away from the rider at speed.

Key Features

• Led by a stacked mono-focus LED headlight assembly and bold, angular styling that includes MotoGP inspired winglets, the GSX-S1000’s aggressive naked sportbike stance speaks of power and performance potential.
• The 999cc, GSX-R-based engine produces high peak power with strong torque in the low- to mid-range that is smoothly controlled by Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies for a stimulating sportbike experience.
• Upright streetfighter ergonomics, a twin-spar aluminum frame and fully adjustable KYB suspension deliver controlled handling while ABS-equipped** Brembo Monobloc brake calipers with dual, floating brake rotors provide controlled stopping power. (**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.)
• The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) smooths shifting and engine braking, while shifting has never been easier with the Bi-directional Quick Shift system.
• The GSX-S1000 uses the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) with a three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector and the five-mode Advanced Traction Control* System plus the popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems. (*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider's throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.)
• Select from Suzuki’s hero Metallic Triton Blue or new Glass Sparkle Black paint scheme – each featuring unique logos that help identify the sport’s dominant naked sportbike.

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

• The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) provides the rider a choice of three different engine power output modes. All three modes deliver maximum engine output but provide different throttle response and torque characteristics when accelerating. These three modes (A, B, and C) provide the rider a quick and easy way to alter the GSX-S1000’s power delivery characteristic to match his or her riding style, or adjust to changing weather, road and other conditions. Mode A (Active) is for active, sporty use that delivers the sharpest throttle response as the rider opens the throttle. Mode A’s torque characteristics are finely tuned to deliver exciting acceleration when hitting the throttle hard, such as when participating in track day events or enjoying a sporty run on clean, winding roads in good weather. Mode B (Basic) is for general, all-around riding, as it features softer throttle response and a more linear power delivery curve as the rider opens the throttle. Settings are tuned to fit a wide range of riding styles and conditions, and to help make the bike controllable in everyday riding situations. Mode C (Comfort) offers a softer throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics, with power increasing in a directly linear fashion as the throttle is opened. This mode is useful when riding on wet or slippery surfaces, or when the rider desires a relaxing, comfortable ride. Using the mode and select switches on the left handlebar, the rider can change SDMS modes while riding. The mode settings are clearly displayed on the LCD instrument panel.
• The advanced Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System leverages the capability of the GSX-S1000’s 32-bit ECM and CAN-style wire harness to precisely control engine output relative to throttle action. This precision allows the throttle body action to be tuned to best match each of the SDMS modes. The result is a controllable, linear power delivery that responds faithfully to the rider’s intentions, whether commuting or enjoying a sporty ride on a winding road.
• The five-mode Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) continuously monitors front- and rear- wheel speed, engine RPM, throttle position and gear position to adjust engine output to prevent undesired rear wheel spin, helping maintain traction and power delivery to the road. Compared to the three-mode system on the prior generation GSX-S1000, this updated, five-mode version of STCS features a wider selection of sensitivity to better accommodate a variety of riding conditions, styles, and rider experience. The system can also be turned off when preferred. The higher number the mode, the quicker STCS intervenes to limit rear wheel spin. The STCS modes are displayed on the LCD instrument panel and can be changed on-the-fly, using the left handlebar switch. When the system is trimming power to prevent wheel spin, the TC icon in the center of the instrument panel will illuminate and flash.
• The Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS) allows the rider to shift up or down quickly and easily, without operating the clutch or throttle. To ensure smooth upshifts QS automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough to produce smooth, almost uninterrupted acceleration. When decelerating, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear. The result of this hands-free, automatic blipping function combines seamlessly with engine braking to create a highly satisfying experience when downshifting. The bi-directional QS works seamlessly in concert with SDMS to bring riders even greater riding enjoyment. Performance of the GSX-S1000’s SACS-style assist & slipper clutch ensures even smoother up- and down-shifts when using QS or manual clutch operation. A unique shift position sensor sends shifter movement data to the ECM, so the Bi-directional Quick Shift system precisely responds to the rider’s actions.
• The Suzuki Easy Start System lets the rider start the motorcycle with a simple press of the starter button. There is no need to pull in the clutch lever when the transmission is in neutral, and the starter motor automatically disengages, the instant the engine fires up.
• The Low RPM Assist System seamlessly increases engine speed to smooth the power delivery when launching from a standing start or riding at low speeds, which helps ensure better control and operation in stop-and-go traffic. The system also minimizes the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle during take-off.

Transmission Features

• Like a GSX-R1000, the race-proven, six-speed, close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.
• The precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the ideal gear for the riding conditions. A unique shift position sensor sends shifter movement data to the ECM, so the Bi-directional Quick Shift system precisely responds to the rider’s actions. This design creates an exceptionally positive feel at the shift lever on both upshifts and downshifts. This design is also less prone to damage on tip-overs. The transmission’s gearshift cam, shift shaft and clutch release cam were revised to support the function of this bi-directional Quick Shift system.
• The latest generation of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch is fitted to the GSX-S1000. More than ever before, the SCAS clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration, yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry. This large-diameter, wet, multi-plate clutch uses a precise cable-activated release, providing the rider with a light pull that also has superb friction-point feel.
• The strong, 525 drive chain uses O-rings to preserve internal lubrication, so power is transmitted smoothly and quietly.
