Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing
Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing (SR-VVT) System developed for Moto GP racing. Unlike complicated variable valve timing systems used by other manufactures, the SR-VVT is simpler, more compact, lighter and more positive. The centrifugally operated system is built into the intake cam sprocket and an adjacent guide plate, using 12 steel balls and slanted grooves to rotate the sprocket and retard the intake valve timing at a pre-set rpm, adding significantly to high-rpm power.
Suzuki Exhaust Tuning
Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system, which uses a servo-controlled butterfly valve to modify back pressure and tune the pipe to match engine rpm. At lower rpm, the valve closes, increasing back pressure and improving low-end torque. The valve progressively opens as engine speed increases, reducing back pressure and increasing midrange and high-rpm power.
Suzuki Top Feed Injector
Suzuki Top Feed Injector (S-TFI) ― is mounted in the top of the airbox, directly over each throttle body velocity stack, and operates at higher rpm. The TFI showerhead injector delivers fuel in an optimized spray pattern designed to enhance combustion efficiency, throttle response and top-end power.
Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System
Butterfly valves on the throttle bodies are controlled by an advanced electronic engine management system.
Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material
Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) is Suzuki’s own nickel-silicon-carbide coating technique derived from racetrack experience. SCEM cylinders allow faster heat transfer and tighter piston-to-cylinder clearance, for superb durability and resistance to scuffing.
Suzuki Drive Mode Selector
Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) system allows the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps (2maps in case of GSX-R750/600), adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference in various riding situations, such as different racetracks or tight, twisty roads. The feature helps rider to enjoy the performance in a wider range of riding situations.
Bi-Directional Quick Shift System
The system automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough—between 50 and 75 milliseconds, depending upon the sensitivity adjustment—to unload the transmission gear dogs and allow a clean upshift, producing smoother, almost uninterrupted acceleration. For quicker and smoother downshifts without manually blipping the throttle twist grip or using the clutch, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear ratio.
Suzuki Clutch Assist System
Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) – a back-torque-limiting clutch helps make downshifts smoother, assists the rider in taking control in deceleration. Ramped engagement cams built into the clutch hub decrease force on the clutch plates under deceleration by pushing up against the pressure plate, allowing the plates to slip at a controlled rate.
Slope Dependent Control System
The Slope Dependent Control System constantly monitors the posture of the vehicle even when the vehicle is traveling downhill. When the rider operates the brake lever or pedal on a downhill, the electronic control unit controls brake pressure to prevent rear wheel lift.
Motion Track Brake System
“Motion Track Brake System” by installing a Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and by combining the information of the posture of the vehicle with the front and rear wheel speeds, have made it possible for the ABS to activate not only in a straight line but also when the vehicle is leaning to either side.
Smart TLR Control
Smart TLR (Traction, Lift and Roll Torque) Control integrates the Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) with Lift Limiter and Roll Torque Control, enabling the rider to better control the bike under diverse and varying conditions.
Suzuki Traction Control System
Suzuki Traction Control System continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle position sensor, crank position sensor and gear position sensor, and quickly reduces engine output when wheel spin is detected. Engine output is controlled by managing ignition timing and air delivery to ensure smoother traction control operation. As a results rider can enjoy long distance riding more comfortable, with less stress and fatigue.
Lift Limiter
Lift Limiter brings added peace of mind by helping prevent the front wheel from lifting off the ground when accelerating. It operates silently in the background, with the Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) level setting determining the level of intervention.
Roll Torque Control
Roll Torque Control is an intelligent system that, based on data received from the IMU and wheel speed sensors, calculates the bike’s lean angle and speed to predetermine what level of power output and acceleration is optimal for a given corner. It then reduces torque output before the motorcycle exceeds the amount of power the system deems necessary to clear the corner effectively. The result is an extra layer of preemptive protection that operates silently in the background, with its settings being determined by the Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) level setting.
Low RPM Assist
Low RPM Assist uses the ISC mechanism to help raise engine rpm slightly in launching and riding at low speed. This new feature helps smoother operation when pulling away and when riding at slow speeds, this means it’s easier to pull away and easier to control the engine in stop-start traffic.
Launch Control System
Launch control system makes it easier for a racer to get a good start in closed-course competition by automatically limiting engine rpm and optimizing torque delivery while the rider holds the throttle twist grip wide open and concentrates on feeding in the clutch lever.
Suzuki Easy Start System
On a normal motorcycle when starting the engine, the rider needs to press and hold the starter switch until the engine fires up. With the Suzuki Easy Start, all you need to do is one quick push of the starter switch, just like starting a modern car engine. The ECM recognizes the signals and keeps the starter motor working for a specified time.
Suzuki Ram Air-Direct
The Suzuki Ram Air-Direct (SRAD) air intakes are positioned close to the centerline of the fairing nose – the position offering optimum intake efficiency. This results in better intake efficiency, increase engine power in high speed.
Suzuki Advanced Immobilizer System
The Suzuki Advanced Immobilizer System (SAIS) uses an electronic identification system in the owner’s key to prevent unauthorized people from starting the engine. * Not available for North American spec.
EURO 5+
Only models with European specifications comply with EURO 5 emission regulations.
Antilock Brake System
An electrically controlled Antilock Brake System (ABS) that produces stable braking force under various road surface conditions. The system helps avoid wheel locking when there is a sudden change in road surface during braking or when an excessive braking force is applied. The system monitors wheel speed, and matches stopping power to available traction. * ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. Please always ride at a safe speed for road and weather conditions, including while cornering.
