• The cam chain tensioner and tension adjuster are updated 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 for optimal rigidity and weight.
• The engine case finish presents a strong image of quality, while the design of the engine covers (clutch, stator, and drive sprocket) are updated with a new shape and finish.
• New electronic throttle bodies are used on the GSX-S1000GT, so engine response is smoother and even more controlled, especially when the rider is applying the throttle to accelerate out of a corner.
• The air cleaner has a new internal structure that contributes to the GSX-S1000GT’s increased engine performance while maintaining the exciting intake sound that the GSX-S1000 is renowned.
• Retaining the under-chassis design, sharp looks, and exciting note of the prior generation GSX-S1000F’s system, the GSX-S1000GT’s new stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system is completely redesigned and tuned.
• A refined Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve manages flow from the mid-chamber into the muffler, while the sculpted muffler has a pleasing appearance that’s uncommon to under-chassis exhausts and creates an exciting, distinctive sound that won't overpower the rider and passenger's senses.
• The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs which increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to higher power, a more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.
• The lower cowl and radiator-shrouds efficiently guide cooling air to the high-capacity, curved radiator.
• Additional heat is removed from the engine via the use of a lightweight and compact liquid-cooled oil cooler (like those used on certain GSX-R models).

Key Features

• Ready to split the wind, the full fairing brings a new standard of aerodynamics and rider wind protection to the sport touring category. The dual mono-focus LED headlights and V shaped LED position light creates a distinctive appearance and great illumination.
