Suzuki GSX-R1100M
Open Class Phenomenon:
Direct Access Racing Technology
The new Suzuki GSX-R1100 brings to the open class of production motorcycles
an all-around superiority won in successful factory racing actions and
proven in a wide range of production endurance racing events. Powerful,
circuit-bred performance features like engine improvements straight out
of the factory team’s race shop, rigid inverted front forks and Suzuki’s
unique progressive link rear suspension - all cradled within an aluminum-alloy
frame and swingarm whose efficiency has been proved with modified racing
engines. The new GSX-R1100 is another Suzuki success in efficient application
of racing technology to street bikes. It’s direct-access racing technology
in action.
• The latest GSX-R1100 1127cc powerhouse features cylinder head designs straight from the factory racers:
• Valve seats are smoothly blended with reshaped intake ports for better cylinder charging and higher torque.
• Use of lightweight, single rocker arms to open each valve, and use of small shims to adjust valve lash, reduces inertial mass and mechanical losses.
• New, double-row ball bearing is used on the transmission output shaft.
• New crankcase system sprays a constant stream of oil on the 3rd, 4th and 5th gearsets for better gear lubrication and cooling.
• Suzuki Advanced Cooling System (SACS), combined with air cooling, efficiently carries engine heat away to the high-capacity curved Radial Flow cooler.
• Larger 40mm Slingshot carburetors maintain quick engine response.
• A new remote choke control lever is conveniently positioned on the left handlebar.
• Cool-air induction system routes cool, dense air from the fairing intake to the airbox.
• Aluminum-alloy double-cradle frame, together with swingarm reinforced with gussets, features rigidity well proven with modified racing engines.
• lnverted front forks have higher rigidity and provide better fork response. Suzuki’s unique progressive link rear suspension system is combined with a remote-reservoir rear shock.
• Wide aluminum-alloy wheels with hollow spokes carry high-performance 17-inch front and rear radial tires.
• 310mm front brake discs with surface slotting and floating carrier mounts are mounted, together with 4-piston calipers with staggered piston sizes.
• New factory racer-derived, narrower fairing with flush-mounted headlights,
along with sidecovers and tailsection, are wind-tunnel refined and provide
better aerodynamics.
