Suzuki GSX-R1000 2001 - 2003
For the model year of 2001 Suzuki introduced a new GSX-R model that replaced the largest and most powerful of the racing replica family, GSX-R1100. As the model name reveals, the engine's cylinder displacement was 100 cc smaller than its predecessor but the new 988 cc engine was more than adequate to give the GSX-R1000 enormous prestanda. It delivers 160 bhp at 11.000 rpm and the bike was capable of making a quarter mile in under 10 seconds.

The new GSX-R1000 was voted as the best Internation Bike Of The Year in 2001 by 13 bike magazines from all over the world. The GSX-R750 won the award in 1997.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 2001 - 2003
2003 Suzuki year code: K3
After the GSX-R1000 had been two years on the roads and and race tracks Suzuki put out an even better version of the model in late September of 2002. Suzuki engineers had been working on the three things that make a fast bike faster,weight, power and handling. The 2003 year's GSX-R1000 is improved in all three counts. It weigh less, has even more more power/torque and even better handling.
The physical dimensions of the bike are almost identical with the previous year's model. The seat height and the overall height are somewhat lower but the geometry of the bike is exactly the same as before. The already rigid aluminum allow frame is newly designed and enforced with internal ribs. The frame as well as the wheels were now coated black.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 2001 - 2003
The front brakes are new. Suzuki decided to drop the six-piston calipers. The new radially-mounted four-piston calipers weigh 30 g less and grip smaller 300 mm discs that save another 300 g weight. Though smaller, Suzuki claims that the new brakes provide better stopping and turn-in performance.
The headlights of the 2003 year's GSX-R1000 are mounted vertically to enable the ram-air intakes in the front to be placed 20 mm nearer the bike's center line. The new design makes the GSX-R1000 look a bit like the Hayabusa. Even the instruments are redesigned.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 2001 - 2003
The cylinder displacement of the engine remains the same 988 cc but more power and torque and better throttel responce has been achieved by adding four ventilation holes between the cylinders to equalize crankcase pressure beneath the pistons, moving the air intake nearer to the centerline and upgrading the engine management system to a 32-bit CPU that monitors and controls the engine functions, input from the rider and the exhaust tuning valve.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 2001 - 2003
The entire exhaust system is now entirely made of titanium to save additional weight (600 g or 1.32 lbs) and the tail light is replaced with led type to give a more hi-tech look.
All the fine tuning have given the new GSX-R1000 2 bhp more power, increased the torque with 10% and made the bike 2 kg (4.4 lbs) lighter.
Colors available: Blue/white, Silver, Black/Orange.

Drive The GSX-R 1000
The GSX-R 1000 weighs only 4 kilograms more than the GSX-R 750 with nearly identical width and overall length measurements. The engine itself is the same width as the GSX-R 750 engine, and is just 14mm taller and 6mm longer front-to-rear.
The engine layout is nearly identical to that of the 750 with liquid cooling, double overhead cams driven by chain off the right side of the crankshaft, four valves per cylinder, downdraft throttle body fuel injection, the cylinder block integrated into the upper crankcase casting, and transmission shafts positioned below and behind the crankshaft on a separate crankshaft split, to reduce overall engine length. Cylinder bores are electro-plated with Suzuki's own race developed nickel-phosphorus-silicon-carbide coating, known as SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material).

Play The GSX-R 1000
The GSX-R 1000 and GSX-R 750 share the same cylinder head assembly and components, with just timing and profile revisions to the hollow-core camshafts. The 29mm intake valves are set at 12 degrees from the cylinder centreline, the 24mm exhaust valves at 13 degrees from the cylinder centreline. Cam lobes operate directly on bucket tappets, 26mm on the intake valves and 24mm on the exhaust valves. Valve lash is adjusted with replaceable shims located underneath the bucket tappets. Intake & Exhaust valves have 4mm stems and are controlled by single springs made with a new spring steel alloy and held in place by forged aluminium retainers. Combustion chamber shape and volume are unchanged, and the cylinder head retains a separate set of internal passageways for lubricating oil.
Compared to the GSX-R 750 engine, the GSX-R 1000 engine's bore and stroke have been increased from 72x46mm to 73x59mm. Although larger in diameter, the GSX-R 1000's forged pistons are actually 3 grams lighter than the GSX-R 750's pistons. The pistons are lighter because they are shaped differently to work with the same size combustion chamber, with a dished done replacing the GSX-R 750 piston's raised dome. The wrist pin is 16mm in diameter, 1mm larger than that of the 750.

