Latest Electronic Features

The new 2017 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki Powerful Sports Bike comes with the latest electronic system of all times. It contains the 32-bit Dual Processor Engine Module (ECM), which blends the vast street-going EFI knowledge of Suzuki with the intelligence from race-winning MotoGP program. The rider will enjoy an ultimate performance without any peer while simultaneously receiving polished street manners. Thanks to the knowledge of MotoGP, the Suzuki brand managed to fit an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in this sports bike. This unit offers six directions, three-axis motion and position information to the ECM. It results in an instantaneous adjustment to its engine and chassis electronically without influencing its performance. Its new Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies are accurately opened by its new ECM to sync the throttle grip rotation by its rider’s hand. This mechanism results in strong power delivery from the engine. There are ten different modes of Motion Track Traction Control System (MT-TCS). This system is very helpful in the increase of rider’s confidence by allowing him to adjust the amount of intervention to match the riding ability and surface conditions. This system brings additional control to anti-lock braking (ABS). The MT-TCS offers an appropriate amount of braking force for the available traction. When the IMU detects the rear wheel is lifting up due to extreme braking force, the ABS control module will adjust the pressure of front brake to reduce the lift of rear wheel. The LCD multi-function Instrument Panel was inspired by the GSX-RR MotoGP dash. The layout of this panel is kept simple so that rider can easily watch the tachometer bar, speedometer digital, and other information. There are three modes available for Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offering a different level of engine outputs. The Suzuki Easy Start System simplifies the startup of the new 2017 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki Powerful Sports Bike. The ECM automatically cranks the engine for about 1.5 seconds with the push of starter button. There is no need for the rider to pull the clutch level if the transmission is in neutral. Once the bike starts, the ECM will control the electronic throttle bodies to maintain its consistent engine idle speed. An innovative Suzuki Low RPM Assist System not only take-off smoothly but it also reduces the chance of the rider stalling the bike. The ECM also raises the RPM slightly for a smoother start when the clutch is released.

It is the 999.8cc inline-four cylinder engine delivering the best performance with strong low to mid-range power. The crankshaft retains the Suzuki’s Even Firing Order Engine legacy. It enables this bike for smooth power delivery and sweats exhaust note like the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000 and 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000R. The bore to stroke ratio of this engine is 76 mm to 55.1 mm respectively. This newly designed engine is carefully mounted to its chassis providing the precise handling and to balance the weight of the bike. The new Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing System (SR-VVT) features the centrifugal actuated mechanism to increase high engine RPM power without losing the low to mid-range power. Each cylinder contains the titanium valves, two 31.5 mm intake and two 24mm exhaust valves. The lighter valves are very responsive and it allows the 14,500 RPM redline, which helps to produce very high peak horsepower. The new aluminum piston is about 76 mm in diameter and they have engineered with the use of FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis. They were cast for ultimate rigidity and weight. The SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) coated cylinder are integrated into the upper crankcase to reduce the friction plus it improves the heat transfer and durability. The high 13.2:1 compression ratio provides the high horsepower. The cylinder head’s shallow combustion chamber minimizes the heat produced during operation. The EFI system uses the Suzuki’s new Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle Bodies. The automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) enhances the cold starting plus it stabilizes the engine idle regardless of the temperature of the engine. There are four Suzuki Top Feed Injectors (S-TFI) being used in it, which spray fuel from the top of the air box directly into the intake funnels. The air box comes with the Staked Air Intake Funnels to improve its top end power without losing the lower RPM performance. Its simple design allows good air flow at all intake speeds. To increase the volumetric flow of air, Suzuki has used new Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) intake ducts. The new 4-2-1 exhaust system with titanium muffler is perfectly designed to ensure the best performance of the engine. Its titanium muffler provides the best appearance while creating the distinctive sound. The Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system valve in the mid-pipe helps in the controlling of back-pressure and to reduce exhaust sound. The cooling system of new 2017 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki Powerful Sports Bike was designed by using the latest analysis design so that coolant flows through the engine and radiator more efficiently. This new system features the better cooling efficiency and it is compact and lighter. The twin cooling fans guarantee the good cooling at lower road speeds. Additional heat in the engine is removed via air-cooled, radiator-style oil cooler mounted directly below the main radiator.
