2011 Suzuki GSX-R750K8 – 8th Generation Suzuki GSX-R750: Multi-mode power adjustments
The Incredible 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750.
The brand-new, redesigned 2011 GSX-R750 is the latest version of the original GSX-R – the championship-winning sport bike that is literally in a class of its own. While the unrivaled GSX-R750’s only challenge is outdoing itself, the all-new 2011 model responds with bold styling and exceptional performance. On the road or on the track, the 2011 GSX-R750 delivers a riding experience that is a breathtaking combination of outstanding engine performance, swift handling, compact size and light weight. The key to the GSX-R750’s racetrack-conquering speed and agile handling is the pairing of its powerful inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve 750cc engine into the lightweight, compact chassis of a 600cc Supersport. It’s a winning combination that will allow any rider to experience the exhilarating rush of a middleweight AMA Supersport bike.
2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 Features
Engine Features
750cc 4-cylinder engine
The GSX-R750 is outfitted with a 750cc 4-cylinder engine with a race-proven oversquare bore/stroke ratio for efficient, high-revving output.
The GSX-R750 is equipped with a new 4-into-1 stainless-steel exhaust system featuring a titanium muffler, which carries a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve. The system maximizes torque and improves throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid RPM range.
Advanced, race-developed transistorized ignition control circuit helps maintain more precise ignition timing across the range of engine temperature.
The GSX-R750 powerplant utilizes forged pistons, shot-peened conrods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes for outstanding engine performance.
Suzuki Drive Mode Selector
Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of two racing-developed engine control maps to suit road conditions and personal tastes.
The GSX-R750 uses the world-class Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system, equipped with fine-spray 8-hole injectors, for improved fuel atomization. This contributes to more complete combustion in the cylinder.
Lightweight titanium-alloy valves are controlled by single valve spring to reduce mechanical losses.
Transmission Features
The crankcase carries a six-speed close-ratio transmission with vertically staggered shafts, to reduce overall engine length.
A race-proven back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.
Suspension
Showa Big-Piston front Fork
Race-developed, lightweight Showa Big Piston front-Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance.
Showa Rear Shock
A single Showa rear shock features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height.
Chassis Features
Twin-spar Aluminum Frame
Lightweight and compact: twin-spar aluminum cradle frame made of five cast sections and cast swingarm.
Footpegs shift lever fuel tank
Three-way adjustable footpegs, an adjustable shift lever, and a short fuel tank help produce a comfortable riding position.
Small, simple and lightweight bodywork features exciting and aerodynamic styling.
Brakes
The GSX-R750 comes equipped with front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo monoblock calipers.
The GSX-R750’s compact, lightweight instrument cluster comes with a built-in lap timer/stopwatch and programmable engine RPM indicators.
Instrumentation
Instrument cluster features an Analog tachometer; LCD readouts include speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure indicator, S-DMS and gear position indicators.
Steering Damper
An electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force at racetrack and highway speeds.
