– 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000

2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000

Compact overall chassis dimensions including short reach from seat to handlebars, low footpegs, short/narrow fuel tank, low seat height – all designed for improved rider comfort and mobility

Wind-tunnel-developed bodywork with narrow vertical headlights and specially-placed ram-air ducts, plus turn signals integrated with mirrors and tail-section for minimal frontal area and low drag

Bright 55/65W headlight and LED taillight with clear external lens

Compact instrument cluster features an analog tach with rpm indicator, digital speedometer and new gear indicator – also includes LCD odometer-tripmeters, coolant temp., clock and EFI diagnostics

Lightweight aluminum frame with combination cast and extruded spar construction for precisely calculated rigidity – frame design concentrates engine mass more toward the center of the machine for improved handling

Braced aluminum swingarm is lightweight with high rigidity – right side arm is shaped to tuck in the exhaust for improved cornering clearance

Fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork features Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coated stanchion tubes to reduce friction and improve response – includes cross-mounted steering damper

Fully adjustable piggy-back shock absorber with linear rate linkage system for improved suspension response and feedback

Radial-mount four-piston front brake calipers with large 310mm rotors and radial-mount master cylinder for optimum lever feel and feedback

Bridgestone radial tires mounted on cast aluminum wheels featuring thin spoke design with optimized wall thickness to reduce unsprung weight

ENGINE FEATURES:

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

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)

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

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 cylinder head features large 30mm intake and 24mm exhaust ports, plus smaller combustion chamber and higher 12.5 :1 compression ratio for high power output
Titanium intake and exhaust valves with larger 4.5mm stems for increased strength

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

Reinforced crankshaft and chrome-moly connecting rods, plus recalibrated balancer shaft for dependable high rpm operation
Back-torque limiting clutch allows smooth downshifts, plus a rack and pinion operating system provides more positive clutch feel

Close-ratio transmission for strong acceleration, plus specially designed shift forks for smoother shifting

Large trapezoidal-shaped radiator provides high cooling capacity, plus compact cooling fan design further improves efficiency – system includes high-capacity radiator-type oil cooler
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

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

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

New-design generator supplies power to a compact maintenance-free battery
