2008 Suzuki GSX-R1000™ for Sale

Chassis Features

• Aluminum alloy twin-spar frame is built using five castings for lightweight, unmatched handling and performance, increased production precision, and reduced weight.
• Die-cast aluminum-alloy swingarm is more rigid and features an innovative new link system which pivots on the swingarm itself for increased traction and reduced side loaDual Sport.
• DLC coated 43 millimeter forks and rear shock feature high and low speed compression damping along with adjustable rebound and preload settings.
• Forks feature larger 56 millimeter outer tubes below the triple clamp for increased rigidity.
• Electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
• Adjustable rider footpegs can be moved into three different positions to suit rider preferences.
• 310 millimeter front brake discs are attached to the carrier with ten floating mounts instead of eight for improved heat transfer away from the disc.
• Rear disc works with a single piston caliper and is mounted above the swingarm for reduced braking effect on the rear suspension.
• Wind tunnel developed bodywork features an aggressive style, reduced frontal area and a tall winDual Sportcreen for optimum aerodynamic performance.
• Vertically stacked headlight features a compact projector bulb and when combined with the sleek bodywork and tailsection offer maximum rider mobility and unmatched styling.
• An easy-to-read instrument cluster includes a step motor controlled analog tachometer, digital LCD speedometer, dual tripmeters, clock, convenient gear position sensor, rpm indicator light and a new LCD S-DMS mode indicator displaying which performance setting has been selected by the rider.
• Close-ratio six-speed transmission with an adjustable back torque limiter for smoother downshifts.
• Bridgestone radial tires mounted on cast aluminum wheels featuring thin spoke design with optimized wall thickness to reduce unsprung weight.

Engine Features

• 999 cubic centimeter four-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine for increased power, torque and acceleration with forged aluminum alloy pistons, chrome-moly shotpeened connecting roDual Sport, hollow camshafts, and a secondary balancer shaft for reduced vibration.
• Compact fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - with twelve smaller holes for maximum fuel delivery and steeper angle for secondary injectors.
• Idle Speed Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting, consistent idle quality and reduced emissions.
• High volume Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with equal length head pipes feeding a unique under engine chamber leading to two compact aluminum/titanium mufflers on each side.
• The mid-pipe includes a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system for maximum torque throughout the rpm range and an oxygen sensor used by the engine management system and combined with the under-engine catalyzer for reduced emissions.
• 48 millimeter ventilation holes between cylinders reduce pumping losses.
• Self adjusting hydraulic clutch uses and minimizes changes in clutch feel over a long race.
• Back-torque limiting clutch allows smooth downshifts, plus a rack and pinion operating system provides a positive clutch feel.
• S-DMS (Suzuki-Drive Mode Selector) system allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match track conditions with a handlebar mounted switch.
• Radiator utilizes a trapezoidal shape seen on works race bikes. The oil pump is larger for increased capacity and performance.