Love The GSX-R 1000
The crankcases are larger to accommodate the increase in stroke as well as wider transmission gears, a larger clutch, a new oil cooler system and a compact balancer shaft positioned ahead of the crankshaft.
Primary, secondary and first gear ratios are taller, reducing the overall sixth gear ratio. The diameter of the 19-plate clutch has been increased by 7mm.
The GSX-R 1000's crankshaft, besides having a longer stroke, has larger diameter main bearing journals, 35mm versus 32mm, with width remaining at 24mm. Crank pins are also larger in diameter, 38mm versus 33mm, with width unchanged at 20mm. Overall crankshaft width is identical for the two models.
The cam, clutch, starter, alternator and driveshaft sprocket covers are all made of magnesium alloy, to reduce weight.
In a first for Suzuki the new GSX-R 1000 brings the debut of what Suzuki are calling their SET (Suzuki Exhaust Tuning) variable exhaust tuning with digital control.
The four-into-two-into-one exhaust system itself uses a combination of titanium, stainless steel and aluminium parts to reduce weight. The header pipes, collector and internal muffler core pipes and core-pipe mounting plates are made of titanium.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 in detail
The new GSX-R 1000 uses a modified version of the digitally controlled Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system introduced on the 750. This excellent system uses a computer-operated secondary throttle butterfly valve in each throttle body to maintain ideal intake velocity by matching intake area to intake vacuum. In simple terms, the system operates like a digital constant-velocity carburettor, producing smooth throttle response, even if the rider quickly opens the throttle at relatively low engine rpm.
The GSX-R's fuel injection system uses the same 42mm throttle bodies as used on the latest 750, but the secondary throttle butterfly valve linkage is controlled by a stepping motor mounted directly on the throttle body.
The same Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) intake and pressurized airbox system is used but four 5 x 15mm slots have been built into the base of each velocity stack. The slots reduce intake pulses created by the larger displacement cylinders to help smooth mid-range power delivery.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 in detail
A 16-bit engine management system ECU with enhanced 96-byte memory operates the GSX-R 1000's 3D-mapped fuel injection, secondary throttle butterfly valve, exhaust butterfly valve and ignition systems, and has self diagnostic functions.
A digital LCD speedo and step-motor driven analogue tachometer are incorporated into a compact instrument cluster similar to that used on the 750. LCD displays also include the odometer, dual trip meters, coolant temperature and clock.
Although built to the same design as that of the 750, the GSX-R 1000 chassis is balanced to match the larger engine size, weight and power delivery characteristics. Compared to the GSX-R 750's chassis, the GSX-R 1000's aluminium main frame spars have stronger outside walls, measuring 2.5mm in thickness instead of 2mm. The 1000's frame has two upper engine mounts on each spar, instead of two mounts on the left spar and one mount on the right spar. Rake and Trail are identical to those of the GSX-R

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 in detail
The GSX-R 1000 is fitted with fully-adjustable KYB suspension front and rear. The inverted, cartridge front forks feature titanium-nitrided coated stanchion tubes to reduce stiction and improve response.
The piggyback reservoir rear shock features an automatic temperature-compensation damping system. As on the 750, a cross-mounted steering damper is standard.
New differential bore six-aluminium-piston front brake calipers are lighter and more rigid than any previous six-piston calipers. The dual aluminium piston rear brake caliper is smaller and lighter than the 750's item.
