– 2003 Suzuki GSX-R1000

Sportbike GSX-R1000 – 2003 GSX-R1000K3

KEY FEATURES:

“Best Superbike” – Cycle World Magazine 10 Best “Motorcycle of the Year” – Motorcyclist Magazine

CHASSIS FEATURES:

– Sleek bodywork includes aerodynamic front fender, front cowl with vertical headlight, inner rear fender, tail section and fuel tank- all designed for optimum aerodynamics

– Compact instrument cluster features a step-motor-driven analog tach.with rpm indicator light and digital speedometer – also includes LCD odometer-tripmeters, coolant temp., clock and EFI diagnostics

– Bright LED-type taillight and compact turn signal design

– Black-painted aluminum frame is both lightweight and rigid – features adjustable swingarm pivot (kit parts required) plus durable sub-frame design

– Braced aluminum swingarm features extruded arms internally reinforced for strength

– Fully adjustable 43mm inverted forks feature Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coated stanchion tubes to reduce friction and improve response – includes cross-mounted steering damper

– Fully adjustable piggy-back shock absorber with an aluminum body and temperature compensating system for more consistent damping performance

– Radially-mounted four-piston front brake calipers reduce flex for strong brake performance and permit use of lightweight 300mm rotors

– Opposed-dual-piston rear brake caliper with 220mm rotor

– Lightweight cast aluminum wheels and Bridgestone radial tires.

ENGINE FEATURES:

– Compact 988cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with gear-driven counterbalancer features with unique ventilation system to equalize lower-cylinder pressure and reduce mechanical loss

– Electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV)- maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output. Includes Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS).

– Tapered, double-barrel throttle body design is simple in design with minimal weight
32-bit ECM with 22-trigger pole rpm sensor, provides precise control of ignition timing and injector operation for each cylinder

– Pulsed-air injection system (PAIR) helps reduce emissions

– Internal oil passageways feed hydraulic cam chain tensioner, eliminating external oil lines to minimize weight

– Cylinder head features a narrow 25° included valve angle, creating a compact combustion chamber, high compression ratio and a straight intake tract for high power output

– Ram-air intake ducts are located at the point of highest dynamic air pressure for maximum ram air pressure, charging efficiency and torque output

– Durable SCEM-plated cylinders house new lightweight forged pistons with low-tension rings to reduce friction

– Suzuki Exhaust Tuning System (SET) regulates exhaust back pressure in the exhaust system to suit running conditions and maintain optimum engine torque

– Titanium 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system features larger-volume muffler to improve flow and power without increasing noise level

– Large radiator and high-capacity oil cooler provide maximum cooling efficiency

– Six-speed transmission with high-capacity 19-plate clutch
