2013 Suzuki GSX650F Review

2013 Suzuki GSX650F

Here’s fuel-injected proof that sportbikes don’t have to be one-dimensional.

Introducing the new GSX650F, featuring an ideal balance of sportbike excitement and all-around versatile performance.

It offers crisp handling, so you can turn any winding road into a ride to remember. Its liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine is tuned for strong low-end and midrange power, for smooth and easy riding around town.

Whether you’re on the back roads or the open highway, you’ll appreciate the GSX650F’s comfortable design, including a more upright seating position that makes all-day rides a pleasure. And the GSX650F has one more feature that you’ll appreciate – a price tag that will leave you smiling.

Smoothly powerful, this is a 650 with a long list of refinements and an aerodynamic fairing for keeping the rider snug in all weathers. The detailed specification is a direct result of hundreds of hours of design time and experienced rider input. The result is an everyday sports ride making it the middleweight for all seasons.

With a 790mm seat the GSX650F makes it easier to get astride, the one-piece seat is also designed to accommodate pillion riders in more comfort. Higher ‘bars, lower foot pegs, the adjustable Kayaba suspension plus the adjustable span of the clutch and brake levers to suit individual hands, confirm this as a well thought-out machine with comfort, mileage and fun in mind.

The chassis and its 1,470mm wheelbase has impeccable two-up straight line and cornering stability. With more room on the bike for two-up riding, powering up through the gears will prove this 650 is both pleasurable and fun to ride whether you’re commuting, touring or just going for a blast and for 2012, the GSX650F is now available with ABS for extra peace of mind.

 

 

2013 Suzuki GSX650F Key Features

All new, compact, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, DOHC 656cc engine utilizing a bore and stroke of 65.5 mm x 48.7 mm and featuring strong and easily accessible power and torque.

Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection system for smooth acceleration. Fuel injectors are compact and lightweight with 4 hole injectors for optimum fuel atomization and greater power output.

The cylinder head achieves a narrow valve angle of 17 degrees intake and exhaust for high intake and exhaust efficiency.

Cam profiles are chosen with an emphasis on low-to-mid range power output and help to deliver highly accessible performance that is well suited to an entry level rider.

Piston rings are manufactured with ion plating treatment using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for a smoother surface, increased durability and reduced friction and reduced oil consumption.

Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coated cylinders deliver high heat dissipation and allow for smaller piston to cylinder clearances.

A large capacity exhaust system utilizes a high capacity catalyzer and an oxygen sensor to meet strict Euro 3 and Tier 2 emissions requirements while still providing strong performance throughout the rpm range.

The GSX650F keeps cool with a high efficiency radiator combined with a 190mm electric cooling fan controlled by the ECM and a high output water pump with a bearing-less design for reduced weight.

New six speed transmission works smoothly with a hydraulic clutch for crisp shifting in a variety of riding conditions.
