Suzuki GSX-R1000
To the team of Suzuki
engineers responsible for the GSX-R1000, Own The Racetrack is
not just a slogan,
it is a way of life.
It is a life dedicated
to making the most successful open-class motorcycle
in the history of production-based
racing even better. By applying the latest technology
and the most recent hard-fought racing experience.
And keeping the GSX-R1000 well ahead of the would-be
competition.
The Key is the motorcycles' ability
to do precisely what the rider wants, when the rider
wants, how the
rider wants. Accelerate. Brake. Corner. Repeat. Make
it easier for the rider, and the results will show.
With better lap times on the racetrack, and more fun
on the road.
It is called Total Performance.
It is what makes the 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000 the Top
Performer. And it is
why Suzuki riders Own The Racetrack.

Suzuki GSX-R1000
To the team of Suzuki engineers responsible
for the GSX-R1000, Own The Racetrack is not just
a slogan,
it is a way of life.
It’s a life dedicated to making the most successful
open-class motorcycle in the history of production-based
racing even better. The key is the motorcycle’s
ability to do precisely what the rider wants, when
the rider wants, how the rider wants. Accelerate, brake,
corner, repeat. Make it easier for the rider, and the
results will show.
Once again Suzuki has
raised the level of open class sportbike performance.
The 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000, it’s
the reason why Suzuki riders Own The Racetrack.
The basic architecture of the compact 999cc liquid-cooled
GSX-R1000 engine is well known, a model of race-winning
design: Bore and stroke of 73.4mm x 59.0mm, forged
aluminum-alloy pistons with short skirts and cut away
sides, chrome-moly steel shotpeened connecting rods,
hollow dual overhead cams, and lightweight titanium
valves. Add to that a close-ratio six-speed transmission
with staggered transmission shafts, an adjustable back-torque
limiting clutch and a gear driven secondary balancer
shaft for reduced vibration.
A new more compact Suzuki
Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection system is in place for 2007 with 12 smaller
holes instead of four for improved fuel atomization
and because the injectors are more compact and emit
a finer spray, the secondary injectors can be positioned
at a steeper 30 degree angle aimed directly at the
intake ports for improved throttle response. Intake
and exhaust ports are re-shaped and eight percent larger
and exhaust valves are 2mm larger (26mm vs 24mm) to
work with more aggressive camshafts and Iridium spark
plugs are used for optimum combustion and longer life.
Also a new Idle Speed Control (ISC) system improves
cold starting and stabilizes engine idle under various
conditions and larger ventilation holes between cylinders
reduces pumping losses.
The Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) features
equal length head pipes feeding a collector, a short
mid-pipe and a unique under engine chamber that leads
to two short aluminum and titanium mufflers on each
side. This system nearly doubles exhaust internal volume
while lowering the center of gravity, centralizes the
mass and improving aerodynamics. A proven Suzuki
Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve finds a home on the mid pipe and
the combination of the Suzuki PAIR system, a catalyzer
and a oxygen sensor equipped closed loop engine management
system work in conjunction to reduce emissions and
improve engine efficiency.
A new larger radiator features a trapezoidal shape
typically seen on works race bikes with nearly a ten
percent increase in cooling capacity. The oil cooler
is re-shaped with a third more cooling capacity and
the oil pump is larger for increased flow.
Controlling the new 2007
GSX-R1000 is a new engine
management system with massive computing power with
four times the capacity of the previous models. The
new ECM controls not only the fuel injection and exhaust
systems but also make it possible for the rider to
select from three performance settings to match riding
conditions, using a three way switch mounted on the
right handlebar. Engine mapping will vary for each
setting and each map was developed using experience
gained building racebike maps for rainy, mixed and
dry conditions. Switching from map to map will be instantaneous
making it possible for the rider to use different maps
for different sections of the racetrack. A new self
adjusting hydraulic clutch system uses a radial master
cylinder and minimizes the change in clutch feel over
the course of long races.
Taking lessons learned from the racetrack, the 2007
GSX-R1000 utilizes an all-new frame built to improve
mass centralization by moving the rider toward the
center of the wheelbase with a shorter fuel tank and
moving the seat forward. The new frame is engineered
to deliver the optimum rigidity balance for precise
handling even at full lean. Constructed from five main
aluminum alloy-castings the new frame uses less parts
and less welding for improved accuracy and reduced
weight. A new lighter and more rigid aluminum alloy
swingarm finds a home under a two piece subframe and
features a new rear shock mounting system with a link
that pivots on the swingarm itself for improved traction
and reduced side loads.
Taking lessons learned from the latest GSX-R600 and
GSX-R750, the new GSX-R1000 also features three position
adjustable footpegs for maximum rider control and maneuverability.
New high and low-speed compression damping adjustability
is built into both front forks and the rear shock along
with adjustable rebound and preload adjustments for
maximum rider control. The outer tubes of the front
forks are now larger in diameter below the lower triple
clamp to improve rigidity while the DLC coated fork
tubes remain at 43mm. Fork offset has been changed
from 30mm to 28mm, increasing trail from 96mm to 98mm.
Front wheel travel has also been increased from 120mm
to 125mm.
The ’07 GSX-R1000
also benefits from new front brake rotors and brake
carriers. Each 310mm disc is
attached to the carrier using 12 floating mounts instead
of 8 for improved heat transfer away from the disc.
The disc is also slightly thinner, measuring 5.0mm
vs 5.5mm for reduced weight. The rear brake is a 220mm
rear disc working with a single piston caliper now
mounted above the swingarm, to reduce the effect of
rear suspension movement caused by braking.
Handling will also benefit from the use of an all-new
electronically controlled steering damper. A solenoid
valve operated by the engine management system controls
a tapered needle, increasing or reducing oil flow for
increased or reduced damping force.
Extensive wind tunnel testing led to new and improved
bodywork for the 2007 GSX-R1000, with an aggressive
style and an overall reduced frontal area for amazing
aerodynamic performance. A slightly taller windscreen
also makes it easier for the rider to tuck in on the
racetrack. New vertically stacked headlights also debut
on the new GSX-R1000. The multi-reflector headlight
has a new simpler shape and uses a 55w H7 halogen bulb
positioned over a 70mm projector high beam.
Because everything else
is new on the 2007 GSX-R1000,
the instrument cluster is new as well. The new instruments
include a step motor controlled analog tachometer,
digital LCD speedometer, dual LCD tripmeters, an LCD
clock, coolant temp/fuel injection readout, gear position
indicator and a programmable LED engine rpm indicator
light. A new LCD engine mode indicator displays which
performance setting has been selected by the rider.
The new 2007
GSX-R1000 has been developed with lessons
learned over more than 20 years of production racing
domination.
It is more than just a motorcycle. It is the most
powerful and most efficient GSX-R ever built. The
2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000, Own The Racetrack.
